Insomniac Games Retrospective

PSLS: "Few developers are as beloved on PlayStation as Burbank, California’s Insomniac Games. This is for good reason as the studio has consistently put out great games ever since 1996. Not only did they create stellar games, though, they also made icons. Spyro and Ratchet are some of the first characters that people associate with the PlayStation brand, and they wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Insomniac Games."

It's amazing Insomniac was able to remain an independent developer for 20 years. You just know Sony made various offers throughout the decades.

They have also put out some crap as well. Don't get me wrong I LOVE R+C. I loved Resistance as well. Their other titles last gen were utter and complete trash. Ted Price wanted so badly to be on the 360, and this gen he wanted so badly to be on XBO. I just dont get it. He apparently just does not like the Playstation.

ScorpiusX3703d ago

Think it has to do with being able to own what they create say like Fuse , SSOD two IP that are there's to do as they please going forward .

Insomniac Games Has To Figure Out How to Break the 'Normal' Gameplay Loop in Marvel's Wolverine

For a mutant who can't die, how will Insomniac Games adjust the healing mechanic in Marvel's Wolverine?

Knocked out is still an option. So are being captured or restrained. Then there's potential for fatigue being a factor or just putting limits on how many times you can come back from healing quickly, making it also something you upgrade throughout the game.

Really not a hard thing to gamify, honestly. Just look at the last wolverine game.

StarcrossedBits245d ago

Yeah, this is very silly. Wolverine's not invincible and he can actually die anyway. This isn't the Superman problem. The 360/PS3 game handled it great.

Deadpool is another example. That guy literally can't die because Death won't take him. But they still figured out a way to make a game around him.

Probably just have a health bar, only a tiny minority will probably be bothered by "oh but adanced healing" nonsense
Injustice was successful, people didn't cry about superman being beaten by humans

Juancho51245d ago

Ive seen enough to know that whatever they do will focus heavily on insane combos and dismemberments and all kinds of cool shit we wish we'd seen years ago as wolverine fans.

This is in great hands, all open world games get stale, I'm sure this game is going to be GOTY contender because of the talent behind it, but I hope its doesn't fall into any traps that make the world feel empty or underutilized.

LFG tho!! EXCITED.

BlackCountryBob245d ago

Of all the things to worry about, this feels like the lowest ebb. I’d perhaps be more concerned about how they can find enough variety in the combat mechanics to stop a 10-12 hour game from becoming a bit samey, even if they get that main combat gameplay loop to be incredibly satisfying.

Obviously Wolverines claws will remain the main combat method, but thinking about how God of War benefited from (and differentiated itself from predecessor’s) by increased verticality in combat and also ranged attack mechanics, I’d be interested to see what Insomniac can come up with.

__SteakDeck__244d ago

Jean Gray will be playable for a portion of the game. That’s how they’re going to spice it up.

LoveSpuds244d ago

Interesting to hear to views os such an experienced game developer/designer.........wha t's that, you just a random dude off the internet....
