Insomniac Games has said it’s putting the Resistance franchise to bed, confirming it won’t be making any more games in the Chimera-slaying series.
Chatting with VG247 at Southern Methodist University’s Game:: Business:: Law Summit this week, Insomniac overlord Ted Price didn’t mince his words, stating: “We won’t be making any more Resistances.”
Resistance: Fall of Man was among the first games available on PlayStation 3 back in 2006, and was followed by 2008’s Resistance 2, with the trilogy rounded off last year with Resistance 3.
The franchise also made the transition to handheld consoles, with Sony Bend’s Resistance: Retribution arriving on PlayStation Portable in 2009, and Resistance: Burning Skies due on PlayStation Vita later this year.
These days, however, Insomniac is branching into multiplatform territory, and is currently working on shoot-‘em-up Overstrike. In addition, it’s also embracing the social gaming space with Insomniac Click, though little is known on this particular business avenue at present.
“Certainly over the next couple years, we’re going to see a huge evolution in visuals in social games,” explained Price. “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.”
