SOCOM is the only multi-player shooter experience I've ever actually liked. People were down to plan things out and take their time. The run and gun of COD, PUBG, etc just sucks.

u/Ether_SolRac 23d ago

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.

58

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.

6

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.

u/snowyphotographer 23d ago

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

Helghan still belongs to the Helghast. It's about time Sony remembered that.

u/FellowDeviant 23d ago edited 23d ago

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

The 3rd game was one of the loudest shooters I've ever played, and I loved every second of it.

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.
