New IPs from Insomniac on the way

Insomniac Games has said that it "would be silly" to think that Resistance would be the developer's last new IP, revealing that the Burbank-based studio will be developing new IPs "at some point in the future".

Yeah, can't wait to see something new from them. Resistance is great and R&C is pure fun.

Thats great but i really hope they are working on Resistance 3!

Id like to see where they take the series and how they fix some of the mistakes in the second game (even though i still think R2 was a really great game!!)

1.3 - Yes that is GREAT news but
right now I am just focused on getting Ratchet & Clank:ACIT this week from Best Buy using their 3 for 2 deal. I played the R&C demo and thought it was brilliant. I love R&C games I hope Insomniac doesn't close the door on this franchise.

1.5 - Hopefully
A zelda-esque Action/Adventure RPG with tons of puzzles, dynamic real-time simulations, very cinematic non-linear storyline, and deep character personalities.

Duh! What, did people expect them to make Resistance 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8? Of course they're going to eventually make new IPs.

1.7 - I hope they finish Resistance with a BANG
and make Resistance 3 the best Resistance ever and then move to a new franchise! I hope they'll NOT come out with Resistance Wars or Resistance ODST or Resistance Reach after finishing the fight in R3 because that is just stupid!

Insomniac is among the best dev out there and even R:FOM was a surprised from them considering their existing game at that time were the like of Spyro and R&C! I hated FPS before but I got R:FOM when I knew it is Insomniac's and boy did I really GLAD I did that! that game has me hooked to FPS until today and although I'm not an expert in FPS, still it opened a new page in my gaming genre!

2 - Yep They are doing 2 new ips, since Ratchet And Clank:ACIT is done and closing the series
the Company is hot at work on 2 new games from it's Burbank Studio and 1 from it's North Carolina studio's.... I've seen only one of the 3 games in development from them, and that was all thanks to Insomniac Community Day 2009 a few days ago... goodness i love these guys.

Ted and the Insomniacs Rock. Cant wait for the reveal of the other games. and whats more is that they are all PS3 exclusive. ^^

2.2 - Nope cant tell at all... I signed an NDA( Non-Disclosure Agreement) when i was at the Community day
I will say though that this Game, rivals KZ2 in Graphics. There engine has really matured. everyone who saw it couldn't believe that there engine had grown that much better. it looks amazing. ^^ thats all i can say. very epic.

haha, are you serious guy ?

Surely you can talk about the genre without breaking your NDA, besides, its the internet, no one knows your true identity.

I'm hoping its NOT an FPS.

Thats the main problem i had with Resistance 2, the first looked great, the second - not so much, it had really great moments like the Leviathan, but some effects looked a little cheap (Hales Uniform for example, especially when compared to Drakes on Uncharted).

If its true the game rivals K2 graphics, then im sure the rest of the game will follow suit, as i always thought if R2 was put into the K2 engine and had more cutscenes it would have been amazing.

Edit: Did you happen to take any 'casual' photos that happen to have that specific game, coincidentally in the background? lol

Hate to say it, but this Sevir guy is a jackass. I, unlike him, will tell you the truth. They showed no one what was going on behind the curtain, and instead directed our attention to the free copies of Ratchet which we all got signed by the entire dev team. Nothing was shown, no NDA forms were handed out. This guy is a piece of lying trash.

They definitely are working on some stuff tho, as most of the office had been cordoned off since the last time I had been there for the prior Community Day in 2008.

Come to think of it, it seems a little unlikely they would get their guests to sign NDAs lol, dont think they would quite trust them not to say anything. Especially if it was a new IP, lol doubt they would risk someone spoiling how they want to announce it etc.

2.8 - issa3032 --- I'm lying..? dude you couldn't You had to sign an NDA to get into the marriot where they were having the Panal
and right after you signed the paper, which you were instructed to read, they then placed the Playstation ristband on your hand and validated your parking ticket... as for lying i've got my little blog with me that has all what was described. maybe you were one of the unlucky ones that left just before the auction. anywho. here's the link and sorry you were the unlucky one who left early ^^

I'm sorry to have to be the one to say this to you folks but sevir04 is full of crap. Yes it is true that we had to sign NDAs. However, the reason issa3032 stated that we didn't have to sign one is because he was probably one of the guys at the back of the line or one of the folks who showed up late after the panel. I overheard some of the Insomniac staff talking about how they ran out of NDAs and a bunch of people had just showed up and they were discussing what to do with them. Insomniac stated that they would only be allowing 120 people into the event but they ended up allowing around 160-170 from what I saw.

My friend and I were two of the last to leave as I was havin' a ball jammin' some R&C. We left about 20 minutes after they awarded the final PS3 slim to the winner of the "My Blaster Runs Hot" competition. They did NOT show off any new IPs or disclose any secret projects to the people who stayed behind. They were very tight lipped as far as their future projects were concerned. Ted Price even gave a "no comment" when someone asked if there would be a R&C collection released for the PS3 a la the God of War Collection.

My thing is this. Yes we signed NDAs. However if you're going to use that as the reason that you can't divulge any information, then keep your mouth shut instead of teasing people for attention as it's a very lame thing to do. If you're going to abide by the NDA then abide by the NDA and don't say ANYTHING at all.

2.13 - I see no reason why Sevir would lie...
he's proven already that he attended the event, and I find it hard to believe they would ask people to sign an NDA without reason, so something big must of happened either way for those who stayed.

If what your saying about the graphics being comparable to KZ2, then I'm incredibly happy, KZ2 is an amazingly good looking game (right below UC2, which may be overthrown itself by KZ3, heavy rain, or GOW III)

since it 'rivals KZ2 in graphics' I will assume it is in a similiar genre to it and is set in an urban surrounding :P

Sad to see Ratchet and Clank be put on hold, it is one of my favourite series and I never want it to end :(

EDIT: How amazing would a Spyro revival be?!! :D

Dear Insomniac. Your true fans are the ones that have buying every game you've made since Spyro. As a fan, im saying thank you for not making another Resistance. I understand you dont own the rights to spyro anymore, so get it back, idiots.

P.S. And tell your friends at Rare to make another Conker, you can help save gaming yet. Thank you.

After reading that future Insomniac games will all have co-op. I hope that is a sign that co-op will be put back into the campaign mode of Resistance 3. I really think the Insomniac game for 2010 will be from the North Carolina branch and 2011 will be R3. Why I think R3 will come out 2011 is because I think Insomniac has some big plans for that series. I so would love to see what Insomniac can do with a Survival/Adventure game. To me IG had hints of a nice survival/Horror game in Resistance but I would love to see them take it up a notch and see what they can do in that genre.

14.1 - Yes i was tehre for the entire thing!!!
but just because they ran out of NDA's doesn't mean they didn't make more, please give me a break, i waited about 30 freakin minutes after My blaster runs hot competion. a new project was unvieled and it wowed who stayed... Far from full of sh!t. but you know what. i'm done defending my self. call lie if you want, but there'd be no reaon to sign an NDA if they weren't showing something from the get go. you missed it and thats that.

14.2 - I really couldn't see them announcing new IP's to a guest audience.
- Doesn't make sense
- Unprofessional
- Entirely innapropriate during launch for a new game
- Doubt SONY would allow it
- Way too small an audience to announce
- Definitely more important people who they would break the news to first
- Lessens impact of the confirmed announcement
- Probably too soon to actually show anything at all given where the companies currently paying all its attention to (R&C)

I'm calling shenanigans.

14.3 - @ Dead Cell
Its not an announcement braniac. If they wanted to announce the game they wouldnt be handing out NDA's. Should they show the game to more people so its more likely someone would leak info about it? If they are not ready to announce the game then the less people they show it to is better, and whoever more important people you are talking about either knows about it already or have absolutely no need of knowing anything about it because its probably about 6 months until they will unveil the game.

Seriously i have no clue if this is true or not, but its pretty stupid when you talk like its an announcement just to find extra things to put on your "why this is bullsh1t" list. If Insomniac actually did do this then its was a gift to their fans. I dont see the problem with that.

I work in the industry movies and games alike for 20 years now. I own my own hired gun (freelance studio),we work on many projects,both on site (25% of the time) and remote contracting the other 75% of the time.I have many contacts all over the industry,and will say on Sevir04's behalf that NDA's were part of the community day...I was not there,but know people who were,but am surprised to see/hear people ask him to breach both his integrity and NDA.

I have heard rumors of a new IP coming from Insomniac ( ACT/RPG platformer) way before E3,and at E3 even saw target renders and pre-viz art from 2 different artists that very well could be for a new Insomniac IP,I will not go further into details.

Just look towards the North Carolina studio soon...Is as far as I am allowed to go...

Loved Resistance 1 and well Resistance 2 was in a way too cartoony with the bright colors and all. Resistance 2 had its moments here and there, great game but Resistance 3 needs to have a more realistic feel to it. Anyways that's just my opinion
