Not to mention Killzone, Resistance, Jak and Daxter. It is not about quantity, but how you use them. This is proof that these execs are just talking out of their asses and don’t really know what they are talking about.

💯 God of War is proof of that. An old franchise relegated to the bin of abandoned Sony IP after being squeezed dry. Then it gets reborn as an entirely different kind of game. They nearly didn’t greenlight it thinking there was no way it would be worthwhile. But they did and the rest is history.

So do that with Resistance or Infamous or Sound Shapes. Easier said than done I know but saying there’s not enough IP is so dumb.

Another Jak and Daxter could be awesome, but I was so thoroughly disappointed in the Crash Team Racing remaster a few years ago it has basically made me give up hope that nostalgia-based games can be more than cash grabs.
