The Spider-man game was just a pitch. It was never in actual development. And Twisted Metal was only ever in pre-production, for whatever that is worth. I'm sure it barely took up any time for FireSprite. The Destiny spin-off was dropped by Bungie; Im not sure Sony had anything to do with it. I could be wrong. Still, would've been nice to see some of this stuff come to fruition. |

Yeah, people act like it was a full blown title but when you actually read the rumours/interviews, it seemed to have barely got past concept stages, as in a few people went into and meeting room, talked about it for about 30 mins and they decided, "Hmm, maybe not". What I found hilarious is that people mentioned how "It was a battle royal". These people not ever having actually played Twisted Metal before, obviously. |
For a 30 min talk it took a chunk of Firesprite out when that game and all the other services were cancelled so ... yeah, 30 minutes can cost a lot lol.
And the point is not how much progress the games in that list had when they were cancelled, they are just placeholders. The point is about development work that should have been released (PixelOpus), that could have been done instead (London Studio, Bend, BP) or that could be more advanced in their development cycle but they weren't/aren't because when those projects were cancelled the studios making them were closed or lost time and developers as a consequence.

I think my answer above in this multiquote about Firesprite basically covers the first two points and I wish Bungie didn't count but Sony is including them in every PlayStation presentation now so they count now I guess LOL.
If they count then doesn't matter who cancelled it, it's another future game in the PS Studios pipeline that was lost and that could have been in the development right now by all the people who was fired.
