Whether you disc or download, the modern era of gaming has all but done away with paper. Manuals have gone the way of legend, relegated to cheap digital links or in-game button mapping. Collectors may still seek their complete editions with wide-eyed wonder, but how do you explain the appeal to a generation born without?
The talented music maker discusses her process, challenges and, of course, magic!
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

I used to spend so much time as a kid just reading the manual before playing my new game lol. Some were so well designed too, like the MGS manuals.
I do miss paper manuals, but it is better for the planet to no longer have them - plus digital games exist now, and tutorials are more in-game now than on paper which is an improvement.
Even now, it's good to peruse a digital manual while your game downloads on Steam.
