Insomniac: “We won’t be making any more Resistances”

Quote :

Whether you nearly drowned in a tidal wave of closure during Resistance 3′s credits or still – to this very day – spend long, cold nights yearning for the embrace of more guns, one thing’s absolutely certain: Insomniac’s finished with the Resistance franchise.

“We won’t be making any more Resistances,” Insomniac CEO Ted Price told VG247 during an interview at Southern Methodist University’s Game::Business::Law Summit today. Short, sweet, and to the point.

With the Chimera and their pesky genocidal invasion now in the rearview mirror, Insomniac’s moving on to four-player co-op shooter Overkill. Mum’s the word on details for now, but if it doesn’t have a massive selection of outlandish guns, that’s probably a sign we’ve finally broken the universe beyond repair. And if there’s not at least one gun that turns enemies into some kind of non-threatening, doe-eyed animal? Well then, God help us all

Insomniac’s also opened up its own social games division, Insomniac Click, which – sad to say – is equally shrouded in mystery at the moment. The goal, however, is to create “deep worlds, rich stories, [and] accessible gameplay,” so don’t start bracing yourself for Ratchet and Clank Present: SororityVilleWars just yet.

“Certainly over the next couple years, we’re going to see a huge evolution in visuals in social games,” Price said. “It’s thanks to improving technologies. It’s thanks to browsers that are getting better and more powerful. It’s thanks to development teams – core traditional game teams who are moving into the space.”

Expect the full interview with Price – which covers many of the above topics and more (and also maybe Skylanders) – in the coming days.

Me too, mainly because an English Sniper blows the head off a Chimera and says "That's for Sheffield!"

I really hope they don't continue making R&C. Leave the series alone now already...

I think they will mainly focus with EA right now. Its a shame tho because resistance had potential.

So Insomniac won't be making Resistance? Sony will find a new developer for it.

Oh well. I hope Insomniac has even better new IP's up the pipeline. Can't wait to see more of Overstrike.

Sad. Not a fan of the series myself, but there were many people who really liked this series.

I think that All 4 One was the last in the series. I agree with what you said, since I heard it was worse than the other PS3 Ratchet and Clank games.
