Gravity Rush director Keiichiro Toyama interested in making a new Gravity Rush game and seeing Sony port the franchise to PC
- Thread starter RPGamer92
- Start date
The Last Guardian was a prestige project that started within Sony and Sony published it themselves, though. It's not quite the same thing as them going "here Bokeh you can have this license have fun".
I just don't think Toyama has the level of cultural cachet within Sony that the Silent Hill fanbase thinks he does. Especially not for a franchise that failed to get off the ground three times in a row.
Who do you think would fund any new games/port
Sure as hell aint going to be Sony
License, outsource. Whatever. Sony could still publish it.
Whose funding Slitterhead?
I consider this the last "Weird Sony" game to ever be released. They just kinda stopped making them after that.As much as I love Kat, the game that deserves port/another shot isn't GR.
It's this.
Pc ports would be fantastic. A third game though? I have no hope in this case actually. Ape Escape 4 is more a reality to me than GR3.
Don't play with my feelings... GR2 on PC would melt my mind. It already looked stunning on PS4 Pro.
I'll take a new game too, of course.

Sony did gave Tomorrow Children back to Q-Games but that was a way smaller game, so who knows. I respect his commitment to his work so I hope for the best.
Hey first we need the Siren games on PC, or at least Blood Curse playable on PS5. I'm starving out here! Gravity Rush is great, but it's a crime that Blood Curse is stuck on PS3.
I really think Sony didn't promote this game very effectively. Also, a new game should have someone in putting on the mission design. GR2 had incredible visuals, audio and mechanics, but the mission design was poor in parts, especially the terrible sections where you lose your powers.
Still this was easily one of the most charming games of the last gen and had such a great vibe. A new one on PS5 could look incredible.

I don't think any Gravity Rush fan thinks that the game has mainstream appeal.
It's just people like the franchise because it's good.
This. How was Siren 2 not ported to PlayStation 3 or 4? I bought the first one and Blood Curse.
The studio that owns the IP, who happens to NOT own Gravity Rush. They would have to go through Sony for that to happen, which would require SIE to have an iota of interest in the IP.
To be fair, Ueda came back with his new studio to finish The Last Guardian. It's not completely out of the norm.
The game had a ton of tie-ins with multiple games, had an OVA made by Studio Khara and was on literally every Sony conference with multiple trailers. People didn't buy it still. Can't really blame Sony marketing on this one.
The point is that Sony gave the series three chances, with increasingly high profile each time, and it failed every time. I don't see why they'd be willing to foot the bill for an externally-developed sequel to the franchise.
Of course Toyama would love the idea of making another one or porting it to PC, but it's just not gonna happen.
That's a different story because that was an in-development, extremely high-profile project that Sony clearly cared a TON about. Gravity Rush is not "the follow-up title to Shadow of the Colossus", it's a failed Vita IP that couldn't even increase its sales with a high-profile PS4 sequel.
Sony definitely don't give a shit
wasn't Popolocrois a Sony IP (though wasn't it also a comic?)? and that got a 3DS game
Death Stranding? Returnal?
If you mean "weird and small" then I 100% agree with you.
Popolocrois started as a manga and anime and the PS1 game was an adaptation. Sony doesn't own the original manga.
Why do you keep replying to me with points that I already addressed? Toyama and Bokeh have a strong relationship with Sony (who don't have a use for the IP anyway), so I don't see a groundbreaking issue here.
Bokeh Game Studio owns Slitterhead.
I thought GR1 was a rather mediocre game with an interesting concept and cool art, but I'll buy GR2 on PC, doubt it's gonna happen tho.
Realistically, I do not see a world in which Bokeh is able to secure enough independent funding to make a sequel to a dead franchise and then ALSO get Sony to give them the rights to make that game.
The series just does not have the kind of appeal to make this kind of scenario anywhere close to likely.
Those are weird in an AAA way. I respect those games a lot but games like Tokyo Jungle and Trash Panic have this "Weird import game" energy that Returnal and Death Stranding don't have.
If Sony didn't want to fund Japan Studio anymore, they definitely don't want to fund Gravity Rush. I personally hate saying that, but it is what it is.
Why do they need to fund it themselves?
He has his own studio right now and can make it himself. They can always lend the IP to him and he makes it however he needs.
I never saw much marketing in person, maybe they were marketing it more in Japan? They should have tried to push it more outside Japan.
