Bluepoint have a sterling reputation (that SotC will only enhance further), and they have said before that they have a queue of projects lined up. Near-constant demand to remake and remaster games for various publishers. They can basically afford to pick and choose projects that they want to work on.
The fact that they are working on passion projects probably contributes to the quality of their work, so in that sense it would be a shame if they were bought out by Sony or anyone else.
Just hope whatever game you are nostalgic for gets the nod from them :)
You can tell that Sony and BluePoint put tremendous care into this remake. Finally ppl will understand that it is a ground up technical remake a la R&C. So excited for February 6th.
Bluepoint does a lot for Sony, but I think they should remain independent. They can only work on so many remakes/ remasters. The day they buy them is the day they just say screw BC entirely and we'll be paying for remakes/ remasters. Great developers, but I think it's in everyone's best interest for them to stay independent.
Remember Ready At Dawn? You're basically expecting Sony to do the same thing with them... isn't there a saying like, if you don't learn from your past then you're doomed to repeat history?
I think they should pull a polyphony digital and have a 3rd party / 1st party partnership but to acquire them will probably change their fate for the worst. Expectations will be too high.
:D The game truly looks amazing on current Gen. Sony really should look into purchasing bluepoint games because they are truly talented devs.
The fight with Phalanx should be as epic as it was back in the day.
Can't wait to play this amazing game again for the first time! Bravo SONY and Bluepoint!
Good job Bluepoint. Please make Demon's Souls next.
This year's coming out swinging straight out of the gate! Can't wait to check this out.
