Insomniac talking multiplatform

Insomniac CEO Ted Price enjoys his close relationship with Sony quite a bit, but also sees the benefits of allowing titles to go multiplatform. In an interview with Gamasutra, Price admitted that he could "see the other side" of exclusivity and the profits that big games make by being playable on other platforms.

But, then again, we see the other side too. We see games that are multiplatform succeeding wildly, and doing great, and that too is a fantastic place to be.

hmm a money thing eh? don't they get enough from Sony??;) jk

Who wouldn't want to see a "Resistance, R&C quality" game go multiplat? could be interesting

They aren't second party anyways, right? They just choose to make games for Sony's console only... so in theory anything can come almost, right? doubt Ratchet and Resistance games out now would... but future ones could...yoshi_64

No they are not owned by Sony...They are kinda like Bungie is now.

Some games are simply not meat to go multiplat and By that I mean First and second party games, do you want the Ps3 to die? If it loses even Resistance and Ratchet then all is lost for real

I'm talking about Insomniac being quality devs. I'm talking new IP's

Sony and the PS3 are not going to die.

Insomniac does much better when I buy their games religiously, as I do.

I own R1, R2, and Ratchet and I'll buy their next game too if they keep it up.

People who don't like sub-par software homogenized to reach an appropriately broad audience. I expect the quality to suffer the instant they decide to develop games multiplatform. And they can expect my loyalty to dwindle significantly.

I doubt we'll see them go multiplat any time soon. They seem to like their relationship with Sony. What other publisher with financial resources of Sony's caliber would give Insomniac so much autonomy? Besides all their PS3 games have sold at least 1 million copies.espoac

I think it is more of a question of how many more copies would their games have sold if they were on two systems and not just one. Look at GofW that sold 2.1 million systems. Would RFofM hit that if on the 360 and PS3?

If they were to ever announce that they were going multi-platform, this place would go nuts.  Actually, that would be sweet.

Yes it would....I can't wait for the first day a Bungie game goes to the PS3 also

it's gonna be a sad sad day in SW lol

Hmm this is a sad thing that Insomniac games dont sell well enough on the PS3. If it is best for the company then they should do it. Insomniac doesnt get the credit they deserve at the moment, Resistance 2 competetive online is fantastic and deserves a lot more recognition. Great company they are a credit to games industry.

They should totally do that, PS3 owners dont appreciate em enough.Solid_Tango

You should say most or in general. Im sure a lot do. But yeh not enough.

I think if one of their games were to go multiplat, it would be a new IP, not Resistance or R&C. But then, I thought FFXIII would never go to the 360 so what do I know? :lol:Lionheart08

Well hopefully they think it through because if they leave Sony and go multiplat with new IP's (which they have to do) and fail, I doubt Sony would just allow them to come back like nothing ever happened but who knows. From what I hear Sony treats their developers well also even though going multiplat could pay off.FlamesOfGrey
