Media Molecule is working on Tearaway Unfolded for PS4, and an unannounced project which was showcased at the PS4’s unveiling show, and is also on Sony’s new console. Yet, there might be more in the pipeline.
Sammy: "Sony disastrously and disgracefully shuttered Texas-based fan favourite Bluepoint yesterday. The long-time PS Studios partner never got a chance to ship a game under its new parent company.
This news hit me particularly hard because I believe it reflects the erosion of once-great PlayStation management that I think we’ve all been feeling for quite some time."
How was this allowed to happen? A studio know for excellent remakes and remasters were put on a GOW live service game? Something nobody wanted? There are so many other, more interesting projects, for me they were the prime studio who should have remastered or remade Bloodborne, what an absolute waste, I'm really annoyed about this.
Hulst should have followed Jim Ryan out the door, especially after his failed concord brainchild, execs really do only fail upwards.
You say "no body wanted" but we don't actually know if the Devs were the ones to pitch it. For all we know
If that was the case you would have thought Sony would have told Bluepoint no & had them make the God Of War trilogy remake instead while having Santa Monica Studios concentrate on the next God Of War & what ever else they're working on. A Bloodborne remake/remaster would have definitely printed Sony millions. It seems the upper management doesn't care what the fans think including them making awful business decisions. To take Bluepoint under their wing for 5 years & dismantle them is crazy work, Sony should have auctioned Bluepoint off to to a company that could really use them.
It does concern me that they think closing amazing studios like Bluepoint and Japan Studios is smart.
I'm honestly surprised Media Molecule is still around. They put out what 1 game in the past 10+ years? I personally wasn't interested in Dreams, so they have been a wash for me since the PS3 era. Are they working on a new game? What are they doing?
I immediately recalled when they shut down Japan Studio. I don’t understand why any studio would agree to be acquired by Sony, EA, or Microsoft with their history of studio closures.
Frustrating news, for sure. Hulst is on a major losing streak. Baffling decisions....
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
IGN writes: "Media Molecule has said the layoffs at the Sony-owned studio have affected plans for ongoing community and curation support in Dreams."
How self sustained can DREAM be when it's basically stuck on PS4? I don't think it's even gotten a PS5 upgrade. Ending support for what is essentially a game making engine is basically death. SONY did DREAMS dirty.
Maybe they are making a game for the Z3. I am very interested to see their PS4 project.
PS: I am a great cook too lol. Maybe i should apply to that job :D
Hopefully one of them isn't the PS3...lets be honest we've moved on now, I hope MM gives this new gen it's full attention
Morpheus?
Lets hope Vita is one of these "platforms"
More Vita love from Mm, please! :-D
