BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year. The studio then spent the last year pitching and trying to determine what it would do next.

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.

    My main issue with live service games is that I just don't have the fucking time to invest in them.

    I've yet to see a game move to live service that didn't just pad out all the busy work and fuck with the pacing of any story element.

    Give me a single player experience that I can push up 6 months later and not have to grind to get back to where ever I was.
