The Monday letters page hopes for some Star Wars<\/a> Day reveals, as a reader shares footage of a cancelled third Maximo game.<\/p>\n Games Inbox<\/a> is a collection of our readers\u2019 letters, comments, and opinions.

So imagine my shock that when I looked up the release date it did come out in the summer in Japan and the US but didn\u2019t make it to Europe until October!<\/p>\n Maybe I only played it the next summer, but I don\u2019t think so. I think I got it when it came out and it was so bright and sunny, with its beaches and water pistol backpack, that I just associate it with summer and holidays. I actually think that\u2019s kind of neat.

Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve really enjoyed the last two games, even if I don\u2019t really like the grey Jedi theme going on with Cal. I feel the movies made it very clear that \u2018once you start down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny\u2019, so the idea of switching it on when you get to a hard part seems wrong to me.<\/p>\n But I guess that\u2019s the problem with Star Wars nowadays, everyone has their own view of it and there\u2019s no way everything, or maybe even anything, is going to match up with that. GC: There is no Star Wars Celebration this year so it\u2019s not impossible there could be some kind of annoucement today, although something at Summer Game Fest is more likely.<\/p>\n Bored of the Rings I\u2019d much rather see them make something new. Whether it\u2019s a new historical setting or something completely different I\u2019m not bothered, but Kingdom Come was great at ignoring what other companies were doing and going with what the developers were passionate about. As much as I love Lord of the Rings that\u2019s what we need more of, not more licensed games. Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Aging gracelessly I know remasters of such old, UK-centric games are unlikely but as good as The Great Escape and Head Over Heels seemed to anyone at the time I just don\u2019t think they can entertain anyone new nowadays, and I can tell you I\u2019ve tried with my kids.<\/p>\n You could say the same for NES games but of course they get constant remasters and remakes to keep them playable. Maybe there\u2019s something that can be done as a fan project or a Kickstarter but I think the more likely option is that these games will just fade from memory and never be played again, at least within the next decade or so. \t\t\t\tDon’t miss Gaming news!

This is set in Raccoon City, before it gets nuked, and not once has it ever been portrayed as snowing during that time. I don\u2019t think it was ever implied to be winter and I seem to remember everyone having light clothing. Heck, Jill was wearing a boob tube in Resident Evil 3!<\/p>\n Some details like that do annoy me for some reason, as it doesn\u2019t seem to add anything and yet it makes it clear that they don\u2019t care about directly contradicting the games. Exclusive U-turn The weird thing is it kind of worked. I don\u2019t know that any normal person really believed it, but all of a sudden Sony were releasing games on PC and Switch, despite the obvious dangers of undermining the PlayStation and the fact that they weren\u2019t very good ports and were making Sony look bad.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time they\u2019ve done this though. I\u2019ve never understood why they gave in and allowed console cross-play. I don\u2019t really play multiplayer, so I don\u2019t care either way, but why treat Xbox as an equal when before they were forcing people to make a choice.<\/p>\n I\u2019m more than prepared to accept I\u2019m wrong for some kind of business reason but here we are and they\u2019re reversing the exclusive policy, or at least that\u2019s what all the rumours say.<\/p>\n It seems to have taken them a very long time to realise what everyone else knew before they even started, wasting who knows how much time and money in the meantime. Seems about typical for this generation. The kids are alright It\u2019s not quite NFT levels but there does seem to be a turn against AI in games, that pleases me greatly. Just like NFT we can make a stand and stop companies from using it, if we just close our wallets to them. This is going to be a tougher fight, but I feel we can still win it. Join the queue I first played Ghosts To Glory digitally on PlayStation 3, which nowadays is only a slightly less archaic means than plugging in a PlayStation 2, and it quickly became one of my favourites alongside Contra: Shattered Soldier (I like hard games).<\/p>\n As Terry pointed out, there was a sequel, the Army Of Zin, which sadly toned down the intricate level design and difficulty to focus more on combat.<\/p>\n There was also plans for a third game, footage of which you can see here, but sadly it was cancelled due to poor sales of Army Of Zin and poor everything from Capcom Studio 8\u2019s next and final game, Final Fight Streetwise.<\/p>\n After all these years I\u2019m quietly optimistic we could get a new Maximo, considering Capcom\u2019s can\u2019t miss, fan-pleasing form of late. Although they haven\u2019t made any new Dino Crisis and that seems like a no-brainer. GC: Like you, we\u2019d assume Dino Crisis is next in line but after that we\u2019d think there\u2019s a reasonable chance of some kind of new Ghosts \u2018N Goblins game.<\/p>\n Inbox also-rans After reading that Aphelion review<\/a> I\u2019ve got to wonder how long has it been since Don\u2019t Nod had a hit? Maybe Square Enix can get them in to try and revive Life Is Strange but if not I\u2019m not sure they\u2019re going to last long.

Every December we get people talking about what games they think best celebrate the season, and it\u2019s always Christmas NiGHTS or something, but what about the game that\u2019s best to play when the weather<\/a> is good?<\/p>\n
Primer<\/p>\n
Happy Star Wars Day<\/a>, everyone (assuming this gets shown on Monday). I\u2019m hoping we might get a tease of Star Wars Jedi 3<\/a> today, as I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a Star Wars Celebration until next year now. Not sure how likely that is but it seems a long time since the last one, even if they were set back by the director leaving.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how I feel about Warhorse maybe working on a new Lord of the Rings game<\/a>. Although I would like to see a big budget role-playing game<\/a>, I don\u2019t know that Warhorse are quite big enough to do it the way I imagine. The scale would have to be a lot bigger than Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and that\u2019s going to cost so much I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s feasible for anyone.<\/p>\n

I really like the look of those Commodore 64 and Spectrum portables<\/a>, but I feel like we\u2019re dancing round the problem at the moment. It\u2019s all very easy to recreate the hardware \u2013 you could just run it as an emulator on any PC or phone<\/a> \u2013 but the games themselves are in need of a major update.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tGameCentral has been delivering unique games news and reviews for over a decade<\/p>\n
In terms of the debate over the new Resident Evil movie trailer<\/a> I\u2019m happy for it to ignore the characters and even monsters, to a degree, as what works in a game does not necessarily work in a movie, as we\u2019ve seen multiple times with Resident Evil itself.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s obvious that Microsoft<\/a>\u2019s campaign against exclusives<\/a> was not coming from an honest place. On one hand it was coming from Satya Nadella, who doesn\u2019t understand games and doesn\u2019t like the concept of exclusives. But most of it was coming from Xbox in general realising they didn\u2019t have any exclusives anyone cared about so the obvious thing to do was try and pretend exclusives were anti-consumer and shame Sony for having them.<\/p>\n
Focus<\/p>\n
I am actually very surprised that Roblox fans have turned against the new AI graphics mode<\/a>. It\u2019s probably only a vocal minority but well done to those kids.<\/p>\n

Nice to see a call for a new Maximo from Terry Gold this weekend<\/a>, there are dozens of us!<\/p>\n

At this point I\u2019d settle for a low budget XCOM 3<\/a> but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen. I hate to say it but I think 2K has bigger fish to fry.
