Most of these likely to be handled by new studios than the legacy ones coz they’re handling new IPs
Legend of Dragoon ~Sony needs a proper 1st party RPG and what’s better than the forgotten LoD? I’ll even take a proper FF7-style Remake of it before a sequel. No entry since PS1.
Killzone ~coz Sony also need a single-player FPS, can be handled by Helldivers studio
Syphon Filter ~mostly been a PSP franchise, needs a PS5 sequel, no entry since PS2
and Motorstorm ~coz Sony needs another non-GT driving IP, that’s also unique, no entry since PS3
^ Hence these 4 been prioritized in first draft.

Following likely PS6 era:
Jak & Daxter ~nothing to add here, will be good R&C alternative (coz Insomniac is busy pumping Marvels),
Resistance ~another FPS after Killzone hype dies down, no entry since PS3
SOCOM ~can be handled by the new Syphon Filter devs, no entry since PS3
Twisted Metal ~another driving IP, can be handled by new Motorstorm devs, no entry since PS3

Later in PS6 era:
infamous ~Sucker Punch likely to revisit, after Ghost IP saturates, will be an older IP by then
The Getaway ~GTA VI hype will be fading by now and Sony will have a nice open-world IP to surprise the world, no entry since PS2, well worth a visit
The Order ~needs a proper revisit via sequel. IP’d be pretty old by then, well-worth the revisit
Chrono ~ A square+LoD devs collab. Make it happen.

Didn’t include Bloodborne & Uncharted coz Sony likely to make ’em happen anyways
