Sony has purchased the California-based game studio Insomniac Games, best known for last year’s Spider-Man on PS4. Insomniac will become an exclusive PlayStation developer, Sony says.

Insomniac is also the creator of Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, and Sunset Overdrive, an Xbox exclusive that probably won’t be getting any sequels.

Other than Forza I can't think of a single noteworthy franchise they have. Xbox I mean not playground games

Unfortunate for them they bought some studios (Obsidian) which are still finishing up their current game, so it will be a few years before we start seeing meaningful output from their recent acquisitions.

Going by this generation Sony's first party is collectively incapable of making a first person shooter now, let alone a good one :hah: (unless you count ShadowFall as a good game lol)
Yeah, which is more the reason why they should bring back Resistance because that franchise has a lot of potential and presumably a good fan base that'll turn a new game into a success.

Resistance had a good ending with the third game, I would rather they invest in a new IP.

Though both their primary FPS studios (Insomniac and Guerilla) have found much more success making third person games. I doubt they're in a rush to go back to the FPS genre.

You're overestimating my MS Paint skills if you think I was going to spend time editing the logo positions on the base image :p

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
