Could it be? Is Astro Bot really going to be the thing that makes Sony revisit older franchises?
Some of these could use “Nightdive” treatment like TimeSplitters trilogy.
Simple a PC version of the game with support for latest hardware and operating systems and support for LAN or self hostable multiplayer would give these games new life among people not interested in modern multiplayer games.

it doesn’t matter what these corporations ‘think’, anything they remake or whatever the hot term is, they will turn it into some trash with a store. That’s NOT why people are seeking games from an era where this cancer didn’t exist.

I don’t think that’s what’s happening here, unless you’re expanding your definition to be that you’re renting this legacy library with a subscription.

Fans enjoy older titles however they want to
Companies get pissy because fans are having fun and not paying again or constantly via subscriptions
Company ‘remakes’ game to justify IP, does piss poor job, changes things that never needed to be changed and adds in-game store or subscription model because ‘new market conditions’ and ‘inset other buzz words’
Gamers detest all changes and move onto the next old school gem.
That’s the life cycle of remakes…
