This week, we’d like to welcome Bryan Intihar of Insomniac Games into The Recap. See what the boys in Burbank have been up to at the bottom of the post.
And I’ve been out of the office (@ Comic-Con International 2008), and so haven’t had a chance to relay this information, but as many of you have asked, and some have figured out, the song from our E3 Press Conference opening montage is “Burn in My Mind” by Twenty-Four Flowers. Here’s their MySpace page if you wanna take a listen.

Hello, PlayStation world! E3 may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean things have slowed down for all of us Insomniacs. In fact, this week has been pretty crazy with Resistance 2 development going into overdrive, not to mention the recent announcement of Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty (which you can download from the PlayStation Network in the coming months).
In other studio-related news this week:
- Hopefully by now you’ve seen some footage from Resistance 2’s Chicago level, which features a massive amount of creepy creatures known as the Grims. Mike McManus, one of our gameplay programmers, recently posted a blog about working on this portion of the E3 demo and some of the differences between developing for R2 and Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD. Check it out here: http://www.insomniacgames.com/news/.
- Episode 30 of the Full Moon Show podcast is now live. We welcome back to the show Brian Allgeier, design director of the Ratchet & Clank franchise, to discuss the Q4B announcement and other E3-related topics. Also, the folks from Sony Bend join us to chat about an all-new installment in the Resistance universe, Resistance: Retribution for the PlayStation Portable (which arrives in early 2009). You can download the podcast at http://www.insomniacgames.com/podcast/podcast.php.
- The Resistance 2 beta has been quite the topic of discussion this week. As my community mate James Stevenson mentioned yesterday on various gaming websites, there will be many ways of getting into the beta. Subscribing to Qore is simply the only one that’s been officially announced. So stay tuned for more details.
- Our founder and CEO did a number of interviews at this year’s E3, but few proved to be as entertaining as the one he conducted with the HipHopGamer. Head to http://www.thebitbag.com/ to see Ted Price discuss Resistance 2’s Leviathan battle, the changes going into competitive multiplayer, and how the president of a major game studio should rock the WWE championship belt.

I like the Insomniac portion of this.
insomniac rules (just saying something to be in top 10 of the blog posts
When will we hear about exclusive RPGs? I’m tired of waiting for games that aren’t shooters for once. How about some White Knight Chronicles information? That is if the game is even coming to the US.
A pretty big week. Any more specific news on the release date of “Life With PlayStation”?
burn in my mind is such an awesome song
:);)
:) ;)
sorry nothing better 2 do 2nite
than leave pointless posts
man i need a girl friend
@Insomniac guys
About the R2 beta, What about projectabraham.com ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ydEpIf9yk ) and getawarjob.com
What do they have to do with Resistance 2. Do they have anything to do with the beta?
I spotted the PA website in the E3 press conference on g4tv footage then saw it again in the R2 trailer on my PS3 and the press conference on my PS3. so whats the deal with this? (it is a cool site by the way finding all the hidden clues and stuff)
When does the Resistance 2 beta start? I know in September, but we wasn’t given a date. Oh and for how long will it last? 2 Weeks maybe?
why does my comment say its waiting moderation?
probably because i put a youtube link. grr
OMG Best and most humorous interview I have seen in a long ass time award goes to “HipHopGamer” mad kudos to Ted Price for always being so cool and HipHopGamer for making it happen as funny and entertaining as he made it happen.
Btw, that belt, you took it to the next level with that. Top Kudos for that.
