PlayStation Studio Bluepoint Is Working on a New IP – Report

It's true. Partner Studio Bluepoint won't do shit on their own. Sony should have been more clear right when they acquired them. Now we're gonna have more meltdowns coming when the truth will be out in the open eventually

Bluepoint can work with the same Xdev, Japan studio people who helped them make SOTC and Demons Souls. The were the majority of the programmers

Yes, they could work for a Japan Studio (now Team Asobi) leaded game again but I see Team Asobi working alone on smaller games like Astro Bot, and Bluepoint working instead as one of the many teams who work on a big AAA game leaded by somebody else.

XDEV (a.k.a. External Development) mostly works managing external teams who make 2nd party games, plus also providing internal or external support/outsourcing teams for both 2nd party and also internally developed 1st party games.

In games like GoWR, XDEV -in this case their Santa Monica team- managed the support that different internal and external (outsourcing) teams provided to SSM mostly in the art area (character art, envorionment art, lighting, UI, animation, vfx...), with teams like Bluepoint and like a dozen external art outsourcing teams.

Then there's also PlayStation Studios Creative Arts, an internal Sony team that in case of GoWR provided help in Production, Art, Motion Capture, Animation, Programming, Music, Sound, R&D, Operations...

Plus there's the internal global PS Studios teams who work in all teams regarding Localization, User research, marketing, operations, QA, Compilance, Release Management, Tools & Technology, Finance, Marketing etc.

I hope that it'll be a good game though!

They said this from the beginning but people here claimed the statement to be vague and that they are just supporting original content by other studios. They based on two main reasons which I cannot oppose: first, they are set as a support studio as officially communicated by SIE. Second, they don't seem to have main designer and creative director who can actually produce an original game ( at least not known publicly).

My theory is that they are working with the some people of the group who worked on Demon's Souls remake or SotC who probably formed a new studio in Japan that is not yet announced.
