The Monday letters page hopes that GTA 6 will get an online co-op option, as one reader looks forward to Dino Crisis: The Movie.

So everyone’s busy looking forward to GTA 6 but I’m still a little put out that despite 25 minutes of gameplay footage they still didn’t show anything that was really new. I remember when they had the GTA 5 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?

Ever since they confirmed there were two playable characters I’ve felt that a co-op mode seemed like a shoe-in. But they haven’t said the game’s got one and there’s been no rumours either. I realise that split-screen is probably technically impossible (but wouldn’t that be great?) but is it just as impossible that we’d get online co-op?

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’t see why it wouldn’t be possible. Heck, retrofit GTA 5 to have three-play co-op if you can!

At this point I think I’ve got to accept it’s not going to happen at launch, but I hope that they can maybe add it later via DLC or some kind of separate mode.

Zelda achievements
So far, the Zelda: Ocarina Of Time remake appears to be a faithful recreation of the original and my nostalgia level is already hitting the roof. However, for anyone who was there nearly 30 years ago(!), faded memories will probably come out and the story will be completed quite quickly.

It’d 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.

How many fish can you catch in X amount of time? How quickly can you complete this horse-riding obstacle course around Hyrule Field? The Zelda titles have always had minigames within the game world but a dedicated mode with online leaderboards would be the icing on the already eagerly awaited cake.

Fortnite forest
Finally! Some good news from the world of computer games. Tim Sweeney, the founder of free-to-play Fortnite, has spent around £150 million in buying forests so that they won’t be demolished and turned into rich peoples’ housing developments and unnecessary golf courses.

It’s good to know that customers’ money has helped gone to a really good cause.

And now knowing this, even though it won’t really help, I’m off to spend a(nother) small fortune on V-Bucks.

Lost battle
After reading Woodstain’s bit on Sunday, about how much he respects gamers standing up to Sony, got me thinking how there is a chance of changing Sony’s mind. Asking gamers to stay off their PlayStation four weeks on end will never work. Sony knows sooner or later you will turn on to hear the beep.

The only way you have a chance of changing Sony’s mind is buying their games physical. Only if you can get enough players buying the game on disc it might make Sony realise people want to own their games and not rent them.

GC: There is no chance of them changing their mind. The best you can hope for is Sony giving permission for other companies to manufacture discs for the PlayStation 5, but there’s been no sign of that.

Payday special
With payday being more than a week away for most of us who get paid monthly, may I suggest Crystal Crisis on the Nintendo Switch e Shop. It is only another puzzle block game with a slightly different element, so it is not going to pull up any trees.

Yet it is a fun take on the genre and features (apparently) a lot of different characters.

Astro Boy was the only one I knew and I was familiar with the game and character from The Binding Of Issac. At £1.79, it will keep you entertained until payday my fellow gamers.

Resident critic
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, Resident Evil 2026 wasn’t really fit to lick the bootlaces of either Barbarian or Weapons.

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’s The Thing.

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.

GC: It’s already the highest grossing entry in the film franchise.

Single wish
I can see how GTA Online was always going to be Rockstar’s priority, given how much money it makes, but I would’ve hoped that with everything they were making off it they could’ve pumped some of the money into single-player DLC, whether it was Liberty City or not.

I guess you’ve got the problem of having to take people away from working on GTA Online updates. But when you’re making more money than you can count surely you can hire a few more people? Obviously, that’s not how they thought of it though, since it never happens, but I hope GTA 6 isn’t going to be one and done in terms of single-player content

Action cinema
I’m so excited by the fact that the new Resident Evil movie is reviewing so well. I haven’t seen it yet, as I type this, but I will this weekend and I can’t 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’s great to know he did it because he’s a fan of the series.

Games have been around for so long now that any movie director that isn’t old school grew up with them. I think that’s 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.

I don’t 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.

They should get back into making films of action games. Things like Doom, Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden. They’re 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’re actually getting something useful out of it, that can then feed back to improve the games.

I’m not sure Hollywood thinks about it that deeply, but that’s 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!

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?

Although I’m glad that the rumours of a Super Metroid remake don’t seem to be true I wonder where they came from? They’re very specific and I don’t 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.
