Remember when Santa Monica Studio's CM left and SSM didn't have one for a few months? SSM closed down, right?

Everytime you share this I find myself watching it repeatedly. It's so hypnotic lol
Nice one, Queen! Lol 😂
Why are we suddently talking about Bend Studio closing after Days Gone selling over 8M copies?
Weren't they hiring just a while ago?
Weren't they hiring just a while ago?
Manchester Studio was hiring one day before closing.
Manchester Studio was flopping as far as i know. It was 5 year project that didn't pan out.
And that didn't answer my question. A studio thtat's been going since 1993, that gave us Syphon Filter, portable games like Resistance and Uncharted and expanded into a bigger studio for a surprise hit called Days Gone. Why are we talking about Bend Studio closing?
Like...there's literally no signs of that happening.
Manchester Studio didn't release any game.
Bend released a highly profitable game. There is literally no reason to believe that Bend is getting shut down.
That's just concern trolling.
I agree with u and I hope not. These guys have talent. They can make a new Uncharted if Sony doesn't want to continue with Days Gone.
A Space Force member was busted down a rank for going to get a PlayStation 5 instead of to fitness training
"Yolo, PS5 > letters of discipline," said a Space Force member who until recently had the rank of senior airman.

You've got to be sorry for the devs who are on the front lines working to fix this absolute mess of a situation, the higher ups at CDPR have failed them.
I can't say I'm surprised, drum up all the hype in the world for 7-8 years and this is the result.
Now you know why Rockstar only announces games when they're ready to be announced.

Imagine if he didn't get a PS5.
Sony recently started doing this too, as well as Capcom and Square Enix. I always felt CDPR was a premature company in AAA development and this whole shit show just confirmed it.

Tbf, he's also a member of the goddamn space force. I can't say I'd take that too seriously either.

Lol. I thought Space Force is a made up joke for Netflix tv show.
What the hell do they even do there at Space Force?A Space Force member was busted down a rank for going to get a PlayStation 5 instead of to fitness training

Do they fight Aliens? If not than his time trying to get a PS5 is far more valuable.
I like that he's specifically covering the Hatsune Miku version. And they say Jim Ryan doesn't care about Japan.

1. SIE does not 'control' the hiring of individual roles within studios, lol. They manage headcount and budget, but whether or not a studio needs certain roles is not within Sony's realm to care because they don't run the studio day-to-day. The studio management at Bend could very well see that they do not need a dedicated CM,
2. The Art Director role is open in Bend's job site.
3. Just because no one was publicly elevated to be creative director/game director doesn't mean that job isn't being filled by someone. We never cared who the creative director was until Garvin said he's been out of the studio for over a year now, and in that span of time, they expanded the narrative team from a team of one to at least a team of two.
4. This isn't the first time we've had doom and gloom over Bend, remember when their LinkedIn studio page vanished. And is still not available today?

Ya that was the big mistake imo, announcing this game so early when they were already working on TW3, such an odd decision. They should have waited till this year to announce it, and launched early next year.
DG sold very well if I remember correctly.
Probably more than the three infamous games combined. SP was allowed to keep getting better, and now they've got their breakthrough. Do t see why Sony wouldn't do the same.
ps: People can shit talk DG all they want. It still didn't get delisted. 😂

The cover on this edition of TLOU2 is stunning.

From the developers at Naughty Dog comes the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games of the generation.

They already had an Art Director, but his title was changed to Principal Concept Artist since September 2019. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldyatomi) John Garvin was the CD on Days Gone. Also, Bend Studio company page on LinkedIn is still not available.

They initially announced it as a conceptual project to attract people to join the company. It was also done to increase the company's notoriety and appeal.
That first trailer pretty much has nothing to do with what we got in the end besides the theme. Even the vibe is off.
Not only they misjudged their release window, but they kept delaying the launch which upset their investors and their fanboys. They released now because of investors and get on the game of the year lists with high scores for bonuses.
It's been a big YIKES all around. Compound that with their transphobic attitude and gamergate/alt right pandering, it's the perfect storm of karma I've seen in recent memory in this industry. CDPR are nowhere NEAR the likes of Rockstar, Naughty Dog and etc, even with them emulating the crunch culture in worse ways.
Yeah, and ND's art director for TLOU2 is now no longer an art director, but a concept artist as well.
Roles can change as they finish up and move to another project. Or they deem that they need someone different. And in Bend's case, they clearly feel that way.
Being a rogue lite/like, I don't think anything but 3rd person was ever a choice.
I hope so, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. I just have a bad feeling about this one.
Yes it is. It is supposed to replace the SIE Presents splash screen.
1 month ago you whloudn't had that felling, and the directior had already left 11 months ago.
Your logic makes no sense, there is 0 reason to close down the studio.
Dang, SIE has to be frustrated. Ridiculous that it's gotten to this point, but CDPR's Top Brass & Management absolutely deserves all the hits they're taking.
Kinda glad I only held a little interest in it. The only concern left would be that this eventually leads towards an MS acquisition.

I do kinda get the concern, though. The last ten years have been pretty unexciting in terms of how Sony is running their studios. Their closures literally double the amount of aquisitions made.
Luckily their first-party output has never been stronger and are in a great spot right now.
So they released their first AAA game after almost 15 years. Their game is on its way to sell 10 million copies when all is said and done. In a world/industry where it isn't easy to launch/start a new IP gaming franchise.
So the game sells great, receives good review scores, has tons of fans on social media and wins a couple of awards. Bend Studio is bigger than ever now and 3 years ago they got a new beautiful office.
And you have a bad feeling because..... one dev left 1 year ago and and another one a few weeks ago? After their big AAA was done.
Sorry, but I can't take this seriously.
The studio released a hit and you get the concern that it's in trouble? Nah.
meanwhile Death Stranding PC is getting review bombed. According to an italian site it's due to Cyberpunk content
