Tarsier Studios has announced it has become a first-party SCE developer.
The Swedish company, the developer of Ragdoll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic, announced the deal on its website, confirming an unannounced project in the process.
“Tarsier Studios has signed an exclusive first party deal with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Together with SCEE, Tarsier Studios will bring their high quality visuals and entertainment talent to the ever growing SCEE game portfolio in the form of a yet to be announced project.”
The studio also announced it’s currently working on DLC for LittleBigPlanet 2.
An interview with Oliver Merlov (CEO, Tarsier Studios) where I get to ask him about Reanimal, and whether he envisages the game to become its own long-standing franchise. I also get to ask him as to what effect being acquired by Embracer Group has had on the studio, and whether he thinks the studio would be open to working on its own version of an existing fairy tale. All this and so much more in what is (ultimately) quite an extensive interview… Enjoy!
Chris Barrett was one of the prominent developers who was fired a few years ago during the Me Too scandals that hit the game industry.
girl, 8 women reported you.
thats how that works. u wrre not "entitled" to anything.
shouldnt have been a creep.
"While that sounds despicable, Barrett was accused of crossing the line between professional and personal behavior. In the course of its journalistic investigation of the Me Too scandal, Bloomberg interviewed eight people, including multiple women who reported Barrett, as well as other Bungie employees who were either involved in the investigation or spoke to the women involved."
Yeah, sounds like you did it, dawg.
PlayStation is celebrating its upcoming 30th Anniversary by letting you sit on its logo while riding the Victoria Line in London.
Reminds me of Sony's other awesome PS promotion in London, such as OXO tower and London underground roundels. All with shapes replaced with PlayStation's iconic 4 controller shapes.
Awesome promotion, Sony!
Oh Snap. Another first party goodness.
Awesome
What all games have Tarsier worked on?
Smaller scale purchase this time. This makes me think Sony has seen something really good from them.
Awesome!
next up Sucker Punch :D
I really hope The City of Metronome will get released now that Tarsier is first party. I think that game looks like it would be a very fun adventure game. So I hope The City of Metronome will come out.
