"The next big gaming franchise from the creators of a decade and a half's worth of some of the Playstation's most beloved titles is coming to the Xbox 360."

Note: The partnership is with EA

Well that sucks, but as long as we still get to play the game I see no big problem.

They are owned by Sony so they're staying put on the Playstation.

if you read the page it says they will still work on ps3 excluses, so im assuming those games will stay excluse and they will also work on a 360/PS3 mutiplat.

Companies gotta make money. Staying loyal to one console is just gonna hurt them in the end. Glad to see them branching out.

Yes I did read the article. I know my questions makes it look like I didn't. Lol. What I meant to say was that now that they are going multiplatform... in the long run, how will it affect their involvement in those two franchises. I know Ted Price said they will make more games out of those franchises but how long will it be before development of Ratchet & Clank and/or Resistance shifts developers. For example a Resistance game made by Naughty Dog or a Ratchet & Clank game made by Sony Santa Monica. Get me?

As long as they make Sony's exclusives (Ratchet, Resistance) it's cool. Sort like what Bungie did with activision.

Not really bothered just gives 360 fanboys to brag about after there Bungie lost. But in real terms for many its just spreading the love and money. Its all first party companies now anyway.

Its really not a big deal. Sony is still getting R&C and Resistance exclusively.They just want to expand and work on new IPs. Insomniac's main franchises are still exclusive to Sony, since Sony owns them.

This only concerns one new IP from Insomniac.

R&C will still be exclusive, as will all the other playstation games.

Acording to the press release Insomniac will continue to make exclusive games with sony.

I'm really excited for this. Multiplat means a new IP, and I can't wait to see what Insomniac is going to cook up.

Don;t really care, to be honest. The R&C's were good games, but other than that I can't really get excited about Insomniac.

I'm glad to hear news of a new IP, kinda indifferent to the multiplat news. It's been speculated for years. Just to clarify, Ratchet/Resistance will not go to non-Sony platforms. Those 2 out of Insomniac's 3 teams are staying exclusive, this multiplat team is the one they formed a year or 2 back.

True, Sony must own all IPs for them to publish a game. I think they learned from the spyro and crash thing,

Doubt it, they already have a ps3 engine. And if you can make an engine for the ps3 you can make one for 360.

Great... Now the exclusive list is getting smaller and smaller for the PS3. I rather would have Insomniac give up exclusivity for Resistance than us keeping it because Resistance 2 was just plain out horrible.

I think it's fine, considering Insomniac was never owned by Sony to begin with, they can do whatever they want.

Also, LOL at people not reading about it and automatically assuming PS3 lost exclusivity deals with Ratchet & Clank and Resistance. If they read it they would have seen that they are partnering with EA to make an ORIGINAL game.

Well this is a test for Insomniac if it works then I am sure they would go multiplat. But they are still an exclusive dev at this time, they are just working like Bungie now.

Not that serious, as long as they dont touch Ratchet and Clank.

More money for them and more dev power.

I don't really care. I'm disliking my ps3 more and more each day, the console is too **** limited in what can be done with it. Sure, you can watch videos and play games, but that's it.. So glad I have both.

It's not a big deal to me. I'm not one who cares what platform such and such game is released on as long as I'm able to play it. I hope the games don't eventually suffer from having to accommodate DVDs.

Going Multiplat = More money... after all, it's a business in the first place... isn't it? it sucks... but it's better than crossing the other side and go exclusive overthere...

They were never first party though. Always third. They just had sony publish all of their games. They have a really tight relationship with sony, that's why you haven't seen their games on other systems.
