ThermoNukePanda Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It recently came to my attention that Sony recently shut down Psygnosis studios (which was currently known as Sony Liverpool). This REALLY gives me a huge case of teh sads. So many games from my past (many of which a bunch of you young-ins have probably never even heard of) came out of this place. They had been making games for almost thirty years now. They were also responsible for creating one of the HARDEST games I've ever played.Shadow of the Beast. More specifically the NA Genesis version. (due to some sort of issues with the normal refresh rates of televisions between Europe and NA, the NA version ran almost 17% FASTER than normal. Combine that with NO continues and a hard difficulty to begin with makes it recognizably one of the hardest Genesis games).Other games I have fond memories of that they created....BarbarianLemmingsColony WarsDestruction Derby 1 & 2DrakanThe whole Wipeout seriesSad times indeed. *sighs* Good memories though.

ThermoNukePanda Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Also, they had some of the most badass boxart ever. Check out this gallery from Craptaco.http://kotaku.com/5603933/the-most-awesome-box-art-in-the-world/gallery/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Their box art was great, and they made some good games in there time. I have played a few of them too. Always sad to hear. Hopefully the talent will move on to other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
