DMeisterJ on 24 May 2009

With the way Microsoft has been closing down studios that they own (Ensemble, etc.) I don't think MS is willing to fund a company just for a few mid-level games. The Resistance franchise is okay, but not special, and Ratchet is dying a slow death. No point in MS really trying hard to get them unless they just feel like being a tool. Not a good enough Return on Investment for relatively small IPs (compared to their IPs like Halo/Gears/etc.)

It's like this, they'd probably mention to Sony a plan of going full 3rd Party (multiplat). Sony would see the relationship, success and importance of them, and guess what, out would come the $$$$$$!

Insomniac's not going anywhere, count on that.


I agree. All of Insomniacs games ATLEAST sell a million copies.

2nd party devs like Insomniac and Bungie don't cut their ties because Sony/MS are the ones who promote their games and the devs remember how small they were before they had good relationships with Sony/MS.

Anyone remember Disrupter by Insomniac? Anyone remember any of Bungies games before Halo? Neither had big titles BEFORE their strong ties with Sony/MS, so there is loyalty, and also a fear that their games wouldnt sell as much if they went multiplat.

 

If anything, I could see EPIC Games going multiplat because they were already big time before making an exclusive game for MS.

Epic is already MultiPlat.....

And more importantly, Unreal Tournament III was on PS3 before it was on 360...

A secondary IP now... not nearly as important as it use to be... very sad really
