Well its always a sad thing when studios get closed. But i think its the right move by Sony. Sony must support studios like Naughty Dod and Santa Monica Studios which bring citically acclaimed games which sell.

And Zipper on the other hand doesnt bring anything great in the last years. All there games ( Socom 4, Mag, Unit13) werent big sellers and only mediocore. So i personally see no reason why Sony should support them any longer.

On the other hand Team Ico also havent any big seller but they bring unique experiences.

About time, it was only logical.

If anyone's to blame, it's PS3 owners for not buying the games. But in seriousness, the problem is that these were pretty good games competing with a sea of amazing games; many of which are also PS3 exclusive. Sony are just doing what MS has already done and paring back investment on the mature platform, which has already achieved critical mass. It's better to focus investment on the next generation and leave this gen to the hits.

Yeah, although what they're really good at is helping other people make great games. I don't think Flower or Journey would be what they are without Santa Monica, and it'll be interesting to see how thatgamecompany does on their own.

Fuck this, I liked MAG.

i wonder instead of closing zipper , would sony sell them to make some money back ?

I remember when people told me that Socom 2 is PS2s Halo 2 for online gaming.

Sad for the employees though. Hope they will land on their feet.

Sony should buy That game company

God of War !!! (admittedly, they have just made the same game 3 times, but it is still a really good game)

Yeah, thatgamecompany are going multiplatform aren't they? I assume they have got enough money from their previous games to give them enough time to make another interesting game, so I think they will be okay

They are, yeah. And they're hiring. I suppose they'll have to beef up a bit to make up for the loss of Sony Santa Monica's support.
