Insomniac Still Developing New IPs

Now that Insomniac has found success with both the Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises, you might expect them to simply sequel the IP as long as the checks come in, staggering each title's two-year development cycle to release one game a year. But Insomniac's president Ted Price explained that such a schedule ping ponging Ratchet and Resistance wasn't the plan. Instead they intend to, "continue to produce new IP, there's no question about that."

So a new IP is coming from Insomniac in the semi far to far future? Sounds good to us.

Prototype is Crackdown on...Crack

This month, UK Official Xbox Magazine is running a story on a new game called Prototype by Radical, the same guys (and gals) who brought us Scarface, Simpson's Hit and Run and The Hulk. It was quasi-announced about a week ago, but now we have a few more details.

While we don't have loads of fancy images for your enjoyment, we do know that gamers will play a wall-running superhuman who can slice people in two, grow a shell-like shield and emit spike from the ground—all while enjoying the backdrop of New York. Thank a human-mutating virus for the need of endless mega ass-whoopings, along with the ability to absorb characteristics from NPCs. Look for the title Winter 2008 (if that tentative date holds).

We loved Crackdown. If Prototype is just more of the same, we'll be happy enough. For Xbox 360 and PS3.
