E3: Insomniac to unveil multiplatform game on Monday photo

Oh boy, it's one of these stories; I blame your rampant thirst for knowledge. (And mine too.) During EA's E3 2011 press conference, Insomniac Games will announce its latest title, which so happens to be an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 affair.

Interestingly, the studio is saying this game has a new universe. Makes sense, considering the relationship with Sony. What's the next step for the team behind Resistance and Ratchet & Clank? We will find out soon enough -- EA's conference kicks off Monday at 12:30 pm PDT. Catch it on Spike TV or online.

I'd also like to point out that some Internet-going folks are angry that Insomniac is reaching out to a larger audience with this project. The eff is wrong with you guys? Can't we all have nice things?

“Can’t we all have nice things?”

NO! How am I supposed to enjoy a game when other people on a different machine are playing it!?

Can't wait. I've sorely missed access to Ratchet and Clank without a Sony machine this generation.

We'll take this and you guys can have the MGS series back. Please, take it.

I Hope people realize that neither Ratchet and Clank nor Resistance will NOT be for the 360. This game will be a new IP.

Hopefully this game is extremely similar to spyro. I fucking love spyro!! In fact, I was playing it on my ps3 last night.

I think the only thing I've played from tgem is Resistance. I have never played a R&C game before. I think I'm to late into the series.

I understand that exclusivity drives more consumers to demand the console more, but I'm never angry when something goes both ways.

It makes it easier for people to understand what I'm talking about when it's on consoles they own.

Insomniac deserves the privilege to be loved by everyone. I'm guessing that this'll probably go to Nintendo's new console as well. Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve.

I've actually never cared for their games. Not that I think they were bad or anything, the R&C games always felt too much like Pixar movies to me. I don't care for Pixar, either.

Though I do love Pixar for pushing Disney to do hand-drawn movies here and there. So they were good for something.

Also, calling it now. EA withholds some content and makes you join a special network to download Insomniac content.

It's ridiculous to be angry at Insomniac for producing a multi-platform game. Why shouldn't they? However, I'm a LOT less positive about EA's involvement. Buying an EA game has become a pain in the neck. I cannot fucking believe I played 3 levels of a facebook game just to unlock some content in a real game. I'm still somewhat ashamed of myself.

Here's hoping whatever we get is a little less Resistance and a little more Ratchet & Clank. Stylistically, anyway.

Id be excited if it wasnt for EA's name being all over it. EA have a tendency to completely ruin franchises and leave companies in complete ruin. My prayers are with the folks over at Insomniac.

i love insomniac since spyro back in the ps1 days. the only franchise i and not the biggest fan of is resistance. the first one tho is amazing the 2ed one was terrable. i traded it in the day after i played it. and i got the collectors edition. they are good at making platform games but not fps.

If all developers did this, there wouldn't be a reason anymore to buy both consoles. Which is good for the consumer.

actually that would be god awful for consumers, the point of multiple consoles existing is choice.

That method of thinking is why I regret getting a 360, not a exclusive to it's name I care about and my log records are proof.

I wish Insomniac and Naughty Dog would buy back Spyro and Crash. Spyro is turning into a gimmicky soon to be flop from hell and Crash is just dust in the wind. Two talented developers, bring your franchises back. God how I'd love a comeback from Crash.... :( POOMBAGAA!

"That method of thinking is why I regret getting a 360, not a exclusive to it's name I care about and my log records are proof."

You just proved my point. If every title was multiplatform, you wouldn't be regretting your choice now. And I wouldn't be cursing Epic for not being able to play Gears of War on my PS3. The 300 bucks some players spend on a new system just to be able to play an exclusive or two could have been used to buy more games, or go on vacation.
Exclusive titles are only good for the platform maker, not the consumer.

It always disgusts me when people say "...the fuck" or "...the hell" or what have you. I sometimes go into rage mode when I hear people do it in person.

I'll reply to myself: Cool story bro

No, the point of multiple platforms existing is to make more money for whatever company makes the console, exclusives are a means of swaying an audience to your system and actually limit the consumer choice significantly.

As a Sony fanboy myself I feel like I should point out to you this is Sony's mistake.

It's a little like the hubub Epic and Microsoft had a while back. Here's Insomniac, a loyal Sony developer who over the years have created several well known franchises that are very familiar to the Playstation brand, and who does Sony throw the big money at last year?? Media Molecule.....What the hell????

Don't get me wrong I love LBP, but to give a developer that kind of reward after just one game, over a developer who has been pretty dedicated to you over the years??? Talk about a spit in the face. It's a wonder Insomniac didn't jump ship entirely (Thank the gaming Gods they didn't).

Ah well...everything Insomniac is gold to me so I can't wait to see what else they have cooking. I'll just thank the gaming Gods it is a multiplat. That way I don't have to buy a new litterbox.

I never really cared much for the resistance games. I own and finished them both though. The don't bring anything special to the overflowing fps market. The games are far from bad though. Just nothing special. Ratchet & clank on the otherhand.. I love those guys!
