With the next Playstation Showcase announced, I thought it would be fun to see how we think Naughty Dog might turn Factions into a full game on its own before we know for sure!

I believe they will borrow some elements of current shooter sub-genres in order to do so, but what do you guys think?

I hope none of the above. The reason I loved Factions was that it was completely unlike all the crap in your poll.

I have a feeling it's going to be more like Animal Crossing.

Make that an option.

So you have to take loans at insanely high interest in order to build up your base and buy your weapons?

Microtransactions and battle pass system?

PvE but with a heavy narrative. Sort of a cross between TLOU2, FF14, and the original Factions.

The monetization will be next level

I think it's going to have PvP elements like the first Factions. PvPvE third-person Tarkov is what I'm betting.

Free to play

I imagine it'll be something close to The Division, with the other "modes" tacked on.

I suspect the real trend chasing will be its monetisation systems. Full price base game, expensive Battle Passes, expensive skins and cosmetics.

I think it's going to be a thing where you have a home base / survivor group you build and manage... kind of a fleshed-out and actually-realized version of the dumb meta game that was tacked on to the first factions.

The actual game will be a mix of co-op and pve, with original pvp mode available and a main focus too.

That's my guess. I think overall you could probably look at something like Chromehounds as the basic blueprint.
