Yeah this bodes extremely well for psvr. Imagine spiderman ported to PSVR2 on the ps5!
I love ratchet and spiderman (and sunset overdrive), but I hope this doesnt lock them into basically being the spiderman studio with an occasional ratchet game.
Even if there was a bidding war Sony probably had a first digit of refusal like EA did with respawn
hahahahahahhaha
lol, that man has like 10 subs, how did you find him? Is it you?
Just like ND is the Uncharted factory and GG is the Killzone factory and MM is the LittleBigPlanet factory.
Think it was when I searched Insomniac Games and sorted by new
That's definitely not me lol
Can't really blame him because that's all he's experienced on the other side.
Sony seems to allow their developers to create new IP pretty frequently. I'd be surprised if they forced Insomniac to churn out sequels ad nauseam
They'll probably do a Ratchet and Spidey 2, then some other big AAA thing before they do Spidey 3.
Insomniac is at worst a top-three action-adventure game dev, and most of their IPs outside of Sunset Overdrive are so connected with Sony, that this is a no-brainer on Sony's part.
They've got a variety of in-house IPs to work on here, and Sony seems to be pretty open to letting their studios create what they want, so I expect good stuff from them.
Sony's in-house IP will never have the cachet of Nintendo's stuff or even Rockstar's stuff, but they continue to approach that sort of area where their in-house studios are going to have games that throw up big numbers and are artistically and critically impressive.

User Warned: Trolling
I'm imaging Sony and Xbox console wars where it's WW1 and they're in bunkers and in the middle is no mans land.
I hope they do sequels to both because their last two efforts have been among the best games I've played this gen.
Nah, it was stated in the Shawn Layden interview that R&C will be continued.
Sony also has no problem letting their studios try new IP.
Square is going to be very expensive. Around 5 Billion USD.
This is pretty lazy trolling.
In the last 12 years, Naughty Dog has made one game outside of 10 Uncharted or Last of Us games.
In the last 15 years, Guerilla Games has made 2 games compared to 6 Killzone games.
In the last 20 years, Polyphony has only made Gran Turismo.
In the last 20 years, Sucker Punch has only made Sly or Infamous.
I personally believe Insomniac will make plenty of games, but let's not pretend that single IP-focused studios is a Xbox-only phenomena.
These are IPs worth fuck loads of money, of course these companies want studios dedicated to them.
A publisher that I know also force their studios to work on one IP only. Dont know if you like them. I hear they make Gears or something, or Halo?
