Usual behavior from Sony. They are just awesome. But bad that the Fable IP will remain at Microsoft even if they will never use it again.

Oh that's nice of them.

A Year Later

"Tigerhead Studios presents Fabled Tales, a massive RPG game"

XD

"please come along for a drink and a chat"

I don't know why but I thought of Cartman in South Park telling the guys to write Punch and Pie. Wonder if the same happened here :D

That's nice of them.

:)

This is just trolling to the next level :)

wow this is really really nice

I do like seeing the industry looking out for their own when things like this happen.

Sony; "Hey our 1st party studios flourish over here!"

Good. I hope all affected employees find employment soon.

Noice

Maybe them guys can show Microsoft what they can do, if you give them freedom and a lot of support. Sony did that to Naughty Dog and look what happened. You have to give a proper care to things that produced a golden egg.

Nice Sony, class act!

To be honest, why wouldn't they do this?

Love how Sony does business and it shows Microsoft the way they should handled lionhead, they could have spread them into their first party studios. People will see this and will continue to support Sony even more and Microsoft will continue to be seen as a destroyer as they put it.

Employment awaits

One man's trash really could be another man's treasure.

Wonder if we will get a Sony Fable style game. Would be awesome, specially after being disappointed with MS not making a fable 4. I'd love to see a spiritual reboot. I don't care who makes it, as long as it stays true to the silly shenanigans of fable 1 and 2 (in its own way). I'm happy lion head is getting so much love from the community. They really got done dirty.

This is how you create a strong worldwide console brand.

Damn, so M$ really just shut them down without warning.. At least Sony will offer them a chance to put bread on the table..

Good job Sony, hats off.

Very nice of Sony doing this. :)

Way to go Sony, you are a truly kind human being.

Except Lionhead's closure was PROPOSED

I wish MS had warned these people about the closure, so that they had some time to look for new jobs. it was a total D*** move anyway you see it. Glad to see all these other companies in the industry offering jobs to all those devs.

people are such fanboys they dont like that sony is going to employ people SMDH

Good job Sony

It's looks like Sony tried to make a good guy image on this gen.

Great gesture to see the industry coming to Lionhead's aid

And this is why I love Sony!! Playstation for life!

I bow to you Sony. For showing unselfish concern to others in need. I thank you.

Screw Fable, I want Black &White 3

Holding the event right on thier doorstep, dont get no better than that.

Its good that this is happening for those guys, been a rough ride for some time at Lionhead it seems.

I wish they'd let Rare go, let them free to be great again. To bad most if not all of the people who made them great are gone now.

Well played.

Good guy Sony. Also a really good sign they are actively seeking talent in the industry.

I swear to god man, Sony is KILLING it this gen. Their PR team must be getting a TON of bonuses.

Such a great thing to do

if this had been a real life and death emergency , would the actions had been so swift. (FKL)

I bet those former employees will make a revenge comeback on their next project. We work harder/smarter for those who take care of us.

First Kojima Productions and now Lionhead, Sony is coming to a lot of developers' rescue.

In the end this is a PR stunt to make them look good while also trying to get some talent from Lionhead Studios. Here's hoping that MS took some of the staff and put them into other studios where they can continue to shine.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Great job Sony!

Would love to see a new game in the spirit of Fable 1 and the good parts of 2. Hopefully they are not asked to make another multiplayer game or first person carriage simulator.

If it's genuine, then this is great. If it's pr bullsh*t, then shameful. I hope it's the former.

It could also be a really ingenious PR stunt on top of a job fair.

Good thing they have a chance to get employed again. Getting laid off with no warning, is a special level of petty.

Its good that sony is helping loinhead studios out . I enjoyed fable and can't wait to see what type f game they will make for sony.

What is with all this "Sony the good guy" stuff about?

Really guys come on!!! all Sony are doing is what many other companies will be doing and thats looking for any remaining talent to add to a team to help profits. The way you guys are going on is as if Sony just employed them all just because it was a good thing to do....

Nothing to do with Sony being the good guy...

comments like these just show ignorance..... get a job guys.... look at how the real world works

Glad to see things are working out for them. Hopefully everyone working there will have a job again soon.

Nothing more than a marketing stunt. A good one mind you, but Sony is hiring all the time and whether you label it a Lionhead Studios blah, blah, blah or Job Fair it means the same thing. If non-Lionhead Studios employees turn up with the right qualifications I can't see them turning them away.

Sony the good guy. Sincerely hope the devs and all the Lionhead team get snapped up!

Bring back Black and White for PSVR!!! then ill be happy :D

I guess a lot of them will end up at Media Molecule, which was actually founded by ex Lionhead and Rare staff. But it would be great if Sony just hired them all, founded Tiger Bonce and had them working on some sort of spiritual successor to fable.

It's hilarious to me how much praise Sony is getting and we have no clue how many people they actually plan on hiring. Yes it is a good thing that the industry reaches out to help its own, but many companies do this on a daily basis and just don't publicize it to the world. Even many studios that Sony have closed, the developers were picked up by many 3rd party and competing companies.

I would understand this great praise if Sony stated that they planned on hiring 40-50% of the team or something. But what if Sony only hires 10 people, do they still deserve all of this admiration that many are gloating on about...

I'm glad I live in a time when there are so many good developers making too many good games to keep up with. I'm looking forward to retirement age when I can finally work through that backlog

Well this is good to see, hope those ex Lionhead employees get nice positions.

Microsoft are people you can rarely trust.
