Roughly half of Evolution Studios (Driveclub) faces redundancy.

The game sold almost 1.5 million copies and it is the ultimate graphical for PS4, I think Sony is being a little to harsh for these guys. Studio closes in October 2015 after season pass content is finished I call it. Which is depressing since it is Sony's last studio making relevant arcade racing games. Coulsn't they just fire every single damn person who worked on the last guardian a production team that hasn't produced anything since the freaking PS2 era

a year late.

broken at launch anyways.

weather system delayed from the delayed launch.

ps+ version still a broken promise.

 

this game is a blackeye for playstation when it should have been a crowning jewel.   at the very least the management needs to be seriously reconsidered because all in all there is more bad than good even if the game a few months after launch is great.

Technical masterpiece, server problems, but the game wasn't broken as you call it.And even with all it's problems it is still better than knack, PS+ is indeed a bit unfortunate, weather system is added by request later in the development porcess but Sony probably wouldn't let them delay it twice. Even at launch the game is still one of the highest ranked sony exclusives above the order and knack and almost at the same score as Killzone SF. The game got better over time and most people think it is awesome when they play it.

If I compare that to Japan studio's master fails this is not Sony's biggest letdown let's recall the ones form Japan.

The pupeteer a commercial disaster

Knack a huge dissaster, a bad game which did nothing for the PS4

A team which is bussy doing nothing for over a gen by now costing more than driveclub has wihout a penny of profit.

The management could get thinned down though, but in the industrie it will probably mean the developers who made the cars, tracks and actualy the whole game will be kicked while the supervisors who should have detected these problems in the first place stay where they are till october 2015.
