"989 Studios was the action/adventure game division of Sony Computer Entertainment that was founded in August 1995 as "Sony Interactive Studios America", which was formed by the merger of Sony Imagesoft with the development branch of Sony Computer Entertainment. In 1998, it was relaunched as "989 Studios". In 2000, it was merged into Sony Computer Entertainment of America."

Yeah? What happend to 989 Studios? I will always remember their logo because Syphon Filter was so awesome. They should do remakes for all the games for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC

[PsychoMantistle]

@playerstill123 989 Studios is owned by Sony. Theyre still around as 989 Sports making sports games for ps3 and psp

[KyubiStewie]

[frenchpet]

They fucking ruined Twisted Metal, Cool Boards, released that shit awful siphon filter game, think they ruined some sports games I liked OR made their own awful one ....

When I think of bad game companies that I totally didn't like, 989 was way up on the list. Not to nerd rage in your comment section or anything bro lol.

[carlosfcomen]

@14yearoldxboxfan r.i.p?

[MDamped925]

@14yearoldxboxfan bankrupt T_T



[DCeric]

@MDamped925 Not bankrupt 989 Studios started developing sports games from 2000 to 2005 and at that time there was many companies developing sports games which it looks like 989 Studios games werent well liked and Sony eventually cut the cord on 989 altogether
