In a new interview with Kinda Funny Games, soon-to-be president of Insomniac Games Ted Price was asked about a favorite game of his that was pitched but never greenlit.

“Yeah, I’ll share one,” Price said after a brief pause. “Resistance 4.”

He continued: “We did pitch that one and it was a wonderful concept, and, it just, in terms of timing and market opportunity, didn’t work out. But it was the result of a lot of Insomniac team members being passionate about extending the story further because I do believe that Resistance has set up a really cool alternate history base where anything can happen with the Chimera and where they go and what their origins are.”

Price said that they spent a lot of time working on backstory and brainstorming on where the series could go in the future.

“Personally, I love this franchise,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to be creative director on the first two Resistances. And I will remember many, many moments—good and bad—when it comes to development that taught us all a lot about how we can elevate ourselves under some pretty difficult situations.”
