Insomniac's Resistance 4 Pitch Rejected

There was a significant effort by Insomniac Games to develop Resistance 4, but unfortunately, the project never received the green light. As Insomniac Games founder and outgoing president Ted Price steps into retirement after 30 years at the helm, he shared insights during an interview with Kinda Funny Games. When asked about a favorite game concept that was pitched but never made, Price revealed, "Yeah, I’ll share one. Resistance 4."

According to Price, the team at Insomniac was passionate about extending the Resistance storyline further. He described the pitch as a "wonderful concept" that, due to timing and market opportunities, did not come to fruition. Price emphasized the potential of the Resistance series, noting its unique alternate history setting where the alien Chimera's origins and future could be explored in exciting ways.

The Resistance series, developed by Insomniac following their work on Ratchet and Clank, consists of three first-person shooter games set in an alternate history where aliens invade the UK in 1951. All three games were released for the PlayStation 3 before Insomniac shifted focus to other projects, including Marvel’s Spider-Man and new Ratchet and Clank titles.

Earlier this year, Price announced his retirement from Insomniac Games after over three decades with the company. He has appointed Chad Dezern, Ryan Schneider, and Jen Huang as Co-Studio Heads to succeed him.

Insomniac's most recent release, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, has just been made available on PC, and their next project is the highly anticipated Marvel’s Wolverine.
