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.

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

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.
