"It feels more like a homecoming though" , exactly! Sony managed since the PS1 decades ago to provide developers an open place to developed their games more freely than any other Game Company, not only Insomniac was pushed by Sony to be huge and successful developers and being known of their work, but Playstation pushed also other developers to success like Capcom, SquareEnix,Rockstar Games, Konami, Polyphony, Namco, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Eidos, Quantum Dream, Media Molecule just to name few, heck! even EA, Ubisoft lol, all these developers are also part of the Playstation Family if you didn't know, Sony help them create new IPs and make famous other IP's, and so we all should be grateful Playstation exists. :)

Seriously I dare you to tell me other game company besides Sony Entertainment that has make so many game companies to be multi million successful game companies, hehe I think we should be thankful of Nintendo too for not teaming up with Sony decades ago, that day the game industry savior was born like it or not.

Playstation FTW!!!!

So Spiderman might be back in the MCU, turns out Disney knows they f#%* up. Wonder what #boycottsony group is going to say now?

Silly gameAr2337d ago

Probably going to twist it, and act like they had something to do with it.

Stan Lee’s daughter even sided with Sony because Disney is just being greedy. They treated him like shit and ever since his death They don’t care anymore

ElCapitan0062337d ago

How did Disney treat Stan Lee like shit? He had a cameo in every single one of their Marvel movies and then had a Marvel opening dedicated just to him at the beginning of Captain Marvel.

You might not be aware of it, but his daughter was at the center of all the abuse Stan was facing with shortly after his wife’s passing and just before his own. His daughter was abusing him, and introduced the man who further abuses him all for money.

Remind me again how Disney treated Stan poorly...

-Foxtrot2337d ago (Edited 2337d ago )

Stan Lees daughter hardly was in touch with him and was being done for elder abuse...so...

Disney loves Stan Lee, they got him to do cameos, have done tributes for him and all the cast have wrote how special he was to them. They never treat him like shit

PimpDaddy2337d ago

Get your facts straight Genji. #FakeNews

Kiwi662337d ago

But you only heard one side of it and just accepted it without knowing all the facts

ShadowWolf7122337d ago

C'mon dude, even if you think Disney WAS being unreasonable, you can't believe they actually treated Stan like crap.

They paid the man heavy tribute in both life and in death, allowed him to cameo in whatever way he wanted in the movies, had him at all the premieres he could attend so long as his health allowed it, Marvel Comics have been reprinting Stan's Soapbox segments in their comics since he passed.

And given his daughter only really ever got in touch with him to take his money and is culpable in the abuse of her father in his final months, I don't exactly believe her.

"No one could have treated my father worse than Disney!"
Except you, J.C.

Inzo2336d ago

@Pimpdaddy
Its not fake news, Stan Lee's daughter really did go after Disney and Marvel. She criticised them for the way they treated her farther.

ShadowWolf7122336d ago (Edited 2336d ago )

@Inzo she literally abused him and took his money so her opinion ain't relevant.

They should have grabbed Insomniac ever since they made Spyro, or at the very latest Ratchet & clank. Not to mention that they helped IMMENSELY with the launch of PS3 with Resistance..Man we need a Resistance 4 now, like ASAP.

PhoenixUp2337d ago

They did but Insomniac declined their offer multiple times prior because they valued their independence

UltraNova2337d ago (Edited 2337d ago )

Everyone values their Independence...at least until the right number is written on check that its. Case in point - Bungie leaving MS then "partnering" with the Devil incarnate Activision, Ninja games was particularly vocal about their Independence then sold to MS and of course Insomniac now. To be fair to Insomniac though they were synonymous with PlayStation it just took them a while to realise it was their natural home and get aboard, of course a big fat check paved the way, as with everything.

Atom6662337d ago

It probably would have been cheaper. Good for Insomniac though.

Teflon022337d ago

from what ted price has said in the past. It seems Sony attempted multiple times and I believe even before they bought Naughty Dogg or even the same time. But they decilined, after the Universal issue they wanted to stay independent. With all that they've tried since the multiplat attempt. I think they realize, staying with Sony helps them express how they like while getting support and being successful

Einhander19712337d ago

Sounds like a few bitter ones commenting. Now Sony have insomniac that’s another nail in the Xbox coffin😂😂

bluebenjamin2337d ago

Boy aint 😂 nobody worried about Spyro the Dragon 😂 😆 😂

MasterCornholio2337d ago (Edited 2337d ago )

Well of course that's because Activision owns the IP and are free to bring it to other platforms.

Next time think before you make a silly comment like that.

@Hawk

Oops just read your comment and saw that I'm just repeating what you said. Still he did make a really silly comment.

Sevir2337d ago

You right, Activision is worried about Spyro the dragon... You Xbox fans are worried about Marvel's Spider-Man which y'all ain't getting

bluebenjamin2337d ago (Edited 2337d ago )

Boy ain’t nobody worried about no batman cloned game 😂 I like blood and guts gruesome looking videogames maybe teenagers wanna play spidey man and that yellow space bunny game Clanks Ratchet or whatever the hell they call it 😝

At hawkeye I ain’t worried about spyro because I have the ps one version on my ps3 its crazy I couldn’t download it to the pro I had.How about that Ps4 the first Sony Playstation in the history of Sony Playstation to not have the ability to run the original Playstation games.

This is all you need to know about the deal.

"Further, we believe that Sony shares a similar vision to positively impact players’ lives, their employees’ lives and the games industry at large."

Sony changed gaming forever with the first PlayStation and they've cultivated a good culture around it ever since. They've always delivered good hardware, good service and most importantly good games. Insomniac is lucky to be part of the family and Sony in turn is lucky to have insomniac.

You could say the relationship is symbiotic.

I see what you did there.
