Infamous, the right-hand image here was great. Totally original superhero game from before there were many good ones. I’d love a new one.
Imagine Insomniac making a new Infamous.
I’m sure they’d do great, but Suckerpunch did make Ghost of Tsushima, and that was also great. I’d prefer the creators take another shot. Maybe make it more of an RPG like GoT.
Ah yes. If there’s one thing that the Playstation has been known for over the years, it’s been a very narrow selection of games to draw from.
Weird coming from the company that deliberately stop selling to 170 countries for unknown reasons.
BRING BACK JET MOTO
in keeping with the all caps sentiment
FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
I will go all in on a case of Mt Mist (balling on a budget) and plastic, bulk sack of fritos twists if that happened. My boy and I still load up Jet Moto 2 for a few races a couple times a year.
*cough* EverQuest Next *cough*
Bull (pause for emphasis) shit.
It’s got 30 god damned years to draw on. Properties that longtime fans have been begging for for literal decades.
A quarter century of neglected IP. Just pick some. And make them.
Of course we all know the real problem. Those old IP can’t or won’t work as an always online live service. So they won’t make quintillions of dollars a year. They’d make some money if they’re made true to the original vision. But the goal isn’t to make some money. It needs to make all the money. It needs to be a killer app. An Overwatch killer or Fortnite killer. Can’t ever be happy to just make money. Staying in the black isn’t good enough.
I hope every release goes full Concord until they learn their lesson.
That’s a good metric to normalize.
The next Concord.
They won’t. Line goes up in perpetuity doesn’t align with reality, just their dreams.
Company leadership is fucking blind then
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.
Capitalist want more capital.
They need NEW IP so that they can be made unburdened by the past experiences of a game industry that respected players even a little.
I mean come on a blood Bourne live service gatcha game would be ridiculed, so need a new IP with its own hype for a live service gatcha game.
Bring back resistance!
Killzone as well
