'Sony might axe half of Wipeout dev'

Posted on Monday, 1 February 2010 by daffeh, source: Kotaku

Kotaku got confirmation from Sony Entertainment Europe that they have halted a number of projects at Studio Liverpool until the studio has been restructured. But the internet wouldn't be the internet if there weren't some rumours surfacing that claim things might be just a bit worse.

Originally known as Psygnosis the studio has been around for ages and is best know for its gravity racer Wipeout. Rumours have it that the studio might see half of the staff cut. Though the official statement Sony released doesn't mention this, the publisher refused to comment on the matter instead of just denying it.

It has been decided that production on a number of projects within Studio Liverpool will cease immediately due to project prioritisation. Our North West Studio Group has been and will continue to be a vital cog in the WWS family, with a history of producing genre defining games such as MotorStorm, WipEout, Formula 1 and WRC and this decision will have no impact of the role that the North West Studio Group will play in the future of all PlayStation platforms.

Another one to bite the dust?
