Forums - Sony - Next Insomniac Title To Be PlayStation 3 Exclusive.

Ratchet and Clank and Resistance creators Insomniac Games' next title will be another PS3 exclusive, the studio revealed, ending speculation that it might go multi-platform with its titles. It's currently in development, though no further details are available.

The information was revealed in the Los Angeles-based developer's biographical information as the studio announced it is one of the best places to work for in the state of California, according to an Employers' Group survey -- the fifth-best, to be exact, and the only game studio on the list.

As part of the release, Insomniac updated on franchise sales for its games, saying that the first three Spyro the Dragon games and its titles in the Ratchet & Clank franchise and the Resistance series have combined to sell more than 32 million units worldwide.

The firm also specifically noted, as part of the company's background information: "Insomniac Games is currently developing an unannounced title, exclusively for PS3."

As for the company award, Employers' Group awarded the winners based on responses to questions about work environment, policies, practices and benefits, plus a survey of a random sample of employees.

Among the perks the studio offers its staffers: a collaborative environment, peer awards that include tickets to concerts and sporting events, royalty programs and massage therapy. Insomniac is even set to treat employees and their significant others to a Bahamas cruise for the studio's 15th anniversary.

The studio notes this is the eighth time it's been honored as a "best workplace" since 2005. "Last year was an especially historic time for Insomniac in that we launched two successful games in one year while also laying the groundwork for our new North Carolina studio," says founder and CEO Ted Price.

"It's therefore especially gratifying to earn such praise for our work culture considering the volume of activity and change we experienced. When we factor in the multitude of innovative companies populating the state this honor becomes even more humbling and special."

Was anyone actually doubting this?



True. Not much of a surprise to me at all.



Would the people at the fifth best place to work in California be unhappy, and go multiplatform? And according to Wikipedia the 32 million are 11 games (including Quest for Booty) which means about 3 million per game!!!

 Not really but according to them they talked about multi so wonder if Sony had a little chat with them.

I think it was more hoping, than actually believing that they were going to go multiplat. Insomniac is an excellent dev team, and I'm sure that some 360 owners were hopeful that they would get to experience some Insomniac games on their 360. But did most of them really believe that........probably not, since Insomniac is almost synonymous with Sony. I'm sure there were some who believed it, but I think the majority were more hopeful (I could be very wrong, but that was my impression of it).



Who were the idiots who said insomniac was going multi????????Its impossible,they r lyk rockstars to sony theres no way they will develop a game fr xbox or wii....



Being a cricket fan is much simpler and more fun

Maybe they should go develop for the wii (warning: I've never actually played a wii)



Insomniac games never made a multi-platform game and since SCE is its parent company I don't expect any multi-platform games from them any time soon.



Huh?? wait a minute I thought Insomniac was a first party developer? and how much you wanna bet Spyro's commin back!!
