| DMeisterJ said: Insomniac is like second and a half party. Sony doesn't own them, and Insomniac doesn't want to be owned by them, but they make PS3 games exclusive, so it's really hard to figure things out. They're like Ready at Dawn (Daxter, GoW: CoO), they also made Okami Wii. Kinda second party, kinda not. Show sony tons of support, but don't really have to. |
That implies that Insomniac has games for a company other than Sony. Every game they've made has been published by Sony since the PS1 days, and both their Ratchet and Resistance IPs are owned by Sony. That's a bit different than Ready at Dawn.
Or did you mean first and a half party? 2nd party means that a game made by an independent studio is published by the console manufacturer. Insomniac is as 2nd party as you can get, but Sony treats them like 1st party when it comes to things like dev kits and their relationship with other internal studios.
