7 Abandoned Exclusives that PlayStation Did Dirty

[@James-gj8rn]

Seeing Kat on the thumbnail, THE VITA WAS KILLED TOO SOON MAN!!! WHY SONY?!

[@candybeans]

Seriously. It was so good.

[@Megatron113]

Sony sent it out to die. The proprietary memory cards, the paltry amount of first party software. I love my Vita and I still use it and up until recently I used it for remote play.

[@WhatTheFirstAidSpray]

Yeah, as much as I love my vita (any time I can play MGS and PS1 Classics on the move is a good time) but I totally get why it was basically abandoned. I just wish they had developed a new portable with full backwards compat rather than the waste of time we got for the PS5. Seriously, that thing is a 200 quid insult.

[@Joe90h]

Unfortunately, the positives of the Vita were not things that could make Sony all that much money. And by the time the Switch came out and showed them how it was supposed to have been done, it was too late.

[@bdous1]

It didn't sold well. That is why. PS vita was something great but executed terribly. I was thinking to buy it when it came out but as soon as I read about the very expensive propriety memory cards I was out.

[@src248]

I love Gravity Rush so much; nothing comes close to how that game feels when you're just traversing around the world, plus Kat, plus the incredible soundtrack

[@therapyquantified987]

Sadly not many people bought the games

[@SorasShadow1]

Their abandoning Gravity Rush wouldn't sting *quite* as bad if they hadn't prematurely shut down the online servers for GR2 and locked any new players out of a huge number of rewards. And, y'know, the multiplayer aspect was really fun and it's a damn shame people can't experience it now. They're still absolutely worth playing, but I'd be a liar if I said that it isn't missing something now.

[@mnArqal93]

Yep, played GR2 last year on PS4 so never experienced the multiplayer so it never felt like it was missing anything. From my perspective, the online thing was nothing more than a nuisance. But I'm glad it didn't interfere with the platinum or game too much. It's frustrating when games do this though. I just mentioned this, but the other thing is GR2 also wasn't friendly for new players to the series, story wise. They just continued the story and there was no handholding with it. It's really one of the games where you need to play the first one first as there's no explanations to most stuff. You either knew or you didn't. I tend to only play a lot of series from first to last, but I imagine for some, that was annoying. Thankfully, the game's story was wrapped up so the games really felt like one package instead of two separate ones.

[@undertakernumberone1]

@@mnArqal93 i srtarted out with GR2 and, yeah... some stuff was confusing but imho you can start through decently enough.

[@mnArqal93]

I was a latecomer to the series and completely agree, I've been itching to try the multiplayer for years even though I know it's not gonna happen

I'm glad I got the game a few months before it shut down multi-player was really fun

[@nottaseagull]

Dark Cloud is the first thing that jumped to mind when I saw this video title, I was actually genuinely surprised not to see it on the list. It has been abandoned so long that even the videos about abandoned franchises have forgotten it!

[@Ilikecatsismychannelname]

I'd play that! I enjoyed rebuilding all the towns in the first game. Haven't played the sequel because I can't find the bloody thing. But I'd play it too!

[@FrenziedFury]

Dark Cloud's problem was the devs spending (wasting, IMO) all of their effort on the White Knight Chronicles games, which were nowhere near as fun as Dark Cloud (especially DC2).

[@nottaseagull]

@@Ilikecatsismychannelname - Dark Chronicle (or Dark Cloud 2, depending on which part of the world you're from) is available on the digital Playstation store, if you have access to a PS console.

[@brittb1696]

I'd argue that since Frankenstein "gave his 'monster' life," he's basically its father, and thus it would take his name. Ergo, ipso facto, by virtue of that ironclad logic, Sweet Tooth is correct as well. Checkmate. Jenga. Yahtzee Croshaw.

[@maxvel0city906]

Glad to see The Order 1886 on this list, Ellen nailed it "This game had so much potential." All it needed was more of a focus on the Werewolves and Vampire's.

[@deathbykonami5487]

I still own the game and while the forced stealth sections and QTEs were frustrating, I still enjoyed it for the see story and gameplay. I want to see more from our friend, Galahad, since the game ended on a cliffhanger.

[@georgepap8512]

The only things the The Order 1886 needed was 3 times the length where the story progresses normally , 2/3rds less of those incredibly boring and bad stealth sections, 9/10ths less QTEs and more focus on the lure and the actual order. I only played the game because of the easy platinum 5 years after the release ,having little to no expectations and somehow the game managed to really disappoint me. Huge potential squandered!

[@ryllharu]

I'd be plenty happy with a tv series adaptation that runs the series to a conclusion. Not enough grimy steampunk on tv/theaters.

Also, I've always suspected that one of the reasons guys like Superman or Green Lantern or even Thor don't get very many good, AAA games is because free flight is such a difficult thing to mechanically balance, and Gravity Rush is a really good example of trying to get it to work and doing a good job of it.

I find it funny how you guys mentioned inFAMOUS, another franchise that needs a new game. The last one was First Light, I think from 2015, and I’d love to see another one on PS5 someday soon, maybe with multiple playable characters and a storyline that converges at the final boss fight? I’d also love to see another WipEout game, since the last one that I count was 2048 on the PS Vita. Omega Collection had a PSP game (Pure) that was ported to PS2, remastered for PS3 (HD), remastered again for PS4 Omega), DLC for the remastered PS3 game (Fury), and 2048. I also want another Tourist Trophy, or maybe a remaster. It was a PS2 game based on Gran Turismo 4, but it had motorcycles instead of cars. The license system was changed, and a few tracks were introduced. I don’t think you could buy new bikes, either. Sticking to the subject of racing games, I don’t think anyone would be mad if DriveClub was reactivated or officially ported to the PS5. The game is still beautiful today, even on an 8 year old PS4. They don’t even have to give away the DLC, just make it available to buy from the store again and reactivate the servers.

[@suntannedduck2388]

Infamous agreed. Wipeout yeah Pure/Pulse on PSP or PS2 also Pulse was for, to HD on PS3, HD Fury DLC, 2048 on Vita, Omega collection of HD, HD Fury and 2048 on PS4. then Rush the mobile game that flopped. Polyphony hasn't mentioned TT in years. Rise is fine even Ride 4 improves Forza Motorsport 1&2's region system idea. Ride 2 even had Forza Motorsport 6 style cutscenes. Other bike games exist but TT has a certain style and feel to it. Ride 4/MotoGP games have gone too pro and too unplayable to me. Milestone just made things worse but their old bike or car games were better in experimental ideas or play ability XD GT7 style Tourist Trophy would just disappoint me if it's campaign is like the cafe and level gating or roulette things I find of GT5/Forza Motorsport 6 compared to GT7 just aren't for me. A better bike game yes but their current design I don't really care for it. Drive club it's rain/weather effects are still good but it's like 1/3 the content nowadays. No idea if VR is the definitive edition I own both just never checked. The ideas in it were very interesting for the time and other games that tried to do varied modes. I think dropping the amount of racing titles was a bad idea but AI can see why. Even though GT games cost way too much even besides the delays of GT5 or cost of Last Guardian.

Facts, that and Resistanse They should release the main games on one hand and on the other their respective multiplayers as GaaS so one doesn't cripple the other

[@nintendork07]

gravity rush was phenomenal. well ahead of its time & the second game was even better. could've updated it to 60fps for PS5 but never did, good sign that they gave up on the franchise. really hope it comes back

[@davidegelpi9848]

A special about killer IP that Sony let die, and not a single mention about Dark Cloud/Chronicles? Outrageous!

[@shadeslayerzycron6209]

WHERE’S DARK CLOUD-!? My childhood right there…

[@bretth342]

The Twisted Metal murder clown is Needles Cane. Sweet Tooth is the truck

[@TheSunnyOne]

I liked Knack! I'd be happy with more Knack. Forbidden Siren is a big one for me. Last entry we got was the remake of the first game on PS3. But on top of that: Resistance, Killzone, inFamous.

[@BadgerOff32]

Oh man, Gravity Rush _ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!_ They were such amazing games! Great aesthetic, fantastic music, charming protagonist, incredible traversal and combat, and just such an interesting world with SO MANY questions left unanswered! I think they even left the sequel on a cliffhanger too, just to rub salt in the wounds! Sadly, playing Gravity Rush 2 is quite rough these days after they shut down the servers for the multiplayer parts. While the online stuff was only a small part of the experience, without it, it means it's almost impossible to find chests in the world, and without the currency you get from them, you're basically locked out of obtaining certain rewards. Also, some side events will try and post your score to a leaderboard that no longer exists, wasting your time. Oh well. At least I created a Gravity Rush themed character in DC Universe Online years ago, so I can still play as 'Kat' on there, I guess. But, come on Sony.....bring back Gravity Rush! Those games are awesome!

[@bigpmp883]

Medievil. They remade it back in 2020 but only used the first one.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Granted, the second game is quite flawed, all while the first is a fine standalone.

[@abzer0gaming]

Here's a couple of franchises you could've added to the list: Legaia and Dark Cloud.

[@Costello3.0]

Remember when there was almost a Sly Cooper movie

[@ZariLutus]

With Sly Cooper, also can't forget that they ended Sly 4 on a cliffhanger that still hasn't been resolved

[@manadorkuk]

Commenter edition: The Legacy of Kain Series! It was so enriched with lore, and the last entry was a weirdo game that didn't really finish anything off.

[@Acidrain82]

I need to know how it ends. Did Kain restore the balance? is Raziel permanently stuck inside the soul reaver?

[@lnsflare1]

To be fair, that wasn't a Sony IP.

[@abbaskizilbash6156]

I cant believe you brought up Sly Cooper! They were one of my favourite franchises growing up and hope they do something good with it! Although they moved from their OG dev Sucker Punch Studios!

[@miraprime474]

I'm not sure I want more sequels to the Killzone and Resistance series, but it would be nice if they were all available on current hardware (being behind PS+ Premium paywall doesn't count.)

[@SunsetJay]

2 exclusives from the PS2 that I would love to see a rerelease or a remake. 1 is Primal and the other is Ghosthunter.

[@ickybobclay26]

Jak and Daxter, resistance, Spyro, infamous. All these series should be brought back

[@cooperjordan1554]

God the sly Cooper entry hit me right in my heart

[@ShadowVulcan]

You forgot MAG, Coded Arms, Legend of Legaia, and Legend of Dragoon. Not sure if the companies are owned by Sony but they were exclusives that desperately need love, though with the amount of remakes, remasters, and sequels that bomb I'm not sure if I want the modern game industry to touch them.

[@CallofDutyBlackOps28]

SOCOM was another something that as someone who wasn't really a big fan of the series, i can really commit to the "sony; you really fucked it up killing the online this early"

[@majorasecho]

Gravity rush was the reason i bought the vita day one and loved it so much. Hopefully that Gravity rush movie leads to a new game.

Thanks for raising awareness for these great games btw :3

[@therealjaystone2344]

I dunno if that’s true about the newer gravity rush game coming soon but it’s awful

[@UnreasonableArticulo]

8:07 - Yes, Sly Cooper, the game nominated for both "Best Game No One Played on PlayStation 2" and named in the "25 Most Underrated Games of All Time" was surely the reason why stealth sections became popular in games. It couldn't possibly have been 60+ million selling series that came before it, Metal Gear Solid, or a game regarded in the running for best game ever created like Deus Ex, or games like Hitman, Thief, or Splinter Cell. It was this Sly something game. :P

[@petersonp84]

WTF the "Twisted Metal" TV show is a Peacock Original. It is on the Peacock streaming service. (A quick search shows it is on Paramount Plus outside the US for some reason) But the show is pretty good, I'm really looking forward to a second season!

[@Sableagle]

You _might_ get _one_ of these, after they finish Dark Borne, Blood Demons, Elden Blood, Dark Ring, Souls Demons, Ringed Elders and porting Skyrim to a pregnancy test kit.

[@shinrailp1416]

Bloodborne will show up once Sony is about to lose the rights to the IP, they are terrified of losing any rights. Just look at poor poor Spiderman.

If just Sony first party, Legend of Dragoon is the obvious one. If we’re looking at games that could be ported to switch, all XSeed, Level 5, Growlanser, Wild Arms, Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga games.

[@OrangeDog20]

Hmm, two days ago YT randomly recommended me the ZPs for Gravity Rush.

[@DJSwagBass]

3 words for y’all, Jak and Daxter. The direction the game series took and the ultimate killing of said series is so heartbreaking. The first one will forever go down as one of my favorite Sony exclusives of all time.

[@langleymneely]

[@nuttyprof99]

You used a space for The Order: 1886 instead of Legend of the Dragoon, for shame

[@thejason755]

Why do i remember that game as not having the word “the” in it’s name? (“Legend of Dragoon”)

[@jshatt27]

The Legend of Dragoon needs either a sequel, prequel, or a remake. i dont care which but SOMETHING!

[@ts25679]

I like the flight mechanics in Gravity Rush but I wasn't captured by the setting, plot or characters. Cat's character design is great, but I don't remember anything about her or her personality.

[@AdonaelHarper]

No one ever remembers jet moto in these list.

[@eternalfailure4081]

I always think it odd when this subject is raised by anyone. A constant criticism of media today is the reliance on established IPs and a lack of new stories and characters, and yet this shows how many existing IPs have potential and are being sat on. Sega are the worst though, even if they have announced some new installments of old games.

[@macsmith2013]

YES. Imagine what Motorstorm could look like on a PS5. Speeding through "Horizon: Forbidden West" quality sceneries and spraying water/snow/mud EVERYWHERE! Twisted Metal would be a nice candidate for a sequel/reboot/remaster as well, especially considering the TV show didn't completely suck (ymmv there, of course).

[@lillytarry1424]

You should a video on games where you can play on both sides of the conflict (the last of us 2, halo...)

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Would vouch for most RTS games on this regard.

[@fableagain]

I loveeee the Gravity Rush soundtrack, and I haven't even played either of the games. I used to work at a cinema where they had a game station you could try out one of those games one, but I never did. Looking back I kinda regret it, but it's okay. I've always been fond of the main character by the way. She's got that Ishvalan palette of tanned skin/light hair/red eyes that I really like. And then her outfit just complement it so well, makes her seem not of this world, it's very striking I think.

[@chrisjags]

I love Gravity Rush, 2 in particular, and I'd really love to see more. So unique. When there are great game ideas out there like that getting cancelled, it sucks even more to get bland cookie-cutter games instead.

[@claratalbot7613]

Immediately thought of Sly Cooper for this list. Outside of a potential fan made game & fan fiction, we have been left on that cliff hanger for 20 years

[@randomjimmystuff9862]

I remember seeing parappa the rapper on games master and the first dude just pressed the buttons in time. The next dude just battered the pad in time and blasted the high score. Loved that game.

Jeanne D'arc and White Knight Chronicles games made by the glorious 'Level 5' need a remaster on newer consoles!

I recently played Gravity Rush 1 and 2 in the past year and I must say it didn't disappoint. I played it while listening to No Differences by Hiroyuki Sawano on loop, and it made the experience of flying through the sky that much better.
