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.

If only there were some other incredibly highly desired From Software game that people have been shouting at Sony to assign to the Bluepoint team specifically to remake.

You know, an obvious choice with an existing fanbase that would literally open their wallets and tell Sony to take whatever they want in order to play it.

Yeah. I wouldn't mind a Jak and Daxter trilogy remake either.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Add in daxter and X and I'll throw them my wallet.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Throw in a few ratchet and clank games and I'd do unholy things

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 5 points 11 hours ago

Fuck yeah, I want the good old anti consumerism OG rachet and clanks.

[–] flameguy21@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

At least we have fan made PC ports

[–] popcar2@piefed.ca 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yup. OpenGOAL is pretty good, but Jak 2 & Jak 3 are still incomplete and have issues.

[–] afaix@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I've completed Jak 2, had a single crash the whole game, I think the oficial HD collection had more issues than that. Jak 3 is not done though, can't wait to try it once they finish with it

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Don't even need to remake or remaster. Just make it 60fps, and so many people would buy it again.

I'll never understand why Sony leaves so much money on the table re Bloodborne

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

Why make tens of millions when you can lose hundreds of millions?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 18 points 18 hours ago

It makes me think there must be something more to the story. Bad blood? FromSoft not wanting to make it an exclusive?

Otherwise, I just don't get it either. I'm not a businessman, but that seems as close to risk-free money as you can get.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I want a modern Tenchu game too, but I don't think it's going to happen.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I think the reason Sekiro 1 happened was that they started making a Tenchu game and then changed their minds.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, I've been waiting for a remaster of The Adventures of Cookie & Cream this whole time...

[–] TheOgreChef@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Insanely underrated game and one of the best co-op titles of the PS2 generation

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I actually had that game, but I don't remember anything about it.

[–] tehevilone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

All I remember about Cookie and Cream was fighting with my player 2 cause we couldn't get far in the first level at all

Granted, I think I was like 6 or 7 at the time, so I imagine the game isn't that hard, but in my head it's the dark souls of my childhood

Average early FromSoft game experience:

Though not gonna lie, Metal Wolf Chaos 2 would go very hard.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

A re-release of the Otogi games would be great!
