What? Both their games came out in the same year as TLOU2z

ND has actually put out something more recently than both of them.
Oh yeah, sure, that 5th remake.

Wow Impressed, I wasn't expecting 90s, will drop over time I know but well done insomniac, keen to get my hands on it.

I was told by gaf that they are lazy devs though 🤷‍♂️ so who knows I guess we'll see (obviously being facetious)

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Curious since I don't have this game rental service in my region - how much does it cost to rent a $70 game day 1?

They have different tiers, the one I'm on is like $20 a month for 3 months for 'new' accounts (I have spoofed a 'new' account a few times so far and haven't had an issue lol).

I just re-up in windows when there's a bunch of games coming out, good time to get some other recently released games that I don't plan to buy but still interested in playing.

Really really really drives home to me how far Naughty Dog has fallen. Insomniac is now undisputed best studio Sony has, and the industry GOAT for pushing technology.

RT at 60fps, seamless loading, and all this visual fidelity in open world ?

All without crunch or 7 year development cycles.

THIS should be the standard.
So you have chosen violence.

ND has not released anything yet, they have a tendency of ending generations. It may be wise to hold off until you see what they mean.

Thanks for the deets. Sounds like a very sweet deal you've gotten there lol.

To be fair, I was right. Aside from minor tweaks it looks roughly the same. I think the only thing that improved from the trailer is VFX now showing up in RT reflections. It's not a massive leap over Miles in graphical fidelity but it by no means looks bad, it looks great actually.

I'm far more impressed with how they have leveraged the streaming. That Sandman fight looks amazing. Friday can't come soon enough.

Xbox, specifically Phil, gets plenty of pot shots, but no I don't think we've seen people dunking on an Xbox studio for not releasing a game in three years

Edit: I literally in the halo using unreal 5 for the next title posted they need to just shelf halo for a decade and give us a new gears game. Others responded asking where is the next gears title.

Beyond good and evil 2 was constantly asked on where the hell is it. Edit: Oops thought this was an exclusive for some reason . Can ignore.

Lots of other examples. Like vaporware blade walking simulator for 4 Hours part 2: senua no gameplay edition .

I'm no saying there's something wrong, but Insomniac is the only PS studio who proven to work on a consistent way with multiples teams. And yeah, Insomniac is a exception, because of that I think Sony need to replicate that in their others studios.

I don't want to wait 5/6 years for a game from Naughty Dog.
Insomniac Games most likely has 2-3 teams.
Ratchet & Clank 2015 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart 2021. 6 Years
Marvel's Spider-Man 2018 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2023. 5 Years

I don't get why you guys say Insomniac output of games are fast.

They put out an entire other game besides those… and a remaster + DLC. And Wolverine is two more years out at most.

They are obviously incredibly efficient when it comes to output.

Lots of studios have multiple teams. They just fail at the multiple teams part and they end up sucking up each others resources anyway

ND and most big studios have multiple teams lol. The issues stem that generally one team makes great games and others make “eh” games. Even then, they all represent the company as a whole, so we a consumers just want quality products in a reasonable time frame.

This 6-8 years to see a new ND title or any studio for that matter is absurd and needs to die out.

Ratchet & Clank (2016)
Spider-Man (2018)
Miles Morales (2020)
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart (2021)
Spider-Man 2 (2023)

They released 5 high quality games in 7 years. They have a similar number of employees to other large studios such as Naughty Dog, 343 Industries etc.

Ubisoft Quebec/Ubisoft Toronto have 600+ employees and release less games. I'm not sure what examples you could use that release more high quality games in the same period with a similar number of employees. Even the CoD developers are on 3-year schedules to pump out the next one of those.

Yeah, Insomniac and From are the two most productive studios on the planet. Naughty Dog has nothing on them right now.

Because its always funny when the "Well acthually...." guy steps in :messenger_grinning_smiling:
Very much. Of course it's not zero, verbatim, but the point should be obvious. It's near instant loading.

Cool, so like Naughty Dog then? Their last release was in 2022 (if we don't count the PC release of Remake). Now, again, can we please move beyond this bullshit?

You can also add Sunset Overdrive, which is really solid, to the mix. That's 5 games and 1 large DLC in 9 years.

So why was Phil so excited to have the most powerful console if absolutely fucking nothing was in the pipeline to show off that power? The most impressive game by far on Xbox is still FS 2020.
