You mean those Resistance games that are still considered some of the best in the genre and performed decently in a crowded market? You could've used Fuse and had a completely irrefutable point!

 

This is the same Insomniac that is the undisputed king of independent development. I'll trust their effort here considering Spiderman has the largest team size they've ever had. Looking at how gorgeous and entertaining Ratchet PS4 was on almost no budget with a skeleton crew, I see no reason to worry yet. You've gotta keep in mind, Insomniac doesn't have a turnaround rate: Their employees stay a long time, so there are people working there from their Spyro days still. It's not like they're a one trick pony. 

 

OT: it's not surprising that after Spiderman was announced we got a confirmation of no SSO2 yet. Insomniac has finished or is working on over half a dozen games in 2016 (Ratchet, Song of the Deep, the three VR games, Spiderman, and a bunch of mobile games), so they really wouldn't have much more room to squeeze in another game. 

I think you're overating Resistance a little. They are good games but not great game. This is the point I'm trying to make. They shine brightest when they play to their strengths and make outstanding games. But they always do put out good games.

Resistance 3 has been consistently placed near the top of many best of lists for shooters. Fan demand for a Resistance 4 is still significant. Despite coming out without advertising next to Killzone, CoD, Battlefield, and other shooters, Resistance performed decently. The only thing underwhelming about Resistance was its sales curve, because Sony never tried to capitalize with R2/3 on the large launch audience that R1 had. If I gave a damn about shooters anymore and had played them in any significant manner, sure, perhaps you could argue I'm overrating the games. But this is literally just what MANY people have continually said - and from the small levels/multi-player matches I played of each, they're spot on. It's revisionist history to assume that because the franchise is no more that it was just another franchise.
