Speaking to consumer site VG247 at the Game::Business::Law Summit recently, Insomniac CEO Ted Price has confirmed that the developer will no longer work on the Resistance game franchise and will instead leave it up to other developers to continue the series.

Price’s comments to VG247 were very final:

“We won’t be making any more Resistances.”

To the point, as always.

As far as El33tonline is concerned, the last Resistance game from Insomniac, Resistance 3, was by far the best of the series and a contender for top game of 2011, so it’s a little disappointing that the franchise creators won’t be going forward with new entries.

Instead, Insomniac will focus on the studio’s upcoming four-player shooter Overstrike, while work will continue on the recently unveiled social and casual games division, Insomniac Click, which aims to create “deep worlds, rich stories, [and] accessible gameplay” in the online games space.

Speaking further on what Insomniac Click will be busying itself with and focussing on, Price said:

“Certainly over the next couple years, we’re going to see a huge evolution in visuals in social games. It’s thanks to improving technologies. It’s thanks to browsers that are getting better and more powerful. It’s thanks to development teams – core traditional game teams who are moving into the space.”

Thanks VG247 - look forward to the site’s continued talks with Price in the coming days discussing a variety of interesting topics regarding the company’s future.
