Forums - Sony - PS4: A list of classic series I want to see brought back in 8th Gen.

I have owned every Sony console since PS1 (and yes, I am also speaking about the PSP and the PSVita own them as well) and I have done a substantial amount of gaming through the years basking in what anyone who has owned a Sony console will tell you is the great lore of the almighty PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVE. The 7th Gen saw a myriad of brilliant, genre-bending, graphical-leap hurdling, uniquely brilliant exclusives with the likes of the Uncharted series, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Journey, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 (and Ascension), Little Big Planet, Infamous series, Killzone series, Ratchet & Clank series,  Gran Tourismo 5,  and absolutely masterpiece-looking two titles set to be released later this year THE LAST OF US and BEYOND: TWO SOULS!!!

But there are several franchises and games that were only on Playstation that I would love seeing a triumphant return in the 8th gen of consoles. And here they are. Feel free to name any that you would like Sony to bring back as well.

FEAR EFFECT (Still one of my all-time favorite game series....and yes, I am aware Sony doesn't own the title)

SYPHON FILTER

PARASITE EVE (Also one of my favorites...CLEARLY! lol) 

TENCHU

THE BOUNCER (YES! THAT THE BOUNCER! So much potential...)

ONIMUSHA 

PARAPPA THE RAPPER

DESTRUCTION DERBY 

THE GETAWAY (or 8 DAYS ...make one of em please!) 

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE (Yes, full-fledged REMAKE not just HD port) 

XENOGEARS

PRIMAL

CHRONO CROSS

JET MOTO

HEAVENLY SWORD 2!!!!

CRASH BANDICOOT (Work out a deal with the COD gang and get it done!)

SOUL REAVER

TOBAL

APE ESCAPE

FULL METAL ALCHEMIST (THE FIGHTING GAME VERSION!!!) 

VICTORIOUS BOXERS

ALUNDRA

(I would have put Jak & Daxter but Naughty Dog is on such a roll right now I don't want them to stop pushing forward. I wanna see what new brilliant IPs they can give us next Gen...and of course I want Uncharted 4 too lol)

CAPS LOCK MAN, PRESS IT

anyways i would be really happy if just crash came back



You listed some GREAT games and brought back plenty of memories! For me I would like to see either NEW re-makes or new entries all together of games like:

Xenosaga
Parasite Eve
Bloody Roar
Vagrant Story
Legend of Dragoon(I have been waiting FOREVER for this one)
Final Fantasy VIII(I am in the minority but it was my favorite FF game)
Chrono Cross
Vandal Hearts
The Bouncer(yeah I loved that game too just like you!)
Onimusha(A very underrated series!)
Def Jam(Like part 1 and Vendetta were not that TRASH that was rap star or whatever it was called)
Legend of Legaia(I loved the two that came out...part one more than 2)

And LOTS of others but I will leave it at those few for now...man they can pull out some great stuff and have a library to do it!

Onimusha, definitely. I loved the crazy atmosphere of that game. Another Heavenly Sword would be very nice. I also want BloodRayne 3, damn it.

I would also beat 3/4ths of my relatives with a bag of cats for a PS4 Valkyria Chronicles or Suikoden.

I'm with you on all of your picks, man. Vagrant Story was great. And yes, The Bouncer was one of the titles I bought at launch of the PS2 (along with Tekken Tag Tournament and Madden) and remember being absolutely floored by the graphics and cinematic storytelling. I was in love with that game. Sion Barzhad was such a great character. HE SHOULD BE ON PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS!! haha Sure, the combat could get repetitive but the potential of that game was staggering. I could only imagine how great that game could be if it was given another shot to correct the things it stumbled on a bit and maximize all the brilliant things it did.

*Sigh* Guess I can dream haha

Not one? Man but he really did list some GREAT games though! And they are contstantly bringing out new ips...just look at Beyond Two Souls and The Last Of Us...I wouldn't mind them bringing back some oldies and revamping some series a lot of us grew up on and loved. They have the library where they could do it pretty easy! It would be fun and is a good dream indeed lol.

my problem with existing IPs is they come with baggage.  fans expect certain things to exist and exist in a certain way. new IPs have more freedom to innovate, imo.  i kind of feel like every IP should have 3 games.  introduce, improve, perfect.  ..then move on to the next big thing.

dunno, just my view.  ...and yes, i will buy uncharted 4 and killzone shadow fall ect.  it just that franchises like rachet and clank have gotten stale imo.  i'd rather it had ended on the top of it's game than to watch it deteriorate.



Vigilante 8
Onimusha
die hard trilogy ( but added with the next 2 films)
