Maybe the problem they are trying to address is to introduce new blood to the Unreal Engine since the amateur community behind it was bigger in the days of UT99/UT2004.

Unreal Engine 4 seems to perform pretty poorly, although it's hard to tell what's the fault of the developer, since it's probably not the most optimised game.

They did have the elemental tech demo on both the PC and PS4, so maybe that's a better benchmark for how games will look on it in the future. Has it been used for anything on the Xbox One yet?

Mature as in what redditors and "90's kids" think is mature, since that is who they're appealing to.

One of the devs on GAF has been talking about how Sony is an overall-lovely company to work under in terms of them keeping all the rights over all of your IP, all while you're expected to keep it the star exclusive at their wish, even if it means forcing an oversaturated series to get a new game of declining-originality every year. RIP in peace Ratchet & Clank

If it's stupid as poo poo in a Bulletstorm way with a revitalized Insomniac doing it, it could be cool, or suck huge cocks, I dunno if this means Insomniac is on everyone's literally-Hitler list now because they're making a Microsoft exclusive

I just meant a perceived general decline, didn't they make some failed co-op shooter a year or two ago?

They made a game that was called Overstrike at one E3 and was like a comedy co-op game, and then the next time it resurfaced it was made into a serious COD game called Fuse, that tanked and was panned universally.

Oh boy insomniac is really strutting their creative stuff with character designs like "mutant with glowy orange parts" and "bigger mutants with glowy orange parts"

On paper, an Insomniac produced third person shooter that combined the open levels, near future cartoony aesthetic, and fluid movement of Jet Grind Radio with the wacky weapons, shooting, and general irreverence of Ratchet & Clank actually sounds pretty awesome.

That trailer though, ugh. For every one "kinda cool" it got out of me there were three things that made me weep for how far the mighty have fallen.

My main complaint is how slow it all feels. Especially with the whole 'and our main focus is one thing - velocity.' voice over. After playing Infamous (the old two) Prototype (the first one) and most recently Saints Row 4, that looked really really slow and boring.

Who gives a poo poo about Nintendo? Its hard to describe just how little I care about Nintendo and their stable of 20 year old IPs. Listen to yourself, your own best case scenario is for Nintendo to keep rehashing their old properties. Their creativity well ran dry a long time ago.
