This, I agree. We are having the same circular discussions too.

I've paid that for games that are way fucking worse. Bluepoints SOTC remake is some of the best money I've ever spent. Remake Ico, Remake the TLG and Remake SOTC again for all I give a shit. I'll buy them ALL, day 1, full price and be ecstatic about it.

That tweet looks like they're having fun and fishing for interest. I don't see the problem.

Didn't Bluepoint say they'd have something to share soon.....like a year ago with their christmas card?
What happened to that?

Probably dead since it looks like Boozer has aged up 20-30 years.

I think demon's souls remake ls unbelievably good but I also believe the style of the graphics didn't follow the style that from software did originally.
So I'd be concerned if the game looks too cartoony/colourful or something.

Bluepoint is one of my favorite teams out there right now, but playing with people’s expectations won’t go over well. Now if you don’t mind, I am going to continue dreaming of a Legend of Dragoon remake.

Sony 1st Party post BB does not make me desire new IPs from Bluepoint. I rather remakes of certified classics like DeS and SotC. Especially when the amount of good remaster/remake studios is not big these days.
That would be pretty cool. But Sony likely does not want to risk outrage by the usual suspects by bringing edgy pulp GoW back. Especially now that they got their seal of approval for that cleaned up, shallow sad dad narrative.

Something came from it, no? Demon's Souls remake. I see people discussing this tweet on Reddit from 3 years ago with some hoping that it signifies work on DS (while others hope for other games hidden here).
Nobody in their right mind can expect them to remake all of the games they namedropped in this tweet.

Tired of the prolonged teases. Reveal something or don't. They did nearly the exact same thing last year and still nothing came of it.
Looking back at this we can make some more recent assumptions/conclusions
It suggested there are 2 games listed here rather than 1
Assuming that the rumors only start after the word "shadow", we can make reference to at least the following titles:
Resistance - Maybe a remaster collection as I'll reference below
Legend of Dragoon - Peter Dalton said in 2019 that he loved the game and that maybe it should be a project
Ape Escape - I just find this entirely unlikely
Demon's Souls - Maybe a sequel, which is more than likely I think
Syphon Filter - Would be a great thing, but very difficult to do, has to be a reboot as a simple remake wouldn't do
Shadow of the Colossus - Not sure what they would do with this on its own but the game didn't receive a patch
Metal Gear Solid - Would probably be the highest profile title they could do from this list
ICO (Eco-Friendly) - See SotC
Other notables
Collection - They could be doing a collection of games. So maybe they would do an ICO/SOTC remaster collection, maybe even including Last Guardian. Which makes sense because neither of those games were patched for PS5 and ICO was never remade for PS4, but that's 3 games, so I don't think this would be the case when the rumor suggests 2. A Resistance remaster collection probably makes more sense.
FromSoftware - "Soft from Solid is likely a reference to Solid Snake and Metal Gear Solid, but it could also be a very vague reference to Bloodborne"
The things in bold I think are the most likely.
Ranked by likelihood I'd say
Demon's Souls 2
Bloodborne
Resistance
Metal Gear Solid
Shadow of the Colossus
ICO
Last Guardian
Twisted Metal
Ape Escape
Syphon Filter
Legend of Dragoon
Silent Hill

Shit, I remember that now you've said.Tired of the prolonged teases. Reveal something or don't. They did nearly the exact same thing last year and still nothing came of it.

I mean with the combination of:
1 - Metal Gear is very important historically to PlayStation
2 - Konami outsourcing its IP
3 - Bluepoint having worked on the Metal Gear Solid Collection
4 - The success of the Resident Evil 2 Remake
Based on RE2 remake coming out 3 years ago you could say we're overdue a remake of MGS, but that's also exciting if it is a PS5 exclusive rather than cross-gen.
I could totally see Sony funding this game and developing this game on behalf of Konami for exclusivity. With investment in a MGS movie underway, it also makes a lot of sense. Especially with Sony Pictures/Columbia distributing, though PlayStation Productions does not appear to be involved.

You're all wrong. It's Legend of Dragoon Remake PS5 exclusive.

Not a fan of Bluepoint's remakes personally. The remasters they do are good though.
Sony doesn’t own the Castlevania IP so it’s near impossible that it will be that or any other IP they don’t own.

Sony doesn't own the Spider-Man IP either... yet here we are, about to get our 3rd Spider-Man game from Sony...

Thinking of a buttery smooth 60FPS, 4K HDR, no/reduced chromatic aberration and some cleverly used RT, remaster of Bloodborne is something almost impossible to resist, even of I have the original and know it is perfectly playable on ps5. In part because having a remaster released would repopulate the servers and the fun would start all over again!
I miss random co-op in random chalice dungeons, it was always a "new" unknown area with corners to explore.

Bluepoint is the one company im fine with only doing remakes and remasters. I honestly don’t care about them doing an original IP.
They’re welcome to prove me wrong though.

Yeah, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. This is probably just a nice Christmas image they knocked together.

With an unopened box next to the other opened boxes for games they worked on. It's not massive, but still a slight tease of something to come when it's finally unwrapped.

What time is it?
Pretty much where I'm at. They are the gold standard for remakes and remasters. But I can understand if they have creative ambitions beyond that type of work.

Bloodborne 2 Might Be in Bluepoint's Hands, and That's a Good Thing
Rumors are pointing to Bluepoint Games as the developer of Bloodborne 2, and if that’s true, then the game will probably impress.

I'm hoping for a Bloodborne remake with their "original content" project being Bloodborne 2. We'll see.

Why so people can whine about them remaking a game already available to play on ps4 again?

There's gotta be a reason we never got a 60fps patch, that'll be the main selling point.
