The creator has no doubt which game he would remaster if he had the chance. Various PlayStation games were proposed.
If given the chance, Cory Barlog would like to take over directing a remastering of Silent Hill, the legendary game from Konami and Keiichiro Toyama's team for the PlayStation in 1999. The era of remakes and remasters is here to stay. What is already a whole trend has had a mostly positive response at a commercial level, something that invites us to think that there will be more classic games with a second chance soon.
Barlog, creative director at Sony Santa Monica Studio and director of God of War (2018) for PS4, has not hesitated to show his opinion on the social network Twitter in response to a tweet published by Gamespot where he invited his community to choose between one of the following four PlayStation names for an eventual remaster: Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, Xenogears and Silent Hill. The author of Kratos' latest expertise is clear: it is time to get Harold "Harry" Mason back.

Cory Barlog usually shows his opinion on many topics through Twitter. He congratulated Phil Spencer on the presentation of the first major lineup of titles for Xbox Series X and acknowledged that he would like to see a God of War series on Netflix, to name just a couple.
What do we know about the next of Sony Santa Monica
Last January we learned that Sony Santa Monica had started filming the mocap sessions (motion capture) for its next video game, although we do not know what it can be and if it will be fully destined for PlayStation 5. As far as we know, in recent months They seek to incorporate a martial arts expert into their offices.
The North American company has not clarified for now that this game is the sequel to the successful God of War for PS4; Neither if it is something totally new, but they did make clear months ago that the candidates who apply for that vacancy "must have knowledge of God of War."
