I’m honestly just anxious to hear what Sonys lesser talked about studios are doing at this point. Like yeah, we know Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, Insomniac, Suckerpunch, Santa Monica are gonna do their big AAA action games but what is Pixelopus, Media Molecule, Bluepoint, Firesprite ,Team Asobi, Housemarque, etc. doing?

I’m kind of tired of seeing Pixelopus and Bend still use Concrete Genie and Days Gone in their marketing. They both released games in 2019, its 2023 almost…whats going on?



A lot of these studios feel dormant. If it weren’t for people rummaging through job listings we wouldn’t even know they still existed. I’m still shocked we saw mention of the London Studios game. Another studio that has been MIA almost an entire console generation.

Definitely feels like Sony skipped a big showcase or something

 

[Hobbygaming]

Halo. I wonder which studio could do it though.

I think a FPS done by the Guerrilla Games of today would be

I'd settle for a Killzone 2 remake, I never played it but it looked great

 

[Hobbygaming]

Astrobot is the GOAT platformer

Astrobot World

I'll buy two copies

 

[Celcius]

Another astrobot game is about the only thing I can think of. I don't really trust them to make an RPG and Gran Turismo already has racing covered.

 

[remember_spinal]

Give me an Astrobot games where you jump from one playstation game world to another like kingdom hearts

Plot a big villainous game virus is hacking your ps5 and corrupting game worlds, and its up to Astro bot along with help from his many friends (kratos and atreus, Aloy, Cloud, Gran Turismo car, etc) to fight them off and save playstation platform-gaming as we know it

 

[Hobbygaming]

One of the options that I would like isn't up there but thankfully it's already basically confirmed that we're getting a new survival horror game and it's coming from Firesprite

And Ballistic Moon

 

[skit_data]

Sci-fi FPS sounds interesting but I don’t equate the genre with Halo.
How about FPS-adventure. You know, whatever Metroid Prime was called by Nintendo without it ever sticking around as a genre for some odd reason.

Sci-Fi FPS Adventure. Yeah that sounds about right.

 

[nocsi]

If it's anything, it'd be a concept that can be translated into film to coincide with their media production side. Personally, I think Sony should spend time in the building genre - minecraft, etc.

Or just make a 3d little big planet.

I’m dreading the day when sony announce an FPS title.

 

[Jubenhimer]

Bring back PlayStation made JRPGs damn it!

I hope you're not thinking of a villain character name Philnochio Spencerio.

Jokes apart, this is such an excellent idea. Portals powered by the PS5 SSD They already have "Astro models" of Joel, Ellie, Kratos, Atreus, Aloy, Cloud, Ratchet, etc. It'd be super cool and extremely fun to jump to Astrobot midgard and fight alongside and Astrobot Jormagandur and Kratos to fight evil.

Let us prepare for Ragnabot

 

[Naked Lunch]

Ico 4 and Omega Boost 2.
Wont ever happen.

 

[Ivan]

New Colony Wars would be a great showcase game and it wouldn't even be that expensive to make compared to some other genres.

I'd like the best looking platformer, but with completely different tone to anything in the industry. Something that's not aimed at kids only as a concept.

Third person action game that has NOTHING to do with today's standards. Something that would feel fresh and revolutionary like Tomb Raider in 96 or something.

 

[NightmareFarm]

Nothing.

 

[mansoor1980]

elder scrolls/western rpg

sony should try to buy out TODD HOWARD from bethesda , under playstation studios the results will be legendary

 

[Yoboman]

I'd like to see one do a Bioshock style light RPG FPS or even just a Half Life style linear cinematic FPS

Feels like a neglected genre

 

[kyliethicc]

linear cinematic FPS

pretty sure thats what Horizon VR will be. just with a bow of course

 

[vaibhavpisal]

The moment they will make anything non cinematic, you will see Naughty Dog magic fade away.

You can't have it all, for every extra detail they put in animations, they need to take processing power away from somewhere else.

 

[Gobjuduck]

Anything that isn’t a slow ass over the shoulder movie game with nice graphics and excessive dialogue.

I’d like them to make a competitive game, either a fighter or shooter. Because that’s what they lack.

 

[kiphalfton]

There's a reason nobody talks about those two games...

 

[IDKFA]

I'd like them to try a WRPG, something that could compete with Elder Scrolls.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Eroge

 

[supernova8]

Basically two things:
1) Buy/license the Metal Gear Solid IP and give it (back) to Kojima.
2) Pull Kaz Yamauchi off Gran Turismo. They take too long to make their damn games. I really wonder how long it will be before we actually get a proper PS5-exclusive GT game that isn't just a re-hash of GT7 (which itself is a rehash of GT Sport but with all the modes it should have had in the first place). Plus can we finally get proper car damage and associated physics? Hilarious that they dare to call it "the real driving simulator" not even close.

 

[crackajack]

* give GT to Firesprite and do also a Driveclub GT arcade spinoff

[Rhazer Fusion]

If you don’t want open world you can try some of Sonys lesser known games like TLOU2, GoW Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, sackboy and Demons souls,

Heh, my mistake. Didn’t mean to say “Sony first party” in the last sentence. I meant open world in general for the entire industry. Accidentally left that in. Typing on a phone lol. I actually have all those games except Sackboy, but I guess I’m hoping for more of those type of experiences going forward even though open world in general seems more popular in the industry.

 

[ByWatterson]

Knack III

Knack III: Knack Around and Find Out

 

[Robbinhood]

Ah understood! Yeah I MUCH prefer linear/wide linear games to open world my self. I know certain games like Elden Ring are built around that and it works there but otherwise the game will always be better if restricted in land size imo.

 

[nightmare-slain]

honestly it's not so much the type of game/genre that bothers me. it's that they are making games in genres i like but i just don't think the games are all that great. i'm not saying they make bad games before someone comes for me but they just aren't anything terribly exciting.

 

[BennyBlanco]

i want that rumored fantasy setting no druccman naughty dog game to be real.

 

[diffusionx]

I voted other because especially with the VR push, it’s long past time for a new Colony Wars. I doubt Jim or Herman have ever heard of it though.

 

[GymWolf]

Open world action rpg\adventure.

 

[Henry Panic]

The ones they did on the PS1 and PS2. They've been very sketchy with genre representations for years now.

 

[remember_spinal]

There's a reason nobody talks about those two games...

Today i learned no one talks about Astrobot…

And its funny because both those games are critically received way better than a lot of platformers. If you like the genre its your loss for not playing them

 

[Fredrik]

3D Metroidvania.
Just let Housemarque make a proper Metroid clone and I guarantee they would do better than Retro Studios.

 

[Woggleman]

They should hire Dan Houser like they did with Kojima and make an open world game set in the present or the future.

 

[FingerBang]

I really miss Sony's FPS. Say whatever you want, but Killzone, Resistence and MAG were a lot of fun.

Also, a more traditional RPG would be cool, though I get they already get enough from their third party partners.

 

[Games of Today]

Not quite sure where Warhawk for ps3 fits in terms of genre, but a true sequel (Starhawk doesn’t count) is needed.

This is the perfect opportunity for the franchise that would work well in the current landscape of free to play that Sony is aiming to compete in.

A third person arcade shooter that includes massive battles on land and air in a massive environment.

Imagine that gameplay in modern graphics. It would look incredible flying through real time clouds with HDR.

 

[Games of Today]

The Traveler

You do know that one of the Naughty Dog artists shared Dragon art right? I want them to do something like this so bad!

 

[Bizukah]

MMORPG.
an MMO with the quality and production values of Playstation's studios would do gangbusters,.. you'd probably have to pay 60 dollars a month to keep the servers running, though

I remember playing Free Realms Not playstation but Sony. If that kind of game was made with the Playstation Studios (and yknow, maybe on PC too...) My inner and outer child would both start crying

 

[GladiusFrog]

Undisputed is coming and it’s awesome. Played early access on steam. Huge fan of FNC, Undisputed is a true next gem boxing title.

I've been keeping my eye on it, Looks promising but I see problems with the locomotion, footwork and how the punches are thrown. I hope these issues are addressed before the final release.

Fight Night Champion is a tough act to follow, It got so many things right.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Ah understood! Yeah I MUCH prefer linear/wide linear games to open world my self. I know certain games like Elden Ring are built around that and it works there but otherwise the game will always be better if restricted in land size imo.

Agreed. I actually do like open world games like Elden Ring, GTA and Witcher 3, but I just don’t want more linear games to become an afterthought because it seems like many are chasing after the “open world” trend nowadays.

 

[Crayon]

Somebody to try some Bethesda style first person open world thing. I understand some of you call them RPGs lol..

People make fun of their stuff for being all buggy and taking too long, but you got to look at the fax and no one else is really trying that. I guess I'd like anyone to try, but I'm sure Sony would do better than EA or Ubi or whoever.

 

[Fbh]

I'd definitely like to see them make a proper RPG.
Not a cinematic action adventure game with RPG elements like God of War but an actual Witcher or Elder Scrolls type RPG, although not necessarily in a traditional medieval fantasy setting
A JRPG would be awesome too but they have no Japanese first party studio that could make one

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Someone needs to do a Spies versus Mercenaries from Splinter Cell standalone game

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'd like a Sony space combat VR game. Something like Eve Valkyrie, descent, chorvs - mix.
We haven't really got an AAA robust single player space combat VR game. Eve isn't enough.

 

[Rayderism]

Motorstorm is the only one that would truly excite me.
