If anyone deserves to be get screwed it sure is Cory Barlog.
What? He made Sony Santa Monica's best game to date, God of War 2.

I really hope you're right, seems to make sense.I'm actually assuming the project they kept is God of War 4 by Cory Barlog, since I got the impression that Stig's project was just in pre-production for ages while most of the studio made God of War: Ascension.
Genuinely shocked. And bummed.
I like him but at the same time I've never forgiven him for Studio Liverpool. =(Its OK guys Shu has a funny Twitter account and he seems like a cool dude I wish he was my friend I bet we'd get along great.
So weird. The studio is expanding and hiring still. Maybe they were letting some less experienced employees go to make room for more new hires?
I bet the new IP was cancelled and there only making God of War 4 now
Update on IGN

This is a result of a cycle of resource re-alignment against priority growth areas within SCE WWS

Aren't games more popular now and selling more than ever? If so, why are we hearing news like this and news of big studios closing their doors?
...the fuck?!?! Here I thought SSM was an untouchable golden child.
This actually would make sense. Maybe the ones left couldn't hold the project together. It would be absolutely massive news if Stig or Barlog's games were cancelled.This is probably Todd Papy's team (Ascension). He left a while back.

I assume he's talking about PS3, PS4 and Vita.

Wow, it seems the best way to not get fired is working for Nintendo.
Stig's game? It was in development for a long time and no one even teased it or anything....

This Is a bs story. Need some actual numbers and project canceled if Any. Is this big or small time stuff? Really way too little info

Now 14 years later with 47 games published at this studio here in Santa Monica, it definitely feels like we made the right decision. As we continue our expansion, were preparing to say goodbye to this long-time home, and move into a new cutting-edge facility that will meet the needs of our growing team for the next era of Santa Monica Studio.

Approximate numbers are often revealed. That's even how we know the sizes of some development teams because they talk about percentages and such.What makes you think that kind of information would be revealed?
