I think this game was a perfect opportunity for BP. They have a full proper art team now because of this remaster. So unless they have been given the opportunity to do another large scale remaster in the same vein, they'll have staff just sitting there costing money... unless of course they are going to make their own game.

So I think its possible they might be scaling up to make their own or sponsored game.

Sony has no use for a studio who can't produce their own original content and it would be far better in Bluepoint's case to remain independent since it's their only chance to gain more contracts from other publishers aside from Sony (they don't have a lot of franchises to remaster anymore) plus they don't have to worry about the risk of running or funding another team ... 

Locking down Bluepoint to Sony would kill most of the studio's outside opportunities and Sony can't keep funding Bluepoint either if they run out of work so I imagine it's in the studio's interest to pursue more possibilities rather than falling into a false sense of security ... (that doesn't mean Sony can't get the most amount of benefit through this current relationship they have with the studio much like Insomniac Games scenario or a similar situation between Nintendo and Rare just before the latter crapped out)

It was Nintendo that left Rare, not the other way around. Good decision as well, in hind-sight.
