I remember when they had the <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/grand-theft-auto-v\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GTA 5<\/a> trailers they had a voiceover describing all the features, but we never got that this time. So does that mean there could still be features we are unaware of?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since they confirmed there were two playable characters I\u2019ve felt that a co-op mode seemed like a shoe-in. But they haven\u2019t said the game\u2019s got one and there\u2019s been no rumours either. I realise that split-screen is probably technically impossible (but wouldn\u2019t that be great?) but is it just as impossible that we\u2019d get online co-op?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, that would be a dream feature for GTA 6 and since you have plenty of people running around in GTA Online at the same time I don\u2019t see why it wouldn\u2019t be possible. Heck, retrofit GTA 5 to have three-play co-op if you can!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point I think I\u2019ve got to accept it\u2019s not going to happen at launch, but I hope that they can maybe add it later via DLC or some kind of separate mode.<br \/>Montara<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tExpert, exclusive gaming analysis\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sign up to the <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/newsletters\/game-central\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GameCentral newsletter<\/a> for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more.

However, for anyone who was there nearly 30 years ago(!), faded memories will probably come out and the story will be completed quite quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019d be amazing if they made a new Master Quest for veterans. Even better would be some kind of score attack or time attack modes that is unlocked when you complete the story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many fish can you catch in X amount of time?

It is only another puzzle block game with a slightly different element, so it is not going to pull up any trees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet it is a fun take on the genre and features (apparently) a lot of different characters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astro Boy was the only one I knew and I was familiar with the game and character from The Binding Of Issac. At \u00a31.79, it will keep you entertained until payday my fellow gamers.<br \/>freeway 77<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resident critic<br \/>I saw the latest attempt to turn a video game series into a movie. I thought it was OK. Quite entertaining. I think the best thing to do when watching this film is to try and forget Zach Cregger was involved because I thought, with respect to its script and story, <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/resident-evil\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Resident Evil<\/a> 2026 wasn\u2019t really fit to lick the bootlaces of either Barbarian or Weapons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were some nice inclusions from the games, and I guess it was fun spotting those, but I sort of expected something better. There were a few well directed action sequences too. Overall, the monsters and the wintery setting sort of made me think I was watching a slightly fumbled reimagining of John Carpenter\u2019s The Thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe I was expecting too much. Perhaps my admiration for Barbarian and Weapons prejudiced my judgement. For me, the first Silent Hill film remains the best video game movie. After so many misfires you have to wonder why film studios meddle with game franchises at all. These films must be an easy sell since they have a ready made audience of video game players, like me.<br \/>Michael Veal<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GC: It\u2019s already the highest grossing entry in the film franchise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Single wish<br \/>I can see how GTA Online was always going to be Rockstar\u2019s priority, given how much money it makes, but I would\u2019ve hoped that with everything they were making off it they could\u2019ve pumped some of the money into single-player DLC, whether it was <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/09\/18\/gta-5-going-get-liberty-city-dlc-leak-reveals-early-version-gta-6-29633065\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liberty City<\/a> or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess you\u2019ve got the problem of having to take people away from working on GTA Online updates. But when you\u2019re making more money than you can count surely you can hire a few more people? Obviously, that\u2019s not how they thought of it though, since it never happens, but I hope GTA 6 isn\u2019t going to be one and done in terms of single-player content<br \/>Cambo<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tDon&#8217;t miss Gaming news!

I haven\u2019t seen it yet, as I type this, but I will this weekend and I can\u2019t wait, especially as I loved Barbarian and Weapons. It was a surprise Zach Cregger would make an adaptation after his previous two original films did so well but it\u2019s great to know he did it because he\u2019s a fan of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Games have been around for so long now that any movie director that isn\u2019t old school grew up with them. I think that\u2019s what will lead to some truly great adaptions. It makes me wonder what could be done with Mario, and especially Zelda, if it was put in the hands of people that love the games and know how to make a movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t think games will ever be taking over from comic books as the hot thing to base a movie on but I do think we are reaching a new level where you can make the movies work without having to cheat with something that was 90% story already, like The Last Of Us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They should get back into making films of action games. Things like Doom, Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden. They\u2019re dumb games, in terms of the plot, but so is Resident Evil. Given them proper characters and plots is what the movie would be for. That way you\u2019re actually getting something useful out of it, that can then feed back to improve the games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not sure Hollywood thinks about it that deeply, but that\u2019s my idea. Whatever happens, Capcom is definitely going to be hot for a while. So maybe the Dino Crisis comeback will be via movies rather than games!<br \/>Lovitz<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inbox also-rans<br \/>Just noticed in the end credits for Star Fox on Switch 2 that the soundtrack was performed by a full live orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London! How cool is that?<br \/>Tim Keeling<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although I\u2019m glad that the rumours of a Super Metroid remake don\u2019t seem to be true I wonder where they came from? They\u2019re very specific and I don\u2019t see any way you could mistake Metroid Ravenous for Super Metroid. Hopefully Nintendo just realised it was a bad idea and that was the end of it.<br \/>Jonesy<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email your comments to: <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/09\/21\/games-inbox-will-gta-6-a-co-op-mode-29638246\/mailto:gamecentral@metro.co.uk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gamecentral@metro.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small print<br \/>New Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
