LO 1: Analysis a games studio


Sucker Punch Studios is a Limited Liability Company (This means that everyone is liable in the company if they go bust and owe money) and relatively old studio now as it was founded in 1997. They are a very successful games developer as they have only made seven games and are working on their eighth one. But all have been very well reserved and got very high ratings. They have two franchises under their belt Infamous and Sly Cooper. Both franchise have had a massive fan following and sold millions of units. The studio is confided one of Sony crown jewels along with Naughty Dog. The group started off at Microsoft but leafed to make their own games in 1997. They are now based in downtown Bellevue, Washington USA. They currently take up an entire floor of a skyscraper. It started when the founding group split from Microsoft and became Suckerpunch.   



It was rather hard to find out about the structure as there was not a lot of information on the web and even on their website and there team that did find all had wired titles for their place in the company.





Games that they have made

They make action adventure games. Infamous is 3rd person, open world hero/villain game. Sly
Cooper is also 3rd person but has a different game play focus. It is aimed at linear, stealth, platform.
They went in to a horror style DLC in infamous 2 called festival of blood. Where the main character gets turned into a vampire and has to cure himself.

Games on multiplier

Sucker Punch only made one game that was not on the PlayStation it was made in 1991 called Rocket: robot on wheels for the Nintendo 64. All of their other games where made for the PlayStation. They started off with the sly cooper franchise in 2002 for the PlayStation 2.  Even though it was Microsoft that they leafed they went on to sign a contract with Sony so that their games can only be on PlayStation and no other devise that are not owned by Sony. Sucker Punch is now owned by Sony so they are their subsidiary.


Platform Tech

There is just one input for their games and that is a controller because there is just one console it is on they do not have to code for different consoles. The games they make would not really work in any other input mode.
