The same Japan Studio that was working on Silent Hill right? Very interesting…are people gonna still say Mochizuki is a hack?
Hope all the laid off staff land on their feet.

man, I really wanted to see a Gravity Rush 3. Hope they sell the IP to someone else now that they fucking killed the in-house development over there.
Bloodborne was From Software though. Which is kinda my point. It was far better and likely more successful than any of the games the studio developed internally.
Yeah, that’s true.
I thought they were working on a second Silent Hill reboot game ?? 
They partnered on Bloodborne. Just like the partnered on Demon’s Souls.
It’s not like we were getting a new PaRappa or Wild Arms anytime soon regardless. Still, it just feels like Sony is doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on cinematic third-person AAAA blockbusters, which are great, but there’s something to be said for diversity of content too.
I still believe that Japan Studio is developing Silent Hill remake because it says “original” games. Silent Hill would not be an original game.
EDIT: Never mind. I don’t believe that anymore since they’re just keeping the small Asobi team.
Watching Giantbomb try to spin this as “concise” and “having interesting games”.
So great.
Bloodborne Producer Masaaki Yamagiwa is leaving Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio
The way I see it, there is no way studios like Media Molecule and PixelOpus survive this gen. VGC’s article says they are winding down Japan Studio not for being unprofitable but for being NOT PROFITABLE ENOUGH, which sounds scary. If I worked at Media Molecule I would be afraid.
Confirmed now btw:
From what I gather despite having games developed internally they were also the publishing arm of sony japan. So the partnership with their externally developed games were more like a publisher than a co development partner.

Remedy and PlayStation Studios working together?
One of the comments mentions that apparently the person tends to post listings of jobs for several companies, not necessarily making exclusives for Sony. So could be something or nothing at all.

Great pick up for Sony. Wonder if it’s a new IP or based on a licence?
