 The Friday letters page doesn't think any survival horror game can be a major hit, as another reader feels apathetic about Spider-Man 2. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk Expected revelation So, no surprise that the rumours about Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 were true. I don't think I've ever seen a leak for that or Fortnite that didn't pan out to be true, I guess because most of it is datamined. Based on what Activision said, it's so obvious this 'game' is just DLC sold at full price and that is outrageous. I'm sure the campaign is probably pretty good, because that's all it was originally, but what about the rest of it? Zombies mode just sounds like the same old thing with a big new map, while multiplayer is almost nothing new at all – just remakes of a bunch of Modern Warfare 2 maps. It's so easy to imagine how all this came about, as Activision ordered it turned into a full game and the poor developer had to work out what they could do in time, which I guess was just remakes and a promise of proper new maps sometime next year. As far as I'm concerned, it's a complete rip-off and I think I'll lose faith in humanity if it doesn't at least end up selling considerably less than the last game. I certainly won't buy it, I'll just read the plot summary on Wikipedia afterwards. JoeJoe The definition of insanity Good to see that Remedy have seen sense and have delayed Alan Wake 2, although I'm still not convinced either it or Alone In the Dark are going to sell all that well. I'll be getting both, day one, because I love the genre but I don't think there's nearly enough ordinary people that do, to make either of them a hit let alone both at the same time. Time and time again we see that survival horror doesn't sell. Resident Evil is the only exception, but it still doesn't do that well, compared to a really big hit, and it's half action anyway.
