Developer Insomniac is currently hard at work on PS4 Exclusive Ratchet and Clank. Besides their work on Ratchet & Clank the developer is also known for Xbox One Exclusive Sunset Overdrive.
In recent tweets the developer tweets about the development on Ratchet & Clank and has something to say about Sunset Overdrive
Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."
It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though
Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces
Does it still hold up in 2024?
We've still got a few months to go, but October marks the 10-year anniversary of this Insomniac Games title, with the developer having since moved on to work on the Marvel's Spider-Man games for PlayStation. It was assumed that Sunset Overdrive might make its way to other platforms eventually, but that hasn't happened as of yet.
So beloved that it sold so well that there's a sequel and Insomniac never had the opportunity to go back to Sony to develop games exclusively for Sony.
Not beloved enough for Xbox owners to buy it apparently, Xbox was the worst possible audience for that game.
Insomniac: “We went with Microsoft because we want to own the IP so it’s ours”
Microsoft: *owns publishing rights preventing the studio to re-release the original game, make a remaster, remake, any DLC, massive expansions and multiple sequels on other platforms*
The logic is just…I never got it
Owning the IP was Insomniacs main defence when they announced they were making a game exclusively for MS and yet they’ve ended up “owning” an IP they can’t do anything with.
If they went with Sony like normal you might have seen a sequel by now.
Sadly this may never get the proper fps update it deserves on XB (or even PS) but I now play it on steam and it definitely feels better at 60fps than it did at 30. Its a fast paced game... you need that 60fps in this one.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
I can't wait to see gameplay! And since this is Insomniac, I have no worries.
hmmm. Could this have a surprise release this year? It likely could have.
I'm hoping last guardian will be another surprise too.
Let us see the greatness as well Insomniac.
Not going to let Sunset Overdrive die? I smell a PS4 release.
Wonder how big Insomniac must be now to juggle two series at once. The first Ratchet & Clank's a mess and I'm glad they're overhauling it – it deserves to be a brand new-game and honesty, a great Ratchet & Clank game would be my number one reason to buy a PS4, remake or not. Sunset Overdrive's a barrel of fun, but I miss the buddy duo that defined Insomniac for so many years.
Sunset Overdrive just doesn't have the identity yet to get behind, but it sure felt more like a Ratchet & Clank game than All For One did. Maybe an open-world Ratchet & Clank game is in order?
