Studio Liverpool gone

[Mikahail]

That corporate language disgusts me.

"However, it was felt that by focusing our investment plans on other Studios that are currently working on exciting new projects, we would be in a stronger position to offer the best possible content for our consumers."
The only exciting new project I saw was the new AAA title SL was working on. Maybe WipEout Trinity, maybe not. In fact, it was a certainly new high-quality game to come. Continue commiting suicide Sony, if it pleases you so much.

Does this mean WipEout is no more?

Not necessarily. The IP will presumably remain in the Sony portfolio. Whether they ever use it again and who will develop if they do are different matters.

Sad news indeed.

Now the only hope is a WipEout-ish game developed by Evolution Studios... RIP Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool, an important piece in PlayStation's history...

The only thing I do not understand... What happened 2 years ago? Sony also closed the Studio, no? Was it reopened, or what?

UPD. Oh, I'm wrong, two years ago Sony closed some project, not the studio.

Good bye WipEout. Good bye video game ...

No seriously, I can't believe that ...

This is awful.

Apparently, they were working on a WipEout title since 12 to 18 months, from a Eurogamer source. If it's true, well played Sony. *applause with the most irony available*

This is terrible.

Well, welcome to the list of studios that was lost that I enjoyed, Studio Liverpool. I really didn't think I had to add to this list. There was only one on it, PopTop Software.

I just had a thought, what about online? Does this mean the HD and 2048 servers will be shut down?
