Granted Wikipedia isn't normally a source I'd go to but I'm too lazy to bother wasting any extra time on an erratic person trying to rejustify themselves despite being wrong. "In the video game industry, a first-party developer is a developer that is part of a company that actually manufactures a video game console. First-party developers may either use the name of the company itself, like Nintendo; have a specific division name like Sony's Polyphony Digital; or have formerly been an independent studio before being acquired by the console manufacturer, such as Rare or Naughty Dog." Hmm....That's weird. The console manufacturer have to have them acquired? Awkward. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-party_developer It's got Insomniac listed there....under "Independant developers" along with the likes of Valve and Id Software. So why don't you just admit you were wrong and I can go and criticize you in another thread? mmkay? thanks much. |
LOL Wikipedia, what a reliable source... Is it you who wrote this article?
BTW here is what they have to say about Insomniac that you didnt post here :
A third-party developer is a developer not directly tied to the primary product that a consumer is using, although some, such as Insomniac Games, may have exclusive publishing agreements or other business relationships with a particular manufacturer while maintaining independence. The primary product may be hardware or software.
Hmmmm interesting...so this exclusive publishing agreement forbid them to release LBP on a rival console....sounds more like a second party publisher to me which also proves my point that this is not a third party developer. Oh and yes they didnt list Insomniac under Third party developer....
Whatever, if you think LBP or Resistance 2 are not first (or second, which of course don't change anything to my point) party titles...well you're the only one on this site to believe this. Also you're welcome to criticize me in other threads if you are able to prove me wrong.
p.s you didnt say anything about Yakuza 2 and Warriors Orochi sales in the West...
