They both have huge nostalgia appeal esp to people whose last console was a PS1 which is what made Crash remakes such a success
That's what Sony will be looking for

That's what Sony will be looking for
What's pointing to a Demon Souls remake? All I've seen is speculation
They've tried to revive Twisted Metal and it didn't work. I don't think we'll ever see the series again. Car combat just isn't really big anymore and gaming seems to have kind of grown past mid-90s forced-edginess.
I would be surprised if Twisted Metal isn't a franchise they revive for PSVR2. I expect at least a few dormant PlayStation IPs to get a spotlight there.
Why doesn't Sony reboot Legend of Dragoon? It's pretty crazy how often it comes up in threads like this. Sony's sitting on so many IPs.
Twisted Metal will definitely be back in some form at some point, (maybe not with Jaffe involved). The 2012 game did a lot of great things but had some serious issues, but reviving it as some kind of ongoing FTP could work, maybe even a Killer Instinct formula.
But the series at its best was never "forced edginess", but like an irreverent Twilight Zone-type thing, whether it's the more over-the-top TM 2 version, or the dark horror TM Black vibe.
Probably because Legend of Dragoon wasn't very good. It doesn't help that Sony doesn't care about the RPG genre, so reviving any of their massive graveyard of abandoned RPG franchises seems unlikely at this point.
I mean if their developers want to make new things, why not? If there's a team willing to take it on, depending on the desire, budget and market interest, they'll do it. Same happened with Sly Cooper and Twisted Metal.
I just don't think the gaming audience has any interest in a multiplayer-only car combat game in the current era. Maybe if they tried to do it F2P-style like Rocket League, but as a full priced $60 retail product? Nah.
When did he come out and say it was in development. Or are you talking about where he simply answered yes in a thread asking if people think the game will get remade?
Yeh that's what I'm basing it on, hinting would have been a better word for it. He would have qualified, considering the reaction, if it was just his own speculation and not based on any inside knowledge. Also him voting in this poll is another sign. Then again he could just be messing with folk.
Or he could just think it will happen someday and not have any knowlege of it actually being in development now.
because it was a bad game that failed to light the charts on fire back when that style of game was at the height of its popularity. today, the demand for that style of game is low and the cost of producing it at the fidelity expected today is orders of magnitude higher than it was back then. the calculus should be fairly simple
Yeah maybe not a full $60 release. Some other F2P-type format could be really good though. Either way it's not what Bluepoint's doing, no matter how much I'd want that.
I thought I was over this. I'm not.
Someone save me from this hell, plz.
Kaz...do something !
It's very unlikely that Sony has access to Demons Souls assets and source code. From Soft is not first party and uses their own propietary engine.
Sony owns the game, and don't Souls games use Sony's PhyreEngine?
Demon's Souls did. I don't think Dark Souls continued to use Phyre but it may have.
Jason must be pissing himself to death with all the material he's got on this thread
*Era users: LEGEND OF DRAGOON*
*Me*
Uh? Sony owns that IP, not From. Why wouldn't they have access to the assets and source code that they own?
edit:
Sony co-produced that and owns all of the IP. Of course they have the source code.
Haha! I personally want a restored sixth arch stone, but I LOVE this point of view. It totally makes sense to feel this way.
But for me, if the base game is faithful to the original, I'd be fine with them doing whatever they want beyond the sixth arch stone just to see what they can bring to the table.
If it's screwed up, fans will just look at that extra shit as non-canon anyways.
The game binary yes, that does not necesarily means the source.
About Phyre I don't know, I don't see From in the list of companies that use that engine on Wikipedia, the flexible license could mean they can use it no string attached.
It's just speculation on my part but the fact that neither Demons Souls nor Bloodborne have been updated since From stopped working on them leads me to believe so.
Souls games never used Phyre. It's all their own proprietary engine.
When Bamco can let a studio remaster DS1, Sony can surely let Bluepoint do the same to Demon's.
I love that Socom is in the standing.
It has to be either Legend of Dragoon, or Socom. And a bit more unlikely... Metal Gear Solid or Demon Souls. I think itll be one of the first two.

From did the game working as a contractor, Sony owns the binary but if they would own the source that would mean that they also own From's engine.
Just speculation, but Demons has not been ported to PS4 and Bloodborne has not been updated since From moved to other projects, which leads me to believe that's the case.
It's probably Demon's Souls, but man, it would be wild if they brought back Syphon Filter. Especially in this day and age where Metal Gear Solid is in a state of flux and Splinter Cell would just be a microtransaction-filled shell of its former self were it to return now.
Syphon Filter with the same mission structure as the original and some deep stealth mechanics would go down a real treat.

Demon's hasn't been ported because unlike Dark Souls that game needed a centralized server to run. Not having that server on and running breaks the game. World tendency breaks, summons don't work, can't leave messages, etc. Dark Souls is P2P so it doesn't matter.
Sony only turned off the PS3 server for Demon's last year in 2018.
I cannot see this happening because God of War 2 is likely in development as a sequel to the 2018 game. I bet it appears at E3 by 2021 or 2022.
It doesn't have to be traditional RPG. They could do something in a style somewhat similar to Nier Automata in terms of gameplay and it would be awesome, since it also kinda fits with the premise of the game.
Sony has access to assets, source codes, audio files, animations, propietary engine access, intellectual property, etc.
That's what happens when you have publishing rights and own an IP in its entirety.
Sony decides what happens with Demon Souls / Bloodborne.
Demons was published by Atlus in USA and Namco in Europe though.
How would that fit at all? You have a whole party of people to manage. Hack and slash would be terrible for something like that. 50+ hours of just mashing an attack button = no thanks. Especially not with that story attached to it.
