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.
Maybe this was for the best, if that was their best idea to move forward with. I feel like people are getting tired of cookie-cutter live service games coming out every year.
My main issue with live service games is that I just don’t have the fucking time to invest in them.
I’ve yet to see a game move to live service that didn’t just pad out all the busy work and fuck with the pacing of any story element.
Give me a single player experience that I can push up 6 months later and not have to grind to get back to where ever I was.
You can just smell the shitty decision making that some executive went thru. Prolly the same exec that pulled the trigger on the layoffs.
I’ve been tired of live service games since before fortnite had battle royale.
I don’t even know how you’d do that with God of war.
