Resistance 4 Proposed By Insomniac, Approval Denied

Insomniac Games' Ted Price reveals a missed opportunity: Resistance 4. In recent retirement interviews, Price confirmed that a Resistance 4 pitch was developed but ultimately rejected due to "timing and market opportunity." Despite this, he expressed the team's strong desire to continue the series, highlighting the rich alternate history and untapped potential of the Chimera storyline.

The Resistance series, a trilogy of PlayStation 3 first-person shooters, diverged from Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank franchise to explore an alternate 1950s setting featuring an alien invasion of the UK. Following the Resistance trilogy, Insomniac shifted focus to projects like the Marvel's Spider-Man series and newer Ratchet & Clank installments.

Price's retirement announcement earlier this year marked the end of his 30-year tenure. Chad Dezern, Ryan Schneider, and Jen Huang have been appointed as Co-Studio Heads. Insomniac's recent releases include the PC port of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, with Marvel's Wolverine slated for future release.
