Sony has confirmed that it has shut down Bluepoint Games, the team behind the remakes of Uncharted, Shadow of the Colossus, and Demon's Souls. The tech giant canceled a live-service game that Bluepoint had been working on last year, and has subsequently announced that the studio will shutter in March. In what appears to be an email sent to company employees (obtained via Reddit), Sony CEO Hermen Hulst allegedly stated that the decision "was not made lightly," and is the result of "rising development costs, slowed industry growth, changing player behavior, and broader economic headwinds."

Not sure if you'd be happy or sad that this never happened.

Bloodbornefans just lost a long-awaited remake, and it's just part of the fallout of losing a fan-favorite game studio.

More than ten years have passed since FromSoftware released what many consider one of the greatest games ever made. Bloodborne has earned a legendary status, and every rumor or whisper about its comeback sends the community into chaos. Today, that comeback is real... but not in the way anyone expected.

With more than 117 million units sold, it’s clear that Sony’s PS4 was a very successful console. It has naturally amassed a vast wealth of both first-party and third-party releases, and this list runs down 20 of the best games it has to offer in no particular order.

There aren’t many games that are able to deliver a stunning experience in such a smooth manner as Sony Santa Monica was able to do with the 2018 reboot. This story sets the protagonist in a new setting; new boss fights and outstanding level design. It’s both fresh and recognizable at the same time, and the new combat and the camera on offer also embodies the spirit of modern third person game while making it more intentional. The 2018 reboot is definitely one of the best games on the PS4, and is a great starting point for newcomers.

Bloodborne has sold over 9 million copies on PlayStation, with 400,000 sold post-Elden Ring's launch. Despite its popularity, there are no signs of a sequel, remaster, or PC port.
