Here's hoping this is a sign of a potential new Gravity Rush game for PS5. I'd love to see what they can do with a SSD.
Sony should outsource it to Toyama's Bokeh Game Studio. The only open-world game I truly enjoyed traversing.

Really Sony? So you kill Patapon for like a decade and now you bring it back after there is interest in the spiritual successor?

Was just about to add myself: the original Patapon creators are currently busy working on Ratatan, the spiritual successor that went through a successful Kickstarter not even half a year ago.

Would you’d rather they’d continue doing nothing with the series like most publishers do with dormant series?
Not to mention both series are not coming out in the same day if and when they come out so they’re not going to get in each other’s way.

I would have preferred for them to not kill the series in the first place. Bringing it back now just feels scummy imo especially since the creators are gone. There are plenty of series they can bring back but they chose this one now and it is pretty clear why. Not too different from Konami putting out those Suikoden remasters when people started getting interested in their spiritual successor as well.

If the games weren’t selling well which as far I can tell they weren’t underperforming or they had no idea of what to do with the games after the death of the PSP they were never going to just keep making games after 3. And that’s fine especially when you remember all the series that people complain about because their publishers keep pumping out titles so often over a period time it feels redundant.

This is the way franchises work and have worked for generations. Not to mention fangames based off existing properties are made without the involvement or even the blessing of the original creators but no one calls those scummy.

I mean they could but just because there are people who want to see new entries for stuff like PaRappa, Jak & Daxter, Twisted Metal, and bunch of the stuff from the 1,2, & PSP doesn’t mean it’s that simple to do.

Companies are going to put out remasters and rereleases of their stuff regardless of whether someone is putting out a knockoff/spiritual successor title like their games but on an obviously smaller budget.
