Sony Bend (a.k.a. SCE Bend Studio; formerly known as Eidetic) is a subsidiary of
Sony Computer Entertainment based in Bend, Oregon, USA.
Originally an independent developer during the studio's formation in 1994, they were responsible for
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
Super Mario 64). Since their purchase by Sony, most of the studio's games have been received positively, with
Syphon Filter being the company's road to redemption.
