    Well if they’re out of original IP maybe they should, you know, CREATE some original IP. Surely there’s bound to be some creatives left in that behemoth of a company.

    I know I know, it’s a stock listed company and these just stop innovating and just buy up studios, but they could try it for once.

      I agree that they should create new IPs, but, they did just try that with Concord. So I understand why they would be gun-shy about it.

        Their user base isn’t games as a service bullshit. That stuff exists, sure, but Sony’s market share is because of their library of expansive single player experiences.

        It’s Uncharted, SpiderMan, God of War, Horizon, The Last of Us. That’s their bread and butter type of product, and that’s what they should focus on. They don’t need to chase microtransaction hell bullshit to be successful.

          I loved the uncharted games, I stopped with 3 because the other ones seemed like DLCs and half games and such so I never got around to them.

          That said they should do a game based in the 70s with Sully as the lead.

          GoW, having never played the originals, are two of the best games I have ever played. I am so jealous of younger me getting to play them for the first time.

      Let’s set up a steering committee to develop guidelines for an approval process for allocating funds to the creativity enhancement subcommittee.

        And don’t forget a subcommittee to review the recommendation to revise the color of the book those guidelines will go in.

      Or buy up some classic IPs and do some quality games with them.

      Give me a new Carmageddon.
