Forums - Gaming - If you could save one now defunct studio, who would it be and why?

If you were given the power to go back and save one now-dead developer from being closed down, which one would you choose, and why?

Zipper, but independent and not a part of Sony.

So we can get a real SOCOM 4, plus maybe another MAG and Crimson Skies 2.



Easy answer: New World Computing! They invented some of the best game series like Might and Magic, Heroes of Might and Magic and King's Bounty. They also were not really in trouble, they only did go under because their parent company 3DO did costly experiments and bankrupted all. Had they survived they would've kept creating amazing RPGs and strategy games, I am sure.

Blue Tongue - Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis.
Westood. - Command and Conquer.
Maxis. - Sim City.
Bullfrog. - Dungeon Keeper.
Bizarre Creations. - Blur.

...What a decision to make. JFC.

...And yet I would have to go back and save Ensemble Studios for Age of Empires, they never made a terrible game in their entire existence.

My first thought was Japan Studio, but it sort of lives on in Team Asobi — which is doing very well for itself.

I think, for me, it has to be Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool. I would have loved to see what they could have done on PS4 and PS5.

Psygnosis, initially got know for Lemmings ended on Wipeout.



I want more Wipeout in VR!



I would have said Bullfrog but we got Two point Hospital so eh. Probably Evolution studios just to see the graphics of Drive Club 2.



Origin Systems, just to revive the Ultima series.

A proper port of DriveClub (full game with bikes and weather) to VR with HDR would be absolutely amazing on PSVR2. GT7 is great but the weather still looks a generation behind DriveClub's weather system.

Let me experience this in VR



There is VRider SBK now, functional but like going back to ps2 :/



The screen doesn't tilt in the corners which throws me off, I can't stay on the track lol. Maybe the devs will unlock the camera from the horizon, plenty others are requesting it.

Great choice - and obligatory "fuck Ubisoft" for sitting on main Might & Magic IP and doing nothing with it for 20+ years (apart from X: Legacy, which was so-so).
