Hopefully their next game continues from what they learned with Returnal and they have a bigger budget. Looking forward to their new game.

Edit:
Now that I think about it, they would be a great developer to take over the Resistance franchise if Insomniac and Sony were okay with it. I think there would have to be a Resistance Remaster / Remake, to get people a chance to experience the games modernized. A Modern Warfare retelling of Resistance would be a great IP for them to work on.

I’d rather them work on what they want yo make. That is how we got a unique gem like Returnal.

GrimyShoot9r679d ago

Sony shouldn't be wasting first party studio talent on remakes/remasters. Sony should be contracting smaller indie developers for remakes/remasters and let the first party studios create new ip

ChiefofLoliPolice679d ago

I don't think we need to worry about that. Sony has been pretty good (not perfect) on new IPs. Better then Xbox that's for damn sure

MrBaskerville679d ago

I don't think you should expect Tlou remake to be the norm. As far as I understand it they mainly made the game because it was an easy thing to do to keep idle staff busy between projects.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo5h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows904h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno5h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan4h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno4h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19815h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Cacabunga1d ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator19h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19811d 8h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein1d 7h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
