Forums - Gaming - Insomniac Games Loves “Microsoft & Sony Fans Equally;” Sunset Overdrive and Resistance 3 Share Directors

I wonder if Insomniac made the switch because they feel that they'd sell more games on XBOX than PS? Doesn't look like such a great decision now. Then again, I think XBOX exclusives will still sell more than PS4 exclusives. Yes, even with the 2 million console sales lead.

That's such a damn thing to say. Especially following up with "Let’s all have a big group hug & have fun playing games". Some of your "fans" aren't gonna have access to the game at all. Others have never had access to the games you've already made. Pretty damn equal treatment right there.



4 ≈ One

Sounds exactly like Bungie saying they love everybody......when reality paints a different picture lol



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Can´t blame them but they should just stfu about this stuff.

Who is this advice for? Insomniac or bitter Sony fans?

If we wanna say Insomniac did it for the money... lets not ignore Sony could have threw money at Sunset Overdrive. But Sony instead opted for Destiny marketing and Watch_Dogs marketing.

Keeping their games from being enjoyed by both fan bases is a strange way to show love for them.


Without a publisher (Microsoft) there wouldn't be anyone enjoying their games...

So their love is all about money. Whoever pitches in the most gets the most love. First Sony, then Microsoft.

they chose ms cuz ms allowed them to keep the ip.

Xbox exclusives sold more last gen because Microsoft split the multiplatform following fanbase Sony had expanded off of the back of Nintendo in the 80's and early 90's. Microsoft didnt expand the audience but they kind of just took them and were amazed by the sales that Sony once enjoyed and now had themselves. 

As for the reason why Insomniac left for MS. Sunset Overdrive is basically the game Insomniac had dreamed of making in their twenty years of working with Sony, but for once they wanted the IP and Sony wanted it. They couldnt agree so MS scooped them up. MS likes Sony devs or anyone affiliated with Sony.

What's this about?

I guess I can presume the same thing about Sony for publishing Tequila Works next game and for jumping on Destiny.

Now this is why i believe SO wont make it to ps4. Has Resistance made it to the xbox? ratchet and clank?
Insomniac isn't a 1st party studio owned by sony. It will pretty much be the same case here and i am looking foward to more gameplay at E3.



Insomniac was great, I loved the Resistance series. I don't mind if they publish only for Microsoft if that's in their best interests, but I'll still hope that one day they develop again for the PS4.

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

Nothing wrong with a company getting money from either MS or Sony... not sure why Insomniac are getting grief over that. I am personally not a fan of their games, but if you really like their stuff so much you buy the console its on.

As for going to get money off Sony or MS... well lets be realistic here, if its a decision to make a game for a publisher or go bust or make loads of staff redundant, I have no doubt I would be straight at MS/Sony's door asking for a deal. Anyone who gives them hassle is frankly an idiot.
