I'm utterly gutted at Liverpool Studio closing. They've been a part of my life since before PlayStation as they were fomerly Psygnosis releasing games on the old Home Computers (Atari/Amiga etc). Shadow of the Beast remake NEEDED to happen! :(
Apparently a lot of the talent from the company are already being picked up by other developers. Liverpool is actually pretty close to me as it's only about a an hour and a half's drive from here and there are a surprising number of high profile developers around here including studios for Activision, Rockstar, Codemasters and Sony have other studios like Evolution. Fingers crossed for everyone there. It's always sad to read about this stuff, especially for a team that has been together for like 20+ years!
One thing I'm noticing this genrations is the studios in the line for shuttering are the ones which are making great games that are critically acclaimed but for some reason not selling at all, I guess because they don't involve marines shooting things :( The market for racing games especially this generation seems to have fallen through the floor.
