Jan 16, 2025 · sure but HOW you get these games off the ground is important. Retrofitting Bend and Bluepoint into live-service teams clearly wasn't the play I've got doubts about fairgame$… but at the very least that's a team built from the ground …

Jan 16, 2025 · The games, at Oregon-based Bend Studio and Texas-based Bluepoint Games, were both "live service" projects designed to have recurring revenue from players. They were part of an ongoing strategy for those types of games, launched by PlayStation several years ago, that has led to mixed results. A company spokesperson confirmed the cancellations.

Jan 16, 2025 · Bluepoint is a very talented studio, I hope no one there gets fired. Mr Evil 37. Member. Mar 7, 2022 ...

Jan 16, 2025 · Honestly thought Bluepoint was gearing up for like, Bloodborne 2 or some shit after the Demon Souls remake. A GoW GAAS is an incredibly strange choice. Like, what, a new area with a new god to kill opens up every few months in an open world?

Jan 16, 2025 · Absolute dogshit executive strategy shift to GAAS that has not only cost them hundreds of millions (if not billions) in cancelled or trashed games, but took away years from high quality studios putting great single players games on the market to generate revenue for them.

Jan 16, 2025 · You have Bluepoint, who did an amazing job on Demon Souls and are the kings of remakes, and everybody is waiting for their next project eagerly and you have so many things people want remade for the new generation (eg Jak …

Jan 16, 2025 · GoW GAAS by Bluepoint. So much wrong in such a small sentence. These exec's clearly know nothing about the industry they're making multi-million dollar decisions in lol. And really, that's the problem isn't it, people at the top could be in any industry, they're not there for the love of the medium, even a little bit.

Dec 19, 2023 · People to this point thought it is maybe Bloodborne related, since it is a Soulslike and Bluepoint just did one with the Demon's Souls remake. But I think this speculation is over now after this artwork.

Jan 16, 2025 · I will say, with Bluepoint, the idea that remastering and remaking games real good means Sony will give you hundreds of millions of dollars to make a new single player focused IP seemed like a wild trajectory that people all just seemingly assumed was true.

Jan 16, 2025 · No disrespect to Bluepoint, but I agree. Please stop having Bluepoint remake other games with extremely strong art directions and identities. IMO they're 0-2 in that regard and it's not that they're not up to the task, is that it's an unwinnable scenario. Let them keep trying to build their own game from the ground up.
