Jason Blundell back at SIE/Playstation? |UP| New studio under Sony?
- Thread starter Remember_Spinal
- Start date
So can Guerrilla and Insomniac, Killzone 2 and Resistance Fall of Man prove this.
Good on Sony for making all those games unplayable for over a decade on their own consoles.
Former Deviation Games Technical Director Michael Anthony:
"Hey, I hear that a lot of previous Deviation Games employees have setup their own studio at Sony working on an undisclosed new IP."
"All the people I see working there that have signed up are top class developers and hope that you can create a top class new IP with your studio that hopefully gives you all the time you need to create a quality product and not have to deal with red tape from previous projects."

I have questions.
1. Who is left behind?
2. If no one major then why did they leave a studio for another new studio that will house the exact same staff
3. If someone was left behind, I love to know the drama for it

Majority were left behind including Dave Anthony.
Looks like Sony probably wanted to acquire Deviation Games.
Instead they poached the talent and created their own studio.
Saved a lot of money and without the baggage that Deviation came with.
We know that a while before Deviation shutted down, the studio boss left. Some time later, we knew the studio boss and some ex-Deviation staff created a new SIE studio.
That means 3 things:
- The studio boss didn't leave for having an issue with Sony, left because having an issue with other top persons from the studio
- If Deviation did shut down was because Sony cancelled the game or moved it to other studio, not being happy with the studio or project management
- If SIE created a new studio with ex-Deviation employees including the studio head who left early, pretty likely means that Sony believed in the project and the team, but in that conflict was in the side of the people who left (who may even be working on that ex-Deviation game)
I assume this new SIE studio is rebooting the Deviation game following the initial idea of the project that the original studio head had, now without the other studio leads who wanted to do something else that didn't work.
We saw that all the other Sony shooters (Destiny, Helldivers, Marathon, Concord, Fairgame$) have a certain futuristic / sci-fi / space fantasy theme & setting.
Looking at the pedigree of the Deviation staff I think it's fair to assume this one would be a more "realistic" boots in the ground military FPS to compete more directly against CoD, Battlefield, Rainbow Six Siege or Tarkov regarding theme & setting, and also to further differentiate itself from the other Sony shooters.

Four years gone...with nothing to show. Wait for another four or five and hope that they actually make a game
There is a thread with this topic already existing.

Seems like it could be a good long term investment for PS6. With that said I think Sony response to the abk acquisition has been pretty good. I’d throw in arrowhead and hopefully an investment in Square enix and i feel like they’d be “Nintendo proof.”
