Resistance 4 Was Pitched But Didn't Work Out, Says Former Insomniac Boss
Blame timing and market opportunity
Resistance 3 was released in 2011 for PS3. While Insomniac was an independent studio back then, the Resistance franchise was published by Sony. A PlayStation Vita entry was released in 2012 called Resistance: Burning Skies, but it was created by another developer, Nihilistic, (now known as nStigate Games).
Back in 2012, Price confirmed that Insomniac wouldn't be making any more Resistance games, but later said in 2013 that the studio "seriously considered" a fourth entry. However, Insomniac during that time chose to create the third-person co-op shooter game Fuse instead in order to avoid franchise fatigue. Insomniac Games went on to create Ratchet & Clank (2016), Marvel's Spider-Man, Sunset Overdrive, and Song of the Deep before being acquired by Sony in 2019.
Price recently retired from Insomniac Games and the studio is currently working on its Wolverine game.
