Ultimate incentiveI’m not too surprised to find out that the Ultimate Edition of GTA 6 is the best-seller, after all that talk of the standard edition being £100, which is something I’m sure Take-Two considered. I think they definitely made the right choice by not being so greedy – and there’s not many video game companies you can say that for.
The Ultimate Edition doesn’t have anything super essential but there’s a fair amount of interesting stuff in there and £90 isn’t that much more to know you have the best version. In reality there’s no point in pre-ordering anyway, it’s all just wanting the game to feel closer than it is and kind of showing your loyalty.
I’m not talking it down, I’ve made my pre-order so I understand what it’s all about, but I do think that Take-Two definitely made the right decision by using the carrot rather than the stick. Don’t force people to spend a minimum of £100, just gently tempt them to spend an extra £20.Zeiss
Direct predictionI’d say those leaked Switch 2 console boxes are definitely real, from what I can see of them. So given the rumours and the fact that it just makes sense, I’m going to guess there’s definitely going to be a Zelda branded Switch 2 this Christmas. But when will the Direct happen?

My bet is that it’s going to be sooner rather than later. We might not have seen any raw gameplay for GTA 6 yet, but we have had two trailers. Rockstar wouldn’t show as little as Nintendo’s shown of Zelda if it was going to be out next month. I’m willing to bet a sizeable number of internet points that the Direct will be this month, for a launch in November.
What I’m not sure is whether it’ll be at Gamescom, because at the end of August that is exactly the sort of time you’d expect. But I don’t think Nintendo would want to unveil anything at a relatively minor event like that, so my prediction is… next week! If I’m right, remember you heard it here first!Gauntlett
Jawas before Jar JarYour Star Wars Zero Company was an interesting read about what sounds like a promising game. I do wonder why the game is being set in the prequel universe. Are diehard fans of the original trilogy not within the game’s target demographic?
With regards to Star Wars, I don’t mind the prequels, those films featured some good action sequences and a scattering of iconic baddies, but with respect to any new Star Wars game I’d rather have a story with the backdrop of Episodes IV, V, and VI. Give me a Jawa before you offer me Jar Jar any day of the week.
Why didn’t that Outlaws game let you play as Han Solo, then possibly it would have been a hit. Would the developers/publishers have had to pay Harrison Ford for his likeness? The latest Indiana Jones game used his likeness.Michael Veal
GC: An Andor style setting does seem the more obvious choice, but the game has a much more grounded tone than most Clone Wars media and we didn’t see or hear any mention of Gungans in it.

The right kind of friendsGlad to see Big Walk doing well, with 1 million sold already. It always seems a bit of a lottery as to whether these hyped indie games do well or not but I really like the sound of this one. I’m just worried I haven’t got enough friends to play with it.
