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.
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
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.
Yeah. I wouldn’t mind a Jak and Daxter trilogy remake either.
At least we have fan made PC ports
Add in daxter and X and I’ll throw them my wallet.
I was 100% certain that Sonys plan, and general silence around Bloodborne, was to have bluepoint due a remake as an eventual PS6 exclusive to drive some sales when that comes out. Guess I was wrong.
I want a modern Tenchu game too, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
I’ll take Sekiro 2
I think the reason Sekiro 1 happened was that they started making a Tenchu game and then changed their minds.
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for a remaster of The Adventures of Cookie & Cream this whole time…
I actually had that game, but I don’t remember anything about it.
Average early FromSoft game experience:
Though not gonna lie, Metal Wolf Chaos 2 would go very hard.
A re-release of the Otogi games would be great!
