An employee of Insomniac Games was watching Destructoid's Justin.tv channel last night and I asked him/her if they were going to reveal their multiplatform game next week. Their response: We're currently focused on Resistance and Ratchet & Clank. Deceitful!
Insomniac Games
Company »
Insomniac Games was founded in 1994, and for a decade developed titles exclusively for Sony platforms such as Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, and Resistance. In 2013 they released their first multiplatform game, Fuse, on PS3 and Xbox 360, and in 2014 released their first current-gen title, Sunset Overdrive, exclusively on the Xbox One.
Insomniac Games Revealing Its Multiplatform Game Next Week
That's Resistance 3. PS3 exclusive. Its an FPS.Based on that picture it looks like a first or third person shooter with a The Mist/Monsters vibe.
guys, it cant be Resistance or Ratchet and Clank. while insomniac came up with the ideas and made the games those are Sony owned IPs so they will never be multiplat
@ptys: except they dont, b/c as long as console manufacturers own development studios (and IPs), there will always be console exclusives

As long as companies like Microsoft & Sony give funds to developers for exclusives, they will never end. There is no better thing for a developer than to have some money secured in their pocket, specially for a new IP. Besides, I like the idea of exclusives, they create competition, and competition is good.
I think companies like Bungie & Insomniac decide to change to multiplatform because they get tired of doing the same thing. 4 Halos and 3 Resistances later, they are ready for a change, and they bet on multiplatform to make the money they loose from the exclusivity.

Yeah I like them too, but feel Microsoft is not playing it's part as PS3 gets way more exclusives. I was a bit disappointed that they let go of the Mass Effect licence to be honest. Hey, I own a PS3 but just like the idea that I paid $500 for an Xbox for some privileges.
I could go for some Insomniac platformer awesomeness. At least I hope for it. Not interested in an FPS.
I think after the PSN debacle, any third party would be nuts to tie their game to one platform. :DThe days of the console exclusive look numbered.
Resistance is not a good series, hopefully this marks the end of it.
Ratchet & Clank has been completely done to death, but the action-platformer style is still great and something the PS3 and 360 are both really lacking, so I'm hoping they come up with something similar to that, but a little more fresh.
But I'm guessing they'll go with something a bit more mature and "gritty" though. Cover based third person shooter with bald space marines anyone?

Patrick +1 for keeping us informed! My random wild guess is a racing game.
that might actually be cool. i want to see developers make something the fans would never expect, make something completely out of their comfort zone.
I fell out with Insomniac after they left Spyro to Vivendi. Ratchet and Clank never stuck with me and the Resistance games aren't very good. Hopefully they have a brighter future with multi platform development.
I only own my XBOX 360. And i wouldn't trade it for a PS3, BUT i do agree with you.@xaveri said:
