Zipper Interactive Shut Down

[hippie_hunter]

Sony today confirmed it has closed Seattle-based game studio Zipper Interactive, the creators of the SOCOM series. Responding to rumors last week, Sony representatives sent Game Informer the following statement:

Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm the closure of Zipper Interactive, a Seattle-based internal game development studio that has been part of the global development operation of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS).

The closure is a result of a normal cycle of resource re-alignment within SCE WWS. Zipper has completed all work associated with its most recent project, Unit 13 for PlayStation Vita. Zipper titles MAG, SOCOM 4 and Unit 13 will continue to be supported, including the new Daily Challenges in Unit 13.

Oh well, I never cared for Zipper's games anyways. I'm more of a Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Media Molecule, and Santa Monica fan.

Um, that's not Naughty Dogs game. It's Puppy Games. ND is Uncharted, Jak and Daxter, and Crash Bandicoot.

It sucks about Zipper, but they have been going down hill for a while now.
