That's focus group oriented game development for you. Insomniac were idiots for partnering up with EA. They should have partnered up with a less controlling 3rd party publisher. Or just stuck with being Sony's bitch and made the Fuse game they actually wanted to make, which Sony would have let them do.

Gods so what have Insomniac and EA got themselves into with another 10 years of horrible games, which Insomniac are going to hate making and EA are going to take a bath on publishing. Maybe there's an out clause if the first game bombs badly and EA will cut them loose. Hopefully the get picked up, otherwise we could see the death of this studio, and it would be sad for them to go out on such a low note.

Insomniac are already free from EA. The EA partners program is over.

They will either find a new publisher now or go back to being Sony exclusive. The rumours say they went to Microsoft.

Seriously? So they give Sony the middle finger to go play and ultimately get buttf&#ked by EA, and now they're going to shit on the memory of the good work they produced with Sony by hitching their wagon to MS? But perhaps it was Sony who said "see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya" to Insomniac

Though why MS would take on this possibly poisoned chalice is a bit of a question. Without R&C or Resistance what do Insomniac have to offer for MS? just bragging rights that they have a Sony defector in their camp? MS and Insomniac could do some good things if MS allows Insomniac to do their thing without focus groups screwing around with their ideas.
