Well lets see, the last one didn't recoup its budget as per the Insomniac leaks and the director just got a new job. Game seems like an easy cut to me if Sony is looking to control costs.
wait, what? they recouped it and made it profit from the game. did we miss something?

Ratchet costed 75 million no? I find it hard to believe it failed to recoup it's budget but stranger things have happened. Either way I doubt they will cancel a Ratchet game lol.

Some people only recall the initial slide which was a internal projection:

The initial slide in the leak was a projection from Insomniac from before the game came out.
Considering that it lowballed Morales/SM2/Rift Apart, one would have to assume that particular slide was the most conservative estimates possible(to a fault) in order to protect the health of the studio because all of those game outperformed expectations. IIRC some of these have already outsold the expected LTD already.

Ratchet and Clank:Rift Apart broke even and was a profitable game quite early on.

It’s not doom according to them.

It is us shilling for Sony.

I mean shit on Sony when they deserve it. This here is getting to ridiculous proportions.

Well, this change does suggest Wolverine is further out than anticipated. Might be a 2026 or even 2027 release seemingly. If there are any significant story reworks along with gameplay revisions, I can see that being the case.

How did you work that out?

The game could be finished which is why he left now.

wokeverine it was even before this change.
SBI and leaks confirmed it
It just never ends with you guys lol.

Anyways I still have faith in Insomniac, but turning them into a Marvel sweatshop was not the smartest move by Sony, I gotta say.

I suspect we'll see more of this happening with creatives over there eventually.

ends what?
There is no hope.
You see what insomniac started with Rift apart and continued with spider man 2.

Wolverine will be soft, will feature bad looking jean grey play sections nobody asks for in wolverine game and it was 100% confirmed to be SBI game.
That said, I enjoyed rift apart A GREAT deal. I don't feel any pull towards spdier man and this though
