Wii U to See Insomniac Support? 'You Never Know,' says Ted PriceResistance developer Insomniac Games unveiled its first multi-platform title at E3 this year: Overstrike. The action game will be made available on both Xbox 360 and PS3 whenever it ships, but what about Wii U? After all, Wii U will be at least as powerful as PS3/360 and EA (which is publishing the game for Insomniac) is one of the biggest supporters of Nintendo's new system.
Insomniac CEO Ted Price revealed in a conversation with IndustryGamers that he's not completely ruled out the idea of supporting the Wii U as well.
"Since we haven’t talked about a release date, I don’t know if it’s too late or not [to bring Overstrike to Wii U as well]. You never know," he told us. "For now, what we’re talking about though is that Overstrike is going to be out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."
As for his initial reaction and that of his team at Insomniac to Nintendo's new console, he commented, "I was surprised. I wasn’t expecting a handheld controller of that size, and I wasn’t expecting a touch screen, so I think all of us saw a lot of opportunity in terms of how we could use that second screen with an HD screen at the same time."
He continued, "All of our designers and anybody on our team, I think their first thought is, 'How could we use this to enhance our games in some way?' Since every game is designed differently, there’s always a different opportunity. I don’t think, one size fits all when youre talking about a controller like that. It’s got to fit the game that you’re making. We continue to be surprised by how people are using Move and Kinect and it’s a nice part of one’s toolbox."
