With an unopened box next to the other opened boxes for games they worked on. It's not massive, but still a slight tease of something to come when it's finally unwrapped.
So by that logic are they going to announce something on Christmas, or what about Boxing Day if you’re not in the US? Or should I expect a thread on December 27th saying Bluepoint gave us a nothingburger of a gift.

What logic? We are just speculating on their small tease. We know they are working on something, they said as much in the past, and this image is reflective of that. It's not that big of a deal.

Now, you bring up a good point! What if they announce it on or the day after Christmas?

Hopefully MGS remake with the guidance from Kojima. No one should touch Bloodborne 2 except FROM. I'm sure FROM will work with Playstation because they do every generation.

Bloodborne is sony's ip. They can let media molecule work on it if they want. Obviously fromsoftware would be best but what if they just don't want to cooperate and work on BB2? sony would be foolish to do nothing with that ip.

FROM works with PlayStation to create a game ever generation. That's not going to change. PS3 was Demon's Souls, PS4 was Bloodborne. PS5 will be something. FROM has a great relationship with Sony and that's not going to suddenly change. It can be Bloodborne 2 or it can be a new game but no developers should be allowed to create a sequel to a FROM game imo.

Bluepoint is the one company im fine with only doing remakes and remasters. I honestly don’t care about them doing an original IP.

They’re welcome to prove me wrong though.
This is how I feel as well. There's so many games stuck on older hardware that were so good, but in some ways their reach was beyond their grasp and some modern ports/remasters to get them up and running on current hardware with all the new bells and whistles is appreciated. Were some of their artistic changes to Demons' Souls a little questionable? Sure, but overall I'd say it mostly remained true to the original.

The first Metal Gear? I would be down for that! 😀
Honestly one my my wildest gaming dreams is for Sony to have one of their studios working on the metal gear franchise and release remakes of all games. I mention Sony because the rumors are about them having some sort of deal with this IP:

Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 in a single game (remaking each one of them separately would be weird since the games aren't that big if i remember it right)
Metal Gear Solid Remake
Metal Gear Solid 2 Remake
Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Remake (adapt the PSP game for a home console and maybe even PC)
Metal Gear Solid 4 Remake
Metal Gear Solid 5 Remake, with an actual ending

Of course none of this will ever happen and it's depressing how Konami barely even has this game on sale anywhere. Is it back on PC at least? I mean... MGS4 is literally stuck on PS3 and it's depressing to think about that.

This IP deserves so much more.

Metal Gear 1 and 2 would be like new games, but probably follow the basic plot of infiltrating Outer Haven and Zanzibarland. "
200 km north of the region of Galzburg, South Africa, lay the fortress of Outer Heaven, a fortified state that had been founded by a legendary mercenary in the late 1980s. In 1995, the Western world had received intelligence that warned of a weapon of mass destruction that was supposedly being constructed deep within the fortress. High-Tech Special Forces Unit FOXHOUND, commanded by the legendary soldier Big Boss, sent their best agent, Gray Fox to infiltrate the stronghold. However, days later, contact with Gray Fox was lost, his final transmission consisting only of two words: "METAL GEAR..."


With the goal of rescuing Gray Fox and uncovering the meaning of the cryptic message, rookie operative Solid Snake is sent into Outer Heaven alone."

Prob is not, but I also really hope for a Final Fantasy XIII trilogy and also Xenosaga Trilogy remasters as well. FF13 trilogy on PS5 and Switch would be awesome, same for Xenosaga trilogy.
Also, Fatal Frame trilogy and Tales of Xillia 1 and 2.
Legend of Dragoon
Skies of Arcadia

This makes zero sense. Why do people want a Bloodborne by BluePoint? They do remakes and remasters of video games not directing or produce them. We have no idea what their writing and directing talents on an original AAA game are. These journalist and "gamers" are insane. They don't know what these developers do.
 
Yeah, a Bloodborne sequel would be put a really unfair target on Bluepoint. Fans would criticize the game no matter what. And I don't even know how Bluepoint would even try to imitate Miyazaki's writing style. Metal Gear Solid 1 makes the most sense. Most gamers never played the original Metal Gear solid. So that gives them more creative license both from a story and gameplay perspective
 
Legend of Dragoon
motivational just do it GIF

I would love Legend of Dragoon, but ultimately, I think it would prove too costly. It's a large game to remake, and despite a vocal fanbase not particularly popular. Would love Sony to actually make JRPGs again though, imagine if this started a whole new franchise for them.

Sony remaking Metal Gear in a similar vein to Resident Evil would be huge. I'm not sure you go as far as the PSP games, but I think starting with Metal Gear Solid, then hitting Metal Gear Solid 2-4 and then Metal Gear 1 and 2 makes sense to me.

The question is how to approach remaking the game though with modern gameplay.

Metal Gear Solid came out 2.5 years after Resident Evil and 8 months after Resident Evil, outselling both games individually. It was definitely one of the biggest pillar games for PS1.

But out of the 7 million people who bought it on PS1, how big could the game be now?

There probably isn't a higher profile remake they could take on, but they do have a decision to make as to whether to do a faithful remake.

Its making me wonder why sony took MGS 4, and MGS HD collection off of PS Now. 🧐 Something could be planned

Metal Gear Solid 1.

Shadow Moses Island re-imagined as a massive sandbox where you can do and approach things however you like (think Ground Zeroes but obviously keep the story beats). I think if it's 1:1 it'll be boring and not work.

Please and thank you.
