Over the years, Sony’s PlayStation platform has had some iconic games. While franchises such as God of War and Ratchet and Clank have managed to reinvent themselves and stick around, many others have been lost to time.
While franchises such as God of War and Gran Turismo have been mainstays of the Playstation platform with every new generation, some others haven’t been as lucky.
With the PlayStation 5, Sony has pushed the graphical and computational power of the platform to the next level. They’ve introduced new features such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback as well as solid-state drive (SSD) storage for faster game loading.
Due to reasons best known to Sony, many iconic franchises have left the Playstation, leaving their fans to rue their absence. We look at five such examples in detail:
Infamous is an action-adventure platform game series that follows protagonists with supernatural abilities, known as “Conduits”, who must walk the thin line between good and evil. The series was put on ice after Second Son failed to meet Sony’s expectations, and Sucker Punch began work on their epic samurai adventure, Ghost of Tsushima.

Developer: Sucker Punch Productions
Prior to the recent PlayStation Showcase, there were rumors regarding Infamous, however, that went nowhere. With the PlayStation 5’s capabilities, Infamous could really take their smooth free-flowing parkour and colorful visuals to the next level.
Sly Cooper was one of PlayStation 2’s iconic franchises along with God of War and Ratchet and Clank. The stealth-platform game follows the titular character Sly Cooper, a raccoon master thief who steals from other thieves. The series beautifully blended film noir with comic book motifs.
Sly Cooper’s last entry, Thieves in Time, was developed by Sanzaru Games, who also developed the Sly Cooper Collection as well as God of War Collection and Spyro Reignited Trilogy. A new Sly Cooper collection in the vein of Crash Bandicoot N’sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy would surely be well received on PlayStation 5.
