Insomniac Games is excited to announce that we are working on a new IP, that will be published by EA Partners on Xbox 360 and PS3. #fb



Shame their games aren't too great.

Good news, now their games can be pirated :P J/K. I just hope they don't go full on FPS development now that they will be making games multi. I much prefer to have their platformers, not too many left being made anymore.

I guess you didn't read this: "Our relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment is still very strong, and continues as we develop additional projects exclusively for PlayStation 3 - projects that will take full advantage of our additional development time."

"additional development time" Sure, because we all know that excess time is a norm in game development.

Resistance was garbage IMO, but R&C is alright. Hopefully they make something good.

Meh. I think Ratchet is good but sequelled to death, and I think Resistance is pretty average. I hope their new IP is something completely different.

It seems this is something they have specifically are doing for all their titles now: "One thing that has become apparent to us though is that in order to live up to our own high standards of quality, we want to give ourselves more development time to iterate and polish our games. All future Insomniac titles will benefit from longer development cycles, which will directly benefit you, our fans"

For new games. My guess is Sony owns some of the IP's they work on so that is why they did this deal so they can own the IP's and make them multiplatform. But as they said that doesn't mean they are all multiplatform. I'd be surprised if say R&C was mutliplatform but I guess we'll see. Their statement basically says a new game is going to be multiplatform........that doesn't mean everything.

And now Lems do? How many times did Lems make fun of Resistance or R&C? It works both ways. Now you are going to have Lems suddenly care about their games and Cows will say it isn't a big deal because the games sucked.

Ah yeah, I wouldn't expect any of the old franchises to go multi, but a new title would be good.

Yeah, because that's what the 360 is known for this gen, its original games...

Excited about any new IP fom Insomniac though, because contrary to most here, apparently, I like their games.

From a business perspective it's a very sensible move I'd say. If I'd be responsible for any dev's business decisions I'd be going for multiplats by definition. There are hardly any commercially sound reasons I can think of not to.

Sony owns Resistance and Ratchet. These games will remain exclusive. Apparently Insomniac has even more people working for them than we thought.

I enjoyed both the Resistance and Rachet series so I hope these games continue to get pumped out by Insomniac as I have really enjoyed them.

Actually, I was just trying to make a little jab at Insomniac. They've been making rehashes for years and I'm hoping this will change that; it's doubtful.

Haters. I loved both Resistance's and pretty much every R&C made, and I hate how they get downplayed on here so much. They are extremely talented devs, especially when you consider what a tight timeline they have been working with. They have released 4 full AAA games (I'm talking industry AAA as in big budget, not Gamespot AAA like 9.0+) since the start of the gen. No small feat for anyone. Even their "weak" efforts like Resistance 2 have some redeeming qualities, like the co-op, which was freaking fantastic and addictive. Love Insomniac, I hope their multiplat game is even better than their exclusives. They have no excuses about working with the PS3's architecture too, there shouldn't be any of this "inferior port" nonsense.

I really doubt anybody is really getting excited about Insomniac's middle of the road games. Lems are getting excited at the opportunity to try and manufacture some artificial ownage.

Sony still has a pretty robust set of 1st Party development studios which which will continue to create quality exclusives as they have done all this gen.

But as far as 3rd party exclusivity goes,yeah you're right, they're almost extinct on the HD consoles.

1.Cows have touted ratchet and clank often as the awesome, the same for resistance. 2.Resistance 2 was awesome. so please don't claim that cows never liked resistance or ratchet and clank and thought the games were mediocre or bad...and that now that lemmings like the fact games by the developer will come to 360 as some sort of ownage.

Meh,pity it wasn't ND instead of Insomniac.

I don't much care for Insomniac's antiquated and uninspired offerings this gen.

Still another one bites the dust. :)

I didn't claim anything like that. If you don't understand the statement, ask. Re-read my post. It says In before Lems pretend they like Insomniac games. I have always liked Insomniac. You're preaching to the choir.

Yeah their "middle of the road" games with ~90 Metacritic averages. Get real.

I don't really care about MC averages. I will admit that the middle of the road part was merely my opinion (though I'm certainly not alone in thinking this). My real point was that nobody is super excited as you would like to think as Insomniac's games are hardly coveted on SW. It's more about the ownage.

Surprised to see ppl talkin smack about Resistance. It's a good series although I preferred the weapon wheel in the first and I miss the life bar.
