Sony swallowed them up after the Saturn iirc and they still worked under 'Psygnosis studios' for a bit before later being rebranded a SEI Europe, Liverpool studios. then I think the link was lost altogether after.

Anyone get the 4 themes that was meant to be included? My steel book was battered when it arrived wedged in with the regular box and sleeve from Grainger games...

game.co.uk also has this listed at £29.99
Not that I'd choose Game over Shopto, but y'know. It's there.

That's what was bothering me, because Psygnosis were formed in 1984, long before all of that.
Battle Arena Toshinden is about where I started, I still have that one the shelf :smiley: Never had a Megadrive, SNES or Amiga. Just got to play friends occasionally. Probably a bit after the fact.
Night Trap has a familiar sort of feel about it, I watched the trailer the other day. But it's not something I remember. Maybe I'll give it a try this time around :smiley:

No. Only from 1995 onwards from what I'm reading as part of Sony Entertainment Interactive. WipEout was released on the Sega Saturn in 1996, so I'd assume (big assumption) that Psygnosis were one of the studios Sony grabbed hold of to build their gaming division.
SEI was actually founded in 1993 and their first game was released (Japan only) in 1994. They then brought releases to Europe and such in 1995. Including (the title I'd nearly forgot about) Battle Arena Toshinden.
Whilst we're discussing games of the Sega nature. I'm not sure if you had/have a Mega CD? Do you remember Night Trap? It's been re-released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this year for a 25th anniversary. I'm kind of excited for nostalgia, but overly nervous, too :smile:

Did Sony have involvement with Amiga games then? My games knowledge doesn't extend that far back :wink:

Now a new Lemmings game I would buy in a heart beat.

I seem to recall they were. Then I forgot what I was on Google for as I remembered they made Lemmings (masterpiece) and some other really great titles:smile:

I'm bit unclear about that. I think they may have been part owned by Sony, then completely bought out by a different division of Sony later on.

Weren't Psygnosis owned by Sony?
MSK.
26 Apr 17#52
Yeah, that was before it happened, when Psygnosis (now defunct) owned the IP.

Just went to place the pre-order, checked my ShopTo orders and realised I had already pre-ordered the steel book edition for £26.86 somehow previously. Just had to cancel it haha!

Oops, sorry I jumped in without reading the comments properly. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, sorry. It was £40 on Shopto moments ago. I was just confirming the price drop there. But I do agree with you. It's definitely worth the extra few quid for the steelbook.

The standard one is £25 from Tesco mate. But I'd say it is defo worth the extra your are paying for that steelbook.
