Insominiac Games Tease

The Return of Ecco the Dolphin

Did they have a mobile studio? I remember they were working on Facebook games for a hot minute.

Either way, this brief teaser does say "mobile/facebook" to me, but, it's hardly anything to really go on.

I believe they opened a studio in North Carolina to develop mobile/facebook/smaller games. It's the vibe I got from the teaser.
 
Something very specific about this art style looks like a mobile game to me, but I can't quite pin down what it is. Really hope that's not the case, though: I love Insomniac's stuff. Water Resistance seems out of the question here, unfortunately. One of these days I'll get that Xbox One just to play Sunset Overdrive!
 
That's some good lookin' art. That music tracks pretty good too. I'm looking forward to whatever this is (as long as its not on mobile), kinda hoping its a 2D platformer though.
 
Always glad to see more from Insomniac. : )

Underwater levels on games tend to give me a really uneasy/dread type feeling for almost no reason at all.

Interested to see what this is though.

Did you play Sonic or Ecco? Pretty sure everyone from that generation developed a fear of water levels because of those games.

Yup. Also NES turtles - though I must have been fairly sadistic as a child, I always quite enjoyed diffusing the bombs and didn't really have too many problems with it haha.
 
How come? PS4 is sorely lacking in them.

I've got plenty more 2D platformers on PS4 than 3D.

I'm pretty tired of 2D platformers in general, been done to death by the indie scene for the last few years, would rather see a return to 3D.

Might not even be a platformer though, just worrying over a teaser.
 
Uhh.. there are plenty.

There are? Exclusive to PS4? Not trying to be disingenuous, just can't think of many.

Where you getting this game coming to the ps4?

Just assuming it's for consoles but I have no evidence for that assumption. Just sheer speculation.

I hear ya. I just meant on PS4, for some reason I thought this might be console or PS4 exclusive. But again I have absolutely no basis for this. (If it's not mobile, it probably is multiplatform.)
 
....I couldn't of been the only one to think "This sounds atmospheric like Spyro". This looks amazing; the visuals ripped right out of a Ubi Art Engine title, the music sounding like Spyro, and it seeming so interesting.

I wonder if this will be a 2D side-scroller coming out on everything (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo) that has swimming mechanics as the main focus.
 
yeah I think this is either mobile, internet or VR

their next game won't likely be announced until they're done with R&C.... same thing when they were doing SSO
