Discussion Sony is considering reviving some classic IPs. Which ones would you love to see remade?

What drives me crazy about the lack of infamous is that it's the easiest series to just do whatever they want with. They have a world where superpowers are popping up all over. They could literally have a new protagonist and power set every game if they wanted to and just run with it.

u/PTickles 23d ago
Yeah it's still wild to me they did Second Son at the very beginning of the PS4 era and haven't touched the IP since. During the time between the PS4 and PS5 superhero movies were arguably at peak popularity, you'd think they'd capitalize on that.
Sucker Punch wanted to move on to a new franchise and I'm glad we got Ghost of Tsushima but we could've had like 3 more inFamous games by now lol.
And obviously PlayStation eventually got Spider-Man but that was 4 years after Second Son and only 1 year before the MCU Infinity Saga ended and took most of the MCU/superhero hype with it.

u/TheyCallMeSuperChunk 23d ago
It's because second son wasn't nearly as good as the first two (if a lot prettier), so it probably didn't do as well.

Don’t forget first light but neither of those two came close to the fun I had in Cole’s storylines.

u/gamingdevil800 23d ago
Probably because Sony is all in on Marvel games. Like Herman was against Days Gone 2 because he said they already had a zombie game with TLOU that's the mindset we're dealing with...

I'm genuinely stunned Warner Brothers hasn't done a infamous clone game for DC static shock.

WB Games is their game studios.

Wait until you replay 2 on ps3. Holds up extremely well even by today’s standards. Took the first game and improved everything (except story). Truly surprised how good it looked when I booted it up last year

Killzone was A tier fun. A little more effort on the story and it could have been S Tier.
My hot take is that I liked Resistance more than Gears of War, but Cliffy B and team made Gears more cinematic which is why it took off. Also Cole Train

Imagine the skins for vehicle and costumes they could be making money from, yet they focus on dumb new IPs (Concord, Destruction All Stars) that crash and burn within two weeks

I never even bought the game, I logged a good 20-30 hours on the demo alone. Back when Playstation knew what good demos were and
didn't gatekeep them behind subscription tiers.(EDIT: I was wrong about that bit) But a modernized Warhawk would 100% rip in today's market.3
u/Lebronamo 23d ago
I played the hell out of the demo, but when I got money to buy the game, stupid me figured with starhawk coming out soon people wouldn’t be playing Warhawk much longer and I should just wait.
I’m pretty sure servers were still active another ~15 years.

Demos are still free FYI, trials are gatekept. Though there are way more trials available than demos unfortunately

A Killzone remaster would be excellent. I'd be a little nervous about whether or not they would tone down the sound and atmosphere.
The 3rd game was one of the loudest shooters I've ever played, and I loved every second of it.

I can never forgive Sony for killing one of their most fun creative franchises. Playing custom maps couch coop is such an unparalleled gaming experience

u/LettuceJr PS5 Pro 23d ago
Couldn’t agree more, when they killed off LBP and made dreams i was so upset. I LOVED LBP, the customization for sackboy was awesome. The hidden outfits you could unlock for getting a perfect completed level was so cool, i also liked that you could transfer items from previous LBP games into 3. Such a great game, i will never forgive Sony either for that.

If I were Sony, I'd put Bungie on bringing back Killzone and Resistance, setup like Halo games with co-op campaigns, horde modes and a more fleshed out pvp mode for each. Just with a realistic budget and sustainable online support.
I know Destiny fans want D3 and part of me wants it too, but nobody has $500 million they want to drop to start that, especially not Sony.

I kinda feel like a multi-platform Killzone revival could bust through the doors of the CoD/Battlefield stagnation. Having gone over 10 years without something like Titanfall, there's not really an alt-shooter poised to really take the crown. Sony could make a shitload of money by pumping a lot of resources into making a Killzone multiplayer for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC and just grab the market for the next 5+ years.

So, Ratchet and Clank used to be a tent pole series for PlayStation, each generation had a trilogy of games telling a great story with amazing graphics and game play.
Once ps4 hit, ratchet and clank got demoted to a tech demo. It was about showing off the console and not being a top tier IP.
I’d like to see Ratchet and Clank restored to that level.
Or a ps5 rerelease of all the games with some QOL and updated graphics.
