Yeah, everything you described is the big problem with modern gaming unfortunately. Less creative risk taking and more "safe" which I can't blame Sony for. Like you said, Marvel games print money. At least I know Insomniac will have much higher quality with their games than other franchises that are popular and print money like CoD. If R&C can take a loss, Sony can at least greenlight a Sunset Overdrive 2 with a smaller budget. Seeing Spider-Man 2 have a budget over $300 million is insane! A Sunset Overdrive 2 wouldn't need to have anything that large. Doesn't matter. We know it's not in the cards. EDIT: Apparently Insomniac only made $567 from Sunset Overdrive? That's unfortunate for such a great game, but even that is better than an $8 million loss. |
I think you are mixing the money paid for Insomniac for the royalties etc with the money made by the title for the publisher. On the table where Sunset Overdrive had a 567 of IG share, there isn't any negative number (at most there are 0), the losses aren't absorbed on the developer but on publisher (Playstation now). |
Yeah I definitely got that mixed up 
I don't think there has been any info on the losses, if any, Sunset Overdrive incurred, but only MS would have that info.
It's no wonder why Sony and Insomniac are so set on Marvel properties.
