Why would Sony "sign up" a studio they thought so high of to throw in the dumpster?

why would they go back to making wipeout, when the their studio was closed partly due to it not being that big of a seller. its going to be a new ip.

Insane For Sony
Explains awesome Playroom robot designs maybe? The game is perhaps the best functioning AR game I've ever seen. Lots of fun for kids.

Make sure to tweet to Sony to market their game if they make one.
We know. But let us dream just for a little while. Just one moment.

Abandon all hope.
It's not Wipeout guys xD They pretty much confirm it isn't even PS exclusive. Though, I wouldn't be again one of Sony's trademark 3 game contracts. I want those to become prevalent considering how they gave rise to ThatGameCompany and Giant Sparrow is giving off those vibes really hardcore.

Apparently Sony Liverpool had a Wipeout and stealth game pretty far into development when they were axed. Would be great if one or both of those could return via Firesprite.
Anyway, good luck new studio, I loved Psygnosis, Sony Liverpool and hopefully you guys too down the line.

Had? throw us a bone man.
yeah maybe they can make some good looking ships that the game should have
e:im not sure why people are talking about wipeout, who owns the series?

So your saying that it was too good... That you had to prevent it from going to the public for safety reasons

Are they still planning anything for the PS4 down the line?
Yeah you'd think a Playstation platform would be the last thing they'd want to develop on.

Wipeout on PS4 would probably bomb unfortunately.
This will forever appear in "Best Gaming Logos" threads.

They are an independent studio, not own by Sony.
The game could be PC exclusive for all we know. I wouldn't mind that at all. A spiritual successor to Wipeout combined with the PC modding community would be amazing.

This is the only logical explanation.

Eh, work is work, especially when you're trying to rebuild.
But yeah, they shouldn't put much faith in sticking too close (or exclusive) to Sony.
Depending on what capacity these "remnants" are, they could Kickstart a Wipeout-like game as an independent developer for as many platforms as they can sign on for.

What? No way. Some of the best and most unique games of last generation (and prior to that too) came from them.
