I think Sucker Punch really hit their stride with Ghost of Tsushima which many feel is an Assassin's Creed-clone. I was never really a fan of the inFamous games and felt like they just weren't quite right (I know some people loved them though) and Insomniac really hit a new level by making their own Arkham-style superhero game in Marvel's Spider-Man.

Many of us also loved when they tried to make their own Final Fantasy in The Legend of Dragoon. In many ways, I think they've done a fairly consistent job of improving formulas.

What Industry defining/leading games should PlayStation Studios/Sony Interactive Entertainment tackle and which studio/partner studio should do it?

Personally, I'd love to see a western, built around The Last of Us P2 gameplay from Naughty Dog.

MMORPG.
an MMO with the quality and production values of Playstation's studios would do gangbusters,.. you'd probably have to pay 60 dollars a month to keep the servers running, though

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

WRPG...Naughty dog is the best in the industry on a technical level...if they bought in some of the old DnD guard and not want to be film makers they could make some insane games. I'd love to see them make a Dragon age kind of RPG with a ton of options and great gameplay.

Would like to see Sony try their hand at making a Boxing game.

It has been almost 12 years since Fight Night: Champion, the last good Boxing game.

As a Boxing fan, I'm starving over here.

 

[Captain Toad]

Halo. I wonder which studio could do it though.

thought you said you never cared for the games. why would you want them to try it out?

 

[Elbereth]

Not quite sure where Warhawk for ps3 fits in terms of genre, but a true sequel (Starhawk doesn’t count) is needed.

This is the perfect opportunity for the franchise that would work well in the current landscape of free to play that Sony is aiming to compete in.

A third person arcade shooter that includes massive battles on land and air in a massive environment.

 

[64bitmodels]

Also, Playstation needs a platformer right now, it hasn't really had a flagship one since like jak and daxter.
And no. Ratchet does not count. That's more shooter than platformer these days.

 

[Labadal]

I wouldn't mind another platformer, and give us a jrpg.

 

[Drizzlehell]

A game without cutscenes and squeezing through cracks in walls.

 

[bitbydeath]

Platformer/adventure games, I miss the old Simpson games we used to get, they were a lot of fun.

Edit: Maybe they were more Sandbox oriented.

 

[fart town usa]

Hard to say.

I feel like whatever they would do genre-wise, it would still be an over-produced melodrama geared towards a general audience who likes to binge Netflix series.

games like that haven't existed since the 90s. Get better bait bro

Undisputed is coming and it’s awesome. Played early access on steam. Huge fan of FNC, Undisputed is a true next gem boxing title.

And even before then it was text on screen which is pretty much the same thing, just delivered differently.

 

[ZehDon]

Voted 'Other', as in, I literally do not care what they make, as long as it's something Other than the third person cinematic action-adventure game with open-world RPG elements with a strong focus on cut scenes. Given some room, I'd bet we'd see really new, innovative, and interesting stuff!

[Art The Clown]

RPG like LOD and also a FPS. I feel like the FPS market could use a boost and a surprise hit kind of how GOW was back in the day for Xbox

 

[64bitmodels]

Drizzlehell every time he sees the toad saying "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!"

 

[bitbydeath]

You dun goofed.

 

[Warablo]

Probably a FPS of some type since they don't have any, a true RPG somewhat like Witcher, and probably spy military game somewhat like MGS.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Except for sports all of the above.

Exactly how I feel.

 

[Dick Jones]

Jax and Daxter Precursor type game. I never liked the direction the sequels took in level design (one large world) and how ND made the series too gritty.

In a dormant MGS period, they is scope for a Syphon Filter game. I'd love to know what number of PS Premium subscribers have played SF1 & SF2. If anyone wants another Syphon Filter, upgrade to Premium and platinum these 2 bad boys twice to bump up the numbers.

I didn't tick other but having a free to play Super Smash Clone would be massive. Use a small base of characters and have new characters and arenas be released at the same time as a connected big game releases, either first party or marketing partnerships.

 

[Captain Toad]

It was a joke. Not sure why Halo is an option in the poll.

[driqe]

In a perfect world, Naughty Dog poaches Swen Vincke; Naughty Dog's technical expertise paired with his RPG prowess would be incredible.

 

[64bitmodels]

every game since the 90s has had at least one cutscene, hence why i even pointed that out. Not to mention asking for a game with 0 cutscenes is fucking ridiculous, limits any sort of story. His demand was stupid and it was clear bait.

PS5 comes with an amazing platformer for free. Astro Playroom. They also had Sackboy at release. Any future Astrobot game, if not locked on VR, should be a flagship platformer.

hmmm, fair enough. i completely forgot about astro and sackboy... I feel like they could do better than that, though. I say add another one just to give Nintendo competition, with a similar budget and production values to most Naughty Dog/Santa Monica games. Would be a hit

 

[bitbydeath]

He’s not wrong, even the simplest and most basic of indies have cut-scenes, you’d be hard pressed to find one that didn’t.

 

[brian0057]

Videogames.

 

[bender]

They should make a golf game.

 

[The Fartist]

Open world Gran Turismo, no dumbed down version like Forza Horizon (which I did enjoy BTW). I want the same GT physics, the same GT learning curve, but open world. Oh, and PS5 and PC only.

 

[kungfuian]

My favorite games they've made over the last few years are demon souls remake, returnal, Astobot, and sackboy. Hopefully we continue to see them balance out their portfolio with more high quality platformers, unique sci-fi-themed stuff, and good hardcore action RPG adventure games.

I'd also love to see them partner with Konami to bring back Castlevania.

 

[Robbinhood]

I voted MGS/Syphon filter because that is the best genre and both of those games are the best ever.

Fuck I miss MGS. But I also like the run and gun nature of Syphon Filter. I plat'd SF and soon SF2, even now they are a blast.

Thats actually a great answer. I hate open world "racing" games but a realistic one with GT like physics would be fun. Actually, I would love a GTA style game with GT physics. Instant 10/10.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Something similar to Final Fantasy, Parasite Eve or Legend of Dragoon. Please don’t fill it with bloat.

A high budget action game like DMC, Resident Evil, Nioh, Ninja Gaiden or Sekiro?

I would say a 3D or even a 2D fighting game with a huge budget, but I know those things are generally extremely niche, so I won’t even think about that.

I’m honestly leaning more towards the action titles because I’m getting tired of open world games in general. I can make an exception with an RPG or something like GTA, but I don’t need open world in literally every Sony first party game.

Sure, its also a shooter, but so is Jak and Daxter which was referenced earlier in the thread

If you don’t want open world you can try some of Sonys lesser known games like TLOU2, GoW Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, sackboy and Demons souls,
