PlayStation to open Malaysian development studio in 2020
- Thread starter Cyberia
- Start date
Nah, Digital Media Content Creation in Singapore is garbage :( . Although Ubisoft SG and Namco bandai is there but thats it for major gaming companies, Lucasart doesn't exist anymore, ILM rather hired experience people and Dneg Singapore shut down. Deader than ever.
I haven't even heard of Malaysian. What's the point of opening a studio in a country no one's ever heard of.
When will you set a studio in Montreal then? Because Guerilla Montreal has a nice ring to it. 😏😉PlayStation CEO and President Jim Ryan added: "Impressive talent, a vibrant game ecosystem, and support from the government are key reasons why we have decided to take our partnership with Malaysia to the next level."
PlayStation to open development studio in Malaysia
PlayStation will open a new development office in Malaysia in 2020.It's the company's first Southeast Asian studio and …www.gamesindustry.biz
You may not have heard of many of them but many Asian studios have assisted most of the biggest games to release this generation.
Yoshida going around playing various SEA indie games and offering meaningful feedback (this was before the SWW Studios announcement) was seriously the best thing ever. Genuine love for games.
Even with those support studios, Sony's studios still outsource a lot of work to contract studios, just take a look at their credits. Creating an in-house studio to assist would help bring down some of those costs.
The only large-scale support studio in that list is VASG. The rest are more production support oriented, credits for the support offered by XDev/SSM Ex Dev/San Mateo are not at the same scale as the animation/asset production that VASG supports.
Building a studio in Malaysia, with its current strength - would be closer to setting up an in-house outsourcing studio, but also one that has potential to eventually scale up or develop its own games later on.
Low labor costs and poor control standards to prevent abuse. Jim Ryan says so himself : they're not making their own games, they exist to produce assets on the cheap for PS5 exclusives. Hopefully my cinisism isn't shown to be right longer term, and they get to make their own content in the future.
Clearly a joke aimed squarely at the halfwit he's responding to.
