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.
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.
