Rift Apart is an excellent game. It’s the epitome of what the games I’m talking about could be in the more modern era of gaming, although a new Jak game in the style of Jak II and Jak 3 would be even better to me. I just feel like this genre has such untapped potential. A more realistic game like this would be awesome to see as well.

So true. I feel like Insomniac sold their souls to the Marvel machine by pumping out so many Marvel games at the expense of the creative original games they were known for. With Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man they got a taste of success at a level they’ve never had before and now they’re just running with it. Don’t get me wrong, those games are good. But Insomniac games were amazing. It feels like capitalism has sucked the life out of them. Maybe a controversial opinion, I don’t know. But I hope they snap out of it and make some original games again, and more Ratchet… also if Naughty Dog doesn’t revive Jak and Daxter, Insomniac should pick it up too.
