Insomniac games goes multiplatform...

Hey guys, Ted Price here,

I wanted to speak directly to you, our fans, about some big news for Insomniac. Over the last 16 years, you?ve supported Insomniac by buying over 35 million copies of our games. You?ve explored with us the worlds of Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance on PSOne, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. And you've interacted with us directly through our online communities. In other words, we've gotten to know each other pretty well.

Lately, many of you have been asking, ?what?s next?? Today, we?re excited to announce that we have created a brand new universe and franchise for you to experience in the coming years. As we develop it, one of our goals is to provide an awesome experience for as many players as possible. With that in mind, we?re working with EA Partners to bring this title to both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

You may be wondering why we?re announcing this game now, and how it relates to our existing projects. We?ve been developing games on an annual pace during the last 16 years. One thing that has become apparent to us though is that in order to live up to our own high standards of quality, we want to give ourselves more development time to iterate and polish our games. All future Insomniac titles will benefit from longer development cycles, which will directly benefit you, our fans.

We know many of you are extremely loyal to the PlayStation family, and especially to Resistance and Ratchet & Clank. We are too. Our relationship with Sony Computer Entertainment is still very strong, and continues as we develop additional projects exclusively for PlayStation 3 - projects that will take full advantage of our additional development time.

This is an exciting time for everyone at Insomniac ? we look forward to continuing to create the high-quality experiences you?ve come to expect from us. From all of us here, thanks again for all your support. It truly means a lot to us.

Oh Nooooooooooo! I don't like that at all. I can see that you don't like it either, oldage. I like the idea of longer development times, as long as they don't make a Valve out of themselves, but I think going multiplat is the wrong move considering the kind of games they like to develop.

EDIT: I guess it's okay, there's nothing I can do to change it. Hoping the games aren't worsened by this is all. Here's hoping Bungie does the same thing.		2010-05-25 17:28:00

Not the best news if you have a PS3 but I don't think it will affect the quality of Insomniac's games...the PS3 and 360 are pretty comparable really. I dread the inevitable picayune side by side comparison of their first multi-plat release, I just hope it's not an fps.2010-05-25 20:30:00

Sony own the Ratchet and Resistance IP's. Whatever the new IP is Insomniac will own it and EA will be handleing the publishing as part of their partners scheme.		2010-05-25 21:15:00

I don't see the problem. All it means is more money, which will allow better games. It's win win.

I don't care for exclusives. If Forza went to PS3 i would be fine with that, it would mean more money for T10 and by extension better games. Same with GT, i'd love it on X360 (it's sony though so they can't) and it would bring them more money, so more to spend on development and a better game as a result (in an ideal world) They may even be able to release the game this century...		2010-05-25 23:08:00

Don't care.
No Insomniac games ever defined the Playstation brand.
They were good and fun, I loved most of them but they were not groundbreaking.

Spyro was inferior to Crash
R&C wasn't in the same league of Jak
And Resistance doesn't stand a chance against GOW, LBP, Uncharted, Heavy Rain or Killzone.

So I don't care.		2010-05-26 14:56:00

Good for them
I've never actually played any insomniac games as far as I can recall, and even if I did, I don't think this changes anything.

This'll fuel silly console arguments nonetheless. The internet is sometimes such a very sad place.		2010-05-26 22:35:00
