Support NeoGAF

[Topher]

I mean, are they supposed to just cancel their scheduled marketing tweets for the day?

Yes. That would have been the wise thing to do

 

[existensmaximum]

OK Sony: fuck you.

 

[near]

Sony tweeted this after the Bluepoint closure news....

The show must go on.

 

[Hero_Select]

Only reeee era users use that as a source instead of X or some website so it'sa easy to figure out what OP is...

Anyway, regarding this news: terrible. I'm at loss for words really. Why! Such a waste.

What the fuck is wrong with you? That's where the story broke out and Jason doesn't post on X.

 

[Windom Earle]

To be fair, are we really surprised to see these antics from a company that allowed Spiderman 2 to be released?

 

[graywolf323]

I was a fan of Bluepoint's remasters/remakes so this sucks, but the studio also made it clear in the past 5+ years that they were hoping to start making their own games & this clearly didn't pan out

really disappointed we'll never get a Legend of Dragoon remake

 

[fersnake]

as a gamer it hurts but in the end this is a business but why Bluepoint? damm this is sad.

 

[PaintTinJr]

Such a horrible, horrible decision. And this is with the Playstation division making them loads of money! But it's never enough for the bloodsucking shareholders...
Hermen should be sacked, but I am afraid that that would not do much. The market in its entirety is changing, and we -old dogs- are just that, old. Our voices resonate thenderously within the walls of forums, but outside, we are vastly outnumbered by people who enjoy Fortnite, COD and other live service titles.
I want the 80s-90s back...

Our voice seems to matter most at the launch of hardware and GaaS. The race to the first 10m(now 40m) consoles sold still requires all us lifers to give a console momentum at day one to make it desirable and in demand. It's probably why Xbox struggled after the Xbox One reveal, and why Nintendo are currently in a battle to retain momentum for the SW2 when Gaf is massively underrepresented IMO in their current sales figures.

Jason Schrierer was the source of the news and he doesn't post on X. Only bluesky. You've been here a month so maybe hold off on judging folks so quickly.

 

[Closer]

Wait. This is new for me.
They put a troon as HEAD of third party content?

Someone who has proven himself mentally ill promoted in a leadership position?

How...suicidal. Why?

You should do a little research before posting. It shows you are fit for the discussion.

Wtf is wrong with me?

You're the one hanging out on bluesky, mate.

 

[IDKFA]

BluePoint were the Kings of remakes. Demon's Souls is a showcase for the PS5 and arguably still one of its best games

And Sony killed them off?

Sony have lost their minds and desperately need new leadership.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Okay i'm over it now. Back to preordering deluxe editions

 

[Northeastmonk]

Sony should just hire Neil Druckmann to run PlayStation.

 

[Denton]

What? So they could get axed again in 4 years?

Just so they can do nothing for 7 years and be shutdown as well?

I said if I was MS. Meaning, MS led by me would be non-retarded.

Yeaaaah, I don't see you lasting long here.

He has good username/comment synergy at least.

Do you know what a source is or are you just being intentionally retarded?

These are scheduled well in advance. Marathon has been on a media blitz the last two weeks.

Bad luck. Maybe it's a sign.

Yes, here you go: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...hutting-down-the-playstation-studio-bluepoint

Yeah, you're retarded.

 

[VGA-Games]

Sony should just hire Neil Druckmann to run PlayStation.

His first Action would be turning Aloy from Horizon: Forbidden Diet into a bald lesbian fat Lady

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Yes, here you go: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...hutting-down-the-playstation-studio-bluepoint

Hory shit, it's the same source

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yuuuuuup. Social posts are usually baked by the community team(s) well in advance so they have time to focus on other things. Not their fault, really.

 

[ExtendEmbraceExtinguish]

only makes sense if Sony is hurting financially.rip bluepoint.

 

[bender]

Hory shit, it's the same source

 

[xrnzaaas]

What a fucking dumb decision. Yeah their gaas project didn't work out, just like a bazillion other gaas projects ordered by Sony. They could've gone back to making remakes of older Sony games and everyone would be happy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

as a gamer it hurts but in the end this is a business but why Bluepoint? damm this is sad.

Because they've generated the least amount of money out of all their studios.

+

PlayStation didn't think what they were currently working on was worth another 5 years of funding.

 

[drotahorror]

Sony cancelled their game in early 2025. Maybe they gave them a year to come up with something good and they didn't so they did what they did.

Just another notch on Sony's belt anyway. They've killed some of the greatest dev companies we've ever had.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Writing was on the wall during PS4 generation. It's really sad to see them close such a proven studio. I feel this is so they can keep shoving Horizon down our throats.

 

[Memati187]

So who is excited for PS6 and Bloodborne Remake at launch? Ohhh...nevermind lol

 

[MiguelItUp]

Schedules can be changed.

You're not wrong. But I highly doubt their team(s) was/were instructed to remove or reorganize their entire social media plan by higher ups.

 

[tTHANOSs]

In the morning we better get this announcement "hello everyone. With the backlash we have decided to keep bluepoint open and they will be remaking bloodborne. "

 

[Ðuelist]

How can they be this fucking stupid???? Hope their stock tanks.

 

[Cancer]

Hory shit, it's the same source

No. In the same way neogaf is not the source of this news. Bloomberg is. Not facebook, bluesky or anything else.

 

[yogaflame]

F#$k Y#$ Sony California Headquarters.

 

[Plague Doctor]

In the morning we better get this announcement "hello everyone. With the backlash we have decided to keep bluepoint open and they will be remaking bloodborne. "

I wish we will.

But you know we won't.

We will get a post about the next exciting new PvPvEvPvEvBBQ and how excited everyone at SIE is for it.

 

[Memati187]

How can they be this fucking stupid???? Hope their stock tanks.

 

[nial]

imagine being this autistic over a bluesky link

[phant0m]

I hope everyone posts on all Sony's social media that they're skipping Marathon and Saros over this. Probably the only thing that will get their attention

Btw, r/playstation is suppressing all posts about the BP closure

It begins.

Record profits last year btw

 

[Don Carlo]

This is such sad news.

Demon souls remake was truly amazing.

 

[bender]

No. In the same way neogaf is not the source of this news. Bloomberg is. Not facebook, bluesky or anything else.

The source chose to aggregate his story via BlueSky. Now, pick a number between 1 and 50.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Not only did they take the flag from Konami, they planted it on top of Everest. Herman Hulst has ruined playstation and he keeps making things worse. Fck this bs.

 

[GonSama]

Such a shame...
