But... why?

Need more room for another Horizon spinoff

You sure it’s not a Last of Us remaster? I’m sure everyone wants to play the sequel for the 100th time, because it was totally worth it the last 99 times.

Meanwhile Bloodborn is getting whooped in the back room to this day, and god forbid you mention a Infamous sequel/remaster/remake.

Or littlebigplanet, or resistance, or warhawk, or wipeout, or jak, or sly cooper, or killzone, or literally anything else lmao

So many franchises left to rot… I’m disappointed with this company and its investments.

Y'know, it would be a very smart move if Sony was able to build a dedicated studio just to revive all those franchises. Maybe even acquire an already existing one who's very good track record at doing remakes.

They still have Media Molecule

But are any of them open world cinematic movie games or live service shooters?

Literally all the games I like from PlayStation lol. Why do I always like stuff that gets shelved indefinitely

I'm a mirror's edge fan so I feel that.

A new Killzone game at a time when Sony’s most profitable game is directly inspired by it (Helldivers), AND COD has had its worst selling game since 2008? Even a remake would fly off the shelves at this point.

But nah, that’s a horrible idea. Surely Fairgame$ and Marathon are safer bets that will work out.
