Sony have a reputation now, multiplayer and RPGs don't fit into that. I don't think people would trust Sony to put out a game of their usual high quality in those genres and besides we have so many of them from other devs anyway.i dunno about that. GG made a massive transition from KZ to H:ZD. and that was very well received. same with GoW. I think transitions can be fine.
Buying more devs who are well known with these genres would work but their current studios should stick with what they're currently doing, its immensley successful.
...but getting into new genres should necessarily come as the expense of have a high quality studio keep doing their great work. my problem with sony right now is if you list their top games this generation:
- uncharted
- TLoU
- horizon
- GoW
- days gone
- GoT
- spider man
...you see a lot of third person open world games. it's a great genre to be working in but i feel like it's over represented in sony's first party. they need a bit more variety.
