No, that's not the general consensus. Their last 3 games were lackluster. 2 of which were minor PSN titles, really. Before that, both R3 and Ratchet: ACiT were excellent.

All 4 One a minor PSN title?  It was sold at retail for $59.99.  It was a really shitty retail game that sold poorly and they gave it away on PS+ later on for free, but being on PS+ doesn't make it a minor PSN title.  Is Infamous 2 a minor PSN title?  Is Uncharted 3 a minor PSN title?  Is Little Big Planet 2 a minor PSN title?

If I'm mistaken and it's only three crappy games, still.  That's three poor games in a row.  As highly praised as the company is, you'd expect them to make one bad game, or if they made more than one bad game, atleast separated by a whole bunch of good games.  But not three bad games IN A ROW.

I get what he meant, I guess he's confident it's a true XBO exclusive.

im willing to bet that it is 100% a xbox one exclusive. i think people who are hoping for this on PS4 will be VERY dissapointed


I dont think too many care TBH.

No you don't care, unless it was on PS4, then you would be praising it. LOL

No, I really wouldn't, I have never been a big insomniac fan, please show where I have praised their games? I felt teh same about socoms series.

 

Unlike you, I can be objective, i don't like all sony's franchises. But I bet you go out of your way to praise anything on xbox regardless if its out yet or good bad right? Just because you are like that, don;t pretend I am.

 

Insomniac is hardly a dev that makes games you want to buy a console for.



Ive bought every insomniac game (latest 2/3 at bargain bins) since spyro 1, it feels wierd knowing im not gonna buy this game, at least until a few years after release.
My first PS2 game was ratchet and clank 1, sorta what kept me playing ps2 forever. Im okay with skipping this one but hope they move on from ratchet and make a new multi-platform platformer.

1999, Sega developer:

"I will not say never because you never really know (heck Sonic could end up on Nintendo one day)"

Are you saying the situations are similar? If Insomniac go under, Sony would still have the IP. That's the big difference here. 

If you meant to imply Sony could go under, I find you funny


Well, well, well...

I´m surprised how people get thing so serioully here.

No, my friend. I was just joking. I have no idea how Sega was back in 99 or how this issue with Sony today. 

But the though is the same. Anything can happen at technolog and game industries. (Bill Gates at Mac World showing Office?)

No company should be considered ethernel and no IP considered untouchble. Sony can go bananas as easy as Microsoft, or Nintendo or Apple or Samsung. Heck, could any one foresee Motorola and Nokia been bought 5 years ago?

Just take it easy, man.

Ratchet on xbox? lol not gonna happen. I mean hell The last of us could end up on xbox one day!!



I love me some Ratchet and Clank. So I don't care about which system it's on, so long as the series continues.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Unfortunately I skipped 2/3rds of the Resistance series and haven't picked up Fuse yet (and not sure if I will), so I can't say I'm in the same boat as you.  Except that this is the first game that I likely won't have the option to buy until a long time into the future; if then.  Which is kind of a weird thought.



I'm looking forward to seeing more of Sunset Overdrive. The reveal trailer was very fun and colorful.
