Me here loves Insomniac. They are the best devs to date in my opinion. I mean really.
They pump out great games every year(or almost).
Ratchet and Clank
Going Commando
Up your Arsenal
Deadlocked
The Original(as in GOOD) Spyro the Dragon
Resistance
Resistance 2
Ratchet and Clank Future
Really, look at the metacritic scores for these games! They're maybe not 95 but there mostly high 80's-low 90's. That may not seem like much but to crank that out every year since 2003 is IMPRESSIVE.
Plus, what of this new "Nocturnal" open source project? Sharing how to code the PS3 with devs that consistantly put out great games is just showing how much they give.
Not to mention all the benefits they give to their employees. Seriously, pinpall, pizzas, massages twice a week, giant chess, I want to work there when I'm older!
Just giving props to who I feel are the best developers in the industry.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
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.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Thats coo, but before you go and try to work for them you might want to get you feet wet a little somewhere else, EA, Activision or if you can get into a Dev besides Insomniac, that will only play to your benefit in the end.
I've been in QA for about 2 years and hearing the type of quality they are after still scares me a little. Theres no doubt in my mind that I can land a Job there right now, but on the current Project I'm in, I'm currently (along with 1 other) the lead tester on the PS3 sku.
But I'm the only one on a Devkit so, yeah after this project is Over I will have about 9 months of PS3 devkit experience to go along with the rest.
So yeah get your feet wet first, then go for the Job. It honestly helps keep you motivated as well, since they will most likely treat you better at Insomniac then most Pub/Dev houses and you wouldn't want to lose your job for that reason alone.
