[@williamcooper007]

@@tomparkin2068 Yes, The Thievius Raccoonus is the first game. As much as I enjoyed the first Sly game, the next PS2 entries, "Band of Thieves" & "Honor Among Thieves", were far superior, because you have more characters to play as and larger locations to explore. The PS3 game, "Thieves in Time", was good too, except it didn't do as well as the original trilogy and was left on an unresolved cliffhanger, but I still enjoyed it.

Just wanna mention this since it wasn't mentioned in the video, but Days Gone, Gravity Rush, Jak & Daxter, and Horizon all have films &/or shows that are in some form of development. Also, Sly Cooper & the Thievius Raccoonus will be playable on both PS4 & PS5 this month, without needing to stream The Sly Collection via PS Plus Premium.

Yeah, it is unfortunate though. Games like Resistance, Killzone, Jak and Dakster and InFamous deserve more love but I understand where those studios are right now.

[@drgonzo123]

@@nicholasvaccaro4826unfortunately this is true since we got a good look at sales when those Insomniac files were stolen. Although since Rift Apart was so early in the PS5’s lifecycle and they were hard to find I would hope that it would have sold a little better than its 1-3 million copies. Good news is I hear there is a small team currently working on the next R&C game. We’ll find out for sure when this new Astro Bot game releases. I personally love these action platformers and really hope it sells so we continue to get more

You missed the Buzz! Series. But I suspect that was so you could go from bloodborne directly to Demon Souls. Launching on the PS2 in 2005 with the music quiz, it went on to have entries covering sports film and general knowledge. And went on to have games on the PS3 AND PSP. The last game released in 2010.

Short answer: they dont have infinite money ... and the industry is way different nowadays ...

Syphon Filter, Tenchu, Killzone, Resistance, Socom. While the whole industry has lost it's way chasing live service money makers, Sony could be making a killing with all their dormant IPs with single player and small scale MP... but Sony had to chase live service too.

[@Gorb5342]

I don’t get why they don’t use these classic IPs to Make AA games or outsource to indie studios to fill up the catalog between their major AAA releases.

Bloodborne is its own IP, it isn’t part of Dark Souls. King’s Field, Armored Core, Sekiro, and Elden Ring are their own thing as well. They’re all from the same developer, most are part of the same genre, and you can definitely argue they’re part of the same “universe”, but they’re each their own franchise.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

@@tomparkin2068it’s just another Souls game with a slightly different aesthetic dude. All these FromSoft Souls style games are basically one in the same. Only one you can make a slight case for is Sekiro, but even then it’s still got a lot of that same design philosophy.

[@OtakuUnderground92]

@@WholeHolyHoleNope it’s all the same. Elden Ring is just souls, but open world. Bloodbourne is just faster Dark Souls with a different aesthetic. That’s why people crying for BB2 or a remake is moronic especially when Lies of P and other souls clones exist.

While a lot of these franchises are clearly dead and not coming back, I'd love to see Jak, Sly, Killzone, and InFamous come back in some form. A Syphon Filter game could be pretty interesting too since outside of Hitman, the stealth genre is pretty lacking atm (outside of MG3 remake and Splinter Cell remakes). Also RIP Motorstorm, one of the best arcade racers.

[@tunperak1256]

Please make Gravity Rush 3, I will finally buy PS5 just to play it and Bloodborne 2 too please.

[@SilverSpectre266]

The disrespect to Sly is wild. They left that man stuck in the past and never looked back. Not only that, but Sly was supposed to be among the 1st PS IPs to get a media adaption. At first it was going to be a movie, but after Ratchet and Clank flopped, Sony got cold feet and decided it should be a show instead. They had a studio and everything picked out for it and when they launched their own new division dedicated to turning their IPs into shows, Sly was one of the first assigned in like 2019. 5 yrs later and we've gotten Twisted Metal, Last of Us, an Uncharted movie, God of War in the works, Ghost of Tsushima in the works, Horizon in the works, and many more and meanwhile Sly is nowhere to be seen despite being one of the original works first in line for something. And its not even like they forgot about him because they keep including him in IP posters, franchise montage trailers, cameos in games like the newest Ratchet and Clank, references in Ghost of Tsushima and Astro, etc. Yet we cant get a new game, a short, or even a modern remake of his older stuff. Especially since a game like Sly Cooper is still original and unique in its mechanics and concept to this day. Theres are practically no AAA games and not very many, if any, indies that play like it does. Being able to play 3 separate characters with their own unique styles in a single campaign and mission type and then it culminates in one big intertwined objective.

Sony would be raking in a lot of money if they brought back some of their older franchises. Many gamers are from those areas and would happily buy these games for nostalgia.
