"Hello, and welcome to the newest episode of Kaleb’s Korner. This time, we will be going over how the first week of my job went and why I should never be in the presence of pretty girls."- KalebJKC94
I agree, he doesnt do well around girls... I remember that one time when Ladyluck was on the podcast.....
The Blu-ray Disc Association - which comprises key execs from Sony, Samsung, Disney and Warner Bros, amongst others - has told CVG that the capacity of the format will grow to "support the ambitions of games developers" in future.
The news comes after Sharp announced a new 100GB, triple-layered Blu-ray disc in July - dubbed 'BDXL'.
so ..if kojima continues to make big games ... and is followed by more devs, we might get 200gb blu ray in the future ?
dam its 8 in the morning and already yall jumpn on the 360 and which this article is not even about the 360.....
he didn't really say anything about the 360 alot of people really thought it wasnt needed just like they said about dvd. but this is just great news for gamers and game makers
WorthPlaying has confirmed that the rumored layoffs at Studio Liverpool are no longer rumor.
"wipEout HD developer Studio Liverpool, formerly known as Psygnosis, is being hit by layoffs as projects are canceled and people are being relocated to other studios. One former employee goes as far as to say that almost everybody got the pink slip virtually closing down the entire studio."
NOT STUDIO LIVERPOOL!?
SCE what are you doing to such a grand studio. Wipeout is awesome. why on earth would you close down a studio that makes such amazing games like Wipeout, and where did you relocate them to?
On 29 January 2010 Sony made the following public statement; "It has been decided that production on a number of projects within Studio Liverpool will cease immediately due to project prioritisation. Our North West Studio Group has been and will continue to be a vital cog in the WWS family, with a history of producing genre defining games such as MotorStorm, WipEout, Formula 1 and WRC and this decision will have no impact of the role that the North West Studio Group will play in the future of all PlayStation platforms".
What does this mean for the WipEout franchise long term?
Only time will tell - although it's clear that the flagship series was being mothballed for a while anyway, after a relative glut of titles since 2005's WipEout Pure.
WipEoutZone extends best wishes to everyone affected by this corporate cost-cutting maneuver.
