What a needlessly stupid thing it was to put them on a live service project, and what a waste to close it down.

If only there were some other incredibly highly desired From Software game that people have been shouting at Sony to assign to the Bluepoint team specifically to remake.

You know, an obvious choice with an existing fanbase that would literally open their wallets and tell Sony to take whatever they want in order to play it.

NO...

I was hoping for the Demon's Souls remake to get ported to PC as I would love to play the game again. A PC version of the game was included in the same Nvidia leak that showed Helldivers 2 before it was announced. Every showcase, I was wondering where Bluepoint were... And now they went under.

Complete insanity that Sony forced them to do a live service game for the past few years. Bluepoint was practically an art studio, they could've spent the next 20 years just remaking old games and make bank. What were they thinking?

Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year.

Maybe this was for the best, if that was their best idea to move forward with. I feel like people are getting tired of cookie-cutter live service games coming out every year.

this is so insane on its face that the first place my mind goes is, were they about to unionize?

Wow. The whole console space is really going down the drain, isn't it? Disappointing generations, hardware shortages, price increases, stupid live-service initiatives nobody wants, ever more subscriptions, and closing of studios that would usually turn out hits as long as you let them work in peace... Thank god for indie studios, retro consoles, PC gaming and a backlog that will last me three lifetimes.

Hey guys, I know you made really good remasters of classic single-player games, but can you make us something nobody on this motherfucking Earth asked for?

Oh wait, we don't want you do do that any more.

Why aren't you making us any money?

Man, I really loved the Demon Souls Remaster. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Crazy. They could have at least put them on a new remake project. I don't understand closing studios that are provenly productive. Replace leadership. Replace directors/leads if they're not proving to lead well or their ideas aren't panning out commercially but don't shutter the whole studio. Like 343 Halo games aren't critical success but they deliver products. Obsidian games aren't selling great currently but they ship products on the regular. Bluepoint could be making smaller games like Twisted Metal. More remakes. Jak and Daxter remakes or sequels. Square Enix get's a lot of flak like every mega publisher but I think they're great for making a bunch of smaller AA games along with big games like Final Fantasy

Is it viable for a studio like this to just reform under a new name and continue doing what they love?

Ha.. I bought a PS5 just to finally play the Deamons Souls remake.

Probably because not enough people are buying PS5s. You all didn't rent a PS5, so now small indie company Sony has to dissolve a studio. It's not the executive's fault, it's the consumer's fault, obviously.

BREAKING

This is even more stupid than Microsoft shutting down studios. It makes literally no sense.

No Games Station becomes more and more true over time. Trend chasing failures is the new Sony trend.

PS4 was so disappointing to me after 1/2/3 and it's sad to see continued decline.

That makes no sense
