Awesome video, and nice to see a top tier game come out in the summer for once! Well, assuming it doesn't get delayed, but Insomniac seems to be pretty good about that kind of thing.

That video was awesome, you can see the employees really seem to enjoy working for the company. Sony probably tosses some incentives to the team also for helping make some of the best games the company's console can offer.

Anyway what I really want is for someone to tab that song, hes playing pretty simple chords but it sounded great, especially the scratching parts but very hard to follow with so much happening on the camera.

I've known these guys rock for a while, and I've applied several times for positions I'm not really qualified for just for that 1 in a million chance!

Some day, they will know the greatness that is me! And they will give me catering every Friday as tribute!

Listen to their podcast, it's a bit long at 2 hours usually, but is quite good.

Level 5... it'd be funny if they could do a cross company deal with them to put Ratchet or Hale in WKS.

My guess is 0708 is in reference to July 8th, which is important because July 8th 1947 was the date a UFO crashed landed in Roswell NM.

no thanks guys, the pedophiles at my local 7-11 are also hiring, so if I feel the need, i'll give them a call.

Sure the pay's not as good, but there's only 4 of them and there's at least 60 of you!

I've been saying this everywhere but no one is trying to listen. Do i not exist in this damn world?

Anyways, the whiteboard says the following:

Top ten things about R2 that we can't reveal publicly:

1. Level 5 reveals that Hale is lactose Intolerant
2. Chimeran Jerky Licensing Deal (lol wtf?)
3. Dancing Hybrid Manigame :P
4. Project Abraham is real
5. Anything about (???????)
6. 12 New Chimeran Enemies
7. 07/08
8. Hybrids wear pants due to tougher (????)
9. Swifton Blade
10. Dynamic Moustache System (????)

Can't read it properly (thus ??? on some phrases that i skipped) but thats the best i could get.

mishakoz — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:07:45 MST

@Kj719: I interned at Insomniac, i know some of these guys personally. Trust me when i say that you can expect Resistance 2 by July, it wouldnt surprise me at all. The development Team is huge, they have been working on this game for at least a year and a half perhaps, and they work long days. Insomniac HQ is a lot like the Google of game development. Long hours, often rewarded by perks and other stuff mentioned in the video. I think Ratchet's release date shocked everyone too, but they made it, more of less.

on a side note i noticed that they were playing the Gametrailers Ratchet and Clank review on the screen in the beginning of the video.

That song was pretty good ! I love Insomniac! This video proves that ratchet's humor is purely from their nature. The hint was kinda nice and these guys can probably pull of such great games so fast because of their great working conditions. I wish I could work there, maybe as a janitor ;)!

GDW1017 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:47:39 MST

@yournewbuddy: Wow... just wow...

Anyways, I've always had nothing but admiration for the Insomniac guys. I've listened to their Full Moon Show podcast and have played their most recent PS3 entries (finished Resistance around Jan. of '07, currently on 3rd R&CF:TOD play through) and all you get from those guys is love.

If I still had any hope at becoming a designer of some sort I'd love to work there. Hell, maybe if Insomniac needs some financial people (I currently plan to expertise in financial areas such as bookkeeping and other "Accounting" things) I could see about hooking up with them in some sort of internship.

Well, a man can dream... a man can dream...

yournewbuddy — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:34:59 MST

I was a guest there to play a Resistance tournament 2-3 weeks before the PS3 launch. It was okay, but the barbeque sucked, and then Ted Price tried to tell me that the SIXAXIS controller was better because it didn't rumble. I took personal offense to that (and the barbeque) so I left instead of playing. Then I got calls from the guy who invited me, but I didn't answer, and never called back.
