No More Resistance Games From Insomniac

6 Comments 7 Votes 402 Views 26/01/2012 Back to News


According to CEO of Insomniac, Ted Price, who told VG247: "We won't be making any more Resistances."

“Certainly over the next couple years, we’re going to see a huge evolution in visuals in social games,” Price said. “It’s thanks to improving technologies. It’s thanks to browsers that are getting better and more powerful. It’s thanks to development teams – core traditional game teams who are moving into the space.”

The studio's clearly keen to move on then, even if Insomniac writer Jon Paquette believes there's more to come from the Resistance universe. "I think it's still fertile ground", He said last September as Resistance 3 released, pointing towards upcoming Vita title Resistance: Burning Skies, which was handled by Nihilistic Software.

These days, however, Insomniac is branching into multiplatform territory, and is currently working on a new IP known as Overstrike. In addition, it’s also embracing the social gaming space with Insomniac Click, though little is known about it.

No More Resistance Games From Insomniac Comments

That's too bad. I feel that the Resistance series is probably my favorite FPS series of this generation. But I guess I shoukdnt complain because I'm against the idea of franchising game IP's and annualizing their releases so it's good that a talented developer like insomniac isn't stuck doing the same IP over and over.
After Resistance 3 unfairly being overlooked & the subsequent poor sales i'm not surprised at all considering insomniac are looking to dip their toes into multiplatform waters.

Bit of a shame really but at least they saved the best of the campaigns until the last & know when to end a series without milking it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the R3 campaign thought it was one of the best FPS campaigns I've played behind Bioshock & anyone who hasn't played it yet really should.

Meh

The resistance 3 story was so well made I'm glad they made this move. I didn't want resistance to be left with a sour taste because it did have potential to be good throughout the series but 3 was hands down the best I say for the ps3 generation
I like the Resistance series and I think it is good to end it on a trilogy, they've had 3 good games on the one console best to leave it there and not whore out the franchise like many others do.
A great series and Resistance 3 was the best 1st person shooter of the year, great job Insomniac and i will looking forward to your next
