Inside Insomniac With Ted Price

3:30AM Maggie Greene | Gamasutra’s Christian Nutt sat down with Insomniac CEO Ted Price at their recent community event; the discussion centered heavily on Resistance 2 and the Insomniac development process. Price has a lot to say about how Insomniac deals with requests and suggestions from the user base, both on their own community as well as elsewhere (and gives us a ringing endorsement with “Well, sure, Kotaku is a good source.”).

Keen observers will note that’s everybody’s favourite female Viper jockey Katee Sackhoff trying to console a man who seems to be suffering from a nasty case of the Chimeran virus.
