That's never been how Sony runs things. They've always given their consoles a lot of support even when they're launching a new console. Insomniac even released what's widely regarded as the best Spyro game in the same month as the PS2's release.
Sony wants their platforms to have long tails, and one of the ways they achieve that is by continuing to support their old consoles.
Well, that's promising I suppose.

I just saw the tweet as well. Allgeier wasn't involved in A4O or FFA, correct? If he's on this one, that speaks volumes of its potential quality.
Kind of my feeling, too.
PS4 version would have:
1) Higher Resolution
2) Better Frame Rate
3) Superior Controller to play the game
Yep. As mentioned, it's also a perfect family type of game to keep pushing PS3 sales while the PS4 is being introduced. I expect a couple of more PS3 games in the same style, maybe LittleBigPlanet.
Also I might me crazy but as far as the Jak crossover theory is concerned that portal thing really reminds me of the time travel device from the precursors you see at the end of Jak & Daxter/beginning of Jak II.
To reiterate for a new page jstevenson has said this person is not an Insomniac employee.

No VITA love
If you want a direct comparison of:
Independent developer - exclusive retail game next gen - exclusive retail game for another publisher current gen. That would be hard to find I think.
But similar situations:
Q-Games made Starfox 64 DS and and the Pixel Junk Games (Then exclusive to PlayStation) at the same time.
Level - 5 Make exclusive games for multiple platform but they are a publisher as well as being an independent developer
yeah now all we have to hope for is a game that's well-designed and a joy to play. fuck my life.

Yeah, but we don't know what the 20 titles are though. I hope and expect great things, but I'm also a little bit scared that most of them are not going to be something worthwhile. A next gen PS4 Ratchet game would be a good start keeping the momentum till launch.

Then explain why Insomniac's new IP is exclusive to the Xbone.
All I have to go on is Wikipedia, which doesn't list AFO or FFA in his credits.
SubHD resolution killed it for me. It was so blurry. Amazing game, though. They also said that was their last 60fps, and FFA was STILL SubHD despite it being 30fps. I don't have faith for this.

I am aware that the NC studio isn't as "up to par" as the main one when it comes to R&C. Do we know which one is working on Overdrive?
money can be exchanged for goods and services.

Shit, I was already dreaming of what a PS4 ratchet game would look like
I guess that also means it will take a while for us to see one.
If it's on PS3, it would probably release this year; if it's on PS4, I wouldn't count on it coming out till next year. Probably around October.

Because MS is Publishing it? What other explanation is there?

But surely that massive install base on the Xbox 360 could be put to good use while the Xbone gathers it's own install base.

The PS3's future line up is just ridiculously good.
Welp, that's that then.

According to JStevenson, Overdrive is largely being worked on by the FUSE team in Burbank, which was also responsible largely for Resistance. I should note that Insomniac's dev structure is a little different than most studios. I remember Ted Price saying that they always have a "splinter" in their Burbank offices that works on preproduction for their next project while the bulk of their studio works on their current project. Then once the main team ships their game, the two groups switch roles.
So most likely, the Burbank office would be the one behind Overdrive, unless they overhauled the way they make games since the R&C/Resistance alternation period of their history. Hopefully that doesn't mean Insomniac NC is developing this new game, but it seems like the most likely scenario, even with Allgeier involved.

Sony showed the Vita some R&C love, they left a shitty port of FFA on the doorstep, set it on fire, then ran =/

I never said it was was MS' IP. It's still only on Xbone.

Yup. 999 wasn't 720p on the DS and that's the sole reason why Heavy Rain and TWD are better games. I know you will agree with me

Right now, a new Ratchet would immediately more enticing than FUSE or Sunset Overdrive.
We've seen FUSE and hardly seen anything on SO.
Hardly boring when the mainline Ratchet entries have all be good-great.
PS4 as good as confirmed.

Because there have been five R&C games for the PS3 so far (and I'm not even counting the R&C HD collection or PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale).
ACiT was 60 frames.....

To be clear all I ever heard was that insomniac was working on a ratchet game for the ps3. I didn't really dig. Could it include other characters? Sure. Could it come to the vita or ps4? I guess, but neither was mentioned to me. But i also heard about this a few months ago, shit changes.
Gonna be in a meeting at work for a couple hours so I'm not pulling an intentional disappearing act now. I don't really have anything else to add though. That's all I know.

This. Plus it would be really cool to see a PS4 Rachet and now would have been a perfect time.
Looking forward to the game though.
Yeah. He even changed his bio to remove the "I work for Insomniac" part.
Considering the FPS space grew more and more competitive, and Resistance 2 / Resistance 3 Beta bugs really crushed a lot of hope for that series...I think it's fair to say that's an apples to oranges comparison.
