(nieuws) Codemasters neemt Evolution Studios over
Evolution Studios sluit de deuren...

De makers van Driveclub (PS4), MotorStorm (PS3) en WRC (PS2).
Regular reviews take place throughout SCE Worldwide Studios, ensuring that the resources that we have in such a competitive landscape can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects.
As part of this process we have reviewed and assessed all current projects and plans for the short and medium term and have decided to make some changes to the European studios structure.
As a result, it has been decided that Evolution Studio will close.
It is regrettable that this decision will lead to compulsory redundancies. We accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high calibre staff but by focusing on other Studios that already have exciting new projects in development we believe we will be in a stronger position going forward and able to offer the best possible content of the highest quality for our consumers.
Where possible we will try to reallocate people onto other projects. If appropriate opportunities are not possible within the company, we will assist staff in any way we can, including speaking with local employers and with other development companies.
Evolution has been an important part of SCE Worldwide Studios for over 10 years - working on ground-breaking racing titles like WRC, Motorstorm and DRIVECLUB.
This decision should not take anything away from the great work that Evolution has produced.

Spoiler:
update 11 april 2016:
Codemasters neemt de studio over!
Evolution Studios joins Codemasters, Hocking becomes VP of product | GamesIndustry.bizCodemasters has stepped in with an unprecedented deal to keep the team together and working on new projects, bringing Evolution Studios as a whole into the fold and making it a part of the Codemasters family. Most of the staff, including co-founder Mick Hocking, will be joining Codemasters as a separate team, working together from the same offices to produce brand new IP for the British racing specialist. Previous IP remains in the hands of Sony, but Hocking and his team will, essentially, continue Evolution Studios' work under new ownership.Last edited by Goldrusher; 11-04-2016 at 18:07.

Weer een top studio minder :/. Hopelijk kunnen ze elders terecht. De tech die ze in Driveclub gestoken hebben is toch de moeite voor andere games bijvoorbeeld GT...

Tja, ik kan mij inbeelden dat de verdiensten rond deze game niet geworden zijn wat Sony er van had verwacht. Ondanks de ferme na-release ondersteuning gaan ze veel centjes misgelopen zijn omwille van de gefaalde release, denk ik.
Het maakt het niet minder erg, welteverstaan...Critical killing is an art unto itself... And I am Rembrandt, sucker!

Dat is dan natuurlijk wel niet meer exclusief voor Playstation ... goed nieuws natuurlijk, hoop alleen maar dat ze hun niveau kunnen houden.
