no but making crappy family/move based and tower defense games of your most popular franchise will kill it. Honestly it infuriates me anytime Insomniac is in the news because everything they do betrays one of their most loyal customers. I bought every Insomniac game new from Spyro 1-3 to Ratchet 2-ACiT to R2 and 3 (didn't have PS3 until 2 came out and borrowed Ratchet 1) including Quest for Booty and loved them (even R2 if only for the co-op), but everything they've done after ACiT has been a slap in the face. From raping the Ratchet franchise 2 years in a row when they could've been working on a PS4 launch title to close out the story to going multiplat and making generic looking 3rd person shooters I'm just about ready to stop calling them my favorite dev of all time and move to the ND camp.

give them time. going multiplatform isn't a bad thing. and considering Sony's markeing these days, i'd go mutiplatform to. and it prevents them from closing their doorslaying people off, like so many others

i'm ok with Fuse, but their next game is what i'm looking forward to. i can't remember the name, but i'm interested in knowing more about it.

I hate what they've done to Ratchet more than anything.  It's by far my favorite franchise of all time, UYA is my favorite game ever, ACiT is my favorite game this gen.  The last 2 have had horrendous sales because many series faithful like myself just didn't take any interest in them so hopefully they don't take that as "the franchise is going downhill let's abandon it" and instead say "let's get back to what fans love and improve on minigames, upgrading, ship combat, etc. to get our innovation.  I mean ACiT had the best story and puzzles in the series and the ending left it open for 1 more installment.  I know the last 2 weren't made by the main team so I can only hope they're gearing up for a big PS4 Ratchet more in line with ACiT to win me back because right now I'm just frustrated with their direction.
