The Tuesday letters page remains to be convinced about Battlefield 6, as one reader tries to make sense of Sony’s attitude towards Bloodborne. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk. Four swords. OK, so who’s willing to make a bet with me on what will be the first Zelda game on Nintendo Switch 2? Seems to me there are a lot of possibilities and not a lot of ways to guess which it is. But I’m going to break it down as I see it:.
So what do you think? Even if it’s not at launch Zelda is coming, so what’s going to be first? I think I’d probably go with four, but wouldn’t be surprised at three. Hopefully we’ll find out in April!. Weakly optimistic. The new Battlefield footage looks great and all, but graphics have never been the series’ problem. It also constantly promises to have tons of destruction and then you find out that it’s all in the story campaign and there’s still not as much in-game as there was in Bad Company (which I have just looked up and is now a staggering 17 years ago).
I’ll remain optimistic but four developers working on the same game already sounds like too many cooks spoiling the broth. Not to mention having the guy that invited Call Of Duty in charge seems… weird. I also don’t like the idea that the game being good hinges on them testing it with a gazillion people first. I’d have more confidence in a developer that knew whether the game they were making was any good or not without having to ask someone else first.
Forgotten classic. Sony’s attitude to Bloodborne is just so baffling to me. With the time and money they wasted banning a four year old fan patch they could’ve just released an official one. I mean, it’s only five years overdue at this point. Why won’t they do it? There’s no theory that makes any sense. At some point I assume they’ll announce a remake or sequel and I assume this is in some way a prelude to that (can’t sell a remake if a free update makes it not so appealing!) but there’s not a clue as to when something is going to happen. It really makes me think less of Sony to be honest. They’ve got this amazing game and they’re letting it be forgotten, where most casual gamers probably have no idea it even exists.

I love how if you watch the video of that ex-Sony guy, when he’s talking about Microsoft being like Sega, he’s trying not to smile. He knew what he was saying, even if Sega are an obvious comparison to make. I can’t imagine anyone aspires to being Sega though, especially not Microsoft. Although the two do have a long history. Microsoft were going to buy them at one point early on and always looked to them as inspiration in the early days – that’s why their X/Y and A/B buttons are the wrong way round.
I could make an obvious joke about how Microsoft took a bit too much inspiration, in terms of the constant mistakes and slip-ups but I’m going to assume that with $3 trillion more in the bank than Sega, the future prospects of Xbox are somewhat rosier. 84Colbat. Third party software. Sorry if GameCentral or a reader has already mentioned this but the Epic Games Store app is available on Android and iOS tablets/mobiles now and they are giving away free games each week on mobile and PC on a Thursday. They have two games free on mobile currently: Bloons TD 6 and Dungeon Of The Endless. You can use the same account on PC on your mobile to download the games.
Epic Games Store is classed as a third party app on Android so you have to allow it when you try to install the app on your Android mobile/tablet. Here’s the link for the Epic Games Store mobile app. Andrew J. Currently playing: Kona (PS5). Console comparisons. Naturally, I’m hoping that there will be a Sony State of Play this month, but I’ve given up trying to guess what will be in it. What I wonder though is what Sony must be thinking about the Nintendo Switch 2 coming up and how they’re going to work around that.
The two big things this year are Switch 2 and GTA 6 and if Switch 2 is launching in June I think that’s a clear sign Nintendo don’t want the two things happening at the same time. That would seem to leave Sony out in the cold, but I do think the chances of a marketing campaign with Rockstar, possibly involving the PS5 Pro is very likely. I’m sure that’s good for Sony but it could mean another lean year for first party games. Because, let’s face it, if you’ve GTA 6 in your pocket you don’t need anything else. I can’t believe that the last time Sony had dominance like this it was with the PlayStation 2 and look at the difference in games output between those two consoles….
