UK developer to close after 19 years as Sony makes changes to European studios structure
An independent UK developer says it’s been forced to announce and postpone its game on the same day, and lay off more than half of its staff, due to the sharp downturn in investment in the games industry.
A new studio based in Liverpool called Starlight Games is developing a futuristic sports title and is headed by the co-creator of WipEout.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
I hope all people affected by this are able to find jobs asap.It always sucks when people work hard and then find out they are being let go due to issues outside of their control.
"Sigh" Scalebond cancelled and GC closed. Thing is never looking good for video game Industry. I hope Platinum Games and other of GC staff will find a way.
That sucks. I hope the employees can find work soon.
Also, why hasn't Sony revived the MediEvil franchise? I'm sure a lot of PS fans would like to see a reboot. If Crash does well, then I hope Sony will look at this one as well.
That is disappointing.
Well that's not a good start to the year. Bad news for Playstation too it seems. Sucks big time! I wonder did rigs put them under or was this a long time coming??
