It’s no secret that PlayStation has a protracted checklist of licensed classics and IPs that they merely refuse to the touch for one cause or one other, no matter how many individuals champion the revival of those franchises. Nicely, it appears Hermen Hulst is right here to guarantee followers that they haven’t deserted something.
Talking to Famitsu (through VGC), he says they’re “regularly taking a look at alternatives to leverage previous IP” in addition to establishing new ones.
“Our purpose is to publish video games by the world’s greatest creators, each inside and out of doors of PlayStation, and now we have achieved many successes up to now by working intently with exterior improvement studios.”
Probably, the success of Astro Bot may spur Sony within the path of reviving traditional video games, particularly since they already introduced some oldies to trendy programs through emulation, which they proceed to enhance. We gained’t lie; it might be neat to see some traditional PlayStation IPs returning within the technology as some type of swan music occasion.
That mentioned, it’s unlikely we’ll have a brand new Killzone from Guerrilla nor new Sly Cooper or Notorious from Sucker Punch.
What do you assume? What PlayStation IPs do you wish to see revived? Tell us under!
