Remedy is gearing up to reveal its latest project at this year’s E3, currently known simply as Project 7.
P7 was first spotted in an earnings report for Remedy, with a suggested launch window being 2019. Not much is known about Project 7 aside from it being a brand new title gracing PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with more information coming as a part of 505 Games’ lineup. It is, however, expected to retain the studio’s traditional cinematic storytelling approach, while incorporating online elements.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
Former Deviation Games developers have formed a new studio at Sony Interactive Entertainment in order to work on a brand new PlayStation IP.
Well that's an awesome and very surprising turnaround. Cheers to the new studio and what they'll build!
It is not about money it is about talent.. get that talent in and they will take care of you and earn you that money
I had picked up on this before the Deviation shutdown was announced. It was pointed out that a senior manager of the team had joined PlayStation prior to the close. It was a little suspicious because from the outside in, it appeared had basically poached Deviation's talent.
Reading some of the other comments it seems this is understood to be the case.
In other news it would be wild if Sony winds up announcing a brand new internal studio.
That's..... confusing, so shut down but just reformed and same employer 🤔 sounds like pretty much what happened to Japan Studio basically just being rebranded as Asobi
It is odd one I don't know how business deals work or the law of that kind of stuff. But is it possible Sony reached out and said hey we want you apart of Sony but don't want to purchase you for what ever reason. How about use disband and we will open a studio and hire you guys type of thing. Is that even possible?
I guess the deviation team fell apart and didn't deliver good progress on what they pitched (they overhyped themselves when the team was announced)so Sony shut them down. They regrouped with a new team and a new pitch so Sony is giving them another shot.
And this time they are keeping it quiet to keep pressure down on the team. So people aren't asking everyday what deviation(or whatever the new team is called) is doing.
Edit: Also Sony never owned them. They just ended their partnership with them. Deviation decided to close on their own.
Good point. You know, i was thinking of Days Gone too. They pitch an idea to Sony for Days Gone 2 but Sony didnt like it do they scrapped the whole thing. Maybe if a good pitch came by...they'd reconsider it.
To be fair, Sony didn't shut them down. Devation was independent. Sony pulled funding on the project they were working on. As a result, they couldn't run so Devation decided to close on their own.
Good for them that they were able to work it out. Hopefully they're developing something interesting.
Insider Gaming sat down with MADFINGER games to talk about Gray Zone Warfare's about the state of the game, its early success, and its future.
Long-time Remedy fan, I'm hoping this is something special that harkens back to their glory days.
They took a risk that didn't pay off with Quantum Break. Looking forward to witnessing this reveal at E3.
I want to get excited because Remedy and all that but they've said they are focusing on online features with this one...they are a single player driven company and with Quantum Break couldn't even deliver on that
Oh boy. Can we expect another smash hit like Quantum Break?
Oh wait, it's another online focused piled of trash. I can hardly contain myself.
I would like to see something similar to Alan wake. I want a good third person horror title.
I want Alan Wake :(
Still very excited to see their next project. A very talented studio with some fantastic ideas.
