  • Sony zatvara legendarni studio bez objašnjenja
  • Bluepoint radio na Remakeu i novom IP-u
  • Community u šoku: Što sada s nedovršenim projektima?

Sony je bez ikakvog objašnjenja zatvorio Bluepoint Games, studio poznat po remek-djelima poput Shadow of the Colossus i Demon’s Souls remaka. Prema dostupnim informacijama, studio je radio na novom ip-u i potencijalnom nastavku Returnal, ali sve je prekinuto preko noći. Iako Sony često reorganizira studije, ovaj potez djeluje osobito brutalan — pogotovo jer Bluepoint nije imao problema s kvalitetom ili budžetom. Igrači su već počeli postavljati pitanja: Što će biti s nedovršenim projektima? Hoće li Sony barem objaviti službenu izjavu? Za razliku od tipičnih otpuštanja, ovdje nema ni traga restrukturiranju ili prebacivanju tima u drugi studio. Community reagira s mješavinom šoka i bijesa, pogotovo jer su mnogi očekivali da će Bluepointov sljedeći projekt biti sljedeći veliki Sonyjev exclusiv. Umjesto toga, dobili smo tišinu — što je možda najgori mogući odgovor.

Patch koji nije stigao — evo što igračima ostaje

Patch koji nije stigao — evo što igračima ostaje

Ono što ovaj slučaj zapravo otkriva je hladan ekonomski račun: Sony očito više ne vidi vrijednost u studiju koji je godinama donosio kritički hvaljene igre. Ali za igrače, to je gubitak koji se teško kvantificira. Bluepoint nije bio samo još jedan developer — bio je studio koji je razumio kako se reimaginirati klasike bez gubljenja duše originala. Demon’s Souls remake, na primjer, nije bio samo grafički facelift; bio je to potpuno nov pristup koji je poštovao izvornik, a pritom dodao suptilna poboljšanja koja su starijim igračima bila nedostupna. Trenutno je najveća briga što će biti s Returnal ekspanzijom ili novim ip-om koji su bili u razvoju. Ako Sony nema planove za njihovo dovršavanje, mogli bismo svjedočiti još jednom primjeru zapuštene igre — trendu koji postaje sve češći u industriji. Steam forumi su već puni teorija, od otkupa od strane konkurencije do potpune špekulacije. Ali bez službene potvrde, sve ostaje na razini nagađanja. Za igračku zajednicu, ovo je još jedan podsjetnik da čak i 'legendarnim' studijima nema jamstva opstanka. U svijetu gdje su remasteri i remakei siguran profit, Sonyjeva odluka izgleda još nerazumnije — pogotovo jer su Bluepointovi projekti redovito bili hitovi.

Bluepoint Games je bio studio koji je stvorio neke od najboljih igara u posljednjih nekoliko godina. Njihov nestanak će se osjetiti u cijeloj igračkoj industriji. Igrači će morati pronaći nove studije i igre koje će ih zabaviti.
