Bluepoint's next game is another remake

Bluepoint Games has confirmed that its next project in the wake of the stunning Shadow of the Colossus for PlayStation 4 is a new remake. Digital Foundry had the opportunity to talk with the team about the technology powering its latest release, and asked whether the expanded art team brought on for the project would be deployed next on an original game.

[DarkVoyager]

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

[Araragifeels]

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 Pumblechook]

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

[SuperSonic91]

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.

[ABizzel1]

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.

[-Foxtrot]

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-]

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.

[ColonelHugh]

Tomba would be so cathartic for me

[SuperSonic91]

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.

[Christopher]

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.

[Elimin8]

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

[DarkOcelet]

I really hope their next remake is ICO.

[Araragifeels]

I am hoping is Jak & Daxter or Sly Cooper.

[nitus10]

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

[Grimwood]

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-_]

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

[SuperSonic91]

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.

[SuperSonic91]

Same here coz Ico is the sequel to SOTC story wise

[The_Sage]

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.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Ico is a prequel to SOTC.

[SuperSonic91]

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

[Omegasyde]

SOCOM 2

[Godchild1020]

I hope it's The Legend of Dragoon.

[The_Sage]

Hell yeah, Dark!

[notachance]

it's demon souls remake from what I hear

[FallenAngel1984]

Wonder what it could be

[SuperSonic91]

I thought you wtote "Wander"

[PurplePeopleEaters]

Should be Legend of Dragoon...

[_-EDMIX-_]

But it would be absolutely crazy

[porkChop]

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-_]

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-1]

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

[BlahBlahWhatever]

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

[G3ng4r]

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.

[thorstein]

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

[ThatGuyDart]

Tell me about it....

[G3ng4r]

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.

[Yourmommasaid]

YES!

[dp277407]

Demon Souls

[ILostMyMind]

Only if there is no plan for Bloodborne 2.

[dp277407]

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

[_-EDMIX-_]

The work they did for the Uncharted collection and the Metal Gear Solid collection is just legendary that is the type of quality that should be standard in regards to transition jobs.
I definitely think Sony should purchase this team if they intend on making a few remakes every generation.

[Majin-vegeta]

All signs point to Demons souls.But i hope it's resistance to draw attention to the series or legend if dragoon

[DarkVoyager]

I agree with Resistance. It was a great game.

Resistance would look amazing running on the Bluepoint engine. Shadow of the Colossus was one of if not the best looking games I’ve ever seen on PS4.

[AnubisG]

What signs?

[SuperSonic91]

Good point on Resistance too

[ginsunuva]

RFOM multiplayer revived would be the greatest thing on planet earth right now

[NotanotherReboot]

zzzzzz come up with some new material please

[manabyte77]

This team has found a niche, and they happen to be phenomenal at it. It’s also a lot safer financially remaking existing games. I’m sure they’ll get the itch to do something new eventually, but they’re not there yet.

[LP-Eleven]

You have to ignore people like Frinker.

OT: The rumor is that it is bigger than Shadow of the Colossus, so ICO certainly isn't it. Regardless, another PlayStation Remake is a welcomed addition.

[doos_vd_kak]

zzzzz you're the one requiring new material.

[StrawberryDiesel420]

For the love of everything holy....please remake Demon's Souls. The game that deserves it more than anything. It basically is responsible for reviving a genre of games that were considered too hard. Most publishers would never have funded this game's development costs at that time. Gaming was headed more towards casual at the time meaning a plethora of FPS and TPS rather than anything Souls like. Do it Sony...it's pretty much a no-brainer.

[yeastori]

Onimusha collection

[Eidolon]

Yesss

[AnubisG]

That would be awesome too!

[RememberThe357]

3 is still one of my favorite games. I'd love a remaster.

[pody]

OMG. Please don't tease me fellow human.

[AnubisG]

Tomb Raider trilogy from the PS1. That would be so amazing. One can dream.....

[DaFeelz]

Impossible longshot... Metroid Prime Trilogy. Hey, I can dream.

[StormLegend]

Remake Silent Hills!

[Harkins1721]

Let's go Ape escape!

[Dlaw76]

Microsoft should purchase Bluepoint seeing the amazing things they have done

[DarkVoyager]

“Microsoft should purchase Bluepoint seeing the amazing things they have done“

Bluepoint and Sony are much better suited for each other.

[Dlaw76]

Nah I think Microsoft and Bluepoint will be better

[dragon_rocks]

Demons Souls, Heavenly Sword or Folklore please.

[Vanfernal]

Folklore was freaking awesome!!!

[chris235]

maybe we can have the remakes in the same gen nextt gen. why bother putting skills and effort into something new when you can reheat stuff.

[Tobse]

Finally a knack remake babyyyyyy

[The_Sage]

Please be Ico! Please be Ico! Please be Ico!

Or, The Getaway. What a fantastic underappreciated game.

[InMyOpinion]

The Getaway was awesome.

[megaworm25]

Fallout 3 or New Vegas

[LgbtWarrior]

I’ve played some great remakes but sotc blew all of them out of the water. Damn it was mind blowing. Bluepoint really are special.

[Tzuno]

Please remake Black.

[Fist4achin]

Black was amazing. I'd love to see it come back!

[ILostMyMind]

Bring It to me.

[TheGamez100]

Hmmm most likely Ico? Maybe the first god of war?....oh I wish itd be demons souls...pleaaaassseee.

[Roarke]

Guys.. do System Shock !

[Yui_Suzumiya]

It's already being done by Night Dive along with System Shock 3.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

Metal Gear Solid, if only eh?

[Yui_Suzumiya]

The original Half-Life done in the Source 2 engine.

[BioShockGX]

Already done on PC. Search for black mesa on steam.
But yeah i want it on ps4.

[pody]

I think we can all agree that if Sony wants to remake an older game or game series, they have a lot of quality to chose from.

[cyber_daemonx]

Demon's Souls.

[TheOttomatic91]

We'll probably see their new project at E3

[THC CELL]

Warhawk and resistance collection will be a great add due to a lot of people who skipped ps3

[Mista2018]

Demon's Souls remake?

[-Gespenst-]

I'm not sure I'd like to be a studio that just remakes old games by other people. They clearly know what they're doing, they should make an original game.

[InTheZoneAC]

Socom 1, 2, Combined Assault Collection...with multiplayer

[Kumakai]

Those guys are on point. They should make a new, follow up SoC

[thornh]

Demons Souls hopefully

[Hedstrom]

Demons soul

[himdeel]

Infamous or Demons Souls incoming.

[itsmebryan]

I'm ready for the downvotes. But, you guys are excited pay again for a game you already own? Yet some of you mock X1 free Backwards compatible and X1X enhancements. Interesting.🤔

[snoopgg]

Remake socom
