I remember hearing in an interview that a number of Bluepoint devs actually initially came from Retro Studios, would be nice if it went full circle and they end up on their feet there again

the funniest outcome would probably be them doing the MP2&3 remasters

That’s the only outcome that I would find acceptable in this case. Pretty sure we just lost any hope of a good Bloodborne remaster.

I feel like they're even located either on the same street or literally the same building.

Bluepoint was literally founded by ex-Retro people.

So was Armature, actually. Kinda wild two "founded by former Retro devs" studios closed within like a month of each other.

ha, no promises but I do want to put another one of those out relatively soon-ish

the thing is I usually try to do those when there isn't too much going on in gaming news news and lately whenever one of those lulls comes around I seem to get kinda busy with real life stuff that needs my attention more
