To me, this reads like one of the remakes BP proposed was the OG GoD games. It makes sense since they even wanted to do a live service game in that world initially. But SSM wanted the GoW remake in house for them and makes sense since that project is only in the early stages. In light of this new information also that it was BP who had initially proposed to do a live service game and then couldn't get any decent ideas greenlit after that, it seems like this is kind of BluePoint's own fault in the end imo. |
It's what comes to my mind too, thus why they were closed right after the God of War Trilogy was announced and revealed to be in-house by Santa Monica.
But that raises a big question: why not have Bluepoint help with it until they can get another game greenlit? That would both help Santa Monica have more time to work on their other projects, and that Bluepoint also have time to work things out, it was win-win for both studios, and they already helped Santa Monica with God of War Ragnarok so it would be a really smooth process.
Why close the studio then? If after the God of War Trilogy was out they STILL couldn't pitch a single game of their own, them make them remake another game, and if that ALSO doesn't work out... well, sure, then the studio was being a fad. But that is far from what happened now.
