I didn't knew about her up until today, but checking her trackrecord reveals that she's legit and knows her shit. She's someone worth keeping an eye for in the future.
Oh, and believe me, the intel I had on BP did not align with hers for the most part (as it turns out that me and others were sitting on some info that was outdated by now, but that was true at the time nonetheless).
Yeah, it's been a rough start of the gen for various insiders because due to Covid (and sometimes other reasons) plans that were seemingly set in stone took a 180º and everything changed or stuff got pushed back big time, although the informations initially discussed by insiders were all true and accurate at the time.

They don't own that game, which means they can't work with it unless they make a deal with its IP owner, pay them money and on top of that pretty likely give them also part of the money generated by the game.
They have a gazillion Sony owned games and IPs that are way more popular and recent than this one, so obviously won't do it. And when I said 1.4 million copies it was even counting the Dreamcast version.
It doesn't make sense for Sony to get involved in his game at all. If they never developed a 3rd party super successful game from PS1, they won't do it with this one. With MGS I'd believe it because it was super successful, it was a very iconic PS game and Sony is making its movie, so to promote the movie it would fit.

Yeah I remember some insider being adamant that a switch 4k or pro was coming as early as 2019, so even if I have no doubt that it will eventually come out, I do feel tired of hearing it's coming this year for it not to happen.Because all that is left of real info to these insiders is Nintendo is working on a more powerful console ...The thing that everybody knows
So maybe they leaked things way too early and bad luck wronged them but there were so many rumors that hasn't concretize as of now that it is hard to believe anyone now.There's still some people I trust because they've probably been more cautious about what they've said than others.
But nonetheless she seems to have good intel now let's hope she is going to keep being that well informed in the future.

They could do that but there has to be a dlc upgrade path.

That makes sense actually.
That way, we will have one release from them pretty much every year.
- Bluepoint specializes in remakes and remasters. No point in acquiring them and then not using them to remakes games -- the very thing they specialize in.
- Bluepoint wants to do an original game / IP. Give them a chance so they can realize their ambitions as well.

That's interesting but so so surprising. I don't believe that the Malaysian studio would be handling Metal Gear (or Uncharted) all on its own. That's too big a project. Who are they working with!

I'm praying but it's too early for an outright remake i think
My next hope would be a soul reaver remake but that's a far stretch

There's a ton of remakes that I and others want but I'll pass on any remasters

I wonder how much that would cost to develop? It would sell another million at least.

Ok Bluepoint, if you see this I'll take these remakes
Resistance 3
Legend of Dragoon
The Matrix
Syphon Filter
Silent Hill
Killzone 2

She's definitely reliable. This was posted 3 days before the PS showcase

It is curious but all I can think is ”if she’s reliable, who the hell is she? a neighboor to playstation hq in the apartment next to the room where they discuss their upcoming games? someones gf?”She's definitely reliable. This was posted 3 days before the PS showcase
She can’t be working at Sony or at least I hope she doesn’t because she’d probably under some sort of NDA

Probably a friend that works for a studio at PS

I hope her friend knows she’s putting his/her job and future in jeopardy if that is indeed the case

Probably someone with a handful of pretty good connections within SIE/the videogame industry. One doesn't necessarily have to work at an X company in order to know about internal information.

Malaysia Studio are part of Sony's support team. They are like 20 artists. Its internal outsourcing basically. They're working on Horizon, God of War, Spidey, etc.
They are NOT making a game of their own lol.

If its a Sony game I could see the following as priorities for Sony:
God of War 2005 remake - old gameplay but next gen graphics. probably the biggest sales potential. With 2018 selling approx 20 million and the original only like 5 I imagine there are a lot who haven't played it
ICO - they did SOTC so I could see them doing ICO
Jak and Daxter - Ratchets revival would make Sony open to exploring bringing back Jak
Twisted Metal - there is a TV show so having a new game/remake would make sense
Bloodborne - feels like patching the game would be such a task that they might as well go the full hog and remake it. Less room for reinterpretation than other games though so not sure if Bluepoint would do it. Nixxes could probably handle a straight port to PS5 and PC
Killzone 1 - the original was a technical mess but there was promise under the hood and nobody would complain if they got creative with changing things up
Syphon Filter - I'd prefer it was Bend but I could see Sony bringing this back
The Getaway - I was never a big fan but it feels like there is a gap in the market for an open world crime game and they could do a lot with this
Motorstorm - just feels like the kind of game that could be a massive eye candy game this gen. Could probably reach the original CG trailer
Resistance 1 - wouldn't excite me but there a lot that could go into upgrading this one

Well, Bloodborne is certainly a beloved game, and Bluepoint know how From’s engines function, so…

I'd love that if they did it all with modern looking graphics, make it a real 2.5D game, highly detailed characters and environments etc. I really wish someone would do a fully 3D open world Castelevania that allows you to play as all 3 characters from the show, basically make the Witcher 3 mixed with Castlevania. Obviously the combat would be more over the top etc but I think that could be a lot of fun. I wouldn't want a Japanese dev doing it though, we'd just get a bunch of enemies with 20 eyes or arms growing out of their heads.
I think Bloodborne is the most likely candidate.
Big demand for it, and they're fresh from Demon's Souls, and it's not that old, so shouldn't be TOO much work.
I think Ico is the next most likely. Either way I think it'd be something that's *relatively* undemanding, because they're working on an original game too.

Bloodborne would make a lot of sense. The game isn't patched at all, unlike most of the iconic PS4 games. BP has laid some sort of foundation with Demon's Souls recently.
And I can't think of much else really. The nostalgia sucker in me would be happy with Sypon Filter or even Twisted Metal but they wouldn't be all that obvious though TM sort of returns. But it wouldn't surprise me of the Destruction Allstar teams gets to work on TM. That game was awful ofcourse but the performance, controls and IQ was there. Just needed TM as a template.

I don't want these ones. They must continue buried. I just clicked on report, ignore, block, sue and launch nukes buttons.

Its an old dead IP with no relevance today. Has been that way since 2006-2007.

Nice if true - I was bit worried that developing new game would kill any remasters they do for 4-5 years time.

If true, I'd give them:
-Uncharted 5/Uncharted spin-off (if ND and Bend are busy with other stuff) showing early adventures of young Nate and Sully not show in the previous games or the movie
-Wipeout Alpha (if Firesprite and Fabrik aren't already working on it): all the content and features from Wipeout, Wipeout 2097, Wipeout 3 and Wipeout 3 Special Edition merged into a single game, reimagened for PS5 an PSVR2 (it would be available for both tv and vr) and adding modern features from recent Wipeouts and modern, very successful racing, eSports and multiplayer games
-ICO, GoW 1, Uncharted 1, Syphon Filter remakes (or even better, reboots not limited to 1:1 remakes)
-Syphon Filter, Ico, SotC, TLG, (if FromSoft are busy) Bloodborne and Demon's Souls sequels
But hey, same happened to me with the first Ratchet games and I like the recent ones. So who knows, maybe someone can revive and properly adapt them to modern times (any my personal tastes). But in any case, if they ask me what other IPs would I resurrect I'd choose many other ones before this one.

Back then they had some great tech stuff but I didn't personally like their art style, characters and the game itself felt already outdated and poochie. They never have been appealing to me. Excluding their recent woke stuff of wanting to remove white cis males etc, I prefer the modern approach of ND games with Uncharted or TLOU2.

Not happening. Sony is the company that bought them, not Konami.

Why can't they just read the atmosphere, and make what people want?
MGS remake that is.
