Insomniac Games, the team behind Resistance and the upcoming Ratchet & Clank Future, is ready to share their tech knowledge with the world. They recently added a new R&D section to their official website, where they hope to share information on how to best develop for the CELL processor and RSX (PS3 graphics chip). For the technically less inclined, they'll also be providing a look into their game design philosophies -- certainly, it'll be an interesting read for Insomniac fans.Currently, the page features articles on designing SPU code, configuring VNC on PS3, and more. It's a little mind-boggling, but we're appreciative of Insomniac's open approach to their development.

Thank you Insomniac, now please, please, someone develop a game for PS3 only. I can't handle another ported over game.

Hope they don't share knowledge on how to make a non 720 tv down rez to 480. I returned Resistance because of that, and won't buy any future titles that down rezes to SD resolutions.

So far there games are impressing me the most. Ratchet and Clank looks like a disney/pixar animation movie. Its brilliant.
Unfortunatly this technology will probably only be for games built for the PS3.

It’s a very interesting read.

This is awesome. The more companies do this, it can only be better for gamers and developers in general. This is actually quite unheard-of, to make such info public, and would suggest it's part of the new 'getting naked' business strategies that are becoming increasingly palatable in this age of ever-increasing transparency.
