There's a lot to unpack here, but I am a bit surprised at the alleged decisions and direction Sony is going. https://twitter.com/verge/status/1380528756075462656

First, let's discuss the biggest one (which is currently trending on Twitter). A remake of TLOU. I love the first game, I think for a game released at the end of the PS3's lifespan, it has still aged very well.

I can see the argument for both sides of why they want to remake TLOU. On one hand, Sony clear wants its most profitable IPs to benefit from the next-gen hardware. On the other hand....TLOU is only seven years old.

But it makes sense given Sony is building momentum for the franchise: a successful sequel and a TV show currently on the way. TLOU has a ton of momentum going for it right now and Sony is capitalizing on it.

Bloomberg also notes that the alleged remake is part of a broader reorganization at PS's first-party studios and the struggling conflict with Sony's current foals of larger blockbuster-sized projects.

I think the report says a lot about what Sony is aiming for. They want big, system-selling games headlining their console. But I think this goal is going to hurt indie games as a whole.

In regards to the Days Gone thing, I know people that loved the game, to be honest, I thought it was ok. Not the best zombie game or open-world game, not the worst but it is a game that did stuff. But I think it deserved another shake just to see how it could improve.

It has become quite clear that the big three, particularly Microsoft and Sony are going in two very directions for their future in gaming.

Leaving this here to cap off this thread.
