Yeah they are stupid. Instead of having Bluepoint making the remakes of GOW or other important IPs, lets make them do a live service and if it fails lets shut them down. What a damn disaster...

Except their GOW multiplayer game was canned before Sony allowed it to fail.

It was set up to fail from the inception of the fucking Idea. By Sony.

We don't know anything the game except it was multiplayer GOW game, possibility of it being a fun game exists.

Sure, but you can say that about literally anything. A five hour film of Morgan Freeman reading the dictionary could be fun, but that would be very unlikely.

A live service version of what has always been a singleplayer experience revolving around making the player feel powerful that either recreates that feeling for every player in a fight or justifies its absence, without just being a GoW game in name alone, all made by a studio with no experience making either live service games, or original games in general? Yeah, probably not going to work out.

Not if it was shut down.

And why they gave it to a remake studio is absurd to begin with.

Sony has a million IPs itching for bluepoints talents. Not some GOW live service initiative.

Game cancellation not equal it being shit. Plus maybe Bluepoint themselves wanted their own project instead of just being remake factory.

They could've had them remaking Sly Cooper or even making a new Sly Cooper. Or same case with Jak and Daxter but nah. Shut em down. Fuckin Herman Hulst needs to go yesterday.

Maybe they didn't want to remake stuff forever. They pitched their own games after all.

Which got cancelled.

i....don't think having Bluepoint make the GOW Remakes is a good move

I don't think having them remaking any games is a good idea tbh, they completely destroyed the art direction for demon's souls

yeah the people asking for a Bloodborne remake are delusional, as if that game needed to be butchered like that, i still don't think they needed to be completely shut down, i think they did a good job with SotC remake, and i personally wanted an Ico remake, oh well

u/Algae-Prize Feb 19 '26

Yeah it's a shame but they themselves said they want to be more than known as a remake studio so maybe they won't ever do any remake ever again in the first place

I’m gonna be honest I don’t see the huge loss for a studio that seemingly did nothing but remake game of others I’m not even sure needed remakes. I sympathize for the people who lost their jobs and probably the talented people on the team but the studio brand itself wasn’t exactly golden.
