So who creates the games at Sony?

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: Which internal dev-teams do they have? Worldwide for that matter although I'm primarily interested in the Japanese teams. So far the only thing I can come up with is ICO Team (not even sure if that's their official name) and Sugar & Rockets.

I wonder, because Flipnic bears some similarity towards Fantavision while both come from SCEI, which can mean anything really...

----

So far so good;

SCE Europe

- London Studios (EyeToy)

- SCEE Cambridge (Primal)

- Team Soho (The Getaway)

SCE Japan

- ARC Entertainment (Arc the Lad)

- DeepSpace (Extermination)

- ICO Team (real name?, ICO)

- Nana-On Sha (2nd party?, Parappa the Rapper)

- Polyphony Digital (2nd party?, Gran Turismo)

- Sugar & Rockets (Kurushi/Intelligent Qube)

SCE America

- 989 Studios (still existing?, Syphon Filter)

- Foster City Studios (Rise to Honor)

- Ingoc, Inc. (Twisted Metal)

- Zipper Interactive (2nd party?, SOCOM)

Feel free to give additions or point out errors.

So who creates the games at Sony?

Evil......evil people.

The eyetoy was devised in London

[Judas]

I cant see why some people actually wanna pay for eye -toy

Does he look retarded or what?

[Jack]

Is that Ricky Gervais?

What happened to:

Sony Liverpool (aka Psygnosis)

Sony Cambridge (Medievil, C-12 iirc)

Sony London (Sony Soho?)

Polyphony are as good as "in-house"

[bucket]

Didn't Sony Liverpool lose a team recently when an 'original fps game' for the PS2 was canned?

[Guest Penguin_Lad]

Sony London (Sony Soho?)

See, Eyetoy

[Ed-E]

See, Eyetoy

Yup. The bastard twatting lots.

Still, at least they prototyped my game.

[SeanR]

that's it!

The first adult Eyetoy game

Play: SUYA

[nick_f2]

Sony Cambridge: Medievil series, Primal, Ghosthunter

Sony London: Eyetoy, Getaway, This Is Football, Hardware, etc

Sony US: Syphon Filter, Mark of Kri, NFL Gameday

Sony Japan: Ico, Ape Escape

And lots more I'm sure. Those are off the top of my head...

[Beertiger]

so the only thing that the english dev teams have done of any worth is eyetoy and that's a one trick pony (at the moment)

I could swear Level-5 was in-house (now I can not swear any more because Level-5 is doing Xbox games).

Let's not forget DeepSpace, the Extermination team.

[The Running Men]

Sony Liverpool are working on a new Formula 1 game.

[Juria]

Sonly Liverpool did Wip3out, I love that game! When I realised that Designers Republic were involved in some game artwork I found it and played it to see what they'd done and it was actually a really cool game

So thats what happened to Psygnosis. Psygnosis had the best logo. Ever.

I heard EyeToy was a flop in Japan. That's a shame because the Japanese developers might have made some interesting adult software for it.

[Judas]

Thats funny cause its true.

.::: I though the same thing. Just like Media.Vision (Wild ARMs and Contrail (Alundra). But they've been generating content for other platforms as well...

And myabe DeepSpace did Ape Escape?

Why can't every company have a Sega-like structure?

[Popo]

I bet they were just jealous they didn't think of it first.

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: Hmm it seem Sugar & Rockets also did Jumping Flash!. So I guess they might be involved with Ape Escape as well.

The American teams are almost unfindable... Was Idol Minds one of them?
