E: I see that a thread about this article has already been posted. Could a mod close this one please?
Jason Schreier has a new article here with some insight into Sony's internal dev teams.
The biggest surprise to me is that they're remaking TLoU - the game isn't that old and doesn't need a remake, that seems bizarre to me. Make some new stuff!

Wow. I knew some fans (including me) weren't real pleased, but I didn't know things were uneasy in their studios. Surprised about that Bend news.
The idea of a Last of Us remake is absurd, and it still seems to be alive with ND helping out on it now. The PS4 remaster holds up perfectly fine.
Days Gone 2 getting killed is surprising as well considering it had a lot of potential for a sequel, and was profitable.

Somehow I'm not shocked at this report, we've seen many traits of late that reflect the old "arrogant Sony"

The idea that they are taking less risks and trying to deliver only "hits" is depressing by itself. Remaking TLOU is just absurd. Playstation wtf.
A Last of Us Remake is such a bewildering idea it's kind of fascinating. What was that pitch meeting like.
Remake of last of us? Who asked for this?
They have been funding new IPs in the last decade or so. Maybe now they are changing their strategy with sequels only and riskier projects will get lesser budgets. Not a fan of just doing sequels as with MS they basically nearly killed Halo and Gears by releasing too many sequels.

How this "news" relates to arrogant Sony?. In fact it relates to risk (metacritic) adverse Sony.
Maybe I'm crazy, but this doesn't really seem like Sony killing smaller studios, but Sony killing unnecessary projects.
Days Gone 2 is arguable, but a TLOU 1 remake? What for? It's one of the weirdest ideas I've heard, it's a game that sure, it's two gens away right now, but holds up 100%.

Why would you remake TLOU? It still looks great and would look even better with a PS5 patch to enable native 4K 60.
Not gonna lie...kinda crazy if the performance of DG for a new IP is not good enough to let the studio continue and work on a better sequel.
Damn.
Considering the profits Sony made last gen its bit weird how the trigger happy they are when it comes to shutdown studios or projects. Guess these games are considered a bad look nowadays compared to GoW, Spiderman and Naughty Dogs games ?
Edit.
Makes you wonder if these projects/devs would still exist if Sony wasnt spending so much money on timed exclusives. Keeping stuff like 7R or FFXVI from even the PC for such a long time cant be cheap.

Not only helping. ND is leading the project
Some baffling decisions here
