Resistance 3 Delay is Good News for Insomniac Games
In the past year Insomniac Games has been going through some major changes. Besides going multiplatform with their North Carolina studio, the company had decided to shift to a three-year development cycle instead of their usual two. The developer recently expressed their happiness in having made this decision regarding Resistance 3.
Speaking recently with GamesTM magazine, creative director Marcus Smith expressed his team’s satisfaction when they learned that the game would be given a full extra year’s worth of development time:
“Many of us now have children, and the reality of game development is that we need to maintain the quality, so something else had to change… Extending the development cycle was the way to go. It was something we were discussing from the very beginning.”
So while a game releasing later is a bit more painful to wait for, if it means the game is not just rushed to market and then patched later then the positives of delaying a game should outweigh the negatives of doing so. Resistance 3 is currently slated for a 2011 release.

I want it now!
yeah that will help the game big time and i think is sony wanting them to show the power of the ps3 like the other IP’s are doing.
I don’t like the word DELAY
I mean … did it ever have a solid release date anyways?
I’d rather them patch and fix it up as opposed to putting out a broken game…I think everyone can agree with that.
it had no release date so how can it be delayed if there was no release date? just keep working on the game stop talking about it.
There was a general time frame given, so when they say delay it means they are simply pushing back that time frame. People take things a little too literally sometimes on the internet…
Anyway, I’m not too worried about this. I’ll wait for quality, and there’s a lot of other great stuff coming in the mean time. I have confidence that Insomniac will make this worth the wait.
lol I thought the game was coming out 2012 for a moment there since the only release date we knew for R3 was 2011 so I figured it could only be delayed if it wasn’t coming out at some point this year.
So this will be a true testament of how “well” they really know the ps3. A whole year of extra development time is a lot, and with the talent at Insomniac, I have no doubt itll be one amazing title.
Isn’t “delay” a little misleading
Lol
Semantics aside, this will help me get the 10k multi-player kills trophy in R2?
>.<
I agreed with BigWoopMagazine
I dont the game rushed with bug and half ass missing port.. I happy to wait longer. All i want is quality game.
