10 Great Video Game Developers Who Haven't Made Anything Good For Years

8. Supermassive Games

As with many of these, it's not a case of ragging on the studio for trying to get things out the door. Instead, more that these names used to mean so much, and used to be so renowned for notable hot streaks, filled with games worth checking out no matter your tastes.

In Supermassive's case, after the thoroughly ace Little Big Planet on Vita, they fired into new realms of appreciation with Until Dawn - a unique dialogue-driven slasher centred on a number of teens trying to survive what goes bump in the night.

Needless to say this is one of the best PS4 exclusives of them all; a perfectly paced story with myriad twists and turns, and one that's an awesome ride whether you're playing solo or as a group.

Since that though... Supermassive turned their heads towards VR, and attempted to make very low-brow fare that would assumedly bring in a wider audience.

Until Dawn itself was turned into a shooting gallery to mixed results, but Hidden Agenda and The Inpatient both fell flat narratively and through base animation. Bravo Team was a rote shooter in the vein of the much better Firewall Zero Hour, and suffered immensely at retail because of it.

2019 sees the team return to more Until Dawn-like fare with The Dark Pictures series, so here's hoping it provides relief for a studio it's simply painful to watch not succeed.
