Let them die and take the talent. That's the sensible approach. 



I agree.

I just watched "Fuse: 18 minutes of gameplay" on youtube and it really felt like a reactionary response to the negative response to Insomniacs direction to this game. More like "No guys this direction we are going is great see this is why"

Well sales say otherwise.  Not a commercial success by any means.  

Resistance was an average series at best that intially sold because there was nothing else on PS3 and it was bundled to high heaven, each iteration did worse and the last was poor in execution and sales. Sales reduced by 50% each time.

Ditto for Ratchet more or less.

Spyro? No game since 2000.  Not a game for the modern era?

 

I don't see any value in that lot. None. Over rated developer.  Let them die and take the talent. That's the sensible approach. 

a shame too cuz I think R3 is one of the best single player campaigns of the gen. :( 

oh and spyro is activision now...it's part of the skylander stuff and they changed the original spyro too much now...I don't want him back lol

Is it the same thing? Only a portion of the article with the link to the same website and him never rejoining the discussion? If so then I feel like the mods need to send him a message about it. Not a warning or a ban just a "Hey, this isn't a website for hits. Post the entire article and be active in the conversation to your threads." and then warn and ban if he continues the same shit



Sony will have more incentive to advertise their games if they're exclusive plus PS is where their fanbase is. Sony just needs to do a better job of pushing their games than they did with R3 which is the best single player FPS this gen for me and deserved a hell of a lot more than Kevin Butler riding a horse and 1 million sales. The weapons, the bosses, the upgrading, and the atmosphere were all on a level we hadn't seen since half-life 2 and yet they choose to have some stupid sharpshooter commercial and show no gameplay and don't mention any of the awesome upgrading weapons. Also if they give me a real Ratchet and Clank like ACiT (favorite game this gen) then they will have me sold on PS4.

I'd say Sony is not interested after Resistance 2 and 3

If Sony is to acquire some developer, it has to be Quantic Dream or Tarsier(LBP Vita)

BTW, Fuse looks so generic.

Keep Ratchet And Clank, drop Insomniac.

Back when they did Spyro and R&C they were just unstoppable. Now they've spread themselves too thin.


Actually, buying Insomniac would be just for the developers. The Resistance and R&C IPs are already owned by Sony (Resistance: Retribution and Burining Skies weren't made by Insomniac). Spyro is an Activision IP.

That would be fantastic.

Why would Sony buy someone only if they fail? By definition you are buying a failure.

If Insomniac fail with Fuse, they will be near bankruptcy and hence very cheap for Sony to buy. Insomniac's IP, brand and remaning talent are still valuable to Sony, and since Kaz is Sony's CEO he has the means to make it happen.

Insomniac games, of any quality, appearing on the competition will be damaging to PS3's exclusive branding.


I dont think insomniac actually owns any of their ips, except maybe this fuse crap...

Yes, it's exactly the same. I've reported all four so far since yesterday and no mod response.



Just curious... Is anyone even slightly interested in Fuse?
