I actually heard about this a couple of days ago. I would have stated a thread myself, but wanted to wait for more validity to the rumour.
Now, you won't find very many people who love this franchise more than me, but even I can't get behind this at all. This is a complete waste of time, effort and cash, however little of those things it would actually take to pull this off. I don't think a sequel to Days Gone would have made me any happier as I didn't actually enjoy that game very much, but it would be easier to justify. I see this as an attempt to strike the hot pan close to the release of the upcoming TV show and that's about it. I hope they don't do it, but Sony are making more than thier fair share of bad decisions as of late, so we shouldn't be surprised.
@The Blackangel The PS4 version of the game is a remaster already, just another reason why this rumoured PS5 version should not exist.
