Facebook: Up Your Status

Interesting news....and a bit frightening; watching a studio like Insomniac put some resources toward FB/Mobile. Well, hopefully they bring gems to the markets dominated by Farmville and Angry Birds (as much as I love angry birds...still).

shooterexpert5564d ago

facebook games is a smart move.

Their console games arent bringing in any cash, casual games on facebook could be a big hit for them.

They should try IOS deving too.

Called this months ago. In couple of years Insomniac will begin self publishing (other then Ratchet and Resistance - I know those are owned by Sony) their IPs and won't develop exclusive games for Sony platforms. Remember my words.
They will continue working on Resistance and Ratchet for now, but if this deal with EA works, you will see them at first completely move in that direction, because like they said from now on they want to keep ownership over IPs in the future. First big third party, then self publishing.
Ted is extremely intelligent guy, and knows how to run his biz, and of course like any human being he wants to make as much money as possible and grow his biz.

Who ever doesn't see this scenario coming true in the future is either 12 yo that doesn't understand yet how world works, or some dude living in mom's basement and living on her allowance.

Insomniac deserve to have the chance to self-publish.
They've been producing top quality games for so long, but I'm sure Sony will come up with a reason to keep them, in the same way that Epic say Microsoft do with them.

Buttons5564d ago

I like how you preemptively call out and insult anyone who disagrees with you. I may agree with you, but seriously, cool it and stop being arrogant.

TBM5564d ago

everything you say makes perfect sense, and i don't even think Sony would be upset with them as they probably understand where IG is coming from.

i love IG and i'm not upset they decided to make their new IP multiplatform; if it' great like the R&C, Resistances games they have a sale right here.

"Called this months ago. In couple of years Insomniac will begin self publishing (other then Ratchet and Resistance - I know those are owned by Sony) their IPs and won't develop exclusive games for Sony platforms."

is that something you are praying for to happen?

Look while you have a viable Opinion, the point is if you have not noticed that even though they can operate how they have been they have been indie developer anyway!

Sony has never owned them, but yet Sony has a few exclusives from Insominiac. will that end?

who knows but here's a thought, why would they not make an exclusive?

Time an Time again TED has said the relationshp with development with Sony has been great for Insominac an Sony.

They have had a great working relationship, just because a company goes multiplatform with certain IP's does not mean they will not do Exclusive's.

perfect example, Epic game's.

Like i stated an IP can be owned by the developer but yet can be made Exclusive for a platform.

@Joeorc

I only have PS3, so what are you trying to say?
Just because someone uses logic and common sense, doesn't mean he/she is PS3 hater, grow up!

In complete honestly, I think the two games coming out this year for PS3 are great a great swansong of Insomniac primarily being first party for so many years. I have no issues about future multiplatform games.

joeorc5564d ago

"of Insomniac primarily being first party for so many years"

they were not.

1st party, Insominiac have always been indie from Sony. the close'st is 2nd party if anything.

helghast1025564d ago

My respect for Insomniac just dropped a couple of points :(

Luckily it's still in the "I love you guys" range :)

negroguy5564d ago

Cant blame them. I believe the company who made farmville is worth more than EA right behind Activision. Facebook gamers together tally up alot of cash.

BlueEye5564d ago

Wow really? They don't have much to beat. Facebook games suck ass.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio37d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing37d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9237d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit37d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing37d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9237d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
