Insomniac hints at new PS3 exclusive Comments by Tom Bramwell

Eurogamer's going to be ten years old in September. Just saying.

So...five more hard years till the Bahamas trip then? :P

Do these guys do Jak & Daxter? If so, i'm hoping it's that! If these guys didn't do Jak & Daxter..i still hope a PS3 version is announced,but without the GTA style, i want one like the first game!

Naughty Dog were behind the Jak & Daxter series, and Iagree about you over the direction the series took, sequels were cynical attempts to make it trendy GTA style, imo undid all the hard work they did with the original, as first looks suggest to me they are doing with Uncharted, more rather than less combat taking it further in the wrong direction.

Insomniac - 15 years old, didn't know will have to look up what they worked on pre Ratchet...

No, Naughty Dog Did Jak and Daxter.

arse!!!! not quick enough. :-)

@vertical Stand

the first game they show on their site is Disruptor release 1996 on the PS1 which was followed by the PS1 Spyro games.

Insomniac... PS3 exclusive? Shocking! I mean, who would have expected that?!?

Cheers Moz, didn't know they worked on the original Spyro titles, played the first briefly a wee lad way back. Resistance makes more sense in their catalogue having read a little about Disruptor just now, would make for an interesting game to put up on the PSN store for PSP.

@Psychotext

There was actually a rumour that they'd go multiplatform after R2, but that was clearly BS. They're not a 1st party dev though (unlike Naughty Dog) so it's not impossible.

(I can't remember but I think I'm right in saying that...) Insomniac made Twisted Metal for the PS2? If so, I hope it is a PS3 version!

I just hope it's not another FPS. I appreciate their work, but not if it's an FPS.

So, is EG sending its employees on an all-expenses paid trip to the Canaries?

@ Anotherrobharvey

Nope, Insomniac never made a Twisted Metal. The only games they've worked on are Disruptor, Spyro, Ratchet and Resistance.

And to those wondering about Disruptor - it's rubbish. I bought it a couple of year back, and it's just a substandard FPS from the time when the genre was getting big. However, I wouldn't mind them doing a remake, although I s'pose they've got the whole FPS angle covered with Resistance.

Anyway, I really like Insomniac, it's good to see them doing so well. It'd be nice if they took a bit of time out from Ratchet and gave us new platformer sans guns. Guns have ruined platformers. Or, failing that, Daxter & Clank Karting. However, Naughty Dog are probably the more appropriate choice for this, given how superb CTR is.

I don't think it's another FPS...

I guess you missed the part in this comment thread which mentioned they aren't a first party developer

Vertical Stand, it could be argued that by adding stealth to the play mechanics Naughty Dog aren't expanding on the combat for Uncharted's sequel. I'm more disappointed the dev has done away with elena's realistic female attributes in favour of a more hollywood/male fantasy inspired accompanying protagonist.

Excellent!

Will Eurogamer be bringing in cakes for everyone then?

Someone's not too bothered by the credit crunch, anyway. Lucky old them.

"And to those wondering about Disruptor - it's rubbish. I bought it a couple of year back, and it's just a substandard FPS from the time when the genre was getting big."

Absolutely have to disagree. This, Exhumed and DOOM on PS1 were my fave fps games of the time. You can't judge it in today's market (a couple of years ago is too recent) as both DOOM and Exhumed are nigh on unplayable for any great length of time bar a sudden nostalgic craving.

After the first two levels the game really took off, and the psychic powers were a really great secondary weapon. I remember the dream sequence, inside the hero's own mind...trippy as fuck. The cut scenes were cheesey, but the game itself rocked. Great gfx too -- one of the best teleport-warp effects ever!

whateber it is... it's going to be brilliant coz all insomniac games are great. appart from R2, that was a bit of alet down....
