The Last of Us looks amazing. It's good to see Naughty Dog maturing as a developer, but I still wish they had the rights to Crash Bandicoot...

Insomniac is walking away from the Resistance franchise:

Yet they continue to make Ratchet and Clank games... Go figure.

Ratchet and Clank sell better and do better all around. Except for All 4 One which sold well but is pretty bad.

Resistance is average and could either do better or worse from this dev change.

What in particular is wrong with All 4 One?

And Resistance could have become the next Halo or Call of Duty if Insomniac had put enough effort in the series.

No it couldn't have. Resistance is one of the many FPSs out there that "could have been" something. But they're not.

And All 4 One was boring and the co-op was bland. Nowhere near as good as Tools of Destruction. But that's not saying much.

I disagree with you guys: Resistance is exactly what it's meant to be. It's a series that was always meant to be unique and stand apart from the rest, while appealing to the hardcore shooter fans with it's high difficulty and crazed weapons. The games have a fantastic story line - rare in FPS games - and Insomniac Games used an old gameplay style to fit the era that the games are set in.

I think it's great that Insomniac is stepping away from the series. The reason that so many of these great developers get bogged down and/etc. falling off (e.g. Bungie, Bizarre Creations, etc.) is because their stuck in doing the same thing over and over. New IP's allow developers the freedom and excitement that they had when the brought us the series that make them big in the first place.

no bungie is done from halo. Mircosoft opened 343 as a studio only for halo made up of former Bungie (the whole kestrel team and a good chunk of the mutiplayer guys), former retro staff (lead designer and a couple of artist from the prime games), some former naughty dog, ninjas theory, and epic guys.

@slapshot

what when has bungie been bogged down. even the worse of the halo games (halo 3 story and reach mutiplayer) are usually alot better than whatever else is on the market.

also all 4 one was made by a new studio so that may be a reason why it wasn't as good as questy for booty or crab k in time.

@shingi_70 Oh, I'm not saying that the Halo games suffered at all, but Bungie left because they as a team were tiring of the Halo franchise - bogged down - and wanted to venture on and grow as a team once again. Regardless of how much they love the Halo franchise, after all these years of developing the same game, with minor improvements from one game to the next - Microsoft's doing - it isn't hard to fathom that they'd get burned out on the franchise.

I can't wait to see what Bungie will come up with next!

After playing through the single player demo on PSN, I realized that Killzone 3 is actually pretty good And has some of the prettiest graphics I've seen on the system so far.

I was thinking about getting that game.

I didn't give Killzone 3 a perfect score for nothing! In all my published reviews I've written, I've only given two perfect scores: Limbo and Killzone 3.

Killzone 3's opening paragraph in my Killzone 3 review is the best opening I've ever written.

So about that big PlayStation surprise you mentioned the other day... Care to give us any hints?

Just beat metal gear solid (on my psp). Sooo epic! Time for mgs2 now!

Courtesy of Konami I've spent most of this weekend (when I haven't been watching tennis) playing Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

And, while the only game that looks good in HD is Snake Eater, freaking hell that's a good value game pack.

I have heard alot of good things about Limbo but never played it.

@Slapshot

So about that awesome PlayStation surprise you were going to tell us...

So epic? You have to tell me on PS3 what your reactions were to all the awesome moments! I will reply with a wall of text and smiley faces!

Hehehe.... Um, sure: February 3rd.

What?
