This statement is so tone deaf it actually annoys me. Sony whining about budget management while closing Bluepoint Games is insane. I just know they've got other studios hemorrhaging money on live-service slop. [image]

Demon's Souls Remake is the game that sold me on the PS5 as a huge FromSoft fan. Still one of the most ‘next-gen’ looking games to this day. Bluepoint deserved a shot at an original single player game, or at least to keep doing remakes. [image]

I get PlayStation is “operating in an increasingly challenging industry environment,” as Hulst says, though this is a direct result of prior management & decision-making around a misguided services push. Sending my best to all former Bluepoint employees. https://www.gamesindustry…

I'm still trying to understand the logic behind this Bluepoint are one of the most technically talented studios in the world who specialise in Remasters/Remakes and ports PlayStation is porting their games to PC and always doing Remakes/Remasters... I just...what? [image]

Just sad news today hearing about Bluepoint Games closing. I feel for my friends who worked there. They produced best-in-class remasters and remakes that made videogames better. Under Sony they were mismanaged and released nothing. Set up for failure. What a waste.

Sony is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio behind the Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus remakes. Sony first acquired Bluepoint in 2021, and is now closing the studio less than 5 years later https://www.theverge.com/... [image]

This is heartbreaking and a total failure from PlayStation Bluepoint's an expert in remasters/remakes, and yet they were put on a God of War Live Service instead of another remake after Demon's Souls? Generational fumble by Sony RIP Bluepoint Games. Thanks for the memories ❤️ [im…

The sooner this industry burns to the ground, the better. — It's already a multi-alarm fire and the roof is collapsing, but people are pretending that the building can be saved. — I assure you, it cannot.
