I’m amazed how long Insomniac has remained independent

Join the Elite Ranks, Insomiac.

Sony's Knights of the round table. lol

They really are on another level. You just don't find games like those outside of Sony first parties.

Sony has set such a high standard and keeps delivering amazing games that are embarrassing the competition's efforts or lack of.

I think everybody and their uncle is in awe at this point.

The picture shows the top three juggernauts of Sony's privately owned studios...

We all are... You can truly see the passion they have for games. Sony not only says they're for the gamers, they actually follow through.

Yeah me too!

I do wish Insomniac was a first party studio, considering how strong their bond is with Sony. They have made incredible playstation games since the beginning. I have no doubt that Spider-Man will surpass all expectations.

UC, HZD, and now GOW. Can't wait to see TLOU2 on current gen, and then there is Death Stranding... Which I know isn't "first party" but it is exclusive and using first party technology (GG's Decima Engine i.e. HZD/KZ shadowfall engine)

I think later down road.

Quantic Dreams, Kojima Production and Insomiac Games would officially join Sony's first party developers. I think this what Sony's talking about doubling down on exclusives and first party output (aka acquiring/forming more developers).

The bar has been set reall high, but here's hoping that Spiderman catches some of the Sony magic and is also a masterpiece. But with Spiderman, I'll be happy with a 90 meta score :))

This is exactly why I game solely on the PS platforms. Growing up I realized that Sony was and has continued to be supporters of innovation in the industry. Taking risks on games because it needed to be done, not to make a particular profit margin. Establishing their own first-party studios has paid dividends as they continually push the boundary of the platform and gaming as a whole. Cheers to more of this in the future!

I love that these game studios share & take notes from each other’s work, learn, and apply what they can to their games. There’s so much genuine respect amongst these developers and the work they do for their respect games. They genuinely push each other to become better & raise that bar even further.

Insomniac Creative Director Bryan Intihar - We are one piece of the juggernaut and I’m proud to be part of that juggernaut. For me we need to be at the quality and deliver at the level those other exclusive games have done.

I am in awe with the awesome non-stop quality AAA titles coming to Playstation platform.
It is good to be an owner of a PS4.

Fantastic to hear that God of War's success is inspiring to other developers, this can only mean good things, expect Spidey to be on that next level stuff too. Playstation gamers are getting spoiled like crazy.

"He said that Insomniac is trying to stay at that same level of quality."

That to me means "challenge accepted." Brace yourself, guys and gals.

I'm in awe of Sony's 1st party studios! I think most of us are!

Sony studios competing against each other.

Mentioning MS wasn’t even necessary.

The industry is very healthy right now.. So awesome sony finally got their soul back.. They were way too focused on trying to make games for the core market.. Then lost their way because their identity was fading.. They changed leadership and started doing what they do best.. Making fun games despite the fact MP shooters were the hot thing.. Now theyre dealing deathblows like a samurai wielding muramasa.. The great part is that theres A LOT more already in full development ready to omnislash anything in its way.. Detroit become human, Spiderman, Dreams, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, Death Stranding, TLoU2, etc.. Thats HUGE! E3 should be great.. Im not saying every one is going to be a hit but i do know that they mean business and the industry is forced to take notice of the level of quality

I'm coming in to this Sony lovesfest with "Yea well MS is gonna turn up at E3" before somebody else does......and they will.

And people still wonder why Sony consistently beats the competition, and is mopping the floor with MS.

People is a company's greatest resource. Actually for nations as well.

In a highly creative industry environment such as the gaming industry. It is really important to let the artist/professional game makers create the best games they know how to make. It is no different form hiring the best lawyer to defend you or getting the best doctor to operate on you.

You pay them to do something that they know best to do. You don't spend so much money for their expertise/skills/talent then proceed to dictate to them how they should do their job when they know better.

Sony gets this with their game devs and the results speak for themselves.

this is for the players.

The greatness first party studios.

What a team Sony has. While other studios are being destroyed under the management of other companies, Sony's studios are rising to a legendary elite standard.

I wish them luck and success.

"Microsoft is upping investment in that area", lmao is it just me or should of investment in that area been a 1st priority and done long ago? Has the most powerful system with the weakest lineup of games SMH.

So am I!!

Dissapointed in Ni No Kuni 2 honestly. Ready for that TLOU 2

THIS is what happens when you invest in studios and strong first party IP's. Microsoft should pay attention....instead of paying for timed exclusives.

This is how game studios should be. Not have to meet crazy early deadlines and have a ton of time to develop the game with FULL freedom of creativity. Not be full of greed, thinking of only the money when making games (such as putting in crappy microtransactions and paid dlc announced before launch). And of course just stay on the path of making amazing games that you HAVE the passion and love for.
This is why I love playstation. Very sad many studios are the opposite these days... I pray many will learn from studios like sonys first parties.

Everyone is. Why should you be different?

It's good company to aspire to. I hope you earn your place among them.

Meh... I'd still take Bayonetta 2 over any Sony exclusive released this generation. I rather like bloodborne though.

Greatness awaits, 4 the players!

Since you're with Insomniac, why not bring back the RESISTANCE franchise. Take advantage of the latest technology. That franchise was awesome!
