Over the past few years, the idea of recreating some of its favorite properties in a once new, modern iteration on the PlayStation may be entertaining to use today’s technology. The information came from a former Sony employee who recently started talking a bit about some of the mysterious works he did in his time at a PlayStation studio.
Speaking with David Jaffe, as the previous director of the title God of war And Twisted metal, The former head of Sony San Diego studios, Michael Mumbaure, had a bit of a developer role when he was there. At first Mumbai’s main position was to lead a visual arts group that would support other Sony studios, but over time, this began to change.
Mumbaur explained that during Shawn Laden’s tenure as head of SIE Worldwide Studios, the one-time boss was very interested in finding remakes and remisters of existing hardware. Mumbaur drew special attention Crash Bandicoot en San Trilogy An example of such a project that helped Led clearly rolling the ball. The initiative led to a major overhaul of Sony overall, Mumbai explained, adding that Sony then put together a new development team in San Diego to further the venture.
“Remixes and remixes were the things I would pursue later. That is why the Dev team was formed, ”Mumbai said in a conversation. “All I can tell you is that I was chasing because I think it’s worth doing something like a remake. God of war On visual fidelity today. Or, a remake of Helpless 1 On visual fidelity today. ”
It is worth noting that Mumbai never made it clear that their team at Sony San Diego Studios started the right work on any kind of PlayStation remake. Instead, he just notes that it was something he was looking at a lot at one time. It is also uncertain if Mumbaur was just used God of war And Unbearable As a generalization example of a possible remake or if there are assets in which he would have actively considered retrieving.
If at some point this was something that Sony would be relocating to San Diego, it doesn’t seem like it anymore. Although Mumbaur is no longer with the studio, the Secret Dev team, which still exists and is made up of about 200 people, is said to be working on an unknown new title now. Some have theorized that this could be a project Helpless 5Is, but this has yet to be proven true.
Overall, it’s very interesting to know that PlayStation would have seriously looked at some big remakes like this a few years ago. When the title is like Medieville, The shadow of vastness, And Parappa the rapper Would have been remade or remastered, it would be interesting to see the same treatment given some more prominent titles.
So what do you think Are you down to see more remakes and remisters of some of the popular PlayStation games from Yatirier to get a return on the PS5? As always, you can give me your thoughts in the comments or on Twitter from above Moorman 12.
