I thought Sony Liverpool and Evolution were merged in 2008/09?

My understanding is they are under the same roof, but still are two different companies



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

there are rumors about a "certain" move title, that had been far in development

...and i haven't heard anything about Sorcery in a while


The game Sorcery, which was first announced at last year's E3 event, has gotten a few new details today. The title is being developed almost specifically for usage with the PS Move motion controller and its wizard-themed world looks like one awesome adventure.

You play as a young sorcerer's apprentice as you try to stop the Nightmare Queen, who just broke an ancient pact, and is planning to put the land into eternal night. It is up to you and your controller to fight off her armies and learn spells to keep yourself moving through the Faerie Kingdoms.

With a total of 12 unique spells, hundreds of potions (with many more combinations), and a load of cool items, Sorcery is sure looking awesome. Check out what to expect from it right here:

Key Features
  » Cast spells and use items with PS Move movements.
  » Combine spell movements for special powers.
  » Develop your character into an unstoppable wizard.
  » Rescue children from the Realms Below, discover lost knowledge from the City of the Drowned, and do much more in the Faerie Kingdoms.

Stay tuned here at KingPS3.com for all future updates on Sorcery. We will keep you up to date.

YAY



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

as long as no ones losing there jobs its fine. 

SONY will most likely be moving resources into NGP titles 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

I just hope that motorstorm and wipeout stay with us for many more years.

What have Studio Liverpool been working on since WipeOut HD was done? Psygnosis were one of the best developers in the Playstation 1 era.

That said, looking at SCEE jobs, they are looking for localisation testers at the moment.

 

More problems in the UK games industry. We have some of the best developers in the world and the UK gaming industry is far bigger then either of our film or music industries both in import and exports yet our government cuts fundings and incentives to help companies and development studios go out of business.

Ms doesnt seem to be cutting UK staff... if anything they are creating more

They are? in whichs studio? Rare or Lionhead? Either way both of these studios are big and MS need to keep hold of them, more so the latter. They don't have any other studios here do they?

There are lots of important studios in this country and many have fallen recently. While SCEE, MS and EA can support the big ones, others are falling. Our government needs to reinstate the tax benefits program to help them before we lose our biggest entertainment industry.



Hmm, pie.

Looks like 20 people let go from Evolution/Liverpool and London could be shut down for good.



hmm...i really need a new HD WipeOut for my PS3...



The only WipeOut you'll be getting is on NGP
