\n\t\tPlayStation VR2 was never a hit (Sony)<\/p>\n
The Friday letters page asks how the changes at Lucasfilm will affect future Star Wars<\/a> games, as one reader considers the difficulties of making a new Mortal Kombat<\/a> game.<\/p>\n Games Inbox<\/a> is a collection of our readers\u2019 letters, comments, and opinions. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Reality collapse The point at which I already knew VR gaming was dead is when the PlayStation VR2 launched with just one Sony<\/a> game and then they literally never mentioned it again. I don\u2019t know how or why they ever bothered to release it, but they shouldn\u2019t of really. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I bought it and I love what it can do, but the support has been abysmal.<\/p>\n The support for Meta Quest has been really good though and that never helped it. I think the whole concept is just too expensive and too niche and it\u2019s really only weirdos like me that have any lasting interest in it. I really don\u2019t see anyone bothering again until headsets are the size of glasses and a lot cheaper than they are now. Secret distractions I hope this sort of nonsense is not something that\u2019s going to distract Rockstar from finishing the game this year. Morale has got to be rock bottom with all this going on, with developers worrying they\u2019re going to be next and that they\u2019ll be sacked for no reason in an instant, like an American company.<\/p>\n I never liked how secretive Rockstar is and I don\u2019t see the reason for it. I\u2019d like to know who makes my favourite games, especially because then I\u2019d know when they\u2019re gone. Wild revelation I don\u2019t get how the game shipped like that, but I definitely don\u2019t get how it can be almost a year old at this point and nobody at Capcom figured out what this fan did. Maybe when Capcom play the game they always have all the DLC installed? But I doubt it, that sounds like a lot of faff for something they don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a shame because I don\u2019t like Monster Hunter, but I wanted it to be bringing in the cash for Capcom so they could make other, more interesting games. I hope these problems are not going to prevent that. Because if there\u2019s one thing that Code Violet<\/a> makes clear, it\u2019s that we need a new Dino Crisis. Rebooting reboots The obvious thing to do, to me, is remake the original, but they\u2019ve kind of already done that with the 2011 reboot so I\u2019m not really sure. As a fan I\u2019d be happy with a straightforward sequel that undoes all the story stuff from Mortal Kombat 1 but they need something that\u2019s a big sales draw and I\u2019m not sure what that would be.<\/p>\n To me they\u2019ve kind of painted themselves into a corner because the games have got so bloody and gory now they\u2019re putting ordinary people off. But if they backtrack and make them less gory then that\u2019s going to upset fans, who are already pretty riled. If I was Ed Boon I\u2019d retire now and let someone else sort the problem out, because I sure wouldn\u2019t want to. \t\t\t\tExpert, exclusive gaming analysis\t\t\t<\/p>\n Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter<\/a> for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more.

No idea where 86 hours playtime for that came from, but that\u2019s what it says. Then 46 hours on Zelda: The Wind Waker before I accidentally deleted my save file, d\u2019oh. Day one purchase I\u2019ve been able to enjoy some great games, such as Ghost Of Y\u014dtei, Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, and Demon\u2019s Souls remake. But I\u2019ve felt, personally, the focus on live service games and the disappointing release periods in between titles, when compared to the PlayStation 4, has affected the satisfaction of consumers.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve really had duds like Concord, when we\u2019ve yet to see nothing on Bloodborne and titles like Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet are a long while away. There\u2019s also less exclusives that aren\u2019t also released on PC. So it\u2019s essentially seeing PlayStation games go multi-platform.<\/p>\n On a brighter note, 2026 looks fantastic, as the line-up includes Marvel\u2019s Wolverine and Phantom Blade 0. So I\u2019d say it\u2019s definitely worth upgrading to the PlayStation 5. At least for the many titles that have passed you by. If you\u2019d like my recommendation on where to begin, I\u2019d recommend Demon\u2019s Souls remake, since it\u2019s only on PlayStation 5. \t\t\t\tDon’t miss Gaming news!

Kooloo-Limpah! Obviously, there\u2019s only one person who can. Peter Tinglage. Although, Danny DeVito would be the superior choice. Changing of the guard I don\u2019t think many people think Disney has been good for Star Wars so far and while Filoni is popular with some fans I thought the Ahsoka series was pretty terrible and I hate the way he always goes for nostalgia bait.<\/p>\n What I\u2019m not sure on though, and the reason I write, is his opinion on video games. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve ever really heard him speak about them. I remember hearing that he based the clonetroopers in Clone Wars on how they were portrayed in Republic Commando, so I guess he must play games to some degree, but that is literally the only time I\u2019ve heard him connected with them.<\/p>\n Games with Disney have had a much better hit rate than movies or shows and I\u2019m one of those that liked Outlaws. I do think that giving EA the exclusive licence at first was a mistake though, that led to a lot of wasted years.<\/p>\n I would be very interested in hearing him talk about his vision for Star Wars games in the future though, as long as it\u2019s not just as an excuse to shove in a bunch of cameos. Inbox also-rans I really never liked Wolverine and the X-Men but didn\u2019t EA\u2019s Iron Man and Black Panther games get cancelled? Hopefully Insomniac can get the licence for them and do them instead. I\u2019d much rather that or a Hulk game. GC: The Black Panther one did but the Iron Man one is supposedly still in development. Although nothing\u2019s ever been seen of it and it was a while ago now that it was first announced.<\/p>\n Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n The small print You can also submit your own 500 to 600-word Reader\u2019s Feature at any time via email or our Submit Stuff page<\/a>, which if used will be shown in the next available weekend slot.<\/p>\n You can also leave your comments below and don\u2019t forget to follow us on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow
So I guess with all the closures at Meta<\/a>, including all their best developers, that means that VR gaming is officially dead. It\u2019s been a zombie almost since the beginning, but Meta did put a lot of money into it and we got some great games, like Asgard\u2019s Wrath and Batman: Arkham Shadow. But there just isn\u2019t the audience and it was only a matter of time until something like this happened.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure some crusty old judge doesn\u2019t realise, but the idea of pretending that GTA 6 having 32 person online lobbies<\/a> is some massive secret that Rockstar<\/a> had no choice but to sack 30 people for is just ridiculous. I can\u2019t think of any more unimportant bit of information, that not only would you guess anyway but if you knew for a fact you wouldn\u2019t care anyway.<\/p>\n

That Monster Hunter Wilds explanation<\/a> is really shocking to me. It\u2019s not even some terrible secret about Capcom being greedy or doing something shady, it\u2019s just straight-up, ordinary stupidity.<\/p>\n

Thinking about the Warner Bros. sales trouble and the failure of Mortal Kombat 1 made me wonder what they\u2019re going to do with the next one. It\u2019s obvious it\u2019s going to be some kind of, reboot but they\u2019ve already had a bunch of those already, including Mortal Kombat 1 kind of.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThat\u2019s a lot of time spent playing games (woz _007)<\/p>\n
My most played Switch game last year was Hogwarts Legacy at 112 hours, which I thoroughly enjoyed even though I am not a Harry Potter fan.<\/p>\n

So, to respond to the question of if the upgrade to PlayStation 5 is worth it, it\u2019s been a mixed bag for me personally. I got my system on day one, so I\u2019ve had it from the minute of release day five years ago, in November. On one hand, the gaming selection has been very great for the most part. But on the other hand, it\u2019s been a lukewarm generation.<\/p>\n

PS: Finally bought Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, with all the DLC. Where will I get the time to play it? Ask me later.<\/p>\n![\"GameCentral](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SEC_278479390-558f.jpg\")

In reply to Gauntlett and his important question about Zelda, will Tingle be in the movie and who will play him?<\/p>\n

Just seen the news that Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as being in charge of Star Wars, with Dave Filoni and some suit I\u2019ve never heard of replacing them. That might not mean much to ordinary people but if you\u2019re a Star Wars fan these people are basically the Disney equivalents of George Lucas.<\/p>\n

I predict that Forza Horizon 6 is going to be one of the biggest games of the year, up there with Call Of Duty and EA Sports FC, or at least not far behind. It\u2019s going to be so weird to see Xbox have their biggest hit ever thanks to PlayStation 5.
