hey here's a short list of games Sony could remake/sequel instead that would breathe new life into more IPs and gain them even more money
Parappa the Rapper (with how popular friday night funkin is these days it'd sell gangbusters and it's not like it's a super high budget AAA production)
Ape Escape
Uncharted 1-3
Vib-Ribbon
Sly Cooper
MediEvil (a remake came out in 2019 but a third game would be nice)
Gravity Rush
Killzone (they're going to lose COD to MS soon, this is the smartest decision they could make)
Jak & Daxter (which they could hand off to guerrilla since they seem like the perfect team to handle Jak's open worlds)
LittleBigPlanet (the one that was actually creative, not the Mario 3d World ripoff)
A lot of these games (Parappa and Uncharted especially) are very popular IPs that basically made the Playstation brand, resources that they're wasting on a HZD remake could easily go into remaking one of these gems instead and raking in tons of cash from people who are nostalgic for the older games and people who are new and just getting into these franchises. Playstation's goldmine of IPs is second to Nintendo and yet they're hardly even using it :/
How many of those games sold 20+ million like Horizon Zero Dawn?
Sony has a pretty clear strategy with the Horizon franchise. Trilogy, TV show, multiplayer game, VR title...
The franchises you listed died because they weren't successful enough and they don't matter to PlayStations future in the same way Horizon does.
Putting a small team on remastering this game makes much more sense. People here just don't like it because they think they're the center of the gaming universe.
