The Thursday letters page gets ready to celebrate 17 years of Fallout<\/a> 3, as a reader lists the best music from the Metal Gear<\/a> Solid series.<\/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 Room at the top I don\u2019t believe he knows or cares a thing about games, and I\u2019m not even convinced he understand AI properly (or he wouldn\u2019t be calling it AI, for a start). He was so vague in this latest interview that \u2018new interactive media\u2019 could just mean a new game or some sort of attempt to make their own version of TikTok<\/a>. Who knows? I\u2019m not convinced he does.<\/p>\n The problem is that Microsoft<\/a> owns so many developers now that they\u2019ve got them all using AI and that\u2019s going to start seeping into our games soon. So, I hope you like your art to make no logical sense (six fingered men and impossibly angled buildings), with tons of inconsistences, and non-player characters talking nonsense because AI wrote their dialogue.<\/p>\n AI is guaranteed to make video games<\/a> worse if it\u2019s used for anything important and if Microsoft actually tries to make a whole game with it\u2026. Weirdly the Take-Two boss<\/a> seems to be the only one to understand what a bad idea that would be. Maybe he should be in charge of Xbox<\/a>.

Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.<\/p>\n I\u2019m kind of confused as to why a company like EA<\/a>, which is not connected to Microsoft, is going all in on AI but the makers of GTA 6, who surely have a lot of little boring details they could do with help on, are not. Since the Microsoft guys sounds half-crazed when he talks about AI, and the Take-Two one sounds completely sane and reasonable, I\u2019m going to assume he\u2019s right.<\/p>\n I do feel this is the calm before the storm though. Once companies start trying to make games, and ads, using AI the amount of slop is going to become unavoidable and either people are going to rebel or too many people will put up with it and we\u2019ll get nothing but it ever again. Spending a penny And the side quest stuff? So what did you want? Just an absolute plain vanilla battle royale with nothing new in it at all? I\u2019m afraid the answer to that, for most people, is that they really don\u2019t want anything out of the ordinary at all. They just want exactly what they\u2019re used to and will complain if they don\u2019t get it, even if they haven\u2019t paid a penny to play it. Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Imperfect classic I still have my original PS3 copy of the game that I purchased\u00a0new. Even though I probably\u00a0owned the worst version of the game (it kept crashing\/freezing) I thought the game was so fantastic. Fallout 3 literally ate up hours and hours while I explored the Capital Wasteland.<\/p>\n Well done Bethesda and everyone who worked on the game. What a classic. GC: Its 17th anniversary is on Friday in the UK.<\/p>\n \t\t John\u2019s addiction First thing: what is the difference between normal and fast when you\u2019re on your character select screen? Secondly, what is the advantage of completing each of the individual levels with each character? And, generally speaking, what does harvesting all the materials actually do and how does it make you better at the game? I\u2019m sure there are other questions I have so if you have any other uncertainties you can think of do let me know!<\/p>\n Otherwise thank you very much for the recommendation. It is definitely one of the most addictive games I\u2019ve played in recent times. GC: Fast mode just makes the game harder, with greater rewards. It\u2019s also tied to the shrines you can build when you beat a level for the first time. For most levels you need to complete them multiple times, with different characters, to collect all the gears need to unlock the next stage. You\u2019ll also never get all the blueprints on your first run. The materials you harvest, or collect, are used to construct the buildings described in the blueprints, which offer some very useful perks.<\/p>\n Top of the pops Metal Gear Solid 1. \u2018Enclosure\u2019 The Death of Sniper Wolf or The Death of Meryl. This song plays out when characters are about to die and have died. Great monologues from the performers. Death of Sniper Wolf helped enhance the legend of Big Boss, this scene had great character building. The scene ends with a haunting version of The Best is to Come, as Solid Snake walks into darkness.<\/p>\n Metal Gear Solid 2. \u2018Who Am I Really?\u201d This plays at the end of the game, after Raiden defeats Solidus Snake in New York. Raiden is in the streets of New York and Solid Snake meets him before he seeks a mission to find the La-li-lu-le-lo. Snake provides a great speech to Raiden about finding his own identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n Metal Gear Solid 3. \u2018Debriefing\u2019 This is when Eva double crosses you and runs off with the Philosophers Legacy at the end of the game. She made a tape for Naked Snake to listen to, and she provides a great monologue about The Boss and her legendary mission. It illustrates how much of a legend she is in that scene, as they recap earlier moments in the game.<\/p>\n Metal Gear Solid 4. \u2018Sorrow\u2019 This plays out a few times in the game, but I believe it\u2019s best used when Old Snake gets through the microwave after major button-bashing, which exhausts the player, which is how Old Snake is feeling too. It was great connecting the player with Snake. The next scene has Otacon upload GW via MKII. This creates a video where Naomi has a monologue about the destruction of the Patriots via the upload, as it creates a virus to destroy the system. She talks about how the world is free from control and Old Snake can finally create a new life for himself. The song captures the mood of struggle, relief, and emotion.<\/p>\n Metal Gear Solid 5. \u2018Behind the Mirror\u2019 This is mission 46. This is the big reveal. A great scene when Venom Snake learns the truth via cassette tape. Bloody face and looking to the mirror, it connects the series, from the MSX games to the modern. Venom Snake has a smirk and smashes the mirror. He walks into darkness as you hear gun shots from a young Solid Snake in the background, which is the link to Metal Gear MSX.<\/p>\n Honourable mentions to Portable Ops\u2019 Death of Elisa\/Ursula scene, which plays a version of \u2018Calling to the Night\u2019 and the Peace Walker scene when Big Boss and the MSF shoot down the launch of the nuke, which then plays a rendition of \u2018Heavens Divide\u2019. GC: For a second there we thought Major Button Bashing was a character name.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n War reporting Now Xbox games are on the PlayStation I can\u2019t wait for Spider-Man and God of War to come to the Xbox.<\/p>\n It won\u2019t happen though, as Sony aren\u2019t that desperate. Beyond five nights I don\u2019t really have anything else quite like it and it\u2019s a pallet cleanser for something different to the norm. Ultimately, it\u2019s fun and utilising the battery properly, and the system\u2019s power, definitely gets deeper as the nights go on; a very tactical and strategic way of using your reactions and listening skills, with the creepy audio and visuals.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s also the retro daytime hours, with the basic graphics filling in the story, to make what you\u2019re doing make more sense. The phone guy\u2019s now very iconic vocal tutorials set up the atmosphere amazingly well too. Not forgetting, of course, the now infamous animatronics, which have become dead famous characters in their own right. Scott Cawthon has definitely nailed this point \u2018n\u2019 click survival horror type of game and has done wonders in getting content creators and their fans involved.<\/p>\n As you go from one game to the next, you learn how many Easter eggs for the game\u2019s story you missed, which makes replaying games you thought you completed a must. So, it looks to me like I have only scratched the surface for Five Nights At Freddy\u2019s, coupled with the film which was another reason to play the game, so as to understand the hype and become immersed in something new and different to my usual style of gaming.<\/p>\n So I\u2019ll definitely be rewatching the original movie and well and truly looking forward to the new Five Nights film later in the year, with a heck of a lot more understanding as to why this series is so popular. Inbox also-rans Just heard that Shantae 7 is being made by WayForward! I\u2019m sure most people won\u2019t care but I love those games, although I wish they\u2019d go back to using pixel art for them.

It\u2019s worrying to think that Satya Nadella is the head of a $4 trillion company, in charge of thousands of people\u2019s jobs, and one of the most influential, and I assume richest, men in the world. And yet to hear him talk<\/a> he sounds like a clueless highschooler faking his way through a book review for something he hasn\u2019t read.<\/p>\n

I am genuinely shocked at how much sense the Take-Two boss is talking about AI. I have literally not heard a single exec anywhere who understands it like him and is willing to speak the truth.<\/p>\n

I see people complaining about Battlefield Redsec<\/a> and I\u2019m afraid I don\u2019t get it. They\u2019re upset that the skins are too unrealistic and that you have to do side quests? Really? How do they think this thing is going to be paid for? I hate to defend EA but if you\u2019re playing a really top quality game like this for absolutely nothing, not even the online access, I think the *option* for skins that are slightly out of the ordinary, but definitely not cartoon characters, is the least you can put up with.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen some posts on the Internet today celebrating\u00a0Fallout 3\u2019s birthday. I believe the game was released slightly later on in the UK.<\/p>\n

I have a few questions about Ball x Pit and I\u2019m finding the game rather unexplanatory at times.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, 1st November, is the Metal Gear in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall. In the spirit of that I thought I would name some of the best songs that created great and memorable scenes in the game. Spoilers if you haven\u2019t played the games but are planning to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so glad the Americans\u2019 GameStop and Trump have announced the console wars are over.<\/p>\n

I am thoroughly enjoying going through the Five Night at Freddy\u2019s series, as it\u2019s a nice quick game which gets you interested but in a way that appears simple, but then very addictive. Currently on the fourth game now and it is definitely something to invest in for those without so many hours to commit.<\/p>\n

2 million sales for Alan Wake 2<\/a> is tragic. I\u2019ve got serious concerns now as to whether Remedy are going to survive. I don\u2019t think any of their games have ever been big hits and it\u2019s getting worse. Max Payne was probably the biggest they ever got, so the remakes may be their last chance.
