Sony is doing just fine with PlayStation, their most recent success God of War went on to sell over 5 million copies to quickly become the fastest-selling PlayStation game yet. While the games are dime a dozen, people still have a few complaints about what they want on this latest console.

People demand less of those cross-platform games and more PlayStation 5 exclusives. Games that show the real graphical power of PlayStation 5. Games that can be used to win an argument when there’s a console war going on.
But a recent tweet from the official The Game Awards Twitter account shows that fans want a lot more from Playstation.
As mentioned above, Sony is doing pretty well with PlayStation 5. But there are a number of forgotten franchises that we would love for them to get back to.
Syphon Filter Playstation’s own Stealth action franchise
Syphon Filter for those who remember was one of the prime stealth franchises on Playstation2. Gamers mainly played Gabriel Logan, who is a government employee just too good at covert ops.
The game was developed by Sony’s Bend studios and was successful enough to spawn five sequels after it. Fans still await the return of this popular series. Let us hope we get to see a new Syphon Filter game in the future.
Resistance a PlayStation-exclusive shooter franchise
Resistance was a series of first-person shooter games that actually put Insomniac games on the map. The series had a very stereotypical setup featuring aliens that invaded earth and humanity fighting back for their planet.
It quickly became popular for two things, inventive guns, and couch co-op. The gameplay was fun even though the story was nothing to write home about. Now that Insomniac games are at their prime, it would be awesome to see how they treat this series.
Infamous PlayStation’s personal superhero series
Who does not remember this superhero series? Who can even forget Infamous 2? Suckerpunch Games really created a franchise that is still brimming with potential.
Even though the developers have moved on to Ghost of Tsushima, fans are still hoping that we would someday get a new infamous game.Fans really have a lot to say about games that Sony has forgotten!
Fans replied to the Tweet from Game Awards in various ways, but most of them pretty much came out with the names of various franchises that they wanted to see on Playstation 5.

They should establish a few teams to create smaller-scope games in between their big tentpole games. Like a team that gives us a new MediEvil or a new Ape Escape. But they won't, I get it, because third party titles like Stray and Kena now fill the gaps.
