According to two former directors, the studio was the one that presented the multiplayer project for God of War during the development of God of War Ragnarok, and Sony approved it.The developers disagreed with this change of direction and wanted to continue making single-player games or remasters/remakes, but Bluepoint's CEOs convinced them that games as a service were the future and that they would make a lot of money with it.However, after four years of development, Bluepoint Games realized they weren't ready to bring the project to fruition, which led to delays and missed internal deadlines, ultimately resulting in its cancellation in 2025.Bluepoint tried to salvage the situation by presenting new projects focused on single-player remakes, including a Bloodborne remake but Sony didn't greenlight any of these projects, as they no longer trusted the studio after having squandered four years' budget before acknowledging they weren't ready.The reason for the closure, according to these former employees, was a complete loss of confidence from PlayStation in Bluepoint after they lost four years and a lot of money, so they cut their losses before another Concord situation.
>>733712487Do these retard execs live in a completely different reality from the rest of us?
Where is this from?
>>733712487This all seems really obvious.
>>733712487Why havent developers realized that if you have nothing to show after 4 years of development and missed deadlines, you're probably fucked. On year 3, you should update your resume
>>733712487better men.... we failed
>>733712583His ass
>>733712583he's posting these fake news every daybasically the journokikes are trying to defend californians by saying that it was bluepoint that pitched a mmo/liveservice product and not the kike ryan or cuckmann
>>733712487Source?
>>733712487>including a Bloodborne remakeEyebrows raised. Just... port the PS4 version. how hard is that? Stop remaking shit.
>>733712487I am most baffled that Sony would give the God of War gaas(decdent idea because big name) to a fucking remake studio of all things.This should have been a high profile and high budget investment gamble.

>>733712720sony won't just port a decade old game at this point
>>733712640It seems like sony and xbox for soem studios is just way too lax on their studios work. 5 years working and having nothing to show is embarrassing for the workers, the project managers and the overseers at the umbrella company. Studios like Obsidian work well under no pressure free reign but this clearly does not work for other studios.Now they shouldn't be doing the 2 fucking meetings per day shit too eating away time and money but there gotta be a healthy middle ground for all partis involved.
>>733712487>but Bluepoint's CEOs convinced them that games as a service were the future and that they would make a lot of money with it.Bruh
>>733712689>was bluepoint that pitched a mmo/liveservice productYes, that is how these things work. Now you get it.
Every time I think the publishers are the problem I am reminded the devs can be just as bad.
>>733712565Yes
>>733713123>I've never met him in my life – I've never had anything to do with him. I never had any involvement in the Vivendi project that they were doing, Brütal Legend, other than I was in one meeting where the guys looked at it and said, 'He's late, he's missed every milestone, he's overspent the budget and it doesn't seem like a good game. We're going to cancel it.'>"And do you know what? That seemed like a sensible thing to do. And it turns out, he was late, he missed every milestone, the game was not a particularly good game..."
>macaco is spamming these fake articles to rub defense for snoykwaboty
>>733712487>complete loss of confidence from PlayStation in Bluepoint after they lost four years and a lot of moneybut what about bungie then?
>>733712487so it's their fault for being greedy
Imagine defending "Nintendo: Hire this man": The Studio.>>733713923Bungie was considerably more expensive than Bluepoint.
>>733714041>Bungie was considerably more expensive than Bluepoint.i know, retard. not the point
>>733712565Yes, they live in boardrooms with the shareholders.
>>733712487>Anyone at all being upset about Bluepoint dyingEvery remake they ever made was awful.Gravity Rush Remastered fucked up the sliding physics and misaligned half the games textures.Demon Souls was a WOWified shitheap. Shadow of the Colossus was soulless. They were a shit company and its a miracle they stayed in Sonys good graces THIS long.
>>733712583sony
>CEO wanted a GaaS God of Slop>devs and directors said no>wasted 4 yearsWell, at least bluepoints workers got 4 years of salary fucking around, but holy shit.
>>733712487Good riddance
>>733712487I would like to believe this because it's hilarious how incompetent both sides appeared to be, but I would appreciate a source first.
>>733714239Sunken cost fallacy. It costed way more, thus they're more forgiving because acting otherwise means admitting they fucked up big time (they did.)
>>733712487Well, what can they expect after wasting 4 years and having nothing to show, not like their finished remake projects were any better, good riddance.
>live service or crank more demakesBest outcome was achieved at the end.
>>733714041Wait they own audeze?Shiiiet i bought the Maxwells last month.they are very good to be honest famalam
>>733714431>CEO wanted>Sony: "we're doing a big live service push, if you got something to pitch it better be GAAS">studio pitches GAAS so they'll get their paychecks>articles and post mortems talk about the devs suddenly desperately wanting to make live service slop and Sony had nothing to do with it
>>733712487The more I read about it, the less I care. Good riddance.
>>733714834yeah i can see that>i-it's not just about the games!>they have EXPERTISE!i do have a sneaking suspicion that someone greenlit the panic buy thinking they'd bring halo with it
>>733712565They don't play games, so yeah. Like why would they care?
>>733715478The playstation head kept thinking that ms buying abk meant no more cod despite them saying from the getgo that cod stays multiplat and no more timed exclusive content.This was his "oh shit we need OUR first party shootpooty" moment.
>>733713123Same. Seeing current Bungie and IOI pretty much changed my stance.
>>733715728Yea, this. They were absolutely fucking retarded, there's no world in which MS would make COD an exclusive when they have 0 players and 0 stock for consoles assuming people would want to buy a xbox for it, they can't just produce 40 million xbox out of their ass.
>>733712731>This should have been a high profile and high budget investment gamble.You have no idea how AAA works, do you. They don't do big budget gambles. These games are already big budget, to a cartoonish degree. A lot of these games cost more to make than Hollywood blockbusters.
>>733714583why
>>733712487afaik, if the CEO tells you to do something, there's no "convincing involved," you don't have much choice
>>733717497It's called Suggestion.
>>733712487There was already a multiplayer God of War. Step 1 should be making exactly that again, and step 2 should be fixing what you didn't like.
>>733712487I believe it just because they we're retard enough to choose god of war for their gaas attempt, they couldn't even think about doing something original, they just choose to do what they always did, ruin others IP.
>>733712583Epstein files
>>733712583Hes a snoy, so he came up with it on the spot. Anything to distract from the absolute failure that was Sonys management of Bluepoint and their ridiculous gaas addiction.
>>733712487>no source> the studio was the one that presented the multiplayer project for God of War >Bloodborne remakesounds completely fake you fucking retard
>>733718545>I believe itbecause you are retarded
>>733714362>Gravity Rush Remastered fucked up the sliding physics and misaligned half the games textures.Spoonfeed me please. I know their remakes are soulless as fuck, but are their remasters that bad?
How would these fags have ruined Bloodborne trying to "improve" it?
>>733712487>According to two former directors, the studio was the one that presented the multiplayer project for God of War during the development of God of War Ragnarok, and Sony approved it>Sony approved itit's funny how these corporate managerial structures never suffer the consequences for making bad decisions. I am very pro capitalism but the way things are now we have literal retards running western vidya companies and nobody can stop them. these are the same cunts which thought taking DEI bribe from larry and hiring mentally ill freaks and POCs was a good idea. we're witnessing a group of people sabotaging whole system from within and nobody can stop them.
>>733719653the doll is now black
>>733720003>I am a retard>But I am a retardEpstein is proud of you.
>>733718938Its funny how whenever there is bad news about Playstation shills will here come to deflect however they can. Already looking forward to snoy marketers spamming threads telling us how Marathon flopping isnt their fault as well.
>>733712689Exactly. The Reeeeesetera thread is a bunch of paid pajeets trying to save face of Sony.
>Why are you not sad about this studio that never done anything original and didn't release anything for years being closed?
>>733720676Its even funnier since Bend Studios is awaiting the same fate, i.e. worked on a live service game that got cancelled. Same with the other 6 studios that got killed since 2020, all worked on gaas games that were either cancelled in development or shortly after release (Firewalk). Yet I am supposed to believe that all these studios who never worked on GaaS games before went to Sony HQ and told them yeah its only GaaS games we are going to make, nothing else?
>>733718545>I believe itbecause you are reasonable
>>733720228You don’t have to be a genius or have definitive proof to piece together how things actually unfolded. You’re probably too young, too stupid, or both, so I’ll let it slide. The same thing happened with other snoy 1st party studios. They weren’t forced into chasing the live service slop. The people running those studios chose that direction because it was the so called “winning strategy” geniuses like Jim Ryan and Herman Hulst convinced themselves of. But some studios are more equal than others. Naughty Dog didn’t suffer the same consequences, even though their screw-up was monumental.
>>733720003>it's funny how these corporate managerial structures never suffer the consequences for making bad decisions.The Bluepoint ones got fired with the rest of them and the Sony bigwigs got punished by paying 4+ years worth of wages for nothing.
Sony's desastrous GaaS gen needs to be studied. How do you end up being so incompetent?
>>733723086>Sony bigwigs got punished by paying 4+ years worth of wages for nothing.a small price to pay considering all the billions they pocket each quarter from 30% extortion fee other studios/publishers pay just to be on their shitty gaystation platform. It's extremely ironic considering microsoft and chinese gacha is literally holding snoys and their bigwigs afloat during this gen. pathetic.
>>733721214> A bunch of awfull acquisitions> Insanely expensive operations with no revenue whatsoever ( bluepoint 4 years of development).> Barely any 1st party game and the few they released are loaded with "the message"> Concord is the biggest failure in the history of gaming, yet the (((journalists))) barely mention.Where are they getting the money from? If any other company did the same, it would be over in a couple of years.
>>733724993>Where are they getting the money from?jews.
>>733724993Doesn't Aniplex hate SIE because they're constantly leeching from the main company and draining all of their profits?
>>733720463Or they'll spam made up or overexaggerated shit about the competition (even more than usual). You can tell when snoys don't feel confident based on how many bait threads for the other platforms you see on the catalog.
>>733712487>presenting new projects focused on single-player remakes, including a Bloodborne remake but Sony didn't greenlight any of these projectsSony did a good thing? What the fuck
>>733712790>IXBT Games (https://ixbt.games, formerly — https://www.gametech.ru) is a specialized Russian information and analytical resourceit will never seize to amaze me how white golems (slavs) pretend to be a part of the first world cultural zeitgeist, bro everyone who could afford to purchase modern games and gaming hardware either escaped from that hellhole or plans to do so in the nearest future, who are they even writing those articles forI mean hell most major companies pulled the fuck out of that shithole for a reason, truly the most cucked """"people"""" on earth
>>733719380>their remakesAll they ever "made" were remasters. DeS and SotC both use the original game code under Bluepoint's gaint-baby character models and "we know better" environmental and dei changes.They never remade a game in their lifetime, they just painted over other people's work and recieved fame and adoration for it.
>>733719653Iosefka is now a trans woman (in lore) and half the npcs are now black-americans.The character and villagers now look like adult-babies with crazy eyes.
>>733724993They own loads of music and anime stuff And yes, its incredibly funny that they killed one of the 2 studios that actually made a complete exclusive for them after having them work on life service games.
>>733712565Unironically yes
>>733712689Why is that far fetched? Even movie directors do Studio movies to fund the actual shit they want to do. So doing a successful live-service game that makes a ton of money gives them lee-way to do something they actually want to do
>>733712720OP added that part in.the original article doesn't name games
>>733712565*from the last of us
>>733712487yep this all seems pretty obvious to anybody who hasn't been hypnotically conditioned to think their remakes are some kind of high art>sony buys the studio, says "okay show us what you can do, make a pitch" and gives them plenty of runway to make something cool>employees grumble and play around with notecards "brainstorming" for 4 years as some form of malicious compliance, all the while collecting a healthy paycheck>sony finally realizes it's a lost cause but still gives them a year to come up with another idea>"umm hows about you just hand us the source code to another one of your stonecold classics and let us play around with assets for another 4 years??"good riddance indeed
