Killzone: Mercenary Developer Guerrilla Cambridge to Close

Oh look MS have closed down yet another studio and cancelled another project....wait they don't own Guerrilla studios. My mistake its Sony that did this. But I thought Sony never does this. They are for 4 the gamers and all that jazz.

Better wait for the ever faithful sony drony contingent. I guess they'll be coming out of from under their rocks soon........

B-B-B-B-B-B-But Sony aren't evil like M$. They don't cancel and close studios. M$ are evil and are cancerous to gaming. Sony keep developers on. Because they know what's best for gamers.

-- the ever faithful Sony contingent

Pinocchio' nose could be 20,000x long but Shuhei "for the gamers" Yoshida still out does it.

That's too bad. I'm really enjoying Rigs: Mechanized Combat League.

R.I.P. Cambridge Studio -

So many awesome games...Killzone: Mercenary, MediEvil 1 & 2, Primal, GhostHunter, 24 (PS2), C-12 Final Resistance (PS1).

It's a shame Sony didn't give smaller budgets and let them cut loose on whatever they wanted as long as the projects broke even. They were one of the few UK studios Sony had (along with Studio Liverpool aka Psygnosis who made Wipeout) that did some awesome games in the PS1 and PS2 era. Innovative, high quality titles sadly overshadowed because they didn't sell multi-millions of copies.

It's a bigger shame that not only Sony, but MS, and Nintendo don't give their 2nd party studios more latitude to do what they need to do. I won't be surprised if i hear Media Molecule is being shuttered in the next few years.

Anyway, their legacy lives on through their games.

We are going to miss that exciting new gaming concept that they had in development...

Shame, I loved this studio. Thought Killzone Mercenary was pretty darn good as well as LittleBigPlanet Vita (best in series imo). RIGS wasn't for me but most multiplayer games aren't. I'd wish they were given another chance to do something cool, they did great work!

Damn what a way to start off the year. I hope these guys don't have trouble finding jobs.

If this was about MS,we would see here at least 300 comments.

Playstation VR is pretty much dead. Sony just said F U to those who bought it.

hahahahahahhahaha. But bu bu Sony understand developers. lol. Sony has closed more studios than MS and Nintendo combined.

that sucks. Mercenary was awesome and better than sf

Freeing up assets to purchase Platinum Games?

Happy new year!

Yet they still have guerrilla why not go there? Not that simple I guess

I'd long ago given up hope of the further adventures of Sir Daniel Fortesque, but this pretty much puts a nail in his coffin (which oddly enough wouldn't have stopped him in his actual games).

Huh, I thought they were gonna do a Killzone for PS4 :(

Good luck to those affected.

I loved Killzone Mercenary on Vita

Seriously Sony, you've closed like 7 studios in the last generation, what gives? I swear if sony closes Media Molecule i will lose a great deal of interest in their Titles. Apart from Japan Studios and ND, Media Molecule are the only titles I like from them. There is insomniac too, but those are third party.

Dont even think about it Sony, dont turn into MS, dont dare Sony

Better killzone than shadow falls now THATS a remaster id buy

Are you sure this story isnt about MS closing another studio?

According to many posters here on GS,Sony never does that and also never cancells games.

I am confused

Ouch... all employees. Damn.

Guess business is business.

-SHUTTING DOWN NINJA APPROVED-

Smart move doing this on the tale end of the Scalebound news. Sad news though Killzone Mercenary was my favorite Vita game and the first to actually get me into multi player on it.
