Some may view this as a bad thing "Oh no, they are putting a B Team on it!", but the silver lining here is that everything is shared between all of these studios, so it isn't like a newly started team is starting from scratch.

Sony Bend showed what can be done when you have the main teams assets at your disposal.


Let us see where this leads.

... Sony bend isn't a very good comparison at all. They have been a studio for a LONG time and have made plenty of high quality games themselves. The Syphon Filter series is all down to them. In fact their two Syphon Filter PSP games are at 87 and 84% on gamerankings. While resistance retribution is at 83 and uncharted:GA at 81. So I guess sharing assets made them make worse games? 

The quality of the games have almost nothing to do with sharing assets with the main team and almost everything to do with the studio making it. If Activision leeds aren't that good then the portable versions won't be good regardless of sharing assets. If they are good then we will get good portable games. 

Well either way we don't know much about these guys and their talent levels but rather just the fact that all the tools are readily available to them from the get go, so with that I tend to have a bit brighter of an outlook for these titles.

Like I said, let us see where this leads. Makes more sense to me then complaining about which team is working on what, if you know what I mean. (Not accusing you of complaining )
