Another one bites the dust. Good for them I guess.
Good for them getting money, but I hope this doesn't affect either of their excellent Playstation franchises.
Man...imagine if somehow Resistance went multi. That would be nuts.

I wonder what type of game they're developing. I've enjoyed their shooters, their platform games not so much.
As long as they don't start porting to the PS3 I'm happy.
So the Xbox will get Ratchet and Clank now I guess.
So many of them are doing partnerships latley.

The Ratchet and Clank IP is owned by Sony. Pretty sure Resistance is aswell.
God I hate that.
This was obviously coming at some point.
Also to clarify for some, they have stated like a bajillion times already they will still be making their PS3 exclusive series and that they still will be only on PS3. This new IP however will be multi-plat.

This is very similar to the Bungie deal. EA publishes one new IP, and lets Insomniac Games own the IP. It won't effect any of the Sony owned IPs as Insomniac Games has two studios. Its good for them, as the IP will be a good asset, if they start getting into money problems.
