Rumor: Splinter Cell: Conviction coming to PS3?Insomniac is doing something developers never do, let other companies know their secrets. In what is being called a ground breaking decision, Insomniac is releasing their tidbits instead of keeping them close-guarded secrets from the developing community.
The project at hand is going to be called, "Nocturnal Initiative." One reason for this is, "developers spend resources solving problems that have already been solved."
By doing this for the community, Insomniac expects it to allow gamers the opportunity to experience better games overall. The public site, nocturnal.insomniacgames.com will allow developers to browse in a wiki-format in order to access bits of Insomniac code.
These tools will obviously be usable with the PlayStation 3 console, but because they're PC-based, they'll more than likely be compatible with the XBOX 360 as well.

Next: PSU @ GDC -- Day 1 Wednesday was a very interesting day for Justin and I at the Game Developer’s Conference. To start the day off we had an interview scheduled with Robert Bowling, C... |
Insomniac is being very genourus right now!
First! :D
Wow, good on you Insomniac, I wish more company's took this kind of role!
gotta love insomniac's way of thinking =]
Thats how insomniac got their footholds, sharing with naughty dog, its kewl to see them continue the tradition.
Insomniac has already earned my business! EA: here you go..................learn from the pros on how to code for the PS3!
OMG! isnt this what thier R&D page is for, just a little less organized?

If I were Insomniac, I sure wouldn't have done that. If Nocturnal was developing a game exclusively for the PS3, then maybe I would have, but if they are going to be developing for the 360.... NO WAY. If Nocturnal needs some help with development or tips they can go beg Bungie or someother no-name developer for the Xbox 360.
wow. awfully nice of them, i hope it pays off well!
same (agree with loakers)
Far seye, Do you live in Cali?
Hopefully this will lead to better PS3 games.
helping devs develope in a better and more productive way... all for us gamers.. thax INSOMNIACS!!!!!
Insomniac are just to kind to us all. Good on 'em. If I ever meet one, I'll buy them a beer.
totally agree with redrider. Insomniac could show EA a trick or two
@TechM
You took the words right out of my mouth.
psn id: gingo... this just proves that insomniac are a great company that just want epic games to be made and are not bothered whether people use their techniques or not
good, maybe with this EA will start making better games for ps3
I don't think Insomniac is giving up any critical information at all. They're not giving away secrets of there game engine just how to stream game assets on and off the spu's effeciently which can chew up a lot of man hours if you don't know what your doing. Big up's to Insomniac and whatever you guys are doing don't stop as us PS3 owners are reaping the benefits!!
Wow, very generous of Insominiac. I would've been greedy with that technology..
