Title: Psygnosis have shut down Post by: Seno on August 22, 2012, 07:01:37 PM Kind of depressing news, Sony have shut down Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool. It just seems a shame that a developer that made such iconic games like lemmings and wipeout should have such an ignominious end, no drama just the result of corporate restructuring.

I'll miss their logo - I loved it. *points to username*

I feel the same way :'(Title: Re: Psygnosis have shut down Post by: Shepy on August 23, 2012, 12:02:30 PM It's always sad to see developers shut down.
Title: Re: Psygnosis have shut down Post by: Sirgin on August 24, 2012, 09:22:54 PM What? And there was just a Wipeout game on the Vita, too. I thought Wipeout was a popular series. This is how they get thanked for their services?
Just wait until Sony lets a random studio develop the next Wipeout game and completely mess it up.
