I would say they must going both ways.Create new IPs which will become big by the time and offer big old IPS to sell the system.
For future system sellers i easily see a new God of War or Gran Turismo on the Horizon.
Also what is Sony Bend doing right now. maybe working on Uncharted Golden Abyss 2.
Then there will be the Killzone vita game and maybe a new IP from Insomniak games? |
Isn´t Insomniac done with Sony? They are Multiplatform now for what I know.
|
No. They will continue making games for Sony systems. They just won't be exclusive.
|
Thats what I meant, they wont do exclusives for Sony. They will make multiplatform games from now on. There next game will be Overstrike and EA will publish it.
|
I have a niggling feeling we'll be seeing more Ratchet & Clank games from Insomniac. Ted Price made a point of saying that they were "done with Resistance games" but made no mention of R&C, which would have been easy to do at the same point.
EA have the publishing duties for Overstrike, but Insomniac managed to get 2 franchises fully fleshed out during this generation (Resistance & Ratchet) so they have the manpower to run two at once. They seem pretty invested in R&C as well, it's probably their flagship game at this point.
Idk, all speculation on my part, but I can't see them completely ditching Sony (much like Bungie didn't completely ditch Microsoft).
|
But will Sony be willed to publish more R&C games? Because for what I know All 4 one didn´t sell that good and the critics where solid but not great. I think it didnt even reach 1mill yet.

You're right of course, but the sales are probably about average for what type of game it is - it's a multiplayer spin-off rather than a main series title. It's more like 'Ratchet: Deadlocked' than 'Tools of Destruction' and the sales reflect that.
It'll reach a million as well, it's got an online pass which is incentive enough for people to buy the game new if need be.
Anyway, Sony might not want to hang on to the franchise - you could be correct - but I think it will do them some good. I think Sony like their trio of 3D platformers (Ratchet, Sly & Jak) and of them, Ratchet is the biggest franchise.
Also, to the fellow who quoted me - Ratchet & Clank IP is owned by Sony, Insomniac have exclusively developed the main-series titles up until this point though. Sony could just ask them to make a new trilogy for the PS4 and if Insomniac wanted to, they could. They're only tied into the EA publishing deal with Overstrike.
