Forums - Gaming - Who will publish Insomniac's game if they make a multiplat game?

There has been some rumors that Insomniac might make a multiplatform game

Not a lot of rumors and everyone of them was from a "source" but the most trusted one was from 1UP podcast

Anyway, who do you think will publish their game if they make a multiplatform game? Sony and Microsoft are out of the picture of course, so who's left? EA, Activision or Ubisoft are the big 3

Or do you see Insomniac publishing their own game? I don't know if they are big enough to publish their own game, but are they even big enough to advertise and support it?

I just want to add I don't think Insomniac will go multiplatform... The reason they've been with Sony for so long is that Sony both support them and gives them the freedom they want as an independent studio and that also the reason why Sony don't buy them

I can't see them working with companies like EA and especially Activision which will go out against what that studio stands for

Probably Ubisoft



Resistance 3 should be a mult-platform tiitle. Here is why.

Resistance : Fall of Man = 3.67m. Launch title and bundled.
Resistance 2 = 1.82 m. PS3 user base much bigger but this game did not sell very well at all.

Huge drop in sales and Resistance 2 was supposed to be a much better game than Resistance. What happened to the sales?

Resistance 3 IMO would actually sell more on the XBox 360 which sells shooter games.

Any one of the three publishers could publish the game as multi-platform.

Sony owns the Resistance IP afaik.



Currently playing: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, NBA2k11, Metal Gear Solid, Picross 3d

Sony owns the Resistance IP so that's out of the question.

FoM was a launch title,and thats why its sold so much,Insomniac knows that.

Insomniac has shipped over 2 million R2 copies anyway,so they dont feel very sorry about it.

And no,R3 wouldnt sell more on the 360,its like saying U3 would sell more on the 360.

Why even think about this when Resistance is owned by Sony? And you know, pretty much every Fall of Man fan thought Resistance 2 was inferior, THAT's the real reason the sales are so much lower.

Most RFOM fans seemed to feel the game was actually a step back because it tried too hard to copy aspects of Halo/Cod - limited weapons, similar controls, etc.

Also, RFOM sold way above its weight due to bundling and offering probably the best FPS/online for PS3 for quite a while.  R2 sales are more in line with the title's true appeal I think - probably a little low due to the grumbling but not too much.

TBH, Forza should probably be on PS3, etc. by that logic (and I don't fault your logic) but clearly both MS and Sony will push franchises that are less popular on their console to expand them and will either fund, own or develop themselves IP to do so.

Resistance simply isn't open for a multi conversation for this reason - and neither is Forza either.

OT - maybe Ubi?  Hard to say to be honest.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

The reason Resistance 2 did so poorly was because CoD4, pretty simple, it became the premiere shooter on PS3. Also R2 was worse than R1.

OT: I have no idea..



 

Not a lot of interest I see
