Resistance and Ratchet & Clank developer, Insomniac Games, has told GamesIndustry.biz that it is happy to keep releasing product in the increasingly busy pre-Christmas rush, despite a number of key titles being moved by other publishers to avoid clashes with some of the year's biggest hitters.
So far several major games have been pushed to 2010, while others have been set intentionally to steer clear of releases such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2.
"I think the Holiday season is still a great time to release a title - it's been hugely successful for us in Insomniac's 15-year history," Insomniac's director of marketing and communications - Ryan Schneider - explained, referring back to the release of Resistance 2 last year. "If we'd pushed to January we'd have been closer to Killzone's launch window as well, so I think one of the strengths of working with Sony is that you have this huge pipeline of great content.
