10 Dormant PlayStation Franchises That Sony Should Revive -- CLS Side Quest
Since launching the original PlayStation in late 1994, Sony has funded and published scores upon scores of games from franchises it owns outright. Not surprisingly, most Sony IP has fallen dormant over the years -- time does that -- but with the company’s well-established emphasis on quality exclusives, there are series in PlayStation’s past that the Sony would be wise to revisit. This video, as voted on by CLS Patrons, is dedicated to 10 such franchises, why they should come back, and how they might fit in the modern gaming ecosystem. After all, we haven’t heard from some of these series in nearly two decades.
