Uncharted 2: What Does Insomniac Think?

October 30, 2009 in News comments 7

Most of us have had a chance to play Uncharted 2 by now, and most of us can agree that its an excellent game. But what do other game developers think? Insomniac, for one, is of the opinion that Uncharted 2 is a stunning masterpiece of story telling and immersion.

"It's stunning," said Insomniac senior community manager James Stevenson.

"It seems to have an incredible sense of storytelling and adventure. The way the game looks is amazing. The density of the environments and the props and the interactions you can have with those items, from a game development perspective, is just absolutely mind-blowing."

So impressed is Insomniac with Uncharted 2, that it wants to swap PS3 development notes with Naughty Dog.

"I'm glad we're friends with those guys, so we can find out how they did it!," Stevenson said. "I'm happy for them. They deserve all the success in the world. The first game was a victim of the PS3's installed base at the time. It did well but it could have reached a much larger audience. This one's getting an audience it deserves."

    An Insomniac/Naughty Dog game done together would be nothing short of epic. Wish they would do something like that, both are amazing developers with tons of great titles under their belts. Resistance, Rachet & Clank, Uncharted, Jak and Daxter.

    Would be awesome.

      I think Naughty dog has proven to be quite more talented in their games then Insomniac has in the past few years. I dont see how Insomniac could really give enough benefit to ND to warrant a cooperation in games.

        That's an opinion, they make very different games, even the Ratchet and Jak games are very different from eachother, especially Resistance against Uncharted. It really depends on your taste, I dont think either company is better, just different.

          The fact that Insomniac are working on two different franchises at once and release a game every year also doesn't help.

          Yes, the games they make are very different. I for one enjoy Insomniac's games more, generally speaking. Though Naughty Dog makes games I love too.

          The way I see it, Insomniac and Naughty Dog are two of the best devs out there. Not only for their games, but also how much they actually THINK of their fanbase instead of always putting the mighty dollar first.

    Insomniac already work closely with Naughty Dog. Nobody else notice that Jak & Daxter are (Sort of) residing in the same universe?

    They make references about one another's activities, some weapon history's feature nods to the other game's weapons (Example it may say it's an adapted version of a weapon in the other game) and the fact that you can play as Rachet in Jak X & Jak in Rachet: Gladiator? (Or whatever you call it in the USA)

      Also, In R&C 2 they copy the movement of when Jak finds a power cell in the first game. With the same music.
