Well atleast Media Molecule didnt get any cuts.
Funny thing is that some people were buying the PS4 because those people were making games for the PS4
That being said, I'm sure these games will churn out
Plus the PS4 has no AF... What the hell is going on?
Ugh..... my head hurts...Plus the PS4 has no AF... What the hell is going on?
can't speak for all studios but if a project isn't looking good, it's not looking good right? why waste more time making it. SMS just went thru this and the same is happening here.
That being said... there are plenty of projects still going on.

Ummm, what are you talking about? The PS4 most definitely has AF. If a game is not using it it is the developer's fault. This has been mentioned several times. A Sony developer confirmed this. Search the forum and you should find it.

http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/drive...ment_not_affected_by_evolution_layoffs_2.htmlThe development of DriveClub "will not be affected" by today's layoffs at Evolution Studios, SCEE has confirmed to VideoGamer.com.
The clarification follows this morning's report that Sony would be leading a "focused restructure" at three of its European studios – including Evolution.
An exact number of those affected by the layoffs has yet to be confirmed.
Nevertheless, DriveClub is still without a release date following its delay late last year and is technically still on track for an "early 2014" launch.
Plus the PS4 has no AF... What the hell is going on?
We'd still have Playground Games. And the yearly Need for Speed release (whatever that's worth)Someone get on Spencer so he can reach out to ex-Evo devs and create a new PGR dev.
So if Evo were to be shuttered, that would probably be the death of the arcade racer...dark days ahead.
Any update here?
How many lines can we erase here right now?
Such a stupid joke and piss poor timing.
Ugh the list keeps shrinking.Take away 3.
Fake edit: If I'm wrong demonite, I'll pm you, and you can increase decrease based on that.

It was a direct reference to a post the OP made in another thread.Ugh..... my head hurts...
I hope that was sarcasm....
True, and I apologize. I'll edit now.Such a stupid joke and piss poor timing.
What's interesting is, that this list is seemingly alphabetically ordered. So Crash Bandicoot is possible (hell, a lot in the A-D range is possible), Jak & Daxter is impossible. Also, probably more interesting: Ratchet & Clank and Resistance are ruled out, too.Any update here?

I should stop posting in this topic since I don't want to put myself at risk lol

Lol. Thanks. Kinda mistaken there.He is the Design Director of Driveclub.

1. New generationWhat is up with Sony lately? I know it's probably business-as-usual, but still...we've been getting a ton of bad press recently about Sony staff leaving / projects getting shut down...
Jack Tretton resigns, the excellent Amy Hennig resigns, SSM project cancelled, two projects cancelled here and studios get shuffled about with layoffs, DriveClub delayed again and again...it gets a bit concerning after a while, you know? Just what IS going on at WWS, guys?
Hmm... I guess this implies that Cambridge wasn't working on a PS4 title of its own ( or yet to start ), but probably only just making maps for Shadow Fall.
Hard to imagine that a layoff at what is already a small team not killing off any PS4 project they have.

1. New generation
2. Studios with lackluster output (last years / gen) getting a "reboot"
See SCE Japan Studio.
We had this discussion in every "layoff" thread in the past. Somehow, we have to repeat this every time.
That is, assuming the next R&C game doesn't have a different title.
I mean, for all we know it could be 'Defenders Of The Galaxy: Ratchet & Clank'
I can't think of a silly innuendo title, sadly.
Edit: In the same way as the first skylanders was called 'Skylanders: Spyro's Advenutre'
Interestingly, there's space for another game beginning with 'S' in that list. Could a certain raccoon be returning?
They have 2 current gen consoles. One's doing well and the other? Mmmm let's keep that quiet shall we?
Nintendo have 1 doing well and one poorly and they are in severe dire straits while everything's apparently rosy in Sony's garden.
Well, the "over 30 games in production, 20 in first year" does sound a bit over-ambitious. It's not surprising if a few gets cancelled as some projects don't really seem to be going anywhere and others perhaps become redundant (i.e. does Sony need another third person shooter from some team when they've already got Uncharted 4, The Order and even possibly planning Last of Us 2? ). Sony did this during PS3's first year as well. They launched a new console and had started all kinds of new projects before launch and were even demonstrating some of them (Eight Days, The Getaway PS3, that one Eyetoy-game IIRC), only to cancel quite a few of them in the end.What is up with Sony lately?

Defenders of Uranus: Ratchet and Clank.
Sorted.
Also that list totally leaves space for Colony Wars.
MM is small as shit and LBP was very successful. They will be fine. That Tearaway was a critical success is all that matters for a Vita title.I wonder how long they will last. Tearaway was a big flop on Vita and there must be some pressure to be cost effective. Wouldn't be surprised if the core leave to form their own studio effectively shutting the studio down. They could probably be very succesful as a multiplat developer.
I really don't understand laying off Evolution staff. You'd think it would be all hands on deck to get DriveClub out the door.
