Sony should purchase Bluepoint. These guys are very talented. Shadow of the Colossus remake was amazing.

Araragifeels 2654d ago

PlayStation should invest in buying or creating more studio since they mentioned that they going to completely focus on First Party Games. PlayStation should buy Bluepoint, and Quantic Dream.

Mr Pumblechook2653d ago

If the next game is not for Sony then perhaps Metal Gear Solid?

SuperSonic912653d ago

There are tons of great PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3 games that need remakes and remasters. They super passionate and detail oriented bunch. Very careful also.

ABizzel12653d ago

Legend of Dragoon Remake
Warhawk (PS3) Remake
Okami (would have been great with next-gen graphics, if it wasn’t remade so many times)
There could be a lot more, but those top 2 would be the best IMO.

-Foxtrot2653d ago

Yeah it would be nice to have a studio to remake old games

Let’s say you plan to bring out a new Legend of Dragoon game, you could get these guys to make a remake of the original then a year later the sequel comes out.

You gain interest by making the old games relevant by a remake

Croc, Gex, Tomba, Dark Cloud, Pandemonium, Syphon Filter even games like Bugs Bunny Lost in Time

-Gespenst-2653d ago

I'd love if they remade Tomba for the reason you mentioned, i.e. it could create interest for a new Tomba game. One of my faves of all time. I wonder how good a remake would be though. I'd be kind of peeved if they ditched the sprites for 3D models.

ColonelHugh2653d ago

Tomba would be so cathartic for me

SuperSonic912653d ago

Tomba is Jim Sterling's favorite game of all time. Now I am interested. Thanks for mentioning it, Fox I will get it on PS3.

Christopher2653d ago (Edited 2653d ago )

No. Bluepoint would lose tremendous market value if they only remade a single console's games.

And who didn't think their next game would be a remake? That's what they excel at.

"Shadow of the Colossus remake was amazing."
IS! I think you meant, Shadow of the Colossus remake IS amazing.

I really hope their next remake is ICO.

Araragifeels 2654d ago

I am hoping is Jak & Daxter or Sly Cooper.

nitus102653d ago

There is already a Jak & Dexter collection (four games) available for the PS4.

Grimwood2653d ago

WHO THE F GIVES A SHIT ABOUT A GAME like Jak & daxter. Ico, and nothing else. Then we got the two masterpieces of that time, and we can concentrate on masterpieces today.

_-EDMIX-_2654d ago

Agreed I'm really hoping that's the path they go down

SuperSonic912653d ago (Edited 2653d ago )

I pray that it will be ICO so that my Team Ico games collection will be conplete on PS4.

Also the said game is "art focused and art heavy" and only Ico rings that bell for me.

SuperSonic912654d ago

Same here coz Ico is the sequel to SOTC story wise

The_Sage2653d ago

I'm not so sure about that.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

It could be that the first boy born with horns was the rebirth of wanderer, but in Ico they were talking about kids born in the village with horns were taken to the abandoned castle because they were caused. My own fan fiction says that the wanderer born in the forbidden lands with horns went to the village, and lived out his life. After generations the village was in turmoil and they pointed to his arrival as to where things went bad. After that they deemed children born with horns cursed.

BlaqMagiq12653d ago

Ico is a prequel to SOTC.

SuperSonic912653d ago

The story of Ico happened hundreds of years after Wander's story.

_-EDMIX-_2654d ago

But it would be absolutely crazy

porkChop2653d ago

I cannot understand why Sony hasn't either remade LOD or rebooted it. It just doesn't make sense. They have a JRPG-style IP just sitting there, waiting to be used.

_-EDMIX-_2653d ago

I know right maybe it's because only a lot of us older Gamers remember that game.

But the way I see it is if PaRappa the Rapper can get a remaster and we're getting one of medieval there's still hope.

I mean we're getting Final Fantasy 7 in Resident Evil 2 remade for god sakes so the fact that something like that or shenmue 3 exist gives me hope lol

1-pwnsause-12653d ago

I was gonna say the same thing, LoD was amazing...

BlahBlahWhatever2653d ago

If indeed LoD is their next project it would be SUPER-AMAZING! & it would make me a very happy man ^__^

G3ng4r2652d ago

It really wasn't that great but enough people think they want it that it may as well become a thing and do poorly again. Shame that ffvii remake is now in development hell.

thorstein2651d ago

SUPER AMAZING is two words. Two. Why would you hyphenate it? And no period at the end of your sentence? WTF?

G3ng4r2653d ago

Nostalgia goggles. Game was considered mediocre even back then. I played legend of dragoon before ffvii or ix so I though it was pretty decent at first, loved moments like finishing the green mantis dragon. The first time through ffvii though made me see how bland, boring and devoid of any charm the story and all characters were. Battle system was also pretty bad, matching up the ball or whatever within lines on the screen every time you wanted to attack. There are much better jrpg's to hope for.

Only if there is no plan for Bloodborne 2.

@ILostMyMind
I'll agree 100% with that lol.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga1d 3h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis00719h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein1d 1h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

How about an official level editor for Boltgun?

I’ll get Space Marine 2 when it’s cheaper. I don’t pay more than half price for short games.

Inside the ‘Dragon Age’ Debacle That Gutted EA’s BioWare Studio

The latest game in BioWare’s fantasy role-playing series went through ten years of development turmoil

In early November, on the eve of the crucial holiday shopping season, staffers at the video-game studio BioWare were feeling optimistic. After an excruciating development cycle, they had finally released their latest game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and the early reception was largely positive. The role-playing game was topping sales charts on Steam, and solid, if not spectacular, reviews were rolling in.

HyperMoused4d ago

Its easy they called the die hard fans people in their nerd caves who will buy anything and then went woke to reach modern audiences....insulting the nerds in their caves along the way showing utter contempt for their fan base. very hapy it failed and any company who insults their fan base and treat their customers with contempt and insults, in future, i also hope fail.

neutralgamer19924d ago

It’s disappointing but not surprising to see what's happening with Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the broader situation at BioWare. The layoffs are tragic — no one wants to see talented developers lose their jobs. But when studios repeatedly create games that alienate their own fanbase, outcomes like this become unfortunately predictable.

There’s a pattern we’re seeing far too often: beloved franchises are revived, only to be reshaped into something almost unrecognizable. Changes are made that no one asked for, often at the expense of what originally made these games special. Then, when long-time fans express concern or lose interest, they’re told, “This game might not be for you.” But when those same fans heed that advice and don’t buy the game, suddenly they're labeled as toxic, sexist, bigoted, or worse.

Let’s be clear: the overwhelming majority of gamers have no issue with diversity, LGBTQ+ representation, or strong female leads. In fact, some of the most iconic characters in gaming — like Aloy, Ellie, or FemShep — are proof that inclusivity and excellent storytelling can and do go hand in hand. The issue arises when diversity feels performative, forced, or disconnected from the narrative — when characters or themes are inserted not to serve the story, but to satisfy a corporate DEI checklist. Audiences can tell the difference.

When studios chase approval from a vocal minority that often doesn’t even buy games — while simultaneously dismissing loyal fans who actually do — they risk not just the success of individual titles, but the health of their entire studio. Telling your core customers “don’t buy it if you don’t like it” is not a viable business strategy. Because guess what? Many of us won’t. And when the game fails commercially, blaming those very fans for not supporting it is both unfair and self-defeating.

Gamers aren’t asking for less diversity or less progress. We’re asking for better writing, thoughtful character development, and a respect for the franchises we’ve supported for decades. When you give people great games that speak to them — whether they’re old fans or new players — they will show up. But if you keep making games for people who don’t play them, don’t be surprised when those who do stop showing up

Armaggedon3d ago

I thought the writing and character development were fine. Sometimes things just dont resonate with people.
