QuoteBREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

It wasn't a new IP. It was a GoW GAAS game. 

Yeah... Sony took the studio known for single player remakes and wanted them to make a GAAS game.

Gow multiplayer game. 

With no new project in the last year.

This is even worse than Microsoft I think.

Bought by Sony, released Demon's Souls, then shut down.

sony's GaaS persuit might kill PlayStation. this has been a lackluster generation and so many ream didn't ship anything.  just millions spent with nothing to show for it.

dang...

Could have used them for remastering/remaking other games, they had so many potential remasters/remakes they could have made.
