Talk Playstation 3 News

Insomnaic Games, the team behind the Resistance series has said that they intend to develop exclusively for Sony for the foreseeable future which means we can expect more exlusive titles from them on the Playstation 3.

Ryan Schneider, director of marketing and communications for Insomnaic Games said:

Sure, as an independent developer, you do consider those options – but at the same time we do have a great relationship with Sony.

We’ve been with Sony for a long, long time now, and that’s where we intend to stay for the foreseeable future.

Sony bends over backwards to work with its development teams. Their product development team is second to none – we absolutely love working with them.

Their PR and marketing folks are terrific to work with and very dedicated to the cause, and there are some very creative people there.

We feel very fortunate to have that sort of relationship in place

This is great news and reassures Sony fans that they don’t plan on leaving us.

Insomniac Games, the people behind games such as Ratchet and Clank and Resistance have confirmed that they are hard at work on a title that will be exclusive to the Playstation 3. Many feared that Insomniac would go multiplatform but as we see it, it looks like they are staying put. This information was revealed in the Los Angeles studio and noted that this is one of the best places to work,

Insomniac Games is currently developing an unannounced title, exclusively for PS3.

It’s therefore especially gratifying to earn such praise for our work culture considering the volume of activity and change we experienced. When we factor in the multitude of innovative companies populating the state this honor becomes even more humbling and special.

Any idea what this could be? Resistance 3 maybe or a totally new game?

When PlayStation offered people to vote on which cover would appear on the box art of Resistence 2, some saw their favourite not win it.

A months late(r) but still a good initiative they are now offering you to put in your own Boxart.
On the Official PlayStation Blog, Bryan Intihar Community Manager for Insomniac Games made 3 box arts available.

Just make sure you use a High Quality printer.

Here is a preview of the covers which link directly to the ‘print out’ resolution.

Head over to the official site to sign up for the public beta of Resistance 2.

I guess i didn’t get in.

Here’s 8 brand new spanking screenshots of PS3 exclusive shooter, Resistance 2.

Insomniac Games have revealed some new information on their upcoming first person shooter, Resistance 2. Basically they said that while creating the new big monster, named Leviathan, they had to think about the surrounding areas and extend the range that the engine displays. Levels are now much bigger and in scope and draw space compared to Resistance: Fall of Man.

There’s going to be new content shown at E3 that they’ve never shown before and will show 60 players online multiplayer for the first time. When they show the 60 player online mode, the players will be employee’s from both Sony and Insomniac Games from their offices, they are going to do this so they can get the numbers online.

Insomniac Games says that what you’ve already seen of Resistance 2, when the full game is released it will look a lot better.

“What you’ve seen earlier on is only gonna get better”

Cinematics are starting to be finalised and look really good. They answered a question they get asked a lot and that is; how do they do their cinematics? They build the enviroments and go down to the motion capture studios, get all the actors they need and basically act out the scene in physical space thats approximated from the enviroments they created.

Once captured they hand it over to the animators back at the Insomniac Games studio, animate their faces and hands so it works in the game. After that they add effects, enviromental effects, sound effects and export those frame by frame to make them into MPEGS, the reason they do it in MPEGS is for level load coverage. The cinematics are from the games engine but captured in MPEGs for level load coverage. To make this sound a bit simpler, it WAS in-game but is captured at the end of the day and is used as an MPEG to cover the levels loading.

“It was in-game but now its captured”

“Its the same, the user will never really tell the difference”

Thats all the information. Check out their podcast and make sure your at E3 to see brand new content in Resistance 2.

Resistance 2 will be released this fall.
