We are 3 days away from January 1st so what are 3 games you wish PlayStation reveals next year? Mine are:

- BluePoint new game and it's an rpg
- Sly remake
- Infamous remaster

I mention BP over any other studio because I'm not expecting something specific from studios like Santa Monica or Housemarque but I do from BP. I know it's wrong to expect specific things but I really dig the concept art PS Malaysia was working on and in theory they are working with BP so whenever they show what is next I'm in for a great time or a big disappointment LOL, if it's an rpg or not would be only a plus. But hey at least I'm not part of the people who for some reason think they are working in a Dragoon remake, a Dragoon remake would be cool but they maid it very clear long ago that they were working in something new.

Talking about Sly and Infamous, I just love those 2 franchises and I believe they have a good chance to appeal if remade/remaster.

Just so my list can be different, I won't include a Sly remake/remaster, because that would absolutely be in my top 3 lol. Instead my list would be

- SOCOM return
- Santa Monica's new IP by Cory Barlog
- WipeOut return

Outside of Counter-Strike, the tactical shooter genre is pretty untapped with niche but dedicated playerbases with the likes of ARMA, Squad, Insurgency, and Hell Let Loose, but most importantly, they're all only multiplayer. Tom Clancy games used to own the single player tactical shooter genre, but Ubisoft has buried that entire franchise. SOCOM was really the only other notable tactical shooter franchise, and with Sony continuing their live service ambitions, I feel SOCOM would be able to scratch a serious tactical itch that reaches to both single player and multiplayer audiences. 

Been constantly leaked that Cory Barlog has been working on a new IP for years now and I feel 2025 is the year we'll finally get the unveil. Cory is one of the few named developers I'll always follow.

WipeOut is flat out my favorite PlayStation franchise. So this is complete dream wishing but been playing a lot of the Omega collection and been dropping into the OG trilogy as well as Pure/Pulse on PC emulators, and I would love to have a brand-new entry. Could also work on Sony's live service ambitions lol. Variety is the spice of life after all.
