Is insomniac the most overrated game developer?

First of all, their games sucks. They make annual games that are not on par with other triple A games. They arederivative formulaic games that have no personality whatsoever. Their games have this pseudo obsession with guns with poor puzzle/platforming/level design mechanics. Their games are flawed and they never fix them. So, I wonder why are they considered a top-tier developer if they can't get fundamentals like gameplay correct? Am I missing something about their games that is causing me to stop playing them?

Overrated yes but most no

I didnt like any of Insomniac games since Spyro.

They're not even close to the most overrated dev this gen. Ratchet & Clank and Resistance are 2 solid franchises.

You do realize your opinion is not fact, just saying

No..

I still remember seeing Ratchet: Tools of Destruction for the first time. Blew my mind. Felt like a pixar movie.

A Crack in Time is even better. Great storytelling and visual design in that one.

Resistance is awesome as well. Bullseye gun?! so awesome. Auger? Aliens and WW2? cmon, how can you not like it.

Hellz no.

Eh....depends how how people rate them tbh.

Some people think they are the best going around....in that respect yes they are. However they are solid developer with a good track record.

No, they're great developers.

A Crack in Time was a fantastic game with awesome storytelling and charming characters. And the puzzles in the game were the best thing since Portal.

Bethesda they are good but some folks talk like they are god teir.

Nothing you say is factual its just opinoin and thats why you dont like them.

Maybe Resistance. Ratchet and Clank are great though ...

I thought they were one of the most underrated.Bazooka_4ME

I agree, for this gen this seems true.

Can't wait for their next game, looks awesome:D

It's the opposite really

If they are overrated it's only because they are a PS3 exclusive developer. (Although they have gone multiplat now.) I personally think they are a very solid dev. I enjoy the Ratchet and Clank series. Resistance is o.k., I've played much worse.

Are you serious TC? I always complained that they were the most underrated developer. Resistance is OK, but Ratchet and Clank is awesome. How could you say R&C has no personality? They are not overrated at all. Their game get barley any hype compared to most other games

They make good games, and their Spyro games certainly don't suck.

I've never been a fan of the R&C or Spyro games but I did really like Resistance 1 and 2. They really f***ed up Resistance 3 though and that will be the last Resistance game that I buy.

Overstrike doesn't look very good either. Insomniac is now an irrelevant developer to me

Wut? Insomniac can't be overrated because it was never rated that highly by people in the first place.

Resistance is one of the best series of games i've played, sure they aint perfect and do have flaws but i love the games, the guns and story behind it. Never bothered much for Ratchet games they just don't interest me and Spyro was fun when i was younger so basically no they aren't overrated they just make good games not "The best omg they rule" games.

Say what, I am not a huge fan of R&C series but Resistance was pretty solid. The work they did last gen was amazing as well. I can easily think of developers who (at the moment) are far more overrated. I mean Rare? Lionhead? Sonic Team? I can go on and on.

They're rarely talked of, so no.

They're not great: Resistance is awful and Ratchet and Clank feels 10 years old.

Naughty Dog are THE most overrated ever. This isnt even up for discussion.

Not even close..

Disruptor on PS1 wasnt bad..

Ratchet & Clank series is great..

Spyro games were good..

Resistance series while not the best shooter around is pretty solid too..

No. They made the games that marked my childhood (the first Spyro trilogy). And they have pretty good franchises at moment, which are Resistance and Ratchet & Clank.

They make good quality games... just wish they would make more relevant games. Weird furry cat thing in space and depressing 1950's alternate time-line shooter are just not doing anything for me. Would prefer they work on a game like Mass effect ( Epic Sci-Fi ) or Skyrim ( Epic Fantasy ).

How are they overrated if they barely get any praise.

Naughty Dog would be a much better example of an overrated developer.

To be overrated, that requires people to put them on an insanely high pedestal. To my knowledge, insomniac has never been treated as anything more than a good developer, which they are since they're able to churn solid games at a fast rate.

The only Sony Developer who I believe gets the "Pedestal Treatment" is Naughty Dog.

they gave the ps1 a desperately needed platformer to go head to head against mario with crash bandicoot produced jak and daxter for the ps2 and then delivered the ps3's signature series in uncharted.

that's 3 gens of delivering the goods.
