Can you wait for Fizzint?

Yeah, I'll be interested. Obviously, we wish the best for all these people. As I said, when this happens, my money is on Sony Bend getting closed. Not because of a lack of talent. Not because something's wrong with that studio. I just think as PlayStation continues to watch the bottom line, do this thing, how do we make this all work? I feel like Sony Bend and Bluepoint are in dangerous water.

They are on thin ice here. Again, as we talked at length about last week, not because of themselves, right? They tried to answer the call of PlayStation wanting live service titles, but I think that didn't work. And now Sony bends there. And what are they going to move to? How long will that take to mobilize them again? Bluepoint? I think you can toss. All right. Remaster this game. Do this.

We have a, there's, we can immediately give you a project to get you going to get you out the door with something. Whereas with Sony bend, I think, You assume it's from the ground up. I'm sure they've had other ideas and maybe something else was in pre-pro, yada, yada, yada. But I worry about how long PlayStation lets them gestate on it.

And even if it is that, you gestate on it and get down the line. And guess what? That one also isn't up to snuff for whatever reason PlayStation says.

I would say you're more likely to get the remake from Bluepoint. Yeah, I think... That was the thing that was reported before. That's been kicked around forever, right? So you figure, yeah, that would be whatever. And again, to what Shu was talking about in his interview last week with me, right? Of like, these remakes, remasters are what pays the bills to keep them making other things.

So I could easily see that being the switch flip. Whereas again, Sony, Ben, go make an Uncharted. I just feel like... We saw that not work out well for them with Golden Abyss, where it was... I mean, Golden Abyss' biggest knock is that it was fun, but it's not Uncharted, right? It's not a Naughty Dog. And so I feel like...

Unless they were ready to be like, Sony, Ben, go make the new Uncharted and you are the Uncharted studio from here on. This is the official Uncharted. Naughty Dog's never coming back to it. It's now your thing with your new protagonist, new stuff. Sure, but it would be the exact same thing.
