No please, leave original GoW alone, a reboot would only ruin it

We already have a reboot, GoW 2018. It is a nice looking game, but not even close to GoW 1/2/CoO/GoS/3, when it comes to story, gameplay, bosses and overall fun while playing the game.
I really don't want the originals being re-envisioned. A proper collection with the whole saga on one console would be amazing though, and no, GoW 2018 is not a part of that.

Exclusive: A Deeper Look at the PlayStation 5

Now that the name is official, we've got more details about Sony's next-gen console—from the haptics-packed controller to UI improvements.

www.wired.com

"We're working on a big one right now," says Marco Thrush, president of Bluepoint Games, which most recently worked on last year's PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus. "I'll let you figure out the rest."

That doesn't mean they're not exploring. "The SSD has me really excited," Thrush says. "You don't need to do gameplay hacks anymore to artificially slow players down—lock them behind doors, anything like that. Back in the cartridge days, games used to load instantly; we're kind of going back to what consoles used to be."

A big one?

I can't really think of anything that's bigger than SotC that deserves a remake (I love Soulsborne, but I don't think Demon Souls is what they're making)...

Maybe it's the rumored GTA 3?

Either that or Ratchet and Clank trilogy

From his comments it definitely sounds the game they're working on has an open world element to it or is an older game that was hampered by load times in entering and exiting rooms (Silent Hill?). I'm assuming that the game is a Playstation exclusive?

 

[Ozrimandias]

Demons Souls Remake, We are ready
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended.
So the world might be mended

 

[T-Cake]

A big one? And in line with PlayStation classics? It's got to be Metal Gear Solid.

 

[NeonDelta]

I really hope it's metal gear solid. It really needs it

 

[decisions]

The way they are talking about it makes me think it's Dark Souls but I really hope it's Devil May Cry 3.

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

I have a feeling it won't be Demon's Souls but then again, I don't know what else it would be.

 

[Digity]

The way they are talking about it makes me think it's Dark Souls but I really hope it's Devil May Cry 3.

I can assure you it won’t be Devil May Cry 3 lol. MGS or Legend Of Dragoon lets go!

 

[decisions]

I can assure you it won’t be Devil May Cry 3 lol. MGS or Legend Of Dragoon lets go!

You can assure me it won't be DMC3 but you think it's going to be Legend of Dragoon? lol

 

[KOMANI]

I now think that it’s definitely Demon Souls.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I now think that it’s definitely Demon Souls.

Why is that?

I'm expecting to be disappointed.

 

[KOMANI]

Why is that?

I'm expecting to be disappointed.

Because it’s a Sony IP, and they’re very proud of showcasing past games of their library like Medievil, Shadow, Crash, FF7. Even though there are exclusive Metal Gears to the Sony platform, I think the franchise feels less like a Sony title since subsistence came out on xbox first, mgsv being multi platform, nintendo having twin snakes & mgs3D.
Also they were looking for sword and shield 3D artists a few years back.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Yeah, it's definitely not gonna be Demon's Souls.

Most likely GTA 3 or Metal Gear Solid. I'm just glad they're still working with Sony. I hope Sony bought their studio!

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

MGS4 on modern platform(s) would be a great service to humanity.

 

[Digity]

You can assure me it won't be DMC3 but you think it's going to be Legend of Dragoon? lol

Thing is, ones a good game and the other is Devil May Cry 3

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

MGS4 on modern platform(s) would be a great service to humanity.

As much as I love MGS4, I think it's best that it stays as it is because 1) the game is purely made for fanservice and concluding an epic saga and 2) the game already plays well on the PS3 but envisioning it will be difficult without consulting Hideo Kojima which knew what the original vision was (it was a very ambitious game before reality kicked in about the potential and limitations of the PS3 hardware).

 

[Birdo]

recently worked on last year's PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus. "I'll let you figure out the rest."

To me, that says ICO.

He basically used SOTC as a hint.

What if the "re envisioning" is just touching up the graphics and performance? That shouldn't affect the vision too much. I understand this goes against the spirit of what Blue Point is claiming, though. Re envisioning sounds ambitious, as if they are taking an old favorite and really bringing it into the modern era.

 

[demigod]

I'm going with Syphon Filter. They can remake it and then Bend Studios can work on a sequel.

 

[ManaByte]

They're remaking The Last Guardian on PS5 so it has a framerate.

Ico is a pre-order bonus.

 

[Digity]

That would be awesome if this happened as well.

That's exactly what I was thinking too: re-envisioning really gives us an idea of what game it could be. In other words, which game would be better re-envisioned by a developer that never worked on the franchise before, but have great ideas to improve on? My money is on GTA3, MGS, or a game that would resonate heavily with PlayStation gamers. I just can't think of another title other than those two. It won't be Demon's Souls, that's for sure.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It is probably going to be a first party Sony IP since it is only for the PS5.

 

[DeepEnigma]

To me, that says ICO.

He basically used SOTC as a hint.

They also said it was a bigger undertaking (or to that effect) originally, and I don't see ICO bigger than SotC even though it feels like a hint.

Unless they meant due to being PS5 and pushing the graphical showcase up.

I'm going with Syphon Filter. They can remake it and then Bend Studios can work on a sequel.

Day's Gone was in the Syphon Filter universe as well, so... maybe.

 

[Ellis]

Terra Incognita

 

[Roufianos]

A re-imagining of Demon's Souls by someone other than From? Wishful thinking, more likely it's an older game like MGS.

 

[Danjin44]

Hopefully.....

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Ape Escape.

 

[chaseroni]

Hoping for Demon's Souls, MGS or Jak and Daxter

 

[Perrott]

Jason Schreier already confirmed that Demon's Souls Remake is on the way and Bluepoint it's the only studio that I think it's capable of bringing it back.

 

[Digity]

Hoping for Demon's Souls, MGS or Jak and Daxter

A reimagined Jak and Daxter would be amazing on ps5.

 

[Jigsaah]

Hmmm...a big one...

Based on previous works, can we agree that it'll be a single player game? Shadow of the Colossus was a PS2 game correct? So let's assume it's PS2 era game. What's one of the biggest games in the PS2 era? I'm also going to guess the game is going to be based on a Sony owned studio as SotC was developed by SCE Japan originally.

So, games that come to mind that are single player PS2 games originally created by a Sony Studio.

Here are some guesses and logic behind why they will or won't be remastered by Bluepoint:
1. God of War - nope...it's been remastered already, by bluepoint no less.
2. Uncharted - also been remastered, by bluepoint
3. Twisted Metal - seems unlikely. Not epic enough.
4. Ratchet and Clank? Jak and Daxter? Insomniac was just bought by Sony...I would think Bluepoint began work on this new game prior to the acquisition...so probably not.

I'm stumped.

What about the first two InFAMOUS games?

 

[it_wasn't_me]

My vote is Demon's Souls. Also Bluepoint is probably a next Sony's target. Same crap happened few months ago.

Cerny talked about Spider-man loading for PS5-----Insomniac was bought
Now Bluepoint developing a PS5 exclusive-----possible acquisition?

EDIT :

just saw on other forum that Jason Schreier voted for Demon's Souls. Hm.....

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Gran Turismo 2 with the 800 cars...

 

[Trogdor1123]

Really? Link please!

 

[KAL2006]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but I would want them to bring back

Twisted Metal 2

I preferred this than Black and PS4, more colorful. Liked the World Tour theme.

They can also add guest characters like a fighter to bring wider appeal.
Nathan Drake in a Jeep
Helghast in a Helghan Tank
Aloy on a Broadhead
Ratchet in Microns Ship

 

[Jigsaah]

What about the first two InFAMOUS games?

I feel like those don't really need a remaster. I'd have to go back and play them but I'd imagine they would be less work for Bluepoint. Shadow of the Colussus was a masterpiece remaster...I'd figure since they are saying it's a "big one" that it might be something more of a challenge.

 

[Lux R7]

If it's a re-envisioning it's not Demons's Souls imho.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Twisted metal.

davidjaffe please confirm

 

[mejin]

Damn, PS5 already got one ahead of PS4.

 

[Nightrunner]

If it's a re-envisioning it's not Demons's Souls imho.

Maybe they significantly reworked Demon's Souls? New content, larger movesets for enemies/bosses, more features from the newer entries and so on. I wonder if fans of DeS will be happy if that is the case.

If thats the case, I rather FROM themselves handle that remake rather than BluePoint.

Really? Link please!

On other forum in "which game Bluepoint is developing for PS5" he have voted for Demon's Souls and also he said that Demon's Souls is in the works 8 months ago :

Think we’ll ever get a Demon Souls remaster?

It’s the one Souls game I never got a chance to finish and don’t have a PS3 anymore.

Not sure bluepoint is capable of adding content to Demon souls. They do some great work, but changing bosses movesets and creating new content would probably be a bit much.

 

[Shakka43]

Think I'm gonna go with a Silent Hill remake. Konami might want to get something out of the IP while it still holds some value. They filing a trademark for it recently gives me hopes for this.

Resident Evil 2 Remake Remake confirmed
