Resistance would be good.

It would be awesome to see a next-gen Resistance or Killzone.

They didn't even bother with a Killzone Collection or Resistance Collection for the PS4 to get some new fans into these series.
If they are going to make another SOCOM it should be first person, unless they come up with a solution for TPP corner peaking, where only what you character can see gets rendered.

Sony is playing it very safe these days (like almost all major publishers), I would expect them to invest into another third person cinematic action adventure before a shooter. Sony has found their golden goose and it seems like they don't wanna let go of it.

SOCOM introduced me to online gaming.
The fact that I could press circle to speak with other people around the world looked like magic to me.
And we were able to make strategies! I mean, it was a little kid dream.

A more narrative based FPS would suit Sony. An in house equivalent to Bioshock.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Reasonable revival and it’s great seeing believers in exclusive SONY shooters but they’ll go their own route, those games are fake compared to Halo’s success bro

If this was 3-4 years ago, MAG would have been perfect. But Call of Duty now has that locked up with BR mode. I know that's not the same as MAG with respawns, but if Sony was going to make a shooter that would have been perfect timing.

MAG was something else, in a good way, but just before it's time.
I agree that Sony needs something fresh in their line up from an FPS viewpoint. Resistance would be my pick.

As Bryank said, sci-fi games don't really resonate with gamers anymore.
Shooter fans seem to skew to modern military (Call of Duty/BF) or crazy Fortnite/Hero based shooter.
That middle ground of a bit of both is a tough sell.
If Sony made a new MAG with lots of objective modes that fit 64 or 128 person giant maps it could work. It would be like BF but on steroids. And then add some BR modes and you got a total package game.

I find it more possible for the next Gran Turismo to be a cinematic third person action game than for Sony to invest into a first person shooter.
I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think MAG was ahead of it's time, I actually think it was behind the times.
256 players in one match (admittedly cool), but the player only interacted in 10 v 10 type scenarios. The game was so afraid of boring the player that it constantly threw enemies in your face. It essentially played like an inferior COD, which had superior graphics and controls. The high player count was a relative waste.
In a way, it was the anti Battle Royale. A genre that doesn't care if you see an enemy for 5-10 minutes, because it gives the player meaningful context for each engagement. MAG never really did that.

Killzone Shadow Fall is the worst game I ever finished, but I'd be keen to see a new Resistance.

With everything going free to play and Sony needing reasons to make people pay for Plus I could see them investing in a new IP. I’d almost argue they need a new and exclusive FPS for PS5.
I wouldn’t count on Halo being amazing at launch, but I’m sure it will eventually be a good game and Sony doesn’t have anything FPS wise this holiday, outside of the usual suspects you can play anywhere, to give people a reason over Xbox. Here in the U.S. people do still love the shooters.

2 sleepers that can easily change MP for sony if done right, with fps your only trying to compete or copy n paste whats already done.

I agree with you, although I want more Uncharted so I dunno, I feel what they're missing.

Just as long as it doesn’t have stylish cartoon graphics or a post apocalyptic type setting then I’m down.

I think Sony Is best at avoiding the genres everyone else is doing and probably will do better than them.
Most publishers won't touch a single player focused game without microtransactions and that's what Sony is the best at.

I think it's just a theory at this point. Could be a 2nd project or it could be Forbidden Wests multiplayer mode.

This is a great take! I personally would love to see an adaptation of a modern conflict account like House to House, Black Hawk Down, Lone Survivor, 13 Hours, Lions of Kandahar, etc. Something that really grounds the player and the experience in the suffering endured by all sides in the conflict. COD/BF make war seem like an action movie, this would be a pallet cleanser.

People that own the ps4 love watching movies disguised as video games so why would they waste their time making an actual game?

MAGs problem was launching too early. I liked it but it really needed to be a PC game if it launched the year it did.

SOCOM, Resistance & MAG. Bring em all back. It's time.

Would I like to see one? Sure, if it comes from the right studio and given enough time in the cooker. Is it necessary? No. Is it happening? More than likely not....
Playstation has plenty of third-person shooters however. Good ones at that. Returnal being another coming in hot. When you have games like Halo barely making a blip in the radar, and not a positive blip at that you know how saturated the market really is.

i think that's more of a coincidence and a trend of the industry as a whole. I don't think Sony or any of the heads of the studios is pushing that games need to be third person.
