Hopefully Studio Liverpool is alive and well in some form, they are the friggin' tech gods of Sony.
Mmm hmm. That's all I need to sleep well tonight.

Last I heard something was two weeks ago.
Liverpool Council were going to step in to help out if need be, they didn't want to lose a very well known work force in the city which has a) been around forever and b) employ a decent number of people. There were also ongoing talks with Sony themselves too. I am guessing one of the deals has gone through.

As far as I know, no that's not the case. It would of been, but I think due to the importance of the team they tried to keep everyone from moving on until things were sorted. I am sure some might of gone, but it wasn't like when Bigbig closed where it was dead immediately.

Wouldn't be the first time.
When he says "Liverpool Council" I think he is talking about the city itself having discussions with Sony

Of all the shut-downs we've witnessed for the past few years, this one hurt me the most. Liverpool are too talented and have a good history to be closed like that. It feels like a miracle at this point.
And one more thing, I'm actually one of the few people who really enjoyed Little Deviants, it was a big shame to have your company closed too.
Of course not, he's talking about the Liverpool office, which has a ton of Sony devs in it.

Surprised that the major European sites haven't jumped on this yet.
Sony owned SL, Sony closed SL, local council intervened and talked to Sony about how to make SL viable...?
That's how I read it.

Yep, Liverpool Council were in talks to independently fund "Liverpool Studio" if need be. There were also separate talks between Sony and "Liverpool Studio".
Hmmm. Hopefully there is Sony involvement so they can keep making Wipeout. Using the Wipeout 2048 pages to relay this news might hint at that.
This. I'd buy it on PSN if it matched retail. But SCEA are morons so it'll never happen.

That and they posted a render from Wipeout when posting the news.
