Does Sony have a financial stake in Insomniac?

Ted: "Nope. Sony has no ownership or financial stake in us."

Why are you guys called "first party" when you're not owned by Sony?

Ted: "We work directly with the first party divisions at SCEA, SCEE and SCEI. These divisions are responsible for Sony-published titles whether or not the developer is a part of Sony. Therefore even though I guess we're technically "second party" (or perhaps even "third party" since agreed-upon definitions don't seem to exist) we've always used the term "first party." I realize that it gets pretty confusing. Also, if we had to, we could always move to another platform or another publisher. That's one of the benefits of being independent. But it doesn't make a whole lot of business sense for us to do that."

Antan6499d ago

Even this guy ducked the rsx specs question. Well there is certainly something going on!!!! but time will tell i guess.

andy capps6499d ago

Of course he did, if Sony hasn't spilled the beans yet, do you think a developer would have leaked that? No way, they'd be slapped on the wrists really hard if they did that, if it hasn't been released yet it's because either Sony will never release the official specs or they are doing it in their own time. As with all things Sony, I think they're doing it in their own time.

I asked him the one about if the game would be in any of the "demo pods" in Wal-mart or Best buy, good answers to that and the other questions. Great read. I'm just looking forward to seeing some direct feed HD videos of this game on Gametrailers.com though.

Antan6499d ago

i didn`t mean it to sound that way, i mean his manner in ducking the question.....as you say, as if his life depended on it !!!

Retard6499d ago

"...The folks playing multiplayer were participating in 40 player Breach matches against Sony’s testers in Foster City, California. It was a great demonstration of the PS3’s online capabilities and Resistance’s muscle since we were running true international games that didn’t drop frame or experience lag. Kudos to Sony’s testers for playing through the wee hours of the morning for three days straight since Japan is 16 hours ahead of the US West Coast..."

Anyone else think that looks great for Sony?

Great Read!10 of 10 I say.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff218350d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken50d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff218350d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken50d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga50d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga49d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows9050d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack50d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike50d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde50d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor50d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie50d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut8550d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno50d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf50d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken50d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff218350d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH50d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE50d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH50d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner50d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel198950d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel198950d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long50d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole50d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long50d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb50d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX50d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro140d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72140d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_140d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga140d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23140d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000140d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin140d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole140d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix140d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989140d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt817d ago

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon815d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 815d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris816d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09816d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty815d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb816d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602816d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop815d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72815d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya815d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.
