The game isn't out yet.

RIP any devs working on any games for Sony Platform.
It's done though. They've said in interviews that it was held back by Sony, though it was ready to launch this year.
Sad to see this, regardless.
if you have a ps3 too you can get that version since it's cross buyMight have to get this for the Vita now. Some recession, huh?
Guys ? This is far from even confirmed
I wonder if we'll hear about layoffs at SuperBot too.
Sony has ended all there 2nd party deals this year. Normally they do it after the game is out though.
Isn't it normal for devs to start letting people go once a big project is completed?

This happens as almost every Sony owned (or contracted) studio (except the huge ones) winds down on development. They basically hire temp help to get the game through crunch time and then as the game winds up their contract is up and they aren't retained. It's shitty for them but they know this going in.
I don't have any first hand info on this but im guessing sanzaru needed some extra heads to accomplish some things with the game that they didn't already have on their staff and now they are letting them go.
Or it's nothing at all. I would be shocked if Sanzaru is firing core members of their team before their biggest game ever even launches.
Oh? I didn't know it was finished.
wut?
This is surprising. The game was looking pretty cool.
If only game layoffs could be prevented because a game is "looking pretty cool."
Sony seems to have the merdas touch*.
Portuguese pun on midas.

They're making a PS4 title.Sorry for the bump (I can't post new threads)...
Is Sanzaru still around? I really enjoyed the Sly Collection, and just got a Vita to play Sly 4 with. Their website is completely out of date, and I can't really find any info on them except this page on NeoGAF.

I mean, as far as we know it is. Haven't heard anything otherwise. Sly did surprisingly well.
