** A sequel to ''VideoGame/DaysGone'' was pitched to Sony, but it was rejected due to the game's mixed-to-average reviews, in spite of being a SleeperHit.

SIE Bend Studio (formerly SCE Bend Studio, founded as as Eidetic) is a subsidiary of Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment based in Bend, Oregon, USA.

Originally an independent developer during the studio's formation in 1994, they were responsible for ''VideoGame/{{Bubsy}} 3D'', regarded as one of the worst games ever made (Eidetic blamed its publisher Accolade for making them release their alpha build to market against the soon-to-be-classic ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''). Since their purchase by Sony, most of the studio's games have been received positively, with ''VideoGame/SyphonFilter'' being the company's road to redemption.

!!Tropes that apply to Sony Santa Monica and its games:
* BreakthroughHit: ''Syphon Filter'' was this to them during the [=PS1=] days, and a reason to them becoming one of the Sony's development studios. They fell to obscurity for much of the 2000s afterwards until the announcement of ''Days Gone'' in 2016; ''VideoGame/DaysGone'' itself is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example. While it wasn't nearly as critically beloved as their previous franchise, it was a SleeperHit that was ''very'' commercially successful (becoming the sixth best-selling [=PS4=] exclusive in less than a year of its release - beating the more critically beloved and longer-on-the-market ''VideoGame/InfamousSecondSon'') and gaining a strong fanbase to support it.
* BTeamSequel: Reduced to this between the release of their last ''Syphon Filter'' game and ''Days Gone''. Between 2008 and 2011, Bend Studio primarily worked on portable spin-offs for some of Sony's bigger [=PS3=] titles, namely ''Resistance: Retribution'' for the [=PSP=] and ''VideoGame/UnchartedGoldenAbyss'' for the [=PS Vita=]; unlike many other examples, though, both titles were critical successes and considered some of their consoles' best games.
* GovernmentConspiracy: Seems to be a staple of their primary IP titles.
* OldShame: ''Bubsy 3D'' is this to many of the studio's developers, both present and past.
* SharedUniverse: Documents in ''Days Gone'' imply that [[spoiler: the game's events take place some time after the events of the ''Syphon Filter'' saga]].
