Curious to see if the game got cancelled or not. Looks like Sony is really in the process of evaluating the development of their games (and partner made ones).
They didn't really say anything at all outside of AAA.Did we ever hear what they were working on? Based on what I saw, it was probably some kind of multiplayer-focused game.
nothing in particular. But it is a new IP and a studio made up of a lot of ex-COD or ex-FPS game makers, and promised a lot of action and energy. So I think it would be safe to assume it was a FPS MP game of some sort.Did we ever hear what they were working on? Based on what I saw, it was probably some kind of multiplayer-focused game.
No, but since Sony is publishing their game they depend on Sony for funding. So yeah, very likely that Sony reduced funding.lost a co-founder, now this. what's going on there?
btw would the sony annual review affect a partner studio. they're not owned by sony outright, correct?
Wait so did Sony buy them because the game looked good or because the studio was having troubles?

Sony never bought them, it's only a partnershipWait so did Sony buy them because the game looked good or because the studio was having troubles?

Sony hasn't bought that studio yet. They bought the other 2 start ups they are officially partnering with, Firewalk and HavenWait so did Sony buy them because the game looked good or because the studio was having troubles?
Ahhh my bad I got them confused with Firewalk. Will edit my post.No confirmation if Sony bought them or not. I would say no as it like the development didn't go way the Sony wanted/expected.
It involved Mars as well, there was an Easter egg on their website when they went publicnothing in particular.

After Jason Blundell left they brought a ton of people in to cover him including Tony Flame but that was about a year ago now. Who knows what has gone on since.
That was the original site but wasn't anywhere to be seen on the updated site.It involved Mars as well, there was an Easter egg on their website when they went public
That's the dev with PlayStation controllers plastered all around their walls and fancy studio, right?
These start-ups going straight into AAA development always seem destined to fail. Why not make something smaller for your first game
I mean look around some other startups got full on bought out, others secure a ton of funding or partnerships... solid resumes and talent + promising of a big budget game is attractive to investors.These start-ups going straight into AAA development always seem destined to fail.

It was probably an FPS given the Treyarch heritage if I had to guessLast Friday was PixelOpus now today is Deviation Games, though no mention on status of their project yet.
Best of luck to those affected, this sucks to see.

Damn, I hope their game wasn't cancelled. I was looking forward to a new Jason Blundell FPS…

kojima productions seemed rather successfulThey hire dozens of people in 1-2 years, promising the moon and the next big thing and they constantly fail.
Respawn was the only big success, you could argue Certain Affinity as well (but they are mostly support co-dev studio)
They also had very lavish office parties. Not to say there's anything wrong with that, but I hope it wasn't a money mismanagement issue.That's the dev with PlayStation controllers plastered all around their walls and fancy studio, right?
