For everyone saying “Sony has lots of IPs”:
>*”According to him, whether it’s for games, films or anime, the entertainment giant doesn’t have much IP that it fostered from the beginning. He finds that Sony is lacking the “early phase” of IP, which has been an issue for the company.*
>
>*Totoki’s statement may seem odd at first, given PlayStation’s long list of IPs, he is referring to the company as a whole, which is involved in other mediums of entertainment, such as film and anime. However, he did single out games along with the other two mediums, likely due to the recent Concord debacle.*”
Jersey Devil remake incoming.
They have plenty of IP, they just refuse to use 75% of it
SOCOM for fucks sake.
Bullshit.
Twisted Metal, Sly Cooper, Killzone, Resistance, Bloodborne, SOCOM… they have a bunch of IPs just sitting idly and they are interested in soulless corporate slop.
Knack 3 incoming!
bullshit, where is Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Ultimate? /s
everyone has already said everything so…
Lack of IP isn’t their problem.
I mean, I can sorta understand, though he’s presenting a rather head scratching mentality.
One, if he wants Playstation to be known for more than the console you buy for single player games. He’d be spot on in his assessment that Playstation lacks in this regard. Which would be the big reason why they acquired Bungie and Firewalk. But this starts to go down the road Xbox has been treading.
Two, he doesn’t see that the titles they offer have long term investments after a trilogy. Which is a toss up argument. For example, would someone really want 8 Horizon titles? Or would they rather have 8 new unique titles?
Like I said, this is a real head scratching statement for him to make.
Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe you dumbasses shouldn’t have canceled Factions for this shit.
Didn’t Astro Bot, one of the year’s highest-rated games, come out today?
Sony could do remasters for the next 10 years a get hella rich but ohh no…why right?
Should had made Concord a better game.
Jak and Daxter is the most abandoned IP for absolutely no reason.
At least Sly Cooper got an entry on the PS3. Jak and Daxter disappeared and didn’t even get a chance.
How about a Killzone collection on Steam?
SOCOM
Siphon Filter
Killzone
Resistance
The Order
Any game of these franchises brought back would be huge.
I find that most original IP nowadays are on the same par of writing as early 2010s Sonic the Hedgehog OC. In fact, there were many on YouTube that are probably better. The writers they hire are clearly lacking somewhere, there was no appeal to Concords aesthetic at all, nor the characters.
They literally released a game today that shows all of their IPs. (Astro Bot)
Socom
Guy who’s responsible says it can’t be helped and certainly not his fault. Who saw that coming.
Guys, he’s talking about Sony as a whole, not just video games.
a modern jak and daxter would be sick. I don’t want a remake, I want a reboot.
Knack.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot Knack 2. Knack is back.
LITTLE BIG PLANET FAT PRINCESS PLSSS
All they had to do is to remake Resistance, Killzone or SOCOM. Or atleast create a new IP that follow those game models instead of chasing Overwatch trends.
No way.
I hardly noticed 27 remasters, 13 remasters of those remasters and 18 sequels.
Prolly should just rererereremaster last of us again
Last of Us Multi game was fucking cancelled and all i hear about for weeks is this fucking failure….
Why did you go all in on ~~David Pumpkins~~ Concord?
Convinced no one in this thread even read the article before commenting lol
Just hire me, I have some really good ideas trust me
These morons at the top pay absolutely no attention to what we’ve been screaming at them for years. How disconnected do you have to be to walk yourself into a 100+ million dollar loss when it could have easily been avoided.
We’ve wanted a sequel to Bloodborne and a PC port for years, hell they are sitting on a gold mine of old IP’s that they let sit dormant for no reason.
Just remaster killzone and infamous. You’ll be set for another 3 years on income.
Guys guys give them some slack there a very small indie studio that’s got barely any IPs
SOCOM
Sony has been ignoring their fans for like 25 years now… this is just the FIRST time it’s come back to really bite them. It won’t be the last.
The film unit is worse.
This is an insane comment to make in terms of Playstation.
Concord was just another hero shooter.
They have *ridiculous* amounts of money, and all they can do to be “original” is to jump on a trend and do it so absurdly poorly as to end up right at the bottom of the heap on day one?
You could take a tiny fraction of the money you wasted on that dog, and use it to try and do something new and fun with a modest budget that has room to *become* an Original IP that you’ll then destroy.
Big corps can’t think on a small scale. Everything is so bloated on the way out the door, it costs 50 times what it should, and is utterly generic.
Still waiting for more Heavenly Sword…
You can tell reading comprehension is an issue for many. He’s not saying they are lacking gaming IPs, he’s saying in all their fields (movies, tv and games) they don’t have many IPs they developed from the beginning of each branch.
Two points:
(1) The article is authored by Muhammad Ali Bari, who has an insane number of burner accounts on Reddit promoting his writing
(2) **Hiroki Totoki is talking about today**. Whether it’s anime, films or games, Sony’s chief financial officer believes they must be more invested creating original IP.
