Forums - Sony - Insomniac: "We are the best on PS3"

Not just Naughty Dog, but Guerilla, Polyphony Digital and Sucker Punch.

These are in fact very bold claims by Ted Price, unless he's now looking at R3 and can see something that we haven't seen that proves this?

I made a post a few months ago about R3, claiming that Insomniac needs to push everything so much further to be able to compete with the likes of Killzone 3, inFamous 2 and even Uncharted 2, but now seeing this, I hope this means that they have in fact pushed everything that they were capable of 2 years ago so much further.

I cannot deny that their games are good fun and they certainly know how to provide a good multiplayer feature, but they seriously need to push their graphics engine up quite a few notches, just to compete on the same level as the others.

The screens from R3 that we've seen recently look good, but we need to see a trailer showcasing what they've been doing for the last 2 years and I sincerely hope it's brilliant.

Oh and Insomniac released 5 games so far on the PS3 with 2 more coming next year exclusively on PS3 while Naughty dog only released 2, Guerilla games are about to release there 2nd game, Santa monica released 1 and Polyphoney digital have yet to release 1. I think that along speaks for itself


In Santa Monica's case:
- They didn't release GoW2 for PS2 until 2007. Then came GoW3 development.
- During GoW2 and 3 Development, SMS had their hands in a number of other projects such as:
----- Fat Princess, Warhawk, GoW: Betrayal, flOw, Chains of Olympus, deTuned, Linger in Shadows, which leads to my next point,
- SMS, just like insomniac, GG and ND, all aid in the development of other SONY games from SONY 1st and second parties. SMS arguably contributes more than any other team. They simply don't have the ego-trips over it as much as say Naughty Dog or Insomniac.

I've read it. None the less, i'm just replying to his (geddesmon2's) post which insinuates insomniac superiority based on number of games they put out. It's a response to his post, not what Insomniac did or didn't say.

If you're referring to my "Ego-trip" comment, I'm just reffering to the the fact that Insomniac and ND are the only devs (when it comes to the devs being mentioned in this thread, anyway) that actually speak of the contributions in question. Naughty Dog more so as they at times go on the record about the whole console superiority thing (suckerpunch is also guilty of this). SMS and GG keep to themselves about those things.

EDITED

I hope you're saying this while realizing that the quote has been taken out of context.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Slow down.

At no point did he say Insomniac were the best on PS3.

At no point did he say they knew the system better than anyone else.

"First and foremost, I think we have a world-class engine team.

"In particular, they focused heavily on using the PS3s SPUs more effectively - in my opinion - than anyone else in the business [when working on R&C: Tools Of Destruction]."

That is all he said.

Every time it gets reported, it is twisted into something worse. Have a look at this:

For the record, we haven't seen what Team ICO can do with the PS3. Did you play Shadow of the colossus. That game looked like a PS2.5 game. Arguably the most impressive PS2 game (in terms of graphics and scale). I can't wait to play it in HD. Gonna be epic. Still haven't played ICO.

Team ICO should have delayed it and made it a PS3 launch title like they did ICO . . . .. maybe not because look how long TLG is taking.

Yeah I know all of Sonys american studios have been helping each other out. My point is Insomniac have produced so many PS3 games that the statement Ted made even though he was referring to when Tools of Destruction released has a lot of merit. These guys have made more games for the PS3 than any other studio releasing for the PS3. When they say they know the PS3 better than any studio it has games to back that statement up. Also Insomniac have been sharing technology and helping other studios for years aswel.

Gosh, the ginormous egos of a lot of these Western developers are just getting silly, now.
