'''[[Creator/SonyComputerEntertainment SCE]] Studio Liverpool''' is a British developer founded in 1984 as '''Psygnosis''', born from the ashes of the short-lived Imagine Software. They cut their teeth on the Home computer scene, particularly on the {{Amiga}}, and distinguished themselves with their [[TechDemoGame technical proficiency]], [[{{Feelies}} generous extras]] and distinctive cover artwork by Roger Dean (who also provided the company's logo).

They were acquired by [[Creator/SonyComputerEntertainment Sony]] in 1993 to ensure a good software lineup for the PlayStation. The studio still retained a degree of independance from Sony, resulting in several ports for the SegaSaturn and one edition of [[VideoGame/{{Wipeout}} the anti-gravity racing league]] to the {{Nintendo 64}}.

While critical acclaim remained high, several of their later productions were financial disappointment, leading to a full takeover by Sony in 2000. The "Psygnosis" label was phased out and the studio was restructured as "SCE Studio Liverpool" and focused almost entirely on the ''Wipeout'' and ''Formula One'' series.

On August 22, 2012, Sony, announced that Studio Liverpool would be closing its doors forever.
