Insomniac Games Revealing Its Multiplatform Game Next Week

Finally, Achievements and Trophies living in harmony under Insomniac's roof.

I'm about to hop onto a plane to Los Angeles, but wanted to give you guys a quick heads up!

When Insomniac Games announced its decision to become a multiplatform developer last year, the studio didn't reveal a new game alongside the news. We'll finally know what game will mark Insomniac Games' move onto Xbox 360 at the Electronic Arts press conference on Monday, according to the company's Twitter account.

Speculate away! (Please don't be another shooter.)

This is not Insomniac's new game.

@Ryan:  loving the fantastic four references and everything from the bearded messiah (not will smith) of whiskey media himself and i feel and hope this game will be a departure from the resistance like game play and fps atmosphere would be a breath of fresh air to see some sort of action adventure game done by them done in the style of ratchet and clank and for the 360 it feels needed cause don't have many or any games that are really like that on the 360 so to see a company do a game like it for it will defiantly be a big step forward  
also a wishful happy birthday goes out there as well

It'll be a kart racer prominently featuring bobble heads.

I wouldn't mind a kinda light-hearted shooter comedy, like a Zombieland tone or something, and, after Ratchet and Clank, I think Insomniac could do that pretty dang well.

I hope it takes place in a free-roam waterworld like the screenshot could suggest... It won't. :(

I've gotten around to playing Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time recently, and without exaggeration, it is one of my favorite games of all time. It just looks so damned beautiful, runs buttery smooth, control like a dream, and has an actually interesting and funny story. Insomniac is an awesome studio.

Based on that picture it looks like a first or third person shooter with a The Mist/Monsters vibe.

Who gave Alan Wake a machine gun?

Was about to post this EXACT comment. Also, Alan Wake doesn't stand a goddamned chance against Galactus.

Either that or it's going to be really disappointing to find out the secret to defeating the World Eater is to shine a flashlight in his face for a while and then shoot him. Bet Mr. Fantastic never thought of that.

I really doubt that they would look into getting back into FPS considering it is a crowded market just in EA's own portfolio. 
 
I would bet that they would go back to action platforming but with some sort of twist. I wouldn't be totally surprised if they were at the Microsoft conference considering there is speculation that Bungie will be at Sony's. 
 
They may try to perfect "parkor" style of gameplay but with their twist, whatever that is. I sort of think they got shafted by Sony just because Killzone got much more marketing than Resistance but it wasn't that much to begin with.

It's going to be a goddamn action-platformer, but also a role-playing game. I'm going to call it right here.

I'm okay with it being a shooter as long as it's more like Ratchet and Clank than Resistance.

Whatever it is, keep insomniac away from first person perspectives.
 
Something about an FPS that makes insomniac throw out all their creativity.

Is that some sort of robot spider in the background? My brain interprets images shrouded in fog oddly.

Just 360? No PC love? I would love to see them bundle all the Ratchet and Clank games and put them out for everyone.That's one series I always wanted to get into, but sadly I didn't when they were new and I don't like to start in on series half way through and it's just too much of a pain trying to find the old games. So I doubt I will get to play the games unless they do a bundle/remake.
