The Friday letters page is not convinced there won’t be a GTA 6 delay after all, as one reader hypes themselves up for a Resident Evil 9 reveal.

Post-GTA 6 world
I can’t help but agree with the reader who said they miss the days when Rockstar made smaller games in-between the bigger ones. I don’t know what Rockstar has got planned for after GTA 6, but I think we can bet it’s not going to be a smaller, more experimental game. But then again, maybe it will be?
GTA 6 is going to make so much money Rockstar literally won’t know what to do with it. None of them will ever have to work again and at that point why not do something weird and unexpected? It’s basically either that or just immediately start work on Red Dead Redemption 3 (or a boring remake). I can’t imagine that prospect, of another five years of work, minimum, on a similar kind of game is going to seem all that appealing.
But what do I know about making games? I have to say I feel like I understand it less the more the years go by. Spending six or seven years, or even more, making the same game, not even knowing if it’ll turn out well sounds like it will turn you crazy. I’m sure GTA 6 will be worth the wait but it’s clearly not your average game. It must be nerve-wracking.

Trust no one
I’m not sure I particularly trust execs, especially ones at scuzzy publishers like Take-Two, when they say anything about a game’s release date. I know they’re not supposed to lie when it’s a financial thing, but they can say anything they want at this stage and if it does get delayed they can just say something changed.
I’m not saying GTA 6 will be delayed, just that this doesn’t really count as new information. The only thing that’s really going to count is what’s said in the trailers. Surely the next one must be this year and that will reveal the release date. If that doesn’t happen then I’ll definitely not believe anything Take-Two says.

Zombie addiction
I know I shouldn’t hype myself up for something that there’s no evidence for but I’m really pulling for a Resident Evil 9 reveal at The Game Awards. Since I’ve never really been a Silent Hill fan I haven’t really liked any of this year’s horror games and it seems ages since Village. Even Resident Evil 4 seems a long time ago for some reason, even though I know it’s not.
I guess that probably means I’m a Resi addict but it really is one of my favourite franchises, even if it’s not 100% reliable. I’m hoping for the return of third person and some more familiar faces. My preference would be for Jill to be the lead, as she hasn’t had a …read more
