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.
That and Bloodborne for me. But Returnal had just come out at the time, and that is also good (tho no longer exclusive). I also keep forgrtting the system I got was bundled with God of War: Ragnarok and I have never even installed it… 🤔
It took me a couple years to install GoW Ragnarok, was also included with my purchase. I really preferred the first one over it tbh. I only got like halfway through because Atreus got to be insufferable with the marvel-esque “I fight for my friends” type dialogue. Like the first one feels raw, and the story is tight, combat and gameplay is basically the same. But Ragnarok tries to do too much in its story at once it feels like and just has this cringe-y air to it, idk.
Oh, to be in your shoes again. You have hours & hours of one of the best media pieces of any form ever ahead of you. I found out how incredible it is in every aspect late. Story, gameplay, visuals, sound, feel, emotions…
Prepare for some of the best gaming of your life so far.
Exactly, after I finished DS I bought Bloodborne, when I finished this too I’ll sell the PS5. And it’s probably a good time for this. 🤓
