damn, UK teams are taking some heavy hits lately. here's hoping these can guys can move on something else.
Weren't they responsible for the PSONE Medieval series too?
Took what I loved most about Ghosts'n'Goblins/Ghouls'n'Ghosts into 3D LONG before Maximo.
/Pours one out for whoever is let go.
I think you're reading a little bit too much into that.
Ah, for fucks sake
Didn't BigBig do Motorstorm: AE? (also known as the second best portable racer of all time).
Gutted. This gen has totally destroyed us here in the UK.
BS! A lot of the best PSP games were SCE games.Really? It's not like Sony was exactly known for supporting the PSP well. Axing one of its dedicated portable developers is hard to see as a good sign...
This!Should of have closed Zipper inc!
By my calculations that puts it at over 30 UK studios closed since 2008
This makes Sony's "First Edition" bundle seem ever weirder to me.
Sony has 2 western portable studios. Bend and BigBig. Sony needs more portable studios not less. And no BigBig were not expendable at all.BS! A lot of the best PSP games were SCE games.
They have a lot of "2nd party studios" working on VITA games.
These two studios here were expendable, as it seems.
They still have a lot of 1st AND 2nd party studios.
No. Zipper made the best FPS this gen. At least the best FPS Sony have made this gen.This!
I still can't believe SCEA is still supporting them.
Cambridge has great tech guys and they made awesome game engines.
See Primal and Ghost Hunter on the PS2.
Zipper always made the worst looking games on the Playstation systems.
(Time to switch "Zipper Interactive" with "Ready at Dawn Studio")
Maybe they figure it's the only way they can get anyone to buy Little Deviants.
Reviews don't make it out to be so terrible.
Especially Eurogamers 7/10.
Some people like minigames.
Calling Takao!!!!!!!!!!!
Takao is going to be livid. Sony should make more portable studios not cutting the ones that they have.
Is LD garbage?
Sony don't like the cold Hence shutting down Northern studios.
Really sad for BigBig, they weren't a bad studio by any means. Is this due to the usual downsizing trend or is there something else going on here?
Best Motorstorm if you ask me >_>
Sony needs more portable studios not less. And no BigBig were not expendable at all.
Some MPs would also shut down one the biggest gaming studio in the world if they could (Rockstar North).
The demo I played at a mall was super fun.Sad about Big Big and it's also making me have doubts about the early edition bundle. Is LD garbage?
This is depressingLooks to me like Shu has decided that the UK studio output is not worth the amount of investment. Since he started his watch he cancelled Team SOHO's 'core' PS3 titles, scrapped an ambitious Cambridge new IP, downsized Studio Liverpool and merged its management with that of Evolution Studios and closed down BigBig. The only studio not to suffer at this point is Media Molecule, who have had a lot of investment.
The only industry the tories care about is the financial sector. creative industries? Pffhhhh!
Check the other (2nd party) studios which are under SCE's contract to develope VITA games.Sony has 2 western portable studios. Bend and BigBig. Sony needs more portable studios not less. And no BigBig were not expendable at all.
They made the most "uninteresting" looking games of this gen. Nobody cared about their games and they look boring. So just check the game sales.No. Zipper made the best FPS this gen. At least the best FPS Sony have made this gen.

Good time for MS to open up another studio in the UK.
Holy fuck.
MGS Soho, PlayGround Games, Ruffian and yes even Rare has various positions available. The same with Sega who opened a next-gen studio in the UK last year.There's a reason why studios are getting closed, not opened in the UK.
He speaks the truth, right now Ruffian is looking for:[Nintex];34167877 said:MGS Soho, PlayGround Games, Ruffian and yes even Rare has various positions available. The same with Sega who opened a next-gen studio in the UK last year.

I'd say that it is unrealistic to expect much better graphics from MAG concidering that it is 256 players. I cant speak much about SOCOM 4 since i havnt seen or played much of that.They are not capable of making an "AAA" looking game. Hell they have all the tech of the (PS3) world and look how their games are looking....
Really? :-/
Yet Team Ico and Polyphony are allowed to take all the time they want to make games, whilst the UK studios are closed.
So pissed off with the running(into the ground) of the UK studios.
