Why is that? Other than hoping for it do you have anything to backup your statement?


My statement is not to be taken as fact. It is simply an observation.

What I mean is, it seems MS are willing to give them more freedom than Sony, which is why it ended as an exclusive in the first place from what we have heard previously.  Obviously if that changes then insomniac will have a healthy relationship with Sony, but I think they may be getting bored with making Ratchet and Clank

Where is any proof for this?  Tales from your ass.  How do you know what freedom they had?  Sony is known for developer freedom,  sometimes being too lenient. 


They wanted to own the IP, there were articles about it

That's still quite a leap from not wanting to work with Sony and developed freedom. Your creating a narrative that does not exist. By your logic bungie will never want to work with Ms ever again.

Game is given away for free in bundles more than retail sales. I don't think it will do great in retail but ok as i can see more people want to buy SO bundle more than buying a console and a retail copy of it if look at amazon sellers list where its listed for away.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

No way Insomniac wants to work with Sony again after this. A trilogy of Overdrives on X1 this generation is a given, and it will be interesting to see where they take the franchise going forward


They will launch a new Ratchet and Clank in 2015. I think they no longer wish to be a 2nd party studio and will probably work with both. Well, they will never work with EA again after Fuse.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

I applaud them for doing something different than what's currently on PS4+Xbone which are futuristic FPS. I hope this game does really well.

Excuse me for forgetting the / I meant FPS or Futuristic games. And of those 160 games, how many sell as well as those FPS? Yeah, Assassins Creed and Far Cry, the usuals. The point is, the variety is very low and the games that you claim aren't even big enough to make an impact. Everyone talks about CoD, Destiny, GTA. I like different and SO is so different and you can tell by the development team and their commercials just how much fun they had making the game.

What do sales have to do with anything?  The indie variety on ps4 is amazing and a lot of unique games.  Sunset is very similar to infamous with a different art style. .... It's nothing new. Nothing wrong with that totally fresh experiences are rare.
