BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year. The studio then spent the last year pitching and trying to determine what it would do next.

NO...

I was hoping for the Demon's Souls remake to get ported to PC as I would love to play the game again. A PC version of the game was included in the same Nvidia leak that showed Helldivers 2 before it was announced. Every showcase, I was wondering where Bluepoint were... And now they went under.

Complete insanity that Sony forced them to do a live service game for the past few years. Bluepoint was practically an art studio, they could've spent the next 20 years just remaking old games and make bank. What were they thinking?

Sony was thinking “money me, money now, money money money, big money, money now”

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Which apparently backfired spectacularly.

They're too busy making more money-sink Spider-man movies without Spider-man.

It's Morbin' Time!

Charlie was quite the writer

Yeah well if Sony would have just let em cook and provided me with PC ports of Bloodborne and Demon's Souls then they would have happily received my money. Instead they get to recieve an extended middle finger.

Their service game strategy has been a total disaster from start to finish. Good thing the ps6 is delayed so that playstation gamers can hopefully see some exclusivities before the next gen.

I'd forgotten that was on the Nvidia list. Wasn't many misses on there. Final Fantasy IX remake was another big one that never surfaced.
