Microsoft gave insomniac what they wanted. Freedom to be independent, ownership of the IP and resources. What else can be this good.

Does that mean we can expect a sequel on the PS4 :O!?


Nope. Microsoft gave them the right to own the IP. But they are not stupid. Probably the trilogy (sunset overdrive) will be exclusive. PS4 has lots of games. Why do you want it in to PS4? Please dont start a titanfall like situation.

It's easy why I want this on the PS4. IT looks super fun! Same as Titanfall both games are on my wishlist for the PS4. I'm a student, I can't simply afford both systems. I'm going to get the PS4, because of the great games they gave me on the PS3. So far I'm still enjoying it on a daily base. In the future, when I got a full time job it will be different.

Insomniac was never very good, they were just said to be good because they were Sony exclusive, and Sony has so many fans who automatically praise any sony exclusive.

once they went multiplat they no longer had that effect, so people were free to say the truth about their games.

That said, SO actually looks kinda cool, amd I dislike cartoony art, but it looks cool renough to overcome that maybe.


The level of irony in this post is insane! xD

 

It doesn't bother me that they call Microsoft a terrific partner because that's probably true. Though my Spyro and PlayStation nostalgia took a little hit when the guy from Insomniac said that Sunset Overdrive was the game they've been wanting to make for the last 20 years.

It's a little like if your girl says: "You stuck with me through thick (Spyro + early R&C) and thin (Resistance + late R&C) but now I'm back and better than ever and leaving you for your rich rival."

 

SO looks great though ;p



Well i don't really care but they are not getting any "food" from me, of that you can be sure.



the game looks shit

So, they got probably 1000 tweets yesterday from people complaining about how they could work with Microsoft and he simply responded to one of these tweets telling that this guy can say what he wants about Microsoft but they are a great partner? What do you exactly expect from Insomniac or their employees? To say nothing positive about Microsoft even if they think that Microsoft deserves it because they are simply a great partner for them?

"we can ever say anything good about any partner in the future because we worked with Sony"

The game moves so slow. E3 trailer made me expect something different.

Yeah, exactly. Conceptually it comes off as Dead Rising X Infamous X Ratchet & Clank, which is right up my alley. It's graphically amazing and has incredibly vibrant colors, so even with the samey enemies and douchey character design it still looks fantastic. But the movement looks really off, everything moves at about half the speed it should, and the shooting just seemed really unsatisfying.

They did say it's an old build and that's something they're supposed to be working on, so here's hoping because it's really off putting.

It's disgusting to me. They are traitors. Without Sony, they would probably be gone now.


Lol i knew this was coming. Lol



I like this topic not for what Insomniac has left behind but more because of the idea of business practices between MS and Sony.

MS give you money to do with as you please, develop your game, keep it as your IP but all they ask for in return is the game on their platform only.

Sony come up with their idea, they own it but then hire you to make it.

Both legitimate ways of doing things and both working out very nicely for Insomniac. If EA had funded it instead with their partnership the game might be on a number of consoles alas, Fuse probably put EA off.



Hmm, pie.

Sony doesn't feed them anymore because Insomniac failed Sony all last gen. Why keep feeding someone who doesn't deliver the goods anymore? Sony already owns the Resistance and Ratchet and Clank IP's so they could just give it to another developer to make if they wanted. Have you seen Sunset Overdrive? All they did was mesh Ratchet's art style with an Infamous like game..



While I don't think Insominiac and Sony are on the best of terms at the moment, I don't think they meant what they said to sleight them.

Sony requires ownership of an IP if they are going to foot the entire bill for it. This leads into the idea they refuse to moneyhat something that is just later going to be on opposition's hardware.

Insomniac doesn't like the idea of being controlled/stifled. Everything they have made in the past 10 years belongs to Sony(until FUSE). They put in all the work to make a game but no real say it seems on how it is marketed. This must be frustrating. I think Insomniac is jaded after what Sony did(or didn't do) with Resistance 3. They made their best game in the series and Sony first made it bundled with an expensive peripheral(3d 2way tv)..... then reneged on it and threw the game to the wolves in that release year. Virtually 0 marketing effort caused that game to bomb bad, and this was at a time when the studio was just opening their 2nd office in North Carolina.

They will still make Ratchets I assume, as it is their only guaranteed money in the bank series, but they will try to make games where they have more say for now on.
