Details and screens for Insomniac's new game, Fuse

**Nitey** · 09-14-2012

You don't need to have seen any other footage than the E3 2011 trailer to acknowledge the game has gone in a different direction. Even the developer has said so. A shame

**Thorzilla** · 09-14-2012

Looks totally generic now...from an insta buy to a we'll see...

Different direction doesn't really mean bad direction.

Obviously what has changed is subjective. People, such as yourself, seem to love the way the game is looking now but others that were compelled with what was shown when the game was known as Overstrike may have lost a little interest. A few people in this thread are an example of that

What I find bad you could find good etc. Duh

People lose interest in games all the time. I have lost interest in Last Guardian but not because it may have gone through a change or two. I don't have an issue with people losing interest. What bugs me is that people say a game will be crap or calling it a generic shooter before they even get a chance to play it or at least read a few reviews. They think their opinions are facts.

I don't think anyone here called it crap, don't take it so personally either

. It definitely looks generic though, especially compared to what was shown as Overstrike

No one actually called it crap but they aren't praising it either. I'm not taking it personal just because I say don't judge it before you play it. Its totally reasonable to take that stance.

I saw a feature about this game on TV (G4 I think) and it looked kind of cool in some ways and generic in others. I would definitely rent it first.

I actually saw gameplay last night on spike TV and it actually looked pretty good. Reminded me of Gears in a way but with cooler weapons and involved more teamwork.

Actually thats probably the same show I watched. They were playing it on 360 going by the 360 controller button presses. And yeah I'll definitely check it out.

With that said, Insomniac has always been one of my favorite developers. Exclusive or not, i have faith in them when it comes to Fuse.

Don't get me wrong i loved 80% of R3's campaign, i got so pissed after the train level when you know what happens and the game made me feel for it. but the ending was just complete BS on so many levels. And the Mp was plagued with crappy patches and stutters for the first 3 months which left me with little replay value after i platinumed it. IG used to be one of my favs but they've been dropping the ball too much lately.

If the coop feels similar to Resistance 2's coop (or better) than this may be a day one for me. Resistance 2's coop was so much fun!

That said I really hope they have story and cutscenes so that we can see these characters interact and do stuff. The voice acting seemed top notch in the original cgi trailer.

**DarkVincent07** · 09-15-2012

The trailer (aside from having an awful song) seemed pretty bland and uninspired to be honest. Those enemies look like they can fit in any bro shooter.

I liked the original direction a tonne better but I'm going to give this a chance because I love Insomniac

**jj03** · 09-15-2012

Looks very 'meh' thus far but as others have said, it's insomniac so...

if anyone is curious
the song is some rap junk called:
Ill Manors by Plan B

**neoxthexone** · 09-15-2012

meh, seems pretty bland for a insomniac game.

**Suzano-O** · 09-15-2012

I'm pretty disappointed with the change...
Seems like replacing orange with greyblue sapped all the charm out of this game in comparison to the original, much more creative trailer...

Let it get a release in march and it's a 100% flop.

This is going up against god of war(tho not a shooter, it's going to sell) and Gears of War(it's the same genre and it's going to sell).

Sure it may struggle going against two well established franchises like those but it doesn't mean the game is bad. Lots of people thought Sleeping Dogs was gonna flop too but it turned out ok. With EA's marketing and Insomniac reputation, this game has a chance at success. I'm sure Insomniac still has PS3 fans waiting for their next project, not to mention the 360 only gamers who want this game too. Besides, there may be some who may a little tired of GOW and Gears at this point.

I'll admit I'm disappointed that Insomniac let EA suck all the wonderful charm out of the game.

Hopefully if enough people complain they'll work on adding some of it back...

It is insomniac so I have hope, but yeah the game looked more interesting before the change.

My initial reaction: Meh, looked a lot more interesting before this change. Overstrike in the E3 trailer looked like a brilliant concept compared to this

I didn't see this before so I just added it to the OP now.

The only difference I see from the new trailer and last year's cinematic are the character designs. I can't comment on the atmosphere since we're looking at two different levels.

**SomaXD** · 09-16-2012

isabelle looks exactly like femshep... ea... what are you trying to pull.

I was liking Haze too until about 3/4 the way in I was playing a level and I can't remember if I was in a dune buggy or car or what but I was going up this mountain or hill and all the graphics went out...the whole screen went white and I had to try to continue on not seeing where I was going....had to do that part several times because I couldn't see what was happening. That was terrible coding and don't know how the game got released. That said the rest of the game...was fun....it had frame stutters and stuff but the story and juice etc....if they made a sequel and it was done quality...I would play it.

As for this game...art direction definately can change mood a TON. It had a lot of charm and funny dialog...it does look to be just like most other games out there with this art direction....and darker...which I prefered the other. Was only a small chance I picked the game up before...now little to no chance.
