Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Fanboys Won't Support Insomniac Anymore?

pbroy said:
I'm not getting it. They support MS now and are no longer Sony exclusive. Fuck this game! Seriously though, I'm not into this kiddy type of shit games anymore. Fuck Ratchet, Fuck Crash, Fuck Banjo, Fuck donkey Kong, Fuck Viva Pinata, Fuck little big planet, Fuck em all. The only cool animal game mascot created was Sonic. I will still buy Sonics. All the other animal mascots can die.

Woh, that was quite the outbreak, Pbroy.

Just a question, but does Mario count considering he's technically not an animal? (Cross-dressing as one doesn't count.)

It's all a bunch of bull on the internet. They'll buy the game if they're fans of the series. Why would something like making a game on XBOX sway a PS3 fan's like for a developer? It's all talk.



thats just stupid. a list should be made and sterilization should follow.

i cant wait for it, it sucks its on ps3 so late, im ready to jump to next gen, so instead of gta 5 being the next and last looks like this will be last. which is fine, i cant wait to play. just sucks it will need to stay connected by the ps4.



 

Also, aren't YouTube comments the place where the Cheerios ad became a controversy? Nothing to see there.



I wouldn't mind another 4player coop R&C or new Resistance (if they decide to go back to it).

Well I'll be the devils advocate then.

Insomniac pretty much shitted on their fanbase by going for an xbone exclusive, cause they are aware that 100% of the fanbase is on the PS platforms. They could have gone multiplat, noone would complain.
Price said they wanted to get more independent and broaden their horizons when they announced Overstrike/Fuse, now they are again under an exclusive deal for the competition.
No wonder that they're fanbase is upset, cause it seems Price lied, and does not really care about the fanbase, especially when now, they announced a PS3 exclusive. He pretty much asks to buy another console for 500$ to get their games, cause we can assume that they will, still support the PS4 with exclusive content. But maybe they won't, who reallyknows now. Also his message on the Insomniac Games board did not help the fanbase since it was all some PR bullshit.

That said with a 30$ price tag and the game looking good I'll probably get the game day one even though I hold some grudge for Insomniac.

what? why did he lie? if he said they want to get independent and widen their horizon they did exactly that because now they decide from game to game for which platform they want to work for instead of working always only for one platform. they obviously still need money to invest in the development so they search for a new publisher for every new game but they don't have a contract to develop a bunch of games in a row for this publisher. sounds pretty different to what they did before.

and "the insomniac fanbase is on playstation" would maybe count for a ratchet game if it was owned by insomniac. then they would have to release it also on playstation or it would be really bad but not for something like sunset overdrive which is pretty much a game which has to build an own fanbase and can't count on the insomniac fans buying it on playstation systems.

Well we will see, how it will go in the future, Nexus is probably for quite some time in development, as it is a PS3 title, we will see whether they will support the PS4 or stick with MS. 

And widening horizons by making exclusives, dividing and separating the fanbase...yeah right, that's the way to go, lol.  There are numerous interviews with Price, in which he praises going multiplatform, maintaining their own IP, etc. Now he is once again tying himself to a single platform.

I don't know whether you have played any of Insomniac's games, but if you did, you probably found out that they have their specific traits (that they mostly dropped with Fuse) like wacky weapons, humorous characters, boss fights and so on that they include in their games. Sunset Overdrive feels very much Insomniac, a bit what Overstrike was before they changed it to Fuse, less serious, less generic, less military, a bit crazy. Insomniac fanbase on PS would certainly feel familiar towards the game, and it should get good reception. But of course it's better they are crossing the line at the start of the gen, when people can make new choices than a few years down the road.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Hahaha... Sorry, I'm still mad at myself for buying all those stupid games and forcing myself to try to like them.

I'm more upset with them over the last two excuses for R&C games and Fuse than Sunset Overdrive.

But this looks to be a proper Ratchet & Clank game, so I'm provisionally excited.

Fickle?

Yes, because that went SO well last time.

I give up on Insomniac.  Even great developers can fall.

That was before we knew it was a proper R&C. I just assumed it would be another lousy spinoff.

thing is, if they had the idea of sunset overdrive but only microsoft accepted to publish it, then it has to be exclusive. who knows if they also asked activision, ubisoft and so on but they didn't like the risk to invest in such a project? that's how i see it, not how people who seem to hate them now see it. i think they would also release the game for ps4 but that's obviously not possible if only microsoft liked the idea enough to invest in the development and the needed marketing.

what would be the alternative? not working on the title at all and trying to find an idea for a game a multiplatform publisher will release so that everyone is happy? pretty hard to do that...

maybe i'm wrong and the game was microsoft's idea...
