Bungie's and Insomniac's next multiplats should be interesting

I reckon it'll give new insight into what devs are capable of, and seeing as these two previously only developed for Microsoft and Sony, it makes it more interesting. Will Bungie be able figure out how to use the Ps3's cell? Will Insomniac's game turn out better on 360? I understand that Insomniac isn't as quite as prominent dev as Bungie but nonetheless there's a few different scenarios you can imagine happening.

1. Both dev's excel on their respective consoles. Bungie make an excellent game, poor on Ps3. Conversely Insomniac also make an excellent game but isnt up to par on 360

2. History repeats itself. Both games turn out better on the 360. It wouldnt be the first time a former Sony exclusive dev made a better game for their rival. Think of all the exlusives Sony lost early this gen that turned out better on the 360 i.e Assassins Creed, GTA, DMC. Note however, Insomniac has had experience with Ps3 (and still continues to develop exlusively for) so there is a flip side.

3. The Cell is still hard to develop for - Insomniac make a great game, where it is equal to or better than its 360 counterpart. Bungie make a great game, but only on the 360. This will get fanboys roaring. The same arguement, but used in their own way - The cell really is complex to use. Lems will say thats why it sucks. Cows will say thats why its superior.

4. Both Devs excel on both platforms. So what does that mean? Well, for one thing, Bungie lives up to their reputation. For another it raises the bar for other devs who cant seem to figure out the ps3 (ahem, rockstar)

5. Both games suck lulz

As long as they all dev first on PS3, it shouldnt be thet big of a deal.

Activision will market Bungie's game as a 360 title that also has a port on PS3, and EA will let Insomniac make the game they'll make and then probably give something extra to PS3 users.

Both companies will finally be realized for their talent...

...as in, not as much as the fanboys make them out to have.

im pretty sure insomniac was never a first party developer, they just always choose the playstation brand. i may be wrong though

Yup, Halo: CE was great. Too bad the talent didn't improve it much from there.

[QUOTE="BodyElite"] Bungie made a 9.6, 9.4, 9.5, and a small group within Bungie made a 9.0 title within one year. There's your talent buddyBodyElite

Ratchet & Clank: TOD says otherwise. A 7.5 for having too much variety. Yup...real accurate, top notch score right there...

[QUOTE="BodyElite"][QUOTE="juan530"] yah true but exclusives usually get hyped more then multiplats and you probably know that

Fixed. There was nothing nice about it.

Let's not forgt the elephent in the closet that got a certain Gamespot employee fired...

*cough*KANE&LYNCH*cough*

^^Proof right there that even Gamespot can be corrupt with their reviews. I agree with GS for the most part, but we're fooling ourselves if we think they don't fall into the hype/get "influenced" by companies when scoring games.

Fair Enough.

Game Rankings:

• Halo CE: 95.5%
• Halo 2: 94.5%
• Halo 3: 93.5%

Halo ODST was 85%, but was perhaps my favourite campaign wise, as well as adding Firefight. For anyone that didn't have Halo 3 + all the map packs, ODST was worth more than a full retail game, but ultimately the expansion talk brought it down. Yet games like SSF4 scored exactly the same as SF?

I agree with you: ODST was my favorite in the series, and yet got hammered down score-wise (as you stated) because the hype was lowered due to it apparently being " an expansion" to Halo 3 (which is possibly the worst in the series, yet scored .5 better than ODST).

^^This right here is what I'm talking about. Bungie are good developers, but Lemmings hype them up to be gods. Scores don't reflect how good a development team is, because even reviewers get caught in hype. Same can be applied to cows with Insomniac (not to the same degree, though).

its funny because still bungie and insomniac arent really that mulitplatform. bungie is with activision which shows a slight more interest in the 360 while insomniac is with ea which shows a more interest in the ps3 its really rediculous.

im just willing to see how good these devs do with another project. im pretty sure bungie is going to make another fps which wouldnt prove nothing to me and i have no idea what insomniac are going to make since theyre only slightly above average devs anyhow.
