From IGN: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/107/1077373p1.html
March 12, 2010 - Overheard at the Game Developers Conference: Insomniac Games has become a multiplatform developer. The company, best known for the Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises, is allegedly creating cross-platform software for both PS3 and Xbox 360, according to a trusted source who spoke with IGN under the condition of anonymity.

Insomniac Games has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with Sony, but remains an independent studio, which affords it the right to create games for any platform should it choose. The company is based in Burbank, California. Earlier this year, Insomniac Games expanded its resources when it opened a new studio in North Carolina.

Last year, an alleged billboard advertising Resistance 3 was said to have been erected during the filming of a forthcoming feature film titled Battle: Los Angeles. Details here. Given that Sony has in the past published the series, it seems unlikely that the first-person shooter -- or, for that matter, Ratchet & Clank, also funded by Sony -- would ever appear on a competitor's console. It seems much more likely that if rumors are true and Insomniac is working on 360, it is creating something altogether new.

We contacted Sony for comment but the company was unable to respond before publish time.

Insomniac Games' president Ted Price said only that the developer does not comment on rumors and speculation.
--------------------------------

Since thier not owned by Sony, I can kinda see it happening, but with the relationship they have with Sony it seems kinda hard that they would just get up and start making games for the competition.

though it might be a fair trade ie. Bungie going Multi and this going Multi.

In before the fanboys start bashing them.

Look forward to seeing what they will release for both consoles.

You forgot Spyro (first 3 games were made by Insomniac and were what made them famous as game developers). I'm just saying, since I'm obsessed.

I'm actually very sad about this because, as you said, it most likely means they're moving onto other projects. I love Ratchet & Clank and would like to see it continue. Hopefully, they'll at least stick with platforming games because it's what they do best, and they're one of my only sources of them left.

Yeah, but I can only rarely connect my Ps3 to PSN, so I miss out on a lot of them nifty features. With my 360, I am able to connect to LIVE.

Plus, all my friends have 360s (They're the madden playing, mw2 jock type), so it would be nice to introduce them to something new.

And speaking of reviews *cough* [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.180366-Pimpin-Reviews-Dragon-Age-Origins-DLC#5302810]

I was ready for R&C on 360...Oh well. Anything Insomniac touches is gold. Remember Spyro? That was them.

Oops, sorry about that.

Y'know, it's funny: just a moment ago I was replying to a thread saying that I thought IGN was a decent videogame website. But this omission leaves me filled with fanboyish rage!!! Hey, it may be petty, but I deserve to be a fanboy of at least one thing, and Spyro (1-3) is definitely it.

Is it really reasonable to make a thread over a rumor? Anyone can make a rumor and be believed on the internet. I heard from a guy that Nintendo is going to buy the licensing rights to Metal gear, spread the word!
