Insomniac Chief Creative Officer thinks the PS3 has the most advanced hardware: Insomniac Games is in a pretty unique position. The company isn't owned by Sony, yet is responsible for two of the PlayStation 3's most important Sony published titles: Resistance and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com in an exclusive interview to be published tomorrow, Insomniac's Brain Hastings has given his opinion on the current state of PlayStation 3 development and what's still to come.
"The amount of action we're able to put on the screen at 60 frames per second really dwarfs what we were able to do a year ago at 30 frames per second," said Hastings. "What's most exciting is the way things are headed right now I think we'll see just as big a leap from our second generation engine to our third as we did from the first to second."
Looking ahead, he was equally as optimistic: "We're already seeing a big leap in what people are able to do with the PS3 now compared to a year ago, and we're going to see just as big a leap between now and the end of 2008," said the Insomniac Games Chief Creative Officer. "I think we're going to continue seeing major leaps each year in what people are able to do with the machine for at least three or four more years."
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
Spook-A-boo is a silly ghost-hunting game where you and up to 3 friends explore different levels, hunting down ghosts in a game of hide-and-seek.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
Gotta be a slow news day when a 18 hours and 3 comments (now 4)makes it to the front page🤷🏿
.
Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.
Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.
Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
Can you say wow???... now we are listening to proOf of more than 60FPS in the coming years. PS3 is number 1. They are going to prove it. 120FPS PUS EVEN MORE ON SCREEN POSSIBLY? WOW Its gonna get crazy.
He is basically talking about dng the speed of FPS and amount on screen anually... That is so impreesive. JUST IMAGINE RATCHET DOUBLED FOR RESISTANCE 2 NEXT YEAR. HOLY BALLS. sERIOSULY HOLY BALLS. Sony is really about to shut everybody the fvck up.
Do u guys seriously not realize the 360 has peaked? This generation with ratchet is the closest the 360 WILL EVER COME. And no it serisously couldn't run ratchet like the PS3 does. IMAGINE THAT TIMES 2 FOR RESISTANCE 2. We are talking paw CPU power baby. The 360 has been leveled out... why do u think halo has so many framerate drops and only 640p. What about them saying the Orange Box literally used 94% of the 360's power. The 360 isn't going to keep up these next 2 years guys... if its truw what this guy is saying. He's literally saying we WILL see 120 Frames per second with a ton of things going on screen in the next 3-4 years. And if theres goin to be a HUGE difference next year... we could see that next year and even more in the future. The PS3 is not a joke. I'm so gald I'm getting my PS3.
As Nasim would say:
@ NASTY BOT Below:
You aren't funny cool guy... I didn't type 124 I clearly typed 120 as in 120 frames per second. If you read the article you could understand he clearly said the engine that runs at 60 FPS@ 720p will have another HUGE jump by next year... that means at least 90 FPS @720p . Think about about doin that over for 4 years. Yeah baby we are EASILY talking 120 FPS in the next 4 years. We don't know maybe really soon. Either way Sony already said they would eventually do 120 FPS and they will. Fanbot
