    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @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

    Screw you all, I really enjoyed the Resistance games U_U Though this fan-fiction about Alan Wake vs Galactus would admittedly make R3 a whole heap better. Put in Evil Dead's Ash Williams and you're sorted.

    Insomniac is a great developer and it would be nice to see a new platforming game, It would be great to see an evolution in that genre, this generation we have had very few of these games especially on 360(I only remember the launch title and i even forget its name, It was fun at the time but obviously not memorable), A hybrid of sorts would be great with some rpg elements as thats always nice lol, really i have no clue just blowing smoke.
     
    The screenshot does not fill me with hope, Please not a shooter, Resistence 1 was ok i enjoyed it as a launch title i got with ps3 but for some reason i hated the 2nd game, I only played it a couple of weeks back and i had to stop playing after a couple of hours and psn was down so i could not try MP as it was a rental so i sent it back.
     
    Ratchet games are fun, I wonder what this means for PS3, I know they are a big team so I assume they will still be doing PS3 games after R3, this generation i believed insomniac have spread themselfs a little thin trying to bring a title out each year, If they put a bigger team for longer on Resistence it probably would have been better.

    Wait, Insomniac could have been putting out multiplatform stuff?  I guess sony was giving them a lot of money to stay PS3 exclusive because that is amazing they chose to stay that long.  Also, why is Galactus in this game?
