Now that Jim Ryan is gone (woohoo 🥳🥳🎉🎉) what do you want to change for PlayStation? I'll start

- Fire/demote Hermen Hulst and hire Shuhei (if he still wants the position), Hermen can go back to Guerilla if he wants.
- Cancel all the live service games in development (except Factions 2)
- Sell Bungie (yuck)
- Shutdown Nixxes or make them into a remaster studio
- Remaster all of the PS3 and PS2 classics
- Cancel PS Plus Premium, PS Plus Extra, and make ONLINE FREE
- Cancel all PC Ports, bring back "Only on PlayStation"
- Do better marketing for VR
- Invest in 2-3 more VR studios and focus on more blockbuster AAA VR titles like HL Alyx
- Cancel anything to do with cloud gaming
- Bring back Japan Studios so they can start making more AA 1st party games like Gravity Rush, Astrobot, and Ape Escape

These are just the few off the top of my head, I'll probably think of more later.

Keep the PC ports coming but focus on legacy titles and japanese ones.
Bloodborne ps5/PC remaster.
Bring old god of war games back as they are de facto "cancelled"
Focus on legacy IP. Big scale syphon filter remake.
Free online. Not that impacts me, but it's fair.

I would like a CEO from Japan. Connie Booth or Ted Price as head of WWS.
Bring back Japan Studio. More AAA jp games. More variety in the writing from 1st party games, right now there's too much oscar bait

Bring back PSX

And buy more studios
just make being a playstation fan fun again, don’t be so buttoned up and corporate, metaphorically speaking
Yeah, agreed 100%, Sonys communication with the fans have been horrible the last few years.

- Increased investment in Japan

...that's pretty much it
Invest in Japan more than ever. Keep up the defense in your home turf from Xbox.

I would love some 1st party JRPGs like Wild Arms and the Legend of Dragoon to make a return. I love all the Western PS games but we need it to be diversified with more Japanese titles.

PC Ports hurt PlayStation, doesn't help them at all, so no. You aren't part of the PlayStation community, you're part of the PC Port begging community so go pirate your games in peace, discuss CSGO knives with your ilk, and leave us real gamers alone.

I don't really know, don't follow these execs that closeley to say who would be a good.

But one thing i hope they do is go for a safe option and not someone completely new, or doesn't understand gaming especially in regards to what makes ps a success.

Too risky to bring in someone who could uproot everything.

Better (enhanced) emulation of PSX, PS2, PSP & Vita - 4K and 60fps in all games

"FPS Boost" for PS4 games (community voting every month)

$20/year Only Online PS+ (no games, just multiplayer and cloud saves)

That's about it

I just want someone who's more in tune with what Playstation's core fanbase wants. Cater to us for once rather than people outside the community who wouldn't care if the platform died tomorrow.

  • Greater focus on RPGs (Western and Japanese).
  • Ports of PS1 and PS2 classics.
  • Acquisition of companies such as Square, SEGA, Fromsoft (if possible).
  • Cancel PC ports.
  • Better release schedule of 1st party AAA games.
  • Purchase neglected IPs where possible to bolster catalogue.
  • I don't mind some GAAS since of all companies Sony is the only one I could expect to implement one well and support it, but don't overdo it.
  • Bloodborne 2 and Bloodborne 1 PS5 version.
Out of left field want:
  • Vita 2.
Also forgot:
  • Full fledged Astro game.
