A Message From Ted – Sunset Overdrive , , At Insomniac, we’ve always been transparent with our fans. It’s important to us that our fans understand why we do what we do – it’s really the only way to build a meaningful long-term relationship. In the spirit of maintaining that rapport, I wanted to take a moment and discuss our big announcement today. In case you didn’t see it, we announced Sunset Overdrive, our next big console IP. You can watch the here and sign up to get more info on the . Here’s the official description of Sunset Overdrive: “Sunset Overdrive is an always changing, open-world shooter set in the not-so-distant future. A catastrophic event has left your city overrun by mutants. While the majority perished or transformed, you flourished. It turns out your calling isn’t picking up trash or serving food, it’s mutant destruction. With an arsenal of kick-ass, overpowered weapons and a knack for traversing the city with hyper agility, it’s not the end of days for you. Yourstory is just beginning.” It may surprise some of our longtime fans that we have partnered with Microsoft Studios to develop Sunset Overdrive exclusively for Xbox One. When we first began discussing this idea with Microsoft, we were initially hesitant to shift back into an exclusive arrangement. But as the Microsoft team began introducing us to the abilities and philosophies driving the development of Xbox One, we knew that Sunset Overdrive was a perfect fit. The Xbox One and Xbox Live will support our ambitions to create an ongoing two-way dialogue with our community. It will also allow us to have quicker production cycles, enabling timely content updates for new weapons, characters, storylines and even pop culture-relevant content like memes based on social commentary. Many of you may be asking what this news means for Insomniac. What about Ratchet & Clank? What about Fuse? Others may ask why we have “abandoned” our PlayStation heritage. The truth is, not a lot has changed. Insomniachas been, is, and will continue to be 100% independent. We have treasured that independence for the last 19 years. It now allows us to own and control our IP, and find the most suitable partners to make those IP a reality. While we are excited about partnering with Microsoft on Sunset Overdrive, that doesn’t mean we can’t or wouldn’t make games with our longtime friends at Sony. That’s the magic of being an independent developer. Everyone here at Insomniac and on the Sunset Overdrive team at Microsoft is pumped to bring the game to you. We hope you will sign up to get more info and join the S.C.U.K. For our local fans in Los Angeles, stay tuned to our Twitter () as there will be some activities around town offering a chance for you to earn some of the first Sunset Overdrive swag. Finally, next week we’ll be hosting a town hall style online stream. I’ll be joined by our Creative Directors on Sunset Overdrive, Marcus Smith (Creative Director, Resistance 3) and Drew Murray (Lead Designer,Resistance 3), and we’ll answer your Sunset Overdrive questions as best we can. We can’t wait to show you more of Sunset Overdrive. Thanks for reading, and please let me know what you think about the game and the news. dividebyzero A message to your fans?? they’ve always been on playstation… I can really feel the love for your fans by making a game exclusively for a non-playstation console. Bravo 40 Insane Frogs I couldn’t have said it better. Thanks for everything, Insomniac, but this is where we part ways. I can not support you any further, especially not if you’re making exclusive games for the DRMbone. Redfrog Games I have been a die hard fan for Insomniac ever since Spyro. I have bought every one of your games without even thinking twice about it, and you have never disappointed me. I will forever wonder about this game. But I literally cant get exited for it let alone buy it. I’m personally not buying an Xbox One and I don’t think the majority of your fanbase will sadly. While Istill support you, I don’t like where the future of my favorite Developer is going. I went absolutely batshit for ACIT (all time best game), I was exited about Fuse, and now I cant have any of these with this. A large portion of your fanbase probably also thinks this. I still have trust in you Ted. I hope this game goes well whether or not I will get to play it. FGras Doesn’t insomniac know that their fanbase is placed on the PS3? Multiplatform okay, but now… What went wrong in your company? sexbobomb91 I think that this is all because of Fuse and EA. In order to recoup their losses, EA “sold” them to Microsoft. Reeves I wish you the best of luck, but you have to take a long hard look at your studio and find your heart and soul again…you’ve lost something along the way and only you will be able to find it. Platform exclusives or not – I really do wish you the best of luck, you’ll need it when you alienate your existing fans. This is extremely disappointing news. Joey Woznicki As a Sonyloyalist, who has never seen enough first party creativity to justify an Xbox purchase, this is disheartening. If more stuff on Microsoft consoles looked like Sunset Overdrive, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one, but they tend to lag far behind from an imaginative perspective. I respect your decision, even if I don’t like it, and wish you all the best, but this will probably be the first Insomniac title in over a decade that I won’t buy. Instead, I’ll be busy with Puppeteer, Knack, and Infamous, and awaiting anything you offer the Playstation community. disappointedlombax Money talks! MS saved $1billion for things like this. Guess this was probably cheap compared to landing respawn. Justin Havard What I do not get is how you are keeping with your fans when you switch from Playstation to Xbox because most of your games are Playstation exclusives meaning that most Xbox people have not played your games and are not the “fans” that you are talking to in this post. I thought it was weird whenyou went away from Playstation exclusivity but saw that it made sense from a business point. But to now go to Xbox One exclusively with this new games does not make sense to me at all. Your fan base is with the Playstation system not the Xbox so why go completely away from Playstation? I have always been a huge fan of Insomniac and will continue to be one but it seems like you are alienating your fanbase with this move because most of us will not get an Xbox One at launch or anytime soon. Jeremy Filth It’s all about the money, Microsoft showed more bags of Money than Sony did. mrcawp Pathetic way to treat your fans – develop a new game for the opposite game system. And just because you were paid. Money talks. I won’t be spending any of mine on Insomniac games for some time, it seems. Guile I think this is great – I miss the days when developers would make games tailored to the strengths of certain hardware instead of dumbing down a port to the lowest common denominator. Unlike a lot ofpeople who will cling to loyalties, I’m a fan of good games regardless of where they end up as long a steam pours their creativity, heart, and soul into a project, dividebyzero so the ps4 will be the “lowest common denominator” in your opinion? NightRiven Well it can’t possibly be so, because it has about 50% more “power” than Xbox One. At least according to various developers and such. I am really disappointed with Insomniac, but then again i probably wouldn’t buy it, like i didn’t buy Fuse. I am only interested in Ratchet and Clank by Insomniac, and as long as they don’t make an R&C game, count me out. dividebyzero My point exactly, that’s why I was curious to hear his/her opinion Guile Where did I infer that? If you were around for the Sega Saturn days you would know that some things Saturn excelled at and some things playstation excelled at. When games were tailo made for the systems (Sega Rally, Castlevania, Guardian Heroes, Metal Gear, etc.) they really shined. XBox One’s DDR3memory does better with smaller textures and some supposed online processing whereas PS4 will probably do better in different areas. Julian Celaj I am really disappointed at Insomniac, grew up playing all your games in all Playstation consoles and this happens. Ouch. Nice way to treat your PS fans, not sure if I will support any games on the PS3/PS4 that you will release from now on. Don’t care if games are multi platform but this is a bit low. Cue to money money money song… Syraph Long Unfortunately, the game doesn’t exist to me due to it being only on the Xbox One. It just really doesn’t matter with their DRM policies. Many Playstation (and even 360/original Xbox) fans feel the same way. And don’t get me wrong, this isn’t because you have switched over exclusivity to another company. If this game was exclusively on 360 or a Nintendo console, there would be no problems. Exclusive on the Xbox One is just not. Just the point of a view from a person who has bought and played nearly allthe games you guys have created and owns multiple platforms. Stephen Perteet I can only afford one console, and if I choose PS4 I can’t get this. : Kinda feel dicked by a company whom I’ve supported since Disruptor and Spyro, and have at times called my favorite developer. It’s been fun guys. novanis I can’t clearly see why it is a Microsoft exclusive game (cloud usage?) … But one thing is for sure, I don’t saw it coming at the press conference, and it looks like a great Insomniac game. The crazy weapons, the art style … everything was so unique and nice to see. I was really like “Oh there is the old Overstrike gone.” =D It was one of the few announcements at the MS conference that I really enjoyed. But there-while I don’t see many reasons for a Xbox One right now and hoping thats changing in time. I am not disappointed that you guys gone the to another publisher, it even looks like you have more creative freedom that way. (Not like EA, cough!) Hopefully I can play it somehow in thefuture, really looking forward to it. And I know Ratchet & Clank is still in your hearts (2 spinoffs are the answer), it would be cool to see a big title with Sony in the making. Alex Davies Pathetic way of treating your fan base. Nice going team. Dan Steele If you truly listen to the fans like you say you do, make this multiconsole. I don’t hate Microsoft or the Xbox 360, just the Xbox. At least make it available for the 360 cell989 overstrike looked to have so much potential and Fuse killed it Dan Steele A sad but true fact, hopefully we all learn from our mistakes Sam Morris Unfortunately the game is being published by Microsoft Game Studios, so that won’t happen. Dan Steele One can dream cant they? Sam Morris Yeah, one can. I’d rather spend my resources trying to forget that Ratchet QForce on the Vita ever existed. Macedon Terrible news for a fan who has loved Insomniac and all their beautiful games on the Playstation systems. I even bought Fuse with the average reviews and manydispleased people just so I could support Insomniac. But why should I be loyal to Insomniac and support their games when they obviously don’t care about their true fans. Travis Hughes ” But as the Microsoft team began introducing us to the abilities and philosophies driving the development of Xbox One, we knew that Sunset Overdrive was a perfect fit. The Xbox One and Xbox Live will support our ambitions to create an ongoing two-way dialogue with our community. It will also allow us to have quicker production cycles, enabling timely content updates for new weapons, characters, storylines and even pop culture-relevant content like memes based on social commentary.” I read this as: “They gave us shit-tons of money, so we agreed to make an exclusive for their console.” Tell me I’m wrong? NightRiven I don’t think you’re wrong. The reason? It makes zero sense to begin making a console exclusive game like this, when you’ve only just released your first multiplatform game, which got averagereviews, and almost all of your fanbase is on PS3 and is not likely to buy the Xbox One, so you gotta build a whole new fanbase to even sell anything. Besides many of those who will buy an Xbox do it because of other more well known games, and a new IP like this couldn’t possibly sell well enough to make any profit. At least that is what i think. So when using my logic, the only way Insomniac would profit from making this exclusive to the Xbox One is if Microsoft paid the enough to pay for almost all of their development costs, so it wouldn’t be too much of a loss if the game didn’t sell well. Makes sense right? mrcawp Bingo. And I guess I understand. From Ted Price’s POV, paying the bills is his first duty – making sure his staff don’t lose their jobs. MS must have given them so much money that even the chance of a greater success on PS4 wouldn’t matter. A chance of some money versus a guarantee. mrcawp Still sucks. And is a shitty thing to do in this day and age, when fan loyalty iscrazily difficult to generate and so very, very precious. This will kill a large amount of love for Insomniac. (If the strangely amateurish FUSE and last two NC Ratchets haven’t already.) Travis Hughes Exactly my point. There’s no reason for them to shoulder this kind of risk without Microsoft having given them some sort of guarantee. It’s like when Quantic Dream decided to have Heavy Rain be a PS3 exclusive when originally it was meant to be multiplatform like Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit); Sony offered to pay all of the development, marketing, and distribution costs so that QD wouldn’t be on the hook for any of it. Redfrog Games “Define Your audience, if you can define your audience you will have a better chance at doing one thing better than anyone else and making sure that fun comes first” -Ted Price If you can reply to me Ted, the game you are making looks like something very creative, and if I am correct in making this assumption how are going to access the needed audience on aConsole that likes hardcore shooters. Again I really hope you do well with this game. I just hope that there are games waiting for me at PS4 gambolingman Insomniac just stabbed a knife in my back and then fired a black hole from its fuse weapon to trap me into an eternal pit of darkness for which my childhood is now trapped in… Still getting a PS4. RIP New Insomniac IPs on PS4 Still getting the new R and C when that comes out in 2015 though NightRiven U do know they’ve only confirmed the new R&C to be a movie right? However it’s a good guess to say there will be a new game along with it. novanis But it would make sense to make it as a promotion for a new game or tie-in. Max Arnott I have played and loved every Insomniac game since I started on Spyro, and it’s sad that you have decided to treat your fans this way. Given the inside information you must have had whilst developing the game, you must have known that an awful lot of people, including most your fans, would steer away from theXbone for a variety of reasons, and I wouldn’t mind if it was multiplat but now most of your longest fans won’t be able to play this game which is a shame since it looks very good. But hey, I can’t say I wouldn’t have sold out if that kind of money was up for the taking. Shaik Bajunid Ted, I’ve owned all Insomniac games since PS1 era and sometimes I bought them twice (like the HD remakes and also the digital downloads of PS1 Spyro games). I love Insomniac even when I don’t really like Fuse and even when I hate Facebook games I still gave your game a try. I’m okay if you go multiplatform since that’a the way most people go these days (look at Kojima Prod. for example). But to go exclusive with Microsoft? That’s it…it’s the end of the line. I’ll be unsubscribing to your podcasts and newsletters and etc just to show my dissatisfaction. It’s a shame really. Now I can’t play your games anymore since I can only afford to have one console and will most probably go with PS4. Louise Insomniac =since Disruptor, but this new game as much as I d like to try it, does not merit the purchase of a $499 cable box. I will be patiently waiting for your next MultiPlat or exclusive(doubt it) project when ever if ever happens. Just really got to point out how mind boggling this was to me, abandon Playstation in such fashion? it is what it is I guess. It’s just one exclusive game. Could always be more that are either playstation only or cross platform. Courtney Gears They are desperate for money! Sad but true… Would you betray your childhood friends for income? cell989 tough question, but my friends would surely help me out in harsh times, just like we fans could have with Insomniac Jonathan Abbey Good luck with it, see you for whatever you produce on PS4. Aristides Sorry guys, you’re great developers but really good luck establishing a brand new fanbase over at MS. The great majority of your fanbase is the Playstation Hardcore, myself included and well we’re not planning on supporting MSany time soon. Anthony Hall If its Xbox one exclusive T_T Ima miss you guys. Ratchet and clank, resistance, spyro, you guys was the best. I understand that you guys make multi platform games but that never restricted me this time it does. Welp T_T good luck in life and your business. PS4 FTW . klyonawesome I’m sure there’s some reason behind this exclusivity you can’t publicly say, but it truly saddens me to see this game only on Xbox One. If this were an Xbox 360 exclusive I would buy it in a heart beat because I love the games you’ve made and continue to make. The 360/PS3 have been out for so long, have become more affordable and have such a large install base I would understand if this were a 360 game. Because the Xbox One is 499 dollars, I assume a similar price for the PS4. Because of this I won’t be able to own both for many years, if ever. I would think based on previous comments this applies for many other people as well. You’re truly shutting out the fans that made you whatyou are today. If you think otherwise you’re foolish. I understand multi-platform, you’ve earned that. It’s not not a matter of entitlement, it’s the matter of 500 dollars. My 500 dollars is going to Sony because they’ve supported games from developers like Insomniac for a long time. Wish I could play, but not now, maybe not ever. Thanks. cell989 mind you it will only be 400 WITH ps4 klyonawesome True I wrote this before the announcement. I’m actually starting to feel bad about he amount of backlash their getting. I’m also concerned that Xbox gamers have a bad taste in their mouth from FUSE. Hopefully it sells well, I just don’t think it will. Courtney Gears I’m so disapointed… My favorite company became the biggest backstabber ever! Durodes Duvo ….. Yes, I know you guys are independent and all, but how much did Microsoft pay you? merlotc Looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to it. DuckDude The announcement that S.O. will be XBOX exclusive puts me in the awkward position of havingto choose between the two companies whose games I grew up playing: Sucker Punch and, of course, Insomniac. Barring some amazing news regarding the prices of the new consoles or XBOX’s other exclusives, I think I’m going to go with SP. Which is a shame, because SO looks like it could be fun (assuming I ever got an internet connection stable enough to let me play online games.) I can understand that Insomniac is trying to find itself, trying to follow up on its past successes, trying to break new ground with a new hit, and that such experimentation will lead to less polish, and occasional stumbles. I wish you luck on that, and when you make something catches my attention (and that I’m able to get), I’ll be sure to get it. But for the moment, I’ll stick with the well-written, story-driven, single-player games that made me a gamer. Multiplayer has never been my thing (admittedly largely due to the aforementioned connection issues). Best of luck for your continuing journey, I hope to seeyou guys again, someday. I say go with Sucker Punch, and hope that Insominac’s next Playstation game comes out soon. Giba Hoffmann Guile @dividebyzero from below: Sorry I was away for most of the day. Anywya here is my response about you asking if I thought the PS4 was the lowest common denominator regarding ports: Where did I infer that? If you were around for the Sega Saturn days you would know that some things Saturn excelled at and some things playstation excelled at. When games were tailo made for the systems (Sega Rally, Castlevania, Guardian Heroes, Metal Gear, etc.) they really shined. XBox One’s DDR3 memory does better with smaller textures and some supposed online processing whereas PS4 will probably do better in different areas. cell989 I dont think so, the fact remains PS4’s Ram is leaps and bounds better than XBONES Guile Both systems have strengths and weaknesses. If both systems do well and stay close, then gamers win. Sony will try harder and vice versa if it’s a closerace this next generation. PS4 actually pulled something really impressive off this generation. Not only are they the most powerful of the 3 consoles, but they’re the easiest to work with and have no odd wrinkles in their hardware. Xbox One is almost as easy, but it has that quirky ESRam which is tougher to work with, and is only about 66% as powerful. Even if you optimize for the XB One, it’ll be hard to come close to the performance of a lazy port of the same game on PS4. Their only hope to reach parity is that cloud computing thing, and it’s going to be laggy and troublesome for most of the country. This is an reversal of the PS3 and 360 situation, only the Xbox is in worse shape than the PS3 was. Guile Well I would say it’s early to say they already accomplished this. And it can be debated whether their system is the most powerful ( a lot of other factors come in to play like first party developers sharing their program libraries and system tricks early in the life cycle withsecond and third party developers. They don’t have a history of being the easiest to work right out of the gate in that regard. I don’t know where you got that 66% number; one can argue that DDR5 ram is more error prone (and you can further conjecture this was the cause of the multiple freezes of their games during the conference) and that DDR3 ram is better for more numerous smaller textures. I’m sure both systems have their strengths and weaknesses. Which brings me back to my main point: I wish most consumers recognized and commended developers on tailor making certain games for certain systems and harnessing the strengths specific to that system. Examples Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, Princess Crown, Nights into Dreams, Metal Gear Solid, Mario Kart, Sega Rally, Tekken, etc. etc. (specific games tailor made for specific system strengths. That’s just my opinion. If Insomniac wants to make a game that takes advantage of a certain system’s strengths, why should be not encourage them? Ifeel bad that not everyone can afford all systems and play all exclusives but brand loyalty makes me laugh. It’s competition after all that will make both companies raise their game. Just look at the lack of evolution that is Madden to see what happens when there is a lack of competition. 66% comes from the fact that the Xbox One has 12 GPU compute units, while the PS4 has 18 GPU Compute units of the same generation. The multiple freezes of games is most likely due to them using prototype dev kit hardware for the presentation, and because of early production software. The actual PS4 hardware in the shell was brand new, and there weren’t enough of them to use for all of the demonstrations at the conference. Ted Price can attest to the problems of running early demo software at a conference. He mentioned on one of the Full Moon Show episodes how Resistance 2’s demo at an E3 had a bug in it that required him to get through a particular section quickly on the game would crash. GDDR5 is notinherently more error prone despite what many MS FUD artists have been putting forth. The only way DDR3 is any better is when you’re using ECC memory, which doesn’t seem to be the case for the XBox One. (ECC is generally only used in servers where a bit error could mean serious problems with financial transactions and the like.) GDDR5 is used for serious calculations every day now that OpenCL GPU computation has taken the supercomputer market by storm. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from 25 years in the computer industry, it’s that when someone is competing against Microsoft, you can never trust any negative information about them in the press as it’s most likely their attempt to sow Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in the press and consumers. That’s how they’ve killed so many of their technologically superior competitors over the years, from the Amiga, to WordPerfect, to OS/2, and many others. The only thing that I can imagine the Xbox 1 being better in would be motion gaming, voicecontrols, and TV Overlays. It’s significantly less powerful, has significantly lower memory bandwidth, less memory available for games, and it doesn’t have a dedicated unit for video compression. It’s using virtualization to do most of its fancy features, which means the system will be even slower still than running on bare hardware, and they’re going to need to reserve computing capacity for the OS. They’ve already said they’re reserving 3 gigs of memory, they haven’t told us how many of the 8 CPU cores are being peeled off from games and reserved for the OS, nor how many of its 12 GPU CU’s will be dedicated to the OS. It’s also going to be harder to develop for because of its ESRam buffer that you’ll have to use if you want quick access to anything from the GPU. The PS4 has 2 more gigs available for games, as well as having a separate processor handling the background downloads and video compression so that the APU is dedicated to the game. Guile Hmm my message disappeared or gotdeleted; I’ll retype my response. If you compare the gpus and ram specs/usage solely then yes, the ps4 definitely edges out the processing power of the Xbox one. However, the hardware is always half the equation. A big part of the answer lies in the software developers and their skill. If developers harness the power of the 32 gb high speed sram and/or utilize cloud computing in an effective way (perhaps to do non realtime processing like lighting, volumetric fog, off screen simulation for sandbox games or mmos) then there is a possibility that some games on xbox one may be perceived as having more “power”. In addition, combining accessories such as the oculus Rift and Kinect 2.0 can probably produce some really interesting stuff (the mind boggles if you thing about a first person soul calibur/jedi lightsaber game or head tracking mech multiplayer battles). Xbox one has a lot of potential (most notably their networking backbone advantage). My original point – from which I’m, strayingtoo far from when talking about metrics – is that I miss the days when developers were patted on their backs for tailor making games specifically for certain hardware with a game plan to harness that system’s strengths. We shouldn’t tear them down for that. I agree that it’s sad that in this economy not everyone can afford both systems and enjoy the cream of the crop regardless of where it lands. But to be negative because one’s purchasing choices are limited seems petty to me. The other point that a lot of people seem to forget is that when there is close competition, there is a lot of evolution and society/consumers reap the benefits. Nintendo and Sega needed each other to push the envelope. IOS needs Android to keep a fire under them Sony needs Microsoft (and vice versa). Without competition, evolution and innovations lags (see Madden). I think your other comment was awaiting moderation. The cloud processing isn’t an exclusive feature of the Xbox One. It’s something that any systemcould do as long as it had an internet connection. It’s also a feature that the PS3 was supposed to have had back when it was first demoed, and a feature that didn’t pan out for various reasons (like it was too hard to use, there weren’t enough systems for people to use it with, etc.) Back then it was called “Cell” processing that would utilize many cell processors all networked together, locally and through the internet. Sony could probably get by just with Nintendo, PC, Android, and iOS as their competitors and still keep pushing forward. Even that 32mb (not gb) of ESRam is not going to be as fast as the 8gb of GDDR5 ram on the PS4. I think the figures were 166gb/s transfer to and from that 32mb, compared to 176gb/s for the PS4’s main ram. That also adds more complication and difficulties for the developers, just like the cloud computing thing does. The Xbox One is the PS3 of this generation in making life harder for developers, and thus ports to that system will be inferior. Unlikethe PS3, it’s significantly worse off than its competitor so that even highly optimized games won’t be better on it. With the PS3, you had more overall processing power, but it required a precise mix of compute loads to make full use of it. There were separate specialized shaders in the PS3 vs. general purpose shaders on 360. That meant if you were using all of one type, or all of the other type, the 360 was the faster system hands down. In this case, they’re using the exact same type of GPU cores, but one system just has 33% fewer of them. No way to optimize it in such a way to make the game better. Similarly, you needed compute loads that could be split up 7 ways to maximize the PS3 CPU, if you didn’t have that many separate threads running at full capacity, you had less power available to you than on the 360. This time they have the same CPU, but part of that CPU will be carved off and dedicated to the OS, and some of the rest will be slowed down by the virtualization involved.There’s no way to optimize it so that it will be faster than the PS4, because it’s just a cut down version of the same hardware. It doesn’t even save them money to have cut down the GPU cores because their dies are still pretty much the same size due to the ESRam. Heck, if MS doesn’t have redundant fuse-able components on their chip, their silicon may even be more expensive than the PS4’s APU. Still, the one strength that they have is the Kinect now that it has its own processor. Any camera based stuff on the PS4 will need to use the system’s CPU and GPU, and that will slow it down. There’s the force feedback on the triggers, which isn’t a bad idea. There’s also that HDMI input port that might find some use for a game. I can’t think of any other concrete advantage that couldn’t be replicated on the PS4 hardware. Guile Thanks for clarifying (re:moderation). But unless Microsoft is lying about the 300,00 servers they have at the ready, I see an infrastructure there to take advantage ofcloud computing to some degree out of the gate and more significantly down the line – especially for persistent games. Sony may have had the theory to do this, but they have always been a step behind with their network infrastructure and unless they get a large infusion of cash or enormous amount of psn+ subscribers, I don’t expect this to change – I could be wrong but I doubt it. In the next several years, I hope the broadband availability and speeds and latencies continue to improve to further bring the potential of remote/distributed/cloud computing along. As far as unique experiences, what Remedy is doing with their episodic games/seasons using digital body doubles for multipple branchign story lines and leveraging the multimedia strengths of the system to tell immersive stories seems interesting. If the Walking Dead games had this tech I think it would be pretty cool. Remedy has a strong enough pedigree that I’m willing to give them a chance to produce something better than nighttrap. Anyway, we’ll have to agree to disagree on the weapons Xbox can bring until we see the proof from the developers in the first few years. I assume you agree with my main two points (competition and commending developer focus to extract the maximum out of specific hardware). by the way, thanks for the civil and informative discussion/debate/discourse! You are well informed and astute when it comes to the technical aspects and metrics. Yeah, this has been one of the more interesting and civil discussions I’ve had on consoles specs. Thanks! The thing is, they’re just talking about their Azure cloud in general, which wasn’t made for gaming but rather just general purpose cloud computing. You could drop in the Amazon libraries into the PS4 and have a(n arguably larger) similar cloud from them. There’s also IBM, Rackspace, and many other companies that provide similar services. There’s really nothing special about Azure aside from the vertical integration aspect (locking devs in withthe SDK,) and the fact that MS has already abandoned their broadband challenged consumers which means you can be more reliant on the connection being there for the audience that remains. I certainly agree about getting the most of the hardware, it’s just that I don’t a whole lot they can squeeze out of the Xbox One that couldn’t also be done on the PS4. It’s different if you have similarly powerful but different hardware like the last gen. Instead, we have similar hardware that is differently scaled. I’m interested to see if they manage to do anything that isn’t being done on the PS4 by the time it’s released. Tyler Brogna Insomniac, I’m still with you. I’ve played every one of your games. I defended Fuse at the second reveal. Ratchet & Clank has inspired me to go to school, learn programming, and become a game developer (looking for internship!). Resistance 3 was a triumph, and Up Your Arsenal was perfect. I think you can take any game and make it magical, this one included. But forphilosophical reasons, I will not be able to play this game. It looks creative and exciting and everything I’ve ever wanted from your top studio, but I won’t be buying an Xbox one. I will buy the game, support you, cuz you’re the best game developer ever, but I cannot play it. I’ll see you next time! dapoktan Haha.. rough fans here Ted.. dont worry.. I’ll be looking forward to some new Ratchet and Clank adventures in the future!… I’ll simply have to hope that Sunset Overdrive hits PC’s at least sometime.. cuz that game looks great! Will Baer Sorry, but like many here you have lost me as a fan. It’s not just this, ever since you announced you were going multi-platform you’ve released a couple mediocre R&Cs, the underwhelming Fuse, and now you finally announce a game that would have me excited again, but it is only on XBox? All the other game companies I have grown to love are on Sony’s more impressive, less restrictive, cheaper console. I’m not gonna miss whatever Naughty Dog puts outand so really the only battle will take place in North America (from what I can tell). I think this game needs more Mark Cerny. Oh, wait… Michael Jones I’m not mad at Insomniac for making a business decision and trying something new. If stabbing your core in the back is your thing, then XBone is where you belong anyway. Because that’s what Microsoft did with their over-priced, intrusive DRM infected, game playing cable box. Congratulations, your game will never be passed down to sons, younger siblings, or friends to fall in love with your company or new franchise. I shot my son my old copy of RnC, and he has basically demanded every other RnC title all the way up to FFA. This scenario will not be played out with this game for many years to come. My 4 year old did the same thing with R&C. He’s deaf, so his sign for the games was “airplane” because of the loading screens between planets. He doesn’t play it though, just watches me play it. We’ve done 1-3 together already. I should go andreplay Deadlocked so he can watch that one. cell989 you know what, you bring a really good point, I dont have kids of my own, but all my little nephews and nieces are in love with Ratchet and Clank because I introduced them to the game Battalia I’ve loved all your games (minus fuze and SO, havn’t played them yet) but I agree, something feels empty from you guys recently. You weren’t world renown for making smooth and flawless games, you were known for how alive and vibrant and connected those worlds felt. You say you are an independent developer and I think that is great, and you shouldn’t be chained down by any one console or company, but I don’t think your “partnerships” are doing you any justice either. I don’t know if it is a cost saving decision or just a way to offload some of the work, but if it isn’t broken… I hope SO is well received on the Xbone but I don’t think I will get the opportunity to enjoy it. Enjoy the used game revenue Durodes Duvo Ted Price. I’ve always seen youas a cool guy, even when you were doing FUSE. You said that by going multi-platform, you hoped to reach more gamers, now this. What the hell. Come clean, Price… tell us the real reason you guys have basically stabbed Sony fans in the back… this is downright adulteration for people who have already decided to buy a PS4 this holiday. *Sigh* I know you’ve been getting a lot of hate lately, but this time, it’s justified. God. jryi I was quite surprised to see Ted in Microsoft press event. The whole evening was quite underwhelming, like Adam Sessler said, except for a couple of points. As a long time Ratchet&Clank fan it was curious to see Insomniac on stage. The game looked fun. Unfortunately I am against Microsoft’s DRM policy, and there’s rather a lot of speculation about the hardware being sub par, so I’ll pass the console for a couple of years, at least. If it manages to survive its particular RROD phase, I may consider picking it up, and at that point I’ll probably remember SunsetOverdrive, as well. But, as you can see, I’ll be skipping this for now. Sorry ’bout that. Steven Left4Dead mirror’s edge insomniac = sunset overdrive Doesn’t look half bad I’ll be sure to keep my eye on this Jorge Manuel Coelho I’ve been a fan of Insomniac since the beginning. Sad that you are now working just for Microsoft… Aaron Kelly Guys… I really don’t have anything to say except I am disappointed… You pumped out so many great games in the past and I swallowed up every one of them… but now you’ve just stabbed us all in the back… I’ll be waiting until you return to your former glory… or IF you return that is.. until then guys.. good luck. Josh M At this point I’m more angry that IG is lying to us by saying they are doing this for the fans and because the xbone has the capabilities they need for the game. Their fans are o HB PlayStation and they know it. As for the system, well from what I can tell the PS4 seems better. So by all means make a game exclusively for the xbone,that’s fine, but don’t lientonyour loyal fans in the process. Give us the truth… Hynad Worse in this is that he talks about being transparent, yet he lies throughout this while trying to sugar coat the message. The truth is that MS gave them a paycheck they just couldn’t refuse. Integrity, when you hold them… not. Tim Price, you need to recheck your definition of “being transparent”. People are not as gullible as you think. Your message here is an insult to everyone. edgar if it’s xbox one exclusive you will lose sales. Mine specifically. RobB As a PlayStation gamer, if Insomniac had decided to make an Xbox 360 exclusive title then I would have been annoyed, but I would have accepted it without complaining. However producing an Xbox One exclusive is extremely disappointing, not because I won’t be able to play it (though of course that is also the case), but because the policies of the Xbox One with regards to things like online check-ins and used game restrictions are so dreadful forconsumers and potentially damaging for the future of the industry that Insomniac (a company I normally respect and admire) apparently supporting them is extremely saddening to see. This sentence in particular: “But as the Microsoft team began introducing us to the abilities and philosophies driving the development of Xbox One, we knew that Sunset Overdrive was a perfect fit” is deeply worrying. If you’d said “Microsoft offered us a good financial deal in return for an exclusive title” then it would have perhaps appeared disappointingly mercenary, but I’d rather see Insomniac make some poor decisions to stay in business than to disappear completely as so many high quality studios have in recent times. However to me the core “philosophies” of the Xbox One are the erosion of basic consumer rights and a lack of respect to people with poor (or non-existent) Internet connections and if Insomniac honestly find those to be a “perfect fit” to any of their titles then that gives a very negativeimpression of how you see your customers and fans. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of hyperbolic statements about how you’ve “betrayed” people or saying that they’ll never buy your games again, but that’s not how I feel. I look forward to seeing Insomniac working on PlayStation in the future, but I would be lying if I said that my positive view of the company has not been seriously damaged by this news and I cannot in good faith wish you luck with this new partnership. Durodes Duvo I always had Insomniac’s side, ALWAYS. Until now. The discontent is TRULY justified this time. Hacker2021 . Insomniac, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You keep going on about being independent and controlling your own franchises, and in the process you disregard the people who actually want to play your games. You messed up. Andrew I must say this is a sad and dreary article for me to read that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I’m not sure how you could be “doing this for our fans” when you are releasing itexclusively on the console of a company that you have released ONE game prior. I have loved your games, but the exclusivity of one of your titles will not sway me to purchase an xbox one. I do hope, should you ever deign to work with your “friends” at sony, that you will show the legions of fans you are currently turning your back on how much you supposedly value us. Durodes Duvo I’ve never been so disappointed in a developer… I can’t even put it into words! Dave Jowen Very sad that I won’t be able to play your game, the Xbox One is not for ‘gamers’ but rather the extremely casual crowd.. Oh well. RenegadeRocks Xbone is against consumer rights ! I abandoned it the day they announced the DRM checks. Sorr yo tell you Ted, I am a gamer who owns his games. I won’t be playing your game, and its not my fault. Will miss you guys terribly cos you were my inspiration behind my game desing career. My ehtics won’t let me bow to those Draconian DRms Former Insomniac Fan Agree with Hacker2021“Insomniac, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You keep going on about being independent and controlling your own franchises, and in the process you disregard the people who actually want to play your games. You messed up.” Probably all about the money. mike I have a feeling you will find your stream to be hostile. Also this is what we think: ……. | Former Insomniac Fan Sounds like EA really didn’t get on well with you guys. That’s a shame. Something else EA has ruined for the world… kaoz disappointed but oh well. hopefully a game that is on ps4 as well isnt that far off Guest Sounds like EA really didn’t get on well with you guys. That’s a shame. Something else EA has ruined for the world… Anthony I add my disappointment to everyone else here. As someone else said I could understand you going with a 360 exclusive, I could understand you going for the money that Microsoft would pay but I can’t understand you wanting to tie yourself to Microsoft’s current philosophy which is rightlyreceiving everything it deserves. This isn’t just its anti consumer policies but also its policies which will hurt independent developers. I’m sure you have herd of the triple bottom line. Consumers have expectations which aren’t just about price anymore. Ethics are important too and in this case its ethics about the way Microsoft treats consumers and the small studios BTW I learned about Ratchet and Clank because I played it at a friends house, I also bought my first R&C second hand. Because of that experience I bought every R&C game you have produced, I bought a PS3 just to buy more R&C games but I wont be buying the new Xbox for this game because I care about consumer rights and I will have to think twice about even buying your next PS34 games when you finally produce them because of your support for Microsoft’s polices Artboy The issue I’ve got is you picked a system that is happy to tell us what to do with our product, a product that’ll cost me £429 or $671. And their message hasbeen “Why live there” “Backwards compatibility is for the backward” “want to play offline, buy a 360” You made that business decision. And like my now enforced boycott of MS, any dev that wants to go exclusive on a system like that, I cant support.I’d morally feel wrong putting any of money into that kind of ecosystem. Disappointed in Insomniac. First Fuse, and now a game exclusive to a platform that your core audience does not want to support. At what point did you start listening to the suits and not to your fans? CEP I gotta say, Sunset Overdrive looks to be the most interesting new ip Insomniac has done sine Ratchet in 2002. The game looks beautiful, that’s what I want from my Insomniac experience; lots of charm and unique visuals, also cool guns. Best of luck with the title guys and though I am not yet convinced on XB1 I am sure the title will find a thriving community for it. OneManLaptop This situation reminds me somewhat of Hello Games’ Joe Danger release on PS3. It launched tomuch fanfare and was highly regarded as a great PSN exclusive. Then came the 360 port. The Playstation faithful who had championed Hello Games as a great example of Indie developers doing well on Playstation, generally felt that their goodwill had been misplaced. Whilst Joe Danger did very little for Xbox, it was a blow for Playstation fans, and I think the disparity in sales speaks to that. By the time the sequel was released, the damage had been done and based on leader board activity around launch, it was clear that Playstation fans had largely turned their back on both franchise and developer. Ted, if people are angry, it’s generally not because they don’t respect your desire to remain independent, control your own IP or even enjoy success outside of Playstation, it’s because we are disappointed that a developer we cherish and who is so linked to the Playstation brand, has chosen to bring their content to a platform many of us don’t support, and in light of the recent DRMannouncements, don’t want to have anything to do with. For the past 15 years, Insomniac have been a prized Sony developer and you have cultivated a fan base amongst Playstation fans, many of whom are fans – perhaps unfairly – of Playstation Developer: Insomniac Games, and not: Insomniac Games. Being involved with the creation of my own comic book, I fully appreciate the desire to own your IP and to be able to step away from the sandbox of publisher mandates, but in my opinion, the Insomniac brand was/is too ingrained with Playstation to be able to not only step away from that association, but to actually go a step further, and release a game exclusively on ‘the’ rival platform. I’ve always loved Insomniac games, I have a room full of R&C merchandise and I rated Resistance 3 my 2011 game of the year, so when you put out a game for PS4, I’ll be there, but to know that – as a Playstation fan – I’m locked out of playing Sunset Overdrive, (one of the best looking games of E3) well thatstings. Maybe the best way to take this backlash is not as the bare faced hate which much of it must come across as, but as a sign of how much you were valued on Playstation. All The Best! DeeBG I didn’t know that part of Hello Games’ history. Heh, I only have Joe Danger 2 because it was free for PS+ members at one point. Joe Noooo Insomniac you were the chosen one! it was said you would destroy Microsoft not join them! I loved you… :'( Giba Hoffmann LOL, this is the winner!! spoonikle Its ok, we still love you guys. Sunset Overdrive looks amazing. Yet I think Microsoft Pulled the wool over your eyes with a wad of money if you think that Xbone would help you better realize your creative vision. I think this generation is going to be the first where I dont own all the major consoles. DeeBG Same. I think I’ll be rolling PS4/Vita (and of course PC) only from the looks of it. The Wii U is interesting and has/will have some titles that I’m sure I would enjoy, but I’m not interested enoughto invest (this is about the only thing I miss about dorm room life; if you couldn’t find a console/game to play in one of the common areas, it was likely that someone in your dorm did and would like to play for a bit). Same with the 3DS, some really amazing games from some of my favorite developers, however when they didn’t add a second “circle pad” and just did the XL move, it was a disappointment; I still might break down and buy a used handheld some day (esp. if they can work out a flash cart system =p). As far as Xbox One (that name still bugs me since I still have a chipped Xbox hooked up to my entertainment center, although I don’t think it’s been turned on in a couple years), the pre-E3 press conference was enough to turn me off. I’m sure it will have great titles, some exclusive and maybe I’ll get a chance to play them one day, but not in the foreseeable future. Also I’m not saying that PSN is free from idiots/hackers/annoying kids/etc, but I never felt part of the XboxCommunity like I do with Playstation, and I think a year of attempting to put up with other users over Xbox Live didn’t help. Durodes Duvo Insomniac needs the Microsoft money to stay in the business, that’s all you had to say, Price. EMT0 Methinks MS money blinded you. Saying that you don’t want to be exclusive anymore, then jumping into Microsoft’s bed? Really? Jessica Ted Price you son of a biitch! How dare you switch from PlayStation to Microsoft?! You Obviously dont care about the millions of fans on the PlayStation side ,but you seem to like the few thousand gamers on the MS side. Go ahead and join the dumb MS family ,and i hope you miss the PlayStation Family…cause your no longer apart of it. You shouldn’t be name calling people like that. It’s best to stick to addressing the concerns involved. They’ll be more likely to take you seriously if you do that… I think if they’re welcome back is more a matter for them and Sony to discuss, rather than us. Jessica I think sony would seewhat they did as a slap in the face. Don’t forget they were supported by sony for 2 decades. Go listen to Podcast Beyond’s E3 episode. They ask Shuhei Yoshida about Insomniac. He’s obviously not burning any bridges in his answers. Jessica Ted price…You bring shame to the world of gaming. kylebarrett Dear Ted, I just wish you guys had gone in a different direction… You staffed up, and became capable of multiple AAA developments. And now you’re part of that AAA ecosystem, where you’re creating games for the sake of it. Not because anyone wants them. Who was FUSE for? Why does this game exist? It’s all for you. They are to ‘broaden’ your audience. They are to pursue independence. They are to own your big IP. They are strategic pieces of software. (Heck… Who was Resistance 2, and those ridiculous Ratchet spinoffs for? It doesn’t feel like it was for your fans. I loved R:FoM, I drew fanart.) I just dream of the day you guys wake up, and go Double Fine. Ton’s of smaller 3D titles, andbrowser stuff. Who cares if you don’t retain talent, cut your overheads. Keep the people who enjoy the small quick turnaround. Let your creative people take small creative risks. Stop relying on this stupid fan-based identity. Because there’s not much left anyway. Stop being part of the AAA problem, creating titles for the sake of it. Anyway, what do I know? Have fun guys, hope this game keeps the studio going. FUSE was for EA’s favorite market to try and usurp, the Call of Duty people. It was focus tested for such… Insomniac obviously started making it for their traditional audience and was swayed by the focus tests to change it. (The audience CoD is for? Those who are trying to be so adult and so mature that they consider humor beneath them and something that only kids want.) Resistance 2 wasn’t a terrible game, but wasn’t their best game either. Not all the spinoffs were bad. I thought Quest for Booty was quite good. kylebarrett Well then FUSE was not for fans. They need to stoprelying on that conceit. If they want to create games for themselves, they need to do smaller games. If they want to create games that are financially viable they need to do smaller titles. Anyway, I wish them the best of luck with Overdrive. I don’t think I’ll be playing it. Kor3986 All i will say is that yes, this news has left me feeling a little heart broken, however this onl damages my view of the company ever so slightly. Hell, Sunset Overdrive is just about the only reason I would ever consider buying an xbox one. I only request two from Insomniac, 1st I request that we someday either see Sunset Overdrive one the ps4, or maybe even a new IP instead(though please give us a great single player campaign and make the multiplayer come second). And, more importantly, my 2nd request is that you don’t stop competing with, how I’ve always seen it, your brothers over at Naughty Dog. And if this a case where you need the cash in order to stay in business as I have heard then fine, it is anessesary evil and I hope to see more from you guys on the Playstation. I don’t care what anyone says, you guys will always be titans in my eyes and i hope you never have to close your doors. Curtis Latimer I have to concur with this statement I’ve always acknowledged and enjoyed the indirect rivalry from naughty dog and insomniac over the past 15 years, albeit of late its just been naughty dog consistently acing any insomniac effort. Picking up last of us tomorrow and most likely any future title they make, cant say as much for insomniac… Curtis Latimer Hey there Ted this is my first time commenting here but I’ve been following you guys since spyro and I’d just like to say please let me play this game, via pc or ps4 it looks kind od intersting. Why you would think all your fans suddenly only play xbox one is beyond me but hey you know best. Feels a littler bad as well since i brought all your ps3 titles personally. Juan Salas Well i was looking For a good reason to get a xbox one sothanks Insomniac i’m gonna enjoy playing Sunset Overdrive looks like a Fun amazing game cant wait UsedTolikeTedPrice:( I must be honest. I have supported Insomniac since the days of Spyro. But lately it seems that your focus is more on making money, than making quality. I can understand multiplatform development, on the grounds of reaching as many gamers/consumers as possible. But unless Sony has screwed you over in some respect, your fan base has been, and is firmly established on sony consoles. To make an exclusive title for another console is a cold slap in groin to many of your loyalist. I know hind sight is 20/20, but I must respectively disagree with your actions. I think this may be a regrettable decision in the long run. Fans are what drive your business. Fans make or break your games sales. So, why let them down? I, as well as millions of others, appreciated all the released ip’s you created on Sony consoles. But, as of now, you have begun to tarnish your image and make itstained with lackluster multiplatform games, and less then stellar exit with your latest ratchet and clank games, as well as resistance 3. I mean, it’s if you forgot who you make games for, instead of who is allowing you to publish it… Well, one day, maybe you will return to your developing greatness. I hope that’s some day soon. I used to respect the development team at insomniac, but I don’t even know who you are anymore. I hope the money you may, or may not, receive from fuse or sunset overdrive was worth it in the long run. If it isn’t, you can always chalk it up to always being an independently owned development studio for 19 years. Johnnyboi11 Hate to say it but Insomniac going from Sony Exclusive to Microsoft Exclusive reminds me of Factor 5. And we all know what happened there. Aaron Rocco Piniewski Done with you Insomniac. Bsneider I disagree with most people here. I’ve been a fan of Insomniac, as I grew up playing ratchet and clank on ps2. I’m completely ok with you guysmaking a game exclusively for Microsoft. Business like this is an integral part of the game industry, By making deals with new partners Insomniac will be able to pursue new types of games and grow as a company. That being said, why are all of your recent games shooters? you should go back to your platforming roots and make a new platformer ip like spyro or ratchet and clank for the xbox. I used to think you guys were ps2’s answer to gamecube’s mario. Voice O Reason Thank you guys. Thank you for the memories. Ratchet and Clank series was, and still is very dear to me. The humor, the story, the gameplay, the characters, the groovitron. I was really hoping to see what you guys could’ve done with the PS4 with it. I was hoping for another Resistance even (more like R1 though). I understand you guys wanted to expand, own your own IP. You guys said you wanted to “expand your audience”, and that’s what got me. Sure, Fuse didn’t work out well, but you tried to expand your audience putting it onmore platforms. But then you come out on stage Ted and announce an exclusive for the Xbox One? How is that “expanding your audience”. Now I have to say I feel like it’s all about the money for you guys. You can’t “expand your audience” by making an early title for a new console, and a console that’s getting torn apart right now by the gamers and mainstream media. One that was designed as a slap to consumers faces. Not cool. Anyways, thanks for the memories. I hope whoever carries on your baby for Sony (RnC) does the series justice for you guys, your fans, and RnC lovers everywhere. Upset Fan Upset and disappointed is all I can say. After the disaster of Overstrike or Fuse (or whatever the hell you want to call it now) I was anticipating the new game you guys were making, hoping it would be multiplatform so I could buy it, and so you could get more fans. However, no, instead you fucked every fan over, really, that’s what you did. OverStrike looked like a great game that I know I wouldface and you go back to Sony and try make some quick cash by dragging the R&C franchise through the dirt with games like FFA and All4one, Sony probably wont let you, yes Yoshida(Sony WWS President) is positive about your Xbone deal as “part of growing up” but Sony has so many eager studios willing to full your position. If Sony suddenly pulls the rug from under you its because Sanzaru, Sony BEND or Ready at DAWN are now developing Ratchet and Clank or Resistance instead of you. Look what MS has done to their studios, Lionhead is ruined and Bungie PAYED Microsoft for their freedom. You have been warned! I will not be buying the Xbox One(you can guess why), however I hope Sunset Overdrive does well and I wish you guys the best of luck! The developers of Limbo, Castle Crashers, and Braid also apparently paid MS for their freedom too. cam Insomniac just alienated 99% of their fanbase. They can stay away now. I wont forgive them for this. SoliderPenguin You have betrayed all of your fans!though yes, the PS4 does have the slight edge. Maybe if Danny the fanboy had said, “The Xbox 360 is vastly inferior to the PS4.” I would completely agree. However, these two next gen systems, while different, are mostly in line. That’s not even to mention that practically, as in, for multiplatform games, we’re most likely not going to see any benefit from the PS4s slightly better hardware. Only in 1st party games. Again, I am 100% Sony, but Im also not an ignorant fanbot. David Wood Not quite the tiny difference you make it out to be, the PS4 is over half has powerful as the Xbox One, plus the Xbox One uses 3gb of ram for the operating system, as opposed to the PS4’s 1gb used. This will be significant, because it determines how much information the console can load at once (to put it simply), and a 2gb difference will be noticed. That coupled with the inferior CPU & GPU will make a difference. Kris Not one that will be noticeable for the end user. Again, this is an issue of semantics Iguess, but I still call for you and others who use similar descriptors and hyperbole to settle down with the fanboyism. You just sound ignorant when you spew one-sided comments all over boards. matthew tripoli I agree they might the differences wont be very noticble at first if at all but teir will come a point when the ps4 shines over the xbox one . I dotn think any games will use even 5gb of ram for awhile ut eventually it will happen and in ps4 case go beyond 5gbs . I suppose thats why microsoft scrammed for an answer with “the power of the cloud”. i like how they say games for xbox one will only be possible with the power of the cloud , games like titanfall , yet respawn dev already said the game is possible on ps4. matthew tripoli 100% sony yet you think the 360 is vastly inferior to the 360 b/c it was harder to develop for. Sounds like you are a xbox fan boy in disguise. By the way most experts say the ps4 has 40% more raw power. thats almost vastly. Kris How dare you! lol. PSNKMOSE734…playing the Last of Us right now, well, technically on a short break. Anyway, take the time to read what I wrote, because even though you made a typing mistake, I think you took it wrong. I said the XB360 was vastly inferior to the PS4. Now that comparison would allow me to qualify the PS4 as vastly superior, or that it “crushes the 360 in every way”. No arguing there. The PS4 is something like 16x more powerful than 360/PS3 depending on what you read. That’s a VAST difference. 50% is not vast when comparing PS4 to XB1, why? Because it won’t really mean clearly obvious differences between XB1 and PS4 multiplatform games. That’s not to say we should ignore that gap, but its not a difference that is going to really make much of a difference visually…again, with the exception of 1st party Sony titles. Anthony Hall multiplat games are normally made on the weaker and easier system then ported over. M$ probably also paid developers to make it on the xbox first so it would lookbetter. matthew tripoli the problem with that is the ps4 is the easier system to develop for this time around. First i heard microsoft paid to have the games made first. Some games looked better simply b/c the ps4 was hard to develop for, very hard. Most of the time you really most on the gpu to create a game . When it came to the ps3 You had to really heavily on the cpu and it was a strange knew cpu architecture that drove devs nuts Ippoletta Yes, we all know microsoft is rich and has money up the ass. but seriously shill, they dont do everything with their money ok. stop saying they pay people for every f*cking little thing. it’s getting really pathetic… matthew tripoli The last of us is awesome. I agree that its not going to be a huge different like ps4 compared to 360 or ps3 but 2 to 3 years in the new consoles are going to smoke the old ones n ways we cant imagine right now. That wont be the case with the ps4 and xbox one but the better specs , ease of development(might be moreimportant then the specs) should make a difference down the road. The fact that they are similar when it comes to architecture and ease of dev. may favor the ps4 when it comes to third party games b/c it should mean a ton more production costs to optimize the game for the ps4. I think that was mark cernys strategy when he decided he wanted the devs to be able to code to the hardware instead of having to be stuck with tool sets from the library. not all devs will take advantage of that but devs that do could look and play better on ps4. Think about it A developer is making a game for both systems . they have to use microsofts tool library for the xbox one but then with the ps4 they choose to create their own code, then you tie in the fact that many devs say its easier to develop for, that said game could turn out better on the ps4. If it does it wont be mind blowing or anything graphically but if it plays smoother i am all for that. Youhavebeenwarned No, I am not ignorant but I see whatyou mean. 68gb/s>102gb/s on Xbone 5 gigs DDR3 RAM vs 7 gigs GDDR5 176 gb/s on Ps4 18 CU cores on Ps4 vs 12 on Xbox One 1.23 teraflops on Xbox One with a Cboat a reliable insider who even tipped off Insomniacs deal with MS on Neogaf says they are underclocking the Xbox One by 200mhz vs 1.84 teraflops on the PS4. We do not know much about the CPU of both consoles but we know they are both 8 core with the Ps4’s one rumoured to be clocked around 400mhz faster. The hardware is notably better. They both share similar architectures so the difference will be apparent. matthew tripoli vastly superior is a bit much but it is the stronger console hardware wise amd sony has the insomniac fans. O dont think the money part is a bit much though. Probably right on point J. Well, this was uncalled for. That said, I’m still with Insomniac Games. When you come back home on the PlayStation, be sure that most of us will be there waiting for the next title from the studio we learned to love. All the best toyou guys. Shame I won’t be playing your next game, ’cause it looks awesome. Bank Alexander i actually understand why its exclusive. i dont see this as a sony game and im definitely not interested in it. the xbox market has noticeably different gamers. i believe only concentrating on the xbox one with this game is the only way to go for a small game like this. hope you come out with a big ratchet and clank for the ps4 later on insomniac matthew tripoli a small game liek this. wat makes you think its small. Also If anything tis game would be better as a sony exlusive b/c that is where most insomniac fans are. One word .Cash cam How can you understand why its exclusive? This game very easily could of been a PS4 game. Ted Price is just losing his mind. R&C FFA flopped, Fuse Flopped, now he is just getting crazy. Jordan I understand the business aspect when insomniac decided to go multi. I also understand that they are 100 percent independent, however the years of trust and fans theydeveloped over the years with Sony is something insomniac decided to risk. At face value it seems alright, but insomniac is risking alot as very few fans is gonna sympathize with them, especially since the quality of there titles haven’t been very good since their partnership with ea (including their recent r/c titles). I always considered insomniac to be a premiere developer in the likes of bungie and naughty dog, but the last couple of titles is unacceptable and top of it all they are putting there full effort on a platform with least amount of there fans are on. Multi is one thing exclusive is another im afraid, at least in the eyes of most of their fans. I say good luck to Mr. Price and the crew of insomniac, I wish nothing but the best,however ill be avoiding the platform they decided to release there game and probably skip their titles on playstation as well. Anthony After asking for feedback I wonder if we will see a response from Ted though I can’t of anything he could saywhich would fix this Kit Fowley Ted, the game looked absolutely stunning. Absolutely. Like Team Fortress 2 and Tank Girl got mixed together in a radioactive blender. Probably the best game I saw at all of e3! I’m sad that I’m not picking up an Xbox One, because of the game sharing thing and the online requirement and… Kinect, you know… Otherwise, this would be a system-seller I’m sure. But any way you publish this, I’m just glad that games this stylized and fun looking are being made, and I hope that everyone who does plan to get an Xbox One will pick it up. n.n Zephiroth You Sony fanboys mad? Insomniac, I can’t wait to play Sunset Overdrive on my Xbox One. Retroact1ve All 1800 of you? Well I hope they made enough kickback money from the xbox deal because 2k game sales just won’t cut it for a developer. boob I agree with Kit here. Sunset Overdrive captured my attention more than any other game in Microsoft’s ring. This is just a cinematic trailer, but the tight animation (wonderfulweight on the main guy), the colors, the fun vibe, the name, the song – it was all working and I have confidence that it reflects the end game accurately. Unfortunately, like others, I’m very much NOT in Microsoft’s camp in terms of what their new system offers/doesn’t offer and their general attitude toward their consumers. We’re not blind to the fact that exclusive deals are made to win “votes” (it’s an election year for consoles! Let the war begin! I love it!) but Microsoft has quite the attitude when in comes to their PR and business strategies. And in some regard, the developers and independent studios like yourself, lose gamers based on some of these decisions/statements. I know you know this. So my advice is to roll with the punches. Invest some of that sweet, exclusive Micorsoft $ into a new PS4 IP – ha! ;p Good luck to you and Sunset Overdrive! Lookin’ forward to great Insomniac things on PS4. Retroact1ve Retroact1ve • a minute ago − I seen this game on microsofts conf. I hatecartoonish games, normally. But the art in this and the shades of colour reminds me of smoking salvia 20x and the colours I’d see. It’s like surrealistic with a hint of cell shading. Love it. Having said that you chose the wrong horse to back. This game is not a console seller. I don’t think the xbone will have a console seller. How can you sell a console that all gamers I know personally are diametrically opposed to. Good luck with that though, Microsoft will have to con a lot of people as for me I think for myself and refused to be used an ad revenue stream, no thanks. matthew tripoli I am a huge insomniac fan but I feel like this was simply was about the money and this game could have been made for either system. If I am wrong about that I would love for someone to explain to me why the ps4 could not support a game like this . They have online gameplay they have social media and I dont see how xbox one will be able to make production faster. If the answer is power of the cloud or 24online check in then dont waste your time b/c the first one would probably make development longer and second one makes no sense b/c ps4 could connect ever 24hrs to just isnt required to by sony. when the word is that ps4 is easier to develop for. I hope insomniac does still make games for sony as i wont be getting a xbox one not even to play the game I liked most at e3 sunset overdrive. Joe_HTH ” when the word is that ps4 is easier to develop for” Straight up fanboy BS, since they both have the exact same x86 design. captcrunch88 I would have given you arguments but you wouldn’t believe it since you denied the person above. I would rather suggest you to go and check tech sites where they will explain it to you in detail without you being paranoid of fanboyism. direx From R&C I was there… on XBOne… I hate you:) direx BTW Spyro… awe… FU Insomniac, I hate You right now! direx FU direx For (all) of Us I hate You! Andrew Mack I had so much faith on insomniac that i was expecting the nextbadass R&C or something new for the PS4. but you went to microsoft. I’m sure you had your reason from a business point of view, but I fell betrayed until your next major PS title goodbye. Also I herd it was easier to develop on the PS4 than the Xbone so I don’t get the easy development thing. matthew tripoli nobody does. I am pretty sure its being read off a card microsnot gave them. also thats why it says production instead of development. curly.nige Thanks for the great games you have made for the ps3, jumped out of my sink lots. Of times paying resistance . I under stand you are spreading you wings to other consoles, can’t wait to see what you have to offer for the ps4 Thanks Savas I think your sales are gonna suck with Microsoft.. They already have failed in everyway… Good Luck “independent” from MS money Insomniac! You talk about your fans??? You have no freekin fans in xbox!!! Don’t bullshit us with all this crap! Microsoft payed well and thats it! oh! and FU!! Joe_HTH Do theworld a favor and get chemically castrated? The world is already filled with too much stupidity, and we don’t need the likes of you spreading your seed. “They already have failed in everyway” LOL! Is that why Microsoft makes 7 billion dollars a quarter in profit while Sony bleeds money from every orifice like it’s going out of style? In the dictionary under the definition of failure is a picture of Sony. Savas do you get payed from Microsoft or something to defend the console? Do you have any stocks from Microsoft? Don’t you have anything better to do? You wrote some million posts here… I only wrote a comment and you just keep writing to everyone. Buy your console man! Enjoy it! and lets everybody else be! Ippoletta I disagree fanboys like the sony trolls that keep leaving the same dramatic comments need to be exterminated, it seems some of them cant handle the truth either. lol they think thumbing me down will effect me. David “The Body” McVey Thanks for all the R&C games, loved themall. I hope your Xbone game doesn’t bomb too badly. cam Sorry insomniac, but this is the worst stunt you ever pulled. Goodbye. Joe_HTH Not nearly as bad as the idiotic and butthurt fanboy posts on this site. You people need to grow the hell up. Ippoletta I know can you believe this crap dude? ive never seen so many drama queens in my life. i left a nice comment for the majority of these losers because honestly that’s what they are. cam Just to answer something as truthful as possible: “Everyone here at Insomniac and on the Sunset Overdrive team at Microsoft is pumped to bring the game to you.” Yea, to us? Since 99% of the people here are buying PS4, that alienates us. So it looks like Insomniac is the next RARE. Got suckered into Microsoft. Shame. Lets see how long this scheme plays out. I 100% bet you money this game WILL flop. Emanuel Miranda I bought every Ratchet and Clank game, every resistance game, i been buying your games since the ps2 era, and this is how you repay your loyalDude shut up. If you don’t like what Microsoft is selling, don’t buy it. I susect you’re just another Sony shill. You’re not forced to use an Xbox One, so why are you so bent out of shape about it. Go buy a PS4 and be happy. Robert Masterson Not like some of us have a choice. Plenty of people want to like the next Xbox, but they cant even fuckin play on the damn thing due to their location. Only 21 supported countries and even then you could be in a part without hispeed internet. Wake up, tool. Not everyone is as privileged as you are. Ridiculous Zombie Oh and another thing shitbrain, we’re not fanboys… we’re merely expressing our disappointment that the game hasn’t come to the PS4. None of these comments would be here if the game was cross platform. So take your Micro$hite backing ass and go sit on Gates’ cock. captcrunch88 You sound very much like a Microsoft shill undercover of a fanboy. Robert Masterson “But as the Microsoft team began introducing us to the abilities andphilosophies driving the development of Xbox One, we knew that Sunset Overdrive was a perfect fit” So… how much money did they throw at you? Well, best of luck either way. You guys bet on the wrong horse and there’s now zero chance of me being tempted to buy this game.(sorry, but I am NOT going to buy an Xbox One after all their BS policies were made clear) Joe_HTH Nobody cares what you buy or use. So spare us the your purchasing decisions. Retroact1ve Yet in some of your other comments joe you talk about your windows 8 phone. You’re a hypocrite. By the way windows phones do suck. Had a friend at work just last night have me recharge his phone in my office. He told me it dies after only two hours, whether its full use or half use and sits in standby the rest of the time the battery just drains. Ive also messed around with his phone and the OS is schizophrenic. It feels unnatural and looks just as terrible. Windows 8 was a bust on many fronts, and you are shilling for it. There goes anycredibility you had calling other people ‘fanboys’ you have been fanning it up for any and all microsoft products. OnlyWar I’d rather have my integrity and self respect than a boatload of Microsofts money. Ted Price is the opposite. He stabbed his loyal fans in the back. He also lied about why Insomniac was going multi platform a few years back. I’ve lost all respect for Insomniac. Joe_HTH Oh Grow up you worthless fanboy. Insomniac is a business that employs people trying to feed their families. The fact that you’re incapable of removing your head from Sony’s butt, is not Ted or Insomniac’s problem. The game and concept looks great Ted. Looking forward to it just like Resistance and Ratchet and Clank. Ippoletta Amen Joe. some of these posts make me sick to my stomach. i’m glad i’m not the only one in here with common sense. Guest I’m sorry but you sony drones are sick in the head. and if i was ted. id tell you all to kiss my a**. you think he has to cater to you idiots? nope. hedecided to take Microsoft’s money and make a cool looking game. what the f**k is your problem? this man and the rest of his team has a family to take care of. you dumb asses act like it’s a crime to take money and make games for people. lol… i guess it’s because sony’s in debt, you shills act like making money is a bad thing. they’re a flipping company for Christ sakes. you should be glad Microsoft threw money at them so they can make more games. but i guess my ranting is pointless because this place is filled with a bunch of childish, rabid sony shills with no flipping morals. most of you should be ashamed of yourselves. they made how many games for sony???? and they make 1 little exclusive game for Microsoft and you people act like they killed your damn family members. i mean honestly… i’m so angry and appalled by all of the BS some of you so called insomniac fans are writing. are you people paying them to make this game? no… so why the f**k do you care who they make it for? it’snobodies damn business, they could have gone to Nintendo for all i care. are you people really that blind and childish? i swear sony fans are a bunch of flipping selfish hypocrites. loyal to a piece of freaking plastic and metal. i feel sorry for some of you. not just you drones, but all fanboys in general. to all that has a problem with what they are doing, you’re all pathetic… truly. and i dont give a damn what any of you ignorant shills have to say so dont bother. all of you pathetic children harped about how the xbox360 had no exclusives, and the freaking instant they get some sony kids are all angry and want them. but it pleases me to know this game or anything Microsoft publishes wont go to the PS4. and dont tell me about mass effect because EA bought the series. TL;DR go to h*ll. Rant over. … Joe_HTH You people are beyond pathetic. There are people dying in the world from war and starvation, and you idiots are going ballistic over a damn video game. You people need to get yourpriorities straight. Ted and Insomniac are doing what’s best for them. They don’t exist to cater to the whims of blind, pathetic fanboys too stupid to find their own backside. mipom If you care so much about starvation and war then what are you doing trolling a videogame comments section? captcrunch88 You are beyond pathetic to be bringing up this discussion in a gaming forum. The entire world has some problem, one or the other kind. This does not mean we all quit living our lives happily and mourn for the rest. Those who want a better life should help themselves rather than depending on others. People can relocate to next neighbourhood where there is water and start farming. This solves the hunger problem. captcrunch88 So basically what I got from this is that Sunset Overdrive is coming to PS4 later. Microsoft paid money to say that Xbox’s online feature helps constant upgrades (which means an always connected system btw). He seems to have ignored the fact that Sony’s PS4 is ascapable, or rather more capable, than the Xbox One. I bet that Sunset Overdrive is coming to PS4 later than Xbox One….. 100% sure. Actually, that’s incorrect. Insomniac is independent of both Sony and Microsoft and owned by nobody but Ted Price. They’ve had a long history with Sony platforms, but were never owned by Sony. They haven’t said anything at all about bringing SO to other platforms, just that they can make other games for other platforms. Retroact1ve Right but did the makers of TitanFall give out any information about their exclusive deal? No they never said it would come on anything other than PC or Xbone…. yet it got out that it was a timed exclusive, 1 year and that deal is over. It just stands to reason that TitanFall may see a release much later on PS4. However by then it would be played out as I will be using it on the PC. It just seems like a timed exclusive, but to me who cares because a company that sells out their original fanbase is sure to fail. Ratchet4ever Don’tbe so shure. Ippoletta Microsoft published and funded it, PS4 aint getting it. chamber25 Wish you guys no ill will but your decisions were just confusing. I totally respected the fact that you have guys wanted to go multi-platform, cause every independent developer has that right to do what is best for their company and multi-platform opens you up to a wider market. This way you open up your market without neglecting the fans that built you guys up. Now to throw it in your hardcore fans faces and totally cut them off seems just ridiculous, personally and financially. Matt Wix Just make a new Ratchet and Clank afterwards, give us a massive free roaming Metropolis hub, give us 60fps, give us SFX better than Infamous: Second Son, give us the classic R&C gameplay and then maybe we’ll forgive you. Who am I kidding, we’ll DEFINITELY forgive you. Shreyas_M When this was first announced, at their conference, I literally could not believe it. I have been a fan since the start, till the veryend. Even got the admittedly mediocre Fuse! I’m sad that I’ll not be able to play this game, as I’m only getting the PS4, and I can’t just get a Xbox for playing your new game, although you guys are one of my favourite developers. I’ll still wish you the best of luck, because I could never see you guys burn. I’m just sad, that I won’t be able to play it.. Why are there so many negative comments just because Insomniac is appealing to the audience that isn’t jumping on the Microsoft hate wagon? I have played a vast majority of the games made by Insomniac and was thrilled to see them developing a game for Xbox One so that way I will actually be able to play it. They have a market of customers whom aren’t buying the PS4. Who are you to dictate which market they can or can not develop for? Retroact1ve I think people are just pointing out that the real reason was money, not any of the PR bs he gave. Another reason for these negative responses was because of the crap they spouted at E3 sayingthis game was only possible on the xbone. Thats ridiculous since the console is less powerful, by a larger margin then any multiplat devs will be willing to say for fear of pissing off ms. One more reason is because any dev that supports a company to the degree of giving an exclusive deal to a console that has many anti consumer measures built in says a lot about the developer. It says they don’t care about their original fan base, and that they dont care if people get screwed over as long as they can get those sweet sweet bags of money. The MS spin machine has been out full force. People waiting in the wings to claim even the PS4 will have anti used game measures, when in fact it doesnt. No system wide DRM, no publisher can block used games and in fact the only option they have is to initiate an online pass… but thats something we already have current gen like BF3 for instance (until EA did away with them thinking they had the new shiny MS DRM across all consoles, but they jumped thegun apparently). Another is the mandatory kinect, it has to stay plugged in even if you are not using it… even if you are just watching a movie or playing a game that doesnt use it… strikes me as odd and intrusive especially taking their smart ad patents regarding tagging people’s emotions and targeting ads using that information. Which means microsoft selling off information garnered through the kinect about people’s behaviors, no thanks ms no thanks. Insomniac backed the wrong horse and they wont make near as much from sales as they are expecting. I hope they’re getting enough of that 1 billion that MS is setting aside to buy exclusives that the sales won’t matter to the company’s future health… I really like Insomniac and want more of their games, and if their upfront pay from MS isn’t enough to keep them afloat, I’ll be sad. Retroact1ve This is one of those decisions that can make or break a company and their reputation. I personally feel they made the wrong decision. Not justbecause they went exclusive for Microsoft but because it was with a console with so many anti console consumer measures. Also so many greedy measures people haven’t even learned about yet. When people realize its more about Microsoft using people as a test group for ads and other things for them to profit than it is about games for ms they will be really pissed. You do realize how mis-informed you sound, right? 1. Sony released a press release the day after their E3 presentation saying that, in fact, yes third party developers and publishers will have the freedom to put in restrictions and all the DRM they want. 2. The Kinect can be turned off into a low power state while you use the console if you are using a feature that doesn’t require it-that was confirmed like 2-3 weeks ago. 3. As far as games only running on the Xbox One, that’s because the Xbox One will have the Cloud at launch to be used for the physics calculations and other such things so that the game itself can run on theattention seeking backstabbing reporter. I just want to inform people that Sony is not the White Knight and Savior of gaming that every one makes them out to be So, someone from Zipper, not Insomniac. I can understand where they would be coming from of course. Also, they were kind of a first party developer instead of an indie developer. I’m not thinking Sony is the saviour of gaming, but I am thinking that Microsoft is the company that has ruined so many other industries and I don’t want them ruining Console Gaming, especially since it’s my refuge away from Microsoft’s total domination of Desktop Computer gaming (now that they’ve squished Amiga, Linux, OS/2, etc.) A monoculture is never a good thing, and if Microsoft continues dominating, that’s exactly what gaming would become. I’d prefer almost any company other than MS be the 3rd console provider in the market. Heck, I’d prefer Ouya to MS, or even if someone dug the bones of Atari back up and made a console, I’d rather supportthem. I was one of the early supporters of Tapwave back when they were a competitor to the PSP as well. Also, Sony’s changed their policies on small indie developers recently, and that could be carrying over into larger indie developers. No longer need a publisher for downloaded games for instance, which is something that tied many things to Sony permanently before when they had the same policy that MS does now. That earns them my gaming dollar for now. If they start abusing the customer-manufacturer-developer relationship again, that gaming dollar could evaporate on them though. When MS was the place for indies, it was because Sony wanted the IP rights, whereas MS wanted permanent distribution rights on their platforms, and only companies that made a whole lot of money on their games could buy their distribution rights back. Now Sony’s gotten way more permissive and MS is still tightening the screws on indie developers and demanding exclusivity deals in exchange for a spot on the XBLAstore, or forcing them to go through a publisher that publishes disc based games and will only work with them for similar exclusivity deals. If you think MS is your saviour of gaming from the demon Sony, then you’re just as mistaken. Emezie Aneke I stopped reading when you said you would prefer Ouya to Microsoft. This is the problem with Sony fans and i am glad to no longer be a part of that cult that calls itself Sony fans. Ouya that has been ripping off their customers and leaving them in Limbo because customer service refuses to respond. Ouya is Terrible for gamers. Let me tell you this, Sony stopped being innovative after the PSOne era. All they have done since then is make shiny graphics and copy Nintendo left and Right. Examples are PS Move, Sony all stars. Sony are now also completely copying Xbox Live by charging for online access. It is ironic that you mention monopoly because Sony are the ones who has a total monopoly during the PS2 era. It is through innovation that the Xbox360 closed an incredible gap and gained a lot of market share. Microsft is continuing to advance gaming with the Xbox One. They are offering unique possibilities. While the PS4 is just making graphics better and the heard of Sony fanboys latch onto it as Innovation Nintendo and Microsoft have been innovating gaming for a decade and not Sony. Sony has just been copying ideas and not taking risks. Sony dont have the balls to take risks, that is what Nintendo and Microsoft are here for. Original Xbox forces gamers to use broadband for online services and gamers raged as usual. This was a huge step in the right direction for the future of gaming. Sony copies years later with the PS3. Microsoft introduces Xbox Live and revolutionalises online gaming. Creating unique experiences. PS3 copies with PS Plus and does a very poorjob of it. After years of using PS plus, i tried Xbox Live and could not believe the difference. it was Day and Night. Xbox 360 introduces achievements, Sony copy byreleasing Trophies years later. Next thing you know and Sony will copy Xbox Smartglass. The only thing that stands out in the PS4 is Gaikai On the other hand…… Xbox One has cloud computing technology with 300,000 servers Xbox One has 3 OS’s. Xbox One has HDMI pass through Xbox One has Kinect One. Xbox One is truely connected Xbox One has a unique architecture for all this to happen. While PS4’s architecture is essentially a PC architecture, nothing special Wow. I don’t even know where to begin on responding to this. I mentioned Ouya because it’s a US company that has a console, not because they’re particularly trustworthy. Mainly, because after 25 years of dealing with the fallout of MS’s aggression in so many fields of computing their trustworthiness with me is zilch. Sony Move is a project that existed prior to the Wii. It was done in tech demos in the middle of the PS2 era. It’s not at all a copy of Wii, just something they had been cooking up for years that they finally releasedbecause they figured the market was ready for it. Sony has never had a monopoly in all of digital gaming. Even when the PS2 was dominant, the PC was just as common and well used as the PS2, and the GBA was also dominating its field. The Xbox and Gamecube might have had poor numbers, but it certainly wasn’t a gaming monoculture because there were 3 players dominating in 3 different gaming spaces. If Microsoft has their way, then just like every other market they’ve infiltrated and absorbed, they would seek a one-company solution to everything, taking over PC gaming, Set top box gaming, Console gaming, and portable gaming. As it is, we’re looking at a repeat of the PS2 era, where 4 different players dominate 4 different segments of the market. (Sony dominating home consoles, Nintendo dominating portable consoles, MS dominating PC gaming, and Apple dominating mobile phone and tablet gaming.) I’ve never said there was anything particularly innovative about the PS4. It’s actually one of thesafest consoles on the market. What it did do is get everything just right. Make the right decisions to balance performance with developer friendliness and also managed to make the highest performing APU on the market. Not only that, but it’s a reversal of the 360/PS3 era, with the PS4 being the easy console to develop for, and the Xbox One being the difficult to develop for console (with its fragmented, separate memory and trying to push computations to the internet.) I’m perfectly happy with my innovation happening in the games, not the hardware. Most of the innovation in gaming has been coming from one place… Small, non-AAA Indie developers. Guess what platform the bulk of them are on? I can’t believe you’re touting Smartglass as an innovative feature. Yet again, it’s something that Sony has been toying with since the release of the PS3 with their remote play feature. PS Plus is actually a much better program than Xbox Gold… and in this case it is very much Microsoft that is doingdevelopers will learn to use procedurally generated art rather than brute-forcing all the art. That’s about the only way you’ll see cheap games this generation. It’s true that PCs will be more powerful, but it’s going to take them awhile to get the same level of memory bandwidth combined with the power. Until they get unified GDDR5 memory, they won’t be able to match the PS4 in certain tasks. They’ll be able to brute-force their way around the problem with more GPU power though, but it’ll be tougher to access the power without unified memory. I imagine AMD is going to be working on APUs for laptops at least that will be using GDDR5 unified and be as powerful as the PS4 though, but that probably won’t happen until 2014 or 2015. The biggest point though is that PC games are usually waiting on Console games before they can progress. Not many games have fully utilized PC hardware that is out now because they’re written for the lowest common denominator between PS3, 360, and the average PCthat most people have. PC is also limited by much of their audience having only 32 bit OSes, which restricts them to 2 gigs of memory usage. Cross-game chat was a limitation of the RAM on the system for the PS3, they just couldn’t squeeze that feature in. The Vita has it though, and I’m sure the PS4 will as well. It didn’t hurt me much as I barely ever play online. Wow, what a rant there. Yes, cross platform games sucked on the PS3, except for a few. Did you ever play Saboteur? That was actually better on the PS3. They learned from their mistakes with the PS3 and are making the PS4 the easiest and most powerful system. This time around, the cross platform games will be better on the PS4, and there’s nothing they can do on the Xbox One that can make them better that couldn’t also be done on the PS4. (Cloud computing can work on both.) That doesn’t mean the Xbox One is doomed though, just that all of the complaints that people had about the PS3 are now turned around on the Xbox One. Ipaid $100 more for my PS3, because I was smart and bought the 20 gig version. As for losing all your data due to encryption, that’s easily prevented by backing things up. I regularly copied my PS3, PS2, and PS1 saves off my PS3 onto USB thumbdrives for safe keeping. Now, all this backup stuff happens automatically. As for the MS proprietary hard drive, I just bought a 750gig Hybrid drive that is significantly faster than any other drive I’ve used and it cost less than the 250 gig drive that MS is selling for the 360. I really appreciate that I can put any high speed drive in that I want with this system. Don’t even talk to me about Kinect. That’s a detriment for me, and it being required doubles the likelyhood that I will never buy one. I bought the 360 before Kinect came out, then sold it after Kinect came out and MS went all Wii-ish (Plus, the exclusives that I liked stopped being produced. I still have a Wii because they released exclusives like Xenoblade and Pandora’s Tower.)Personally, I don’t WANT the PS4 camera, nor want to deal with any features it has. They were targeting $399 all along, they pulled the camera out because they couldn’t hit $399 profitably if they left it in, they’d have had to sell the console at $429 with it. As for not adding features if not all users have it… How do you explain that many developers for PC have added support for the Occulus Rift? If they can make it work and make it optional, I see no reason why they wouldn’t add support for it in, unless they’re incredibly time-crunched. As for looking around things, most games I play where I want to do that have provisions for doing that without a silly camera. Uncharted, Last of Us, Rage… Skymarshal Jones Dude you know nothing about PC’s if you own an Alienware PC (overpriced in every way). You don’t even feel the need to mention your GPU(<– most important part to play games) while comparing your system with the new consoles. (^Please see this rather like constuctive critiqueinstead of an insult, I sometimes have difficulties to express myself in the English language…) I'm sorry, your other statements seem rather competent and it's a fresh opinion I don't hear so often these days, so I wish you a good day. Panicst8 Oh I see because I chose not to order my parts individually and try and jam in in a footprint case that would look good in my entertainment center I know nothing about computers… Oh no it was because I didn’t whip out my dick (oh sorry I meant my GPU [a detail that most colsole people wouldn’t even have a clue about, or even care about]), that is why I know nothing about PCs… I have been in the IT industry for 21 years (unix system engineering, PC development, Unix systems Deployment, web/data casting, web development) and programming computers for even longer than that (7 different computer languages). I started a web hosting company 11 years ago. (I built the seven servers, and firewall) I have put together probably 20+ custom pcs throughoutthat time. Back when computers were expensive, and assembled with the crappiest parts the companies could buy in bulk. So buying the parts got you cherry picked amazing parts at a much lower cost. But you know what, half the time the drivers for part A weren’t compatible with part B and C. or if something quit working I had to debug it, I had to by a new part that was hopefully compatible with my other parts. Now if something goes down I make a call and its fixed in 24 hours with no cost to me, I never have driver issues, and depending on how much you spend you can get an amazingly fast computer. The major point you apparently overlooked before you started slinging mud, was that with the new consoles arguing over who has the more powerful system and bashing the looser of the Spec-Off is pointless. If your into power then get a PC, if you like a console community, you like the console exclusives, and you like being able to play whatever game they release for that console without havingto buy new hardware, then buy that console. I was just giving an example of my computer I bought over a year ago that it is still on par with and better in some areas than those consoles. My graphics card is NVIDIA GTX 660, now that everyone knows this piece of info, do you suddenly know how amazing or un-amazing it is? Not with out going and comparing spec for spec, which very few people are going to do. I can currently run most pc games at maxed settings, or at least the ones I have tried. (Crysis 3, Diablo 3, Tourchlight 2, Warcraft, Battlefield 3, Starcraft 2) Not positive, but I think 1 if not both consoles might struggle with that. But who knows maybe not, but my point was if year old tech, straight off the shelf, not custom built is that good then the argument over power is kind of waste of time. Think of what computers will be in a year, pretty much any mass produced computer will smoke your console, that’s just how it is so just pick a system that makes you happy and has theenvironment you want and leave the other guys alone, or hell work a little harder and just buy both. As for Alienware x51 being overpriced and under-powered, yup you got me there. But I liked the shiny case with the glowing alien head, oh yeah and I have plenty of money (besides being a grown-up with a very good job, my wife and I own a tattoo shop) so buying it was a non issue I mostly stream tv from it, so I think it will scrape by with my purchase, I did stick a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB solid state drive in it because I had some more of that free money lying around. I’m even going to by another for my bedroom to guess what stream some more tv, just because I can. I love the 4 year 24 hour on site warranty. As for an actual gaming rig I am building one around Christmas after my wife forgets about the 2 new consoles, and 20 games I pre-ordered. I plan on building that one from the ground up, with yes, the best possible hardware I can jam into a full tower case which I plan on cuttingmyself on my CNC machine, which I just got done replacing all the stepper motors on, building a case for the controller cards and rewiring everything on it. Basically a 16,000 upgrade I did all myself for a little over 1,000 bucks. So before you pop off on someone, you should probably check your facts, as to not look some internet troll. Not to mention how bored are you, this conversation is 13 days old. Isn’t there someone else’s balls you could be busting? -panicst8 Of course, after 6-7 years, PCs will be able to out-grunt consoles pretty much across the board in terms of pure processing power, and the games will be using all those new features, but there’s quite a bit to be said about a stable platform that can be optimized to. PCs everyone is targeting a lowest common denominator that they pick with the hopes of having a certain percentage of the market be able to play their game. They don’t optimize it for any one card or processor because not everyone will have that card. Thus,even though the GPU/CPU of the consoles was behind even after the first year they were out, it’s going to take a few years before PC games have caught up to using the same level of tech. How long will it be before 50% of PCs on the market have 8-core processors, 7870 level GPUs, and have unified, 176gb/s memory uniformly shared between their cpu and gpu, and use a 64 bit OS? Optimistically, I’m thinking 2017. That’s when the bulk of PC games will start using technology that outstrips the new consoles this time around. Remember, it’s not just when that stuff becomes available. You could probably GET all of that hardware in 2014 for your PC. But PC developers won’t TARGET that until it has a certain degree of market saturation, and that degree differs between the developers. Stardock is way more conservative, probably wanting a 70-75% marketshare support before requiring a tech for their games, while Crytek may only go for a 10-20% marketshare support. Most every other developer willfall somewhere between those two extremes. With consoles, 100% of your market on that console has that technology, so you can start using it right away. It’s a bit of a tick-tock thing going on here, where Consoles drive adoption of new hardware while PCs drive improving the hardware forward. Both are essential for the market… Panicst8 Well first off my general point still holds, if your after power, build a PC gaming rig. As for consoles leading the way, in some ways yes but any game released on both PC and console with enough money and the right parts, is going to be better on the PC. I never said the average computer would beat a console, only that it could be beaten hardware wise with a PC. More than likely no one will create a game anytime soon that will tax high end gaming rig or the new consoles, which makes it all a moot point. Like I have tried to say all along that if you are into having the end all be all of power a console is not going to be it especially if your talking ayear or so into the next gen life cycle. However if you like to game on the cheap, then obviously the PS4 has the most bang for your buck, as they did with the PS3….. To bad they made such a convoluted architecture that it took the entire life cycle for a company to master it. (Last of Us) I personally hope the PS4 lives up to everything being promised, I was very disappointed with it last round, Hoping they work on the community, the security, and the online aspects… (as well as throw HOME in the trash). I personally play anything I can get my hands on (that’s right, I meant it just like I said it. 😛� ) I would say PC is my least favorite platform, I am for sure not its champion, just saying if you want to build a monster machine with no budget, you can rival a console now, much less in the years to come. Also, was just responding to that douche about my lack of knowledge concerning PCs, wasn’t really looking to get back into this thread, I think we have beaten it to death. Besidesthat you are obviously well versed on all things Sony, and other guy all things Microsoft, I said up front I didn’t want to get in the middle of your “friendly” debate. -panicst8 Well, the friendly debate there was pretty much over by the time you showed up, so no issues at all. I think my point was more that you could build a PC with the bleeding edge parts and those would play all of the console games smoother than the console does, but you’re not going to get very much software that takes advantage of that hardware’s new features… Whereas with consoles, because it’s a fixed target they can take full advantage of the hardware. Because of that, consoles tend to be ahead for at least a year or two, then the PCs are ahead after that, but still never live up to their full, $1000 graphics card potential. PS3 was screwy in that it was never ahead of the PC due to the long rampup time, but it’s certainly putting out graphics now with its Geforce 7950 variant that a PC never could managewith a Geforce 7950, or even a 8800. I’m hoping that the developers making PC ports of PS4 & Xbox One games will require 64 bit OSes. That may actually finally drive a nail in the coffin of the legacy 32 bit windows crud that is still floating around. If that happens, the PC might catch up earlier than I expect. If they try to make them work with 32 bit, then PCs will be behind for 4 years this time. Panicst8 Well there you go. 😀� carl LIES!!! They must make another R&C. If not, i’m stuck with ‘the last of us’ crap forever! Julian Celaj lol clearly a Microsoft employee. While I don’t doubt that Sony has had bad relationships with developers like every company, it’s nearly unanimous that Sony has a much better relationship with developers than Microsoft. I wonder how much you are getting for this. Anson My thoughts exactly. I want to see Insomniac succeed, but their decisions recently have been… confusing, and it hurts to see such a great studio stall. Best of luck, Insomniac. Korbei83Oh! I get it now. This is some kind of Gladiator-like meta game where developers pit their fans against each other in a vitriol-filled dual to the death. Create a multiplatform game and you unite the masses against yourself. Create a platform exclusive game and you can watch them peck each other’s eyes out in a digital cock fight. Jod McJod I want to play this. On a PC. With my friends. Much like Borderlands. Otherwise – I will have to deal with the likes of people that made comments below(and probably above) mine. Which will ruin any multiplayer game. The amount of immature and simply mean and disheartening comments already suggest an awful multiplayer experience no matter how good the game is or what console it will be on since I’m seeing assholes on all sides. So in short – kids, go rot in hell. And have a nice day. Chris Milford “So in short – kids, go rot in hell. And have a nice day.” You find rude people everywhere, in real life, on xbox, pc games, and sort of on ps3 (they don’thave cross media chat so the multiplayer community is game sentric.) I have made many a friend on xbox live that are neither rude, nor kids. Now that PS4 will finally have a decent cross-media chating experience, in addition to losing home (what a fail) you will be gaining the exact kind of people you have on xbox live, so you’ll be finding loads of rude juvenile people saying things like ” I’m seeing assholes” and “kids, go rot in hell” on all systems. As for hating on a company for doing what they do to stay in business and not experiencing there game, well that makes you a fare weather friend, oh wait your not there friend your someone who buys their game, 60 bucks in their pocket. In the grand scheme of things you are a tiny little ant, so I am sure they will lose no sleep from you not playing their game, or making your comment in this blog. But guess what, by being fan of strictly one console you are the one missing out, you need to stop being a console fan, and be a game fan. Ifyou love Insomniac games enough to come here and post, then you should be a fan of Insomniac and follow them wherever they may go. There are a ton of exclusives on 6 platforms (that’s if your not counting mobile devices) so stop with the “I use this platform only” BS excuse, and go after all the other amazing games out there. Hating on a company for what keeps them in business is just silly, if you got offered a better job for more money at another company, poof you an 99% of other people in the world jump at it, cause if you don’t your a fool. Just enjoy your game, try to be a little more pleasant, and don’t act like the people you are bad mouthing in the same breath, it makes you look foolish. -panicst8 Evan To be honest i am a little disappointed in you Insomniac. I have always been a huge fan of your work (probably my favourite developers). I always remember getting excited when going to my cousins so i could play Spyro on the PS1. When the PS2 was released again i remember goinground to my cousins and playing Ratchet and Clank and it instantly became my favourite game and is till my favourite game franchise. When i got a PS2 for myself the first game i made sure i got was Ratchet and Clank and i said it is my favourite franchise and i own all the games. Up until now all of your games and loyalty has been for the PlayStation which is my preferred platform. Recently you released FUSE although some people didn’t like it but i still did and it was from my favourite developer. What disappointed me however was that it was also released on the Xbox 360 but that’s ok even though i didn’t agree with it that much. Then you go and make a partnership with Microsoft and bring out an exclusive for the Xbox One which looks very good and i along with many other will not be able to play your game on our preferred console, the PS4. I think this is a mistake on your part as you made a partner ship with Microsoft before seeing sales figure because at this point it looks like thePS4 will be more successful and at the end of the day a lot of it is about money and you probably thought that the Xbox One would be very successful. Also a big factor for choosing a new console is the exclusives. Your games were exclusive and i’m sure were the reason for selling some of the PS3 consoles and many PS2’s. So you could have helped support the PlayStation however i’m not saying you abandoning the PlayStation but i think you will loose some sales and end up not making as many games for the PlayStation. What i’m trying to say is i don’t think you should have made this partnership with Microsoft sorry for this rant but i am a bit disappointed that my favourite developer are basically leaving PlayStation. Also i hope you at least continue the Ratchet and Clank series. Thanks if you read this Mark Nolan You say they are your favourite developers, then go on to say they are really about the money? You clearly don’t know them at all, do you? Insomniac are ALL about the community,it is what makes them the best. The Xbox One had what they wanted, they liked the ideas and the technology so they went for it. They never belonged to PlayStation and you shouldn’t discourage them from trying new platforms just because it doesn’t suit you. It is very selfish behaviour. Robert Masterson you can’t claim they are ALL about the community and then try and justify them leaving their community in the dust. They may have not “belonged” to playstation, but that’s where their fans are. If you think this wasn’t about money, you are a naive fool. NormanWelt Mark Nolan, that is THE most ridiculous comment on this thread. You cannot claim they are all about community when its the community that supported them and loved them that they are leaving behind? They made this decision for the money. Just like they made the terrible decision to partner with EA on FUSE. It destroyed that game and XBox will destroy Insomniac. I have NO problem with them doing cross platform developments. Hellthink it was the best thing ever than sliced bread. You should just stop supporting Sony and really you SHOULD these dimwits easilly stopped supporting you over one game. Face it Ted there drones they are easilly butt hurt ungrateful idiots who dont even deserve you guys. Actually, no. After being burned by the last 3 Insomniac games, we’d be cautiously optimistic, but not thinking it was the best thing ever. I’m only optimistic about R&C ITN because they’ve been claiming it’s going back to the classic R&C gameplay, and that was my complaint about A4O and FFA. (They moved into doing things they weren’t quite as experienced in, made games that were flawed because of it.) Eman666 I still dont understand you people with this game its just a Xbox One Exclusive and plus Microsoft obviously payed them a huge load of money and last i remember there a video game developing studio they need money to survive and “Care for PS fans” VS “$$$” i would pick the money because in the end its a studiothere in it for money. Also Sony Drones want Used games and due to people buying used games they make less because drones are cheapskates who dont support there company. Be thankful my company paid them well to make up for your rediculous Used Game purchases and not caring for Insomniac. I’m beginning to think you’re just an elaborate script spouting things with no relation to what you’re replying to… Eman666 They removed the Digital Rights get over it and thats been a long time ago since they removed DRM it is no longer among us anyway no one had a chance to use those new features. You are, in fact, the one who brought this topic up when you complained about used games. Why try and defend it or use it as a cudgel if it’s already been removed? There’s nothing in the fact that they removed them that says we can’t rail against the concept in general. Online DRM is something that should be struck down whenever possible to preserve the history of gaming. Something Bungie fans not made atBungie, yes they are, what’s more funny is how they’re made at DLC coming early to Sony and exclusive DLC, least they get the game, it isn’t like Bungie where saying how mulitplat wouldn’t mean they would forget about their core fans, and then make an exclusive game that most of their fans wouldn’t be able to play. Eman666 Halo is still on Xbox and Bungie is making a new game called “Destiny” im not mad that they made a new game for both consoles really there still going to get that game. If some one gets mad over that well i dont know what to tell you thats stupid and oh right Sony Fans get butt hurt over losing a PlayStation only game like making Petitions on how butt hurt they are about Final Fantasy or Devil May Cry thats how pathetic you all are.. There games nothing special drones Something Can you read? I know what Bungie is doing and that Halo is still on Xbox, I was replying to show you how Bungie fans are upset at Bungie for making exclusive content for the PS4 version ofDestiny, which is more sad as they still get the game, they only miss out on extra content, at least the fans still get the game, fans of Insomniac will most likely not get Sunset overdrive. Xbox fans = more funny, as they get upset over DLC. Eman666 Uhhu amplifact If you’re trying to make a point about Insomniac having the right to choose their release platform, gloating about how much better “your” company’s console is won’t help your position. Yes, people seem to be getting unreasonably upset over this apparent change of allegiances, but remember that they are fans of Insomniac for what they have produced already, IPs currently owned by Sony. If Insomniac should choose to create further instalments in any of these series, fans will be forced to purchase two consoles in order to keep up with the developer, which seems to be something the majority of people cannot afford. Yeah I know, “get over it” — but this does seem disloyal to the majority of people who made Insomniac what theyare, so the fans have a right to complain if nothing else. That said, if all subsequent Insomniac releases are either XBO exclusive or multi-platform, they have a pretty easy choice to make for the next generation anyway. Eman666 Ever thought that Sunset Overdrive could build up newer fans for this company? But since were Microsoft you guys will treat us like 2nd class citizens by the fact we are from the competitors side.If you go the Sunset fans will stick around almost like you never left Eman666 Xbox fans always get DLC first so what one stinkin game you a holes are lucky to get that DLC Microsoft pays a lot for that timed exclusive DLC. Sony instead puts that money into first party platform exclusive titles. I think I’d rather have Uncharted 1-3, The Last of Us, Sly Cooper 4, Infamous, etc instead of having the DLC for a couple of games a few months early. When I look back on the games I’ve played on the system, with Saboteur, Fallout, and Skyrim aside, most of the best have beenexclusives. Even better, of the more recent games, the best have been the tiny little indie games. What’s with the ad hominem in your posts… This isn’t adversarial, we’re all friends who like Insomniac games for different systems. 😉� Something You’re such a retard. That is all. Travis Hughes See my comment above: Insomniac claims this article was about transparency, but made it seem like it was some philosophical decision that led them to make this an exclusive, not a truckload of money. Just calling out BS where there’s BS, is all. FiachSidhe Both of you fanboy camps need to grow the Hell up. furious1235 Insomniac make games for money not hugs and kisses, microsoft paid them money and they made a game for them its as simple as that there is nothing so trecherous about it. Its not like they’re saying”fuck you ps fans, thanks for buying our and making us famous”. Travis Hughes Except, this article claims to be about transparency, yet it’s not. It’s beyond clear that they’re making thisexclusive because Microsoft shoved a truck full of money at them, and yet they make up some BS story about how Microsoft showed them the light. It’s all PR/marketing bullshit, and some of us are just trying to call them out on that. furious1235 Isnt it the usual marketing bs with every company why do you think they made games for sony becuz they like them? No becuz sony also shoved a truck ful of money at insomniac to make exclusive games.Just remember they r not owned by sony they r independent and they r branching out,they r not leaving you guys. I dont think xbox fans r butthurt about bungie advertising their game on ps4 and making exclusive content for. Ippoletta I’m sorry but you sony drones are sick in the head. and if i was ted. id tell you all to kiss my a**. you think he has to cater to you idiots? nope. he decided to take Microsoft’s money and make a cool looking game. what the f**k is your problem? this man and the rest of his team has a family to take care of. you dumbasses act like it’s a crime to take money and make games for people. lol… i guess it’s because sony’s in debt, you shills act like making money is a bad thing. they’re a flipping company for Christ sakes. you should be glad Microsoft threw money at them so they can make more games. but i guess my ranting is pointless because this place is filled with a bunch of childish, rabid sony shills with no flipping morals. most of you should be ashamed of yourselves. they made how many games for sony???? and they make 1 little exclusive game for Microsoft and you people act like they killed your damn family members. i mean honestly… i’m so angry and appalled by all of the BS some of you so called insomniac fans are writing. are you people paying them to make this game? no… so why the f**k do you care who they make it for? it’s nobodies damn business, they could have gone to Nintendo for all i care. are you people really that blind and childish? i swear sony fans are a bunch of flipping selfishhypocrites. loyal to a piece of freaking plastic and metal. i feel sorry for some of you. not just you drones, but all fanboys in general. to all that has a problem with what they are doing, you’re all pathetic… truly. and i dont give a damn what any of you ignorant shills have to say so dont bother. all of you pathetic children harped about how the xbox360 had no exclusives, and the freaking instant they get some sony kids are all angry and want them. but it pleases me to know this game or anything Microsoft publishes wont go to the PS4. and dont tell me about mass effect because EA bought the series. TL;DR go to h*ll. Rant over. NormanWelt LOL!!!!! My vote for the most idiotic comment EVER published on the net! Ippoletta Hahahaha stay mad buddy. i dont give a damn. you’re clearly another asshurt sony shill. im glad this game isn’t coming to the PS3.5, tell your moronic friends to stop crying for Microsoft exclusives. we dont have any remember?…. karma’s a b!tch isn’t it?. NormanWeltHaha…OMG! Just when you though it couldn’t get more dense up in here. LOL. Thanks man. Your comments are beautiful! Travis Hughes I’d rather they just be honest, is all. They aren’t making an exclusive because their eyes were opened to the “awesomeness” of the Xbox One; they did it because Microsoft paid them a lot of money. But hey, this is business, and the number 1 rule of marketing is “Tell your customer anything BUT the full, actual truth.” Ippoletta Who comes out and says “hey we got paid to make a game so we’re doing it”? that’s right …no one. Microsoft is funding the development so it’s pretty damn obvious. all i see is crying and no matter what excuse the sony shills say ill still laugh in their faces because they are ridiculous. Microsoft also funded and are publishing Quantum Break and Dead Rising 3. Microsoft is rich, everybody knows this.. so i can see why developers go to them with projects first to see if they could help out. either that or sony wasn’t interested. why dopeople need them to say Microsoft paid them when it was painfully obvious that that is the case? will it help to make the sony fanboys sleep at night? because any idiot can see that’s why you guys are so uptight. i guess you need to stroke your egos and find an excuse for why they are making a Microsoft exclusive. when in fact sony pays for all of those ratchet games and whatever else they made for them. yet… nobody gives a f*ck there. i think people are crying because this game could be a potential console seller and might actually be good. so of course they dont want it on Xbox One like they selfish pricks sony fanboys are. Point is sony does not own them (insomniac) so they can do whatever they please. i actually hope they do a Wii U exclusive next. as someone who owns all last gen and will own all next gen, i find this comment section disgusting. real gamers do not carry on like that. i can imagine ted shaking his head as well. the shills cant b!tch in the forums so they do it herelol. i dont think they care to view these comments so they let the rants fall on deaf ears. Eman666 I agree with you 100% these Sony Pony Drones are so stupid and delusional, they act like they can boss around Insomniac and that they should stick to that PigS*** 3 and 4 or they wont support them at all. And what they are doing to Insomniac is stupid and extreme to the limits such a true fanbase they are oh my oh my how pathetic are you Sony Queeers FiachSidhe Wow…just wow. you really need to get over your toy game
