Where is Sucker Punch?

Insomniac is bigger than sucker punch. They're also independent so need to put out games to make money.

They don't have the luxury SP has.

SP just needs to fill out the PS4 catalog so they have more leeway. The benefits of being a 1st party.
 
I don't know but I am looking forward to their next game. inFAMOUS: Second Son and First Light blew me away. Loved those games.
 
btw, they're are still hiring people. this was posted about month ago:

Whatever it is that they're working on I'm ready. I love what they do.

Perhaps Sony is allowing them more time this time since they had to rush Second Son to have something out after PS4 launched.

So wasting their time huh. Spider Man is the only Marvel super hero that matters. They'd be better off making another inFamous game then.

You're right. Give me a new IP or a much more fleshed out inFamous sequel involving Cole & Delsin. I honestly think they will be shown at PGW. Gives them a few extra months of time to make a demo since they're slightly behind Sony Bend in development, and they have more free space to shine.
 
I enjoyed imfamous second son but I hope they are trying something new . They definitely have a nice looking engine but the openworld part was really boring , so hopefully they can improve on that area .

They were rumored to be developing Spiderman, Insomniac is the developer and they also made in the same period:

Sunset Overdrive (XBO)
Ratchet and Clank (PS4)
Song of the Deep (Multi)
Edge of Nowhere (VR / Oculus)
Spiderman - brand like Rockstady's Batman not just one game (PS4)

what is Sucker Punch doing?

Edit:

I'm not comparing between the studios but just giving a perspective of the period.

They might be planning for a big reveal of their next new game. Lets hope for a PSX showing later this year. If they can somehow bring back Cole McG back to a brand new Infamous game like a sequel for 2(omg) or even a new superhero themed ip or new ip/new genre, it would be GREAYT
 
At least Suckerpunch isn't Team Ico, who couldn't get one new game finished in an entire console generation.

I really hope Suckerpunch is working on another Infamous, but probably not. :(
 
Knuckling down on their new project hopefully. Let them announce it when it's good and ready to be shown, lest we get another underwhelming reveal a la Days Gone.

Delsin put me off another Infamous if hes the main character - Id be ok with a new IP that has similar ideas as Infamous though. I:SS just wasnt fleshed out enough and very much felt a launch window game...

They've been doing inFAMOUS since 2009, 4 games + DLC in 7 years.. I think that's enough. Not to mention, as a open world game it never delivered in terms of content and variety and the same applies to the bad / good system. Traversal, powers and graphics keep improving but that's pretty much all of it.
I'd like them to try something else now.
 
Can't believe people want them to make their 4th (techniclly 6th) Infamous game in a row. I mean, I love Infamous but it's time for something new.
 
They released two projects in 2014 and are likely working hard on a significant new IP. Just relax and let them do their thing! It isn't like there's a shortage of Sony first party games in the next couple of years,

I didn't hate Delsin all that much, in fact his story from start to finish was pretty good. His douchiness got people killed, but that was part of his arc.

I wonder if the negative reaction to him was mostly because he wasn't as good of a character as Cole. I mean, even though I didn't hate him, he was nowhere near as good of a character as Cole was.

Now Fetch was a fantastic character. The next game could follow her character more.

Yup.

They can still get back to the franchise, doesn't mean it's dead or forever buried.

It's just time for something different.

I think 3 games and 2 expansions spread out within 2 generations is enough... Especially when there's only one really good game out of the bunch (2nd) and the others are OK.

It would help them to work on something fresh IMO (like when they left Sly, like ND working on TLOU, Guerilla working on Horizon, Insomniac working on non-R&C games etc). Then, if they go back to it, it will deliver again (see UC4, R&C).
 
Why are people being so petty about grammar or whether or not First Light was DLC? Who cares?

Anyways, I suspect Sucker Punch could have had something ready for e3 but Sony didn't need them.

I think they will either open or close psx this year.

For grammar, no one's being a dick. It's good to settle on the right way to say things.

For First Light, it's relevant. The more that you can argue that Sucker Punch has made a lot of Infamous games, the more you can argue they should move on. Whether or not First Light is a full game or small side project is important.
 
Probably a new IP if its taking this long to be announced. Looks like Sony gave most of their studios a shot at a new IP this gen.

Sony allowed an AAA game with Robot Dinosaurs and primitive humans, be creative Sucker Punch.
 
I thought Sucker Punch would making new Spider-man game, but Insomniac is doing that.

I hope they're making sequel of Infamous second son. Second son is one of the successful first party game of this generation.

They seem to use generations as a point to give devs a chance to explore the capabilities of the hardware and new IP - just look at what they were working on before/after PS3 launched.

Its only GG and PD that didnt

Sucker Punch is working on "The Sentinel". New futuristic cyborg action-adventure. Well maybe. Pixelopus is also working on something new.
 
Probs new Infamous game.

I don't expect to hear anything from them for 2 years. Next year would be pushing it and be very early for any sort of game announcement IMO.

"enough" in what sense of the word? there are video game franchises with over 10 installments.
Especially when there's only one really good game out of the bunch (2nd) and the others are OK.

...well that's subjective. i think the only really good title was the original, and the others were okay to good. but i first said that this franchise has a lot of potential.

i think it would be fine if they started working on something new but i would also totally be warm to the idea of another infamous game. that'd be worth it just as much.

yeah i wasn't too fond of delsin and his game had a few other issues but it overall was still a good to okay game, in my opinion. the infamous series has the potential to be great in my opinion, it has not reached its full potential like some would argue uncharted or halo has.

when you say enough, what exactly do you mean? there are video game franchises with much, much longer lifespans. and it's true that it never fully delivered as much as other open world games, but it can. i think the infamous franchise can go much higher if sucker punch decided to do it again and put a lot more into it.

infamous second son was not only the first infamous game this gen but the first product sucker punch worked on this gen. there's only going up from there. but i would also be okay with them doing a new IP.

EDIT: sorry for double post.

Its barely been 2 years since Second Son shipped. And they are probably working in a new inFAMOUS game.

Barely 2 years? It's like comfortably over 2 years.

Whatever it is, I am really very excited for it. As long as there's no zombies. As long as they keep focusing on what they're great at, I have high hopes.

EDIT:

Insomoniac is a 5-team studio (according to Colin Moriarty). Sucker Punch is a one-team studio. They had 80 people as of a couple years ago. They are not a big studio in terms of AAA development.

As of now there are 99 employees according to LinkedIn, and that's never 100% accurate or up to date, but they've got 10 more open positions.
