Did they try to copy Mass Effect? Looks like it

 

[Acquiescence]

Damn, even the top comments on youtube are ragging on this game.

 

[jmood88]

This game has absolutely no hype around it. I still have no idea why they decided to change the name to something so generic.

 

[Thrakier]

Runs in between 21 and 27 FPS? What a shame.

 

[Mucudadada]

How old is that guy who did the Unboxing? It was a pretty bland video, I'm sorry sir. It was also not fun. But it's just my honest opinion, nothing else.

Some time ago I sent Insomniac a very humble and kind letter I wonder if it was this guy who got it and throw it away to the garbage because he didn't want nobody to read such a nice letter. You should care about your fans man! Was it you? Uh? Funny man...with those sticker joke... huh.

I wish they could have answered such a good letter!

The trailer was actually interesting, thanks for posting fellow GAFfer.

When did you send the letter?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

This game has absolutely no hype around it. I still have no idea why they decided to change the name to something so generic.

The switch in art-direction didn't help it either. The first trailer looked like something special, this just looks like Gears of War with Insomniac weapons.

 

[K.Sabot]

This game reminds me of Haze in a bunch of ways.

-4 player coop
-the enemy designs
-yellow everything with a bit of red/green for contrast.
-"____" will change war forever.
-Stop them corporations.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I expected that unboxing video to be from the developers themselves.

 

[antitrop]

I would probably get this eventually if it was on PC, but Ted Price hates me.

Perhaps Redbox, though.

 

[Elginer]

Can't wait for this. Me and the lady are going to play the shit out of this. Thanks Insomniac!
PS: No more Resistance after 3 makes me a sad ass panda. Loved R3.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

HAZE 2. This time, it's in 2013.

 

[Izick]

I expected that unboxing video to be from the developers themselves.

It is, isn't it?

 

[darkside31337]

Damn, even the top comments on youtube are ragging on this game.

This game is a total debacle. The Overstrike to Fuse switch was just so awful. I'm honestly surprised they even enabled comments.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Four Against Everyone is such a lame catch phrase.

 

[SweetTeddie]

Best trailer so far. Looks a little more like something you'd expect from Insomniac.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Hmm, trailer was ok, I just really hope the main characters are enjoyable to be around, that's there's enough entertaining dialogue & narrative around the whole thing.

 

[Neuromancer]

Insomniac can't catch a break with you guys. A Haze comparison of all things, really?

I think the demo is going to make or break this game. I hope it's a good one and people are pleasantly surprised.

 

[SniperHunter]

bad trailer IMO

 

[nemesun]

Good lord, some of the texture work in that trailer is absolutely atrocious. This game is akin to reverse boarderlands.

 

[AlexBasch]

Excuse me if I created a "fantasy world about Overstrike" just based on a trailer many years ago, but it was something that I wanted to play.

Not this shit.

 

[Squire]

Epic unboxing. Hahahahahaha!!!

 

[jmood88]

The switch in art-direction didn't help it either. The first trailer looked like something special, this just looks like Gears of War with Insomniac weapons.

Yeah, it's like the exact opposite of the Borderlands situation.

 

[Berto]

This looks extremely boring.

 

[The_Monk]

When did you send the letter?

Some time ago, I think it would be more than 8 Months by now. I payed for extra Protection/Insurance on the letter and even payed extra for it to be Tracked by my local Post Office Mail, I really wanted Insomniac to have a good read from a fan as well some tiny questions answered. However I never got an answer and I even said that even if Insomniac did want to answer back, just a "we got your letter" by email would be good enough...

At least the dialogue seems to be on par with Haze.

 

[bryehn]

Blue? Check. Orange? Lots of it. Snappin' necks? Fuck yeah, you bet! Sparks too!

This is some generic-looking stuff, can't say I have any interest.

 

[benny_a]

Why is the Villains trailer not up on their own YT channel? I want that trailer without watermarks for some gifs. Get some hype going amongst all this negativity!

 

[BeEatNU]

looks super generic, I'll wait for my Ratchet and Clank

 

[PAULINK]

The unboxing video was funny. I don't understand the appeal of unboxing videos for normal games in their cases.

I'll double check to make sure we got it. We do read all of the letters we receive.

 

[The_Monk]

Oh that's very nice of you. Who would have known, some light of hope after almost an year of silence. Thank you very much.

 

[statham]

That looked pretty cool.

Can you post it here if you have it saved? Now I'm curious about this letter.

-"____" will change war forever.
-Stop them corporations.

Yeah even the name is very similar, both game have some kind of substance that can do crazy stuff. That said there is one key difference here : even if Fuse is a massive failure (which I doubt, I expect a fun coop shooter), it won't kill Insomniac Games, they can still rely on Ratchet, and maybe Resistance if the game fails. Free Radical didn't have this luxury

 

[The_Monk]

Can you post it here if you have it saved? Now I'm curious about this letter.

Sorry fellow GAFfer. I did not save it because I did write it up with Pen & Paper just like the old days because that's what I wanted, to show that I really wanted them to read my letter, and that's the same reason why I did sent via the good old mail in the post office instead of just a regular Email. I payed way more and spent more time and money but I always thought (and I still think) that it's worth the extra personal touch when you are contacting someone.

Any chance you could share the gist of it? Curious to know what you wrote about.

 

[VanWinkle]

It just looks so bad. I say this as a big Insomniac fan. I've loved their IPs. This looks very generic. I'm surprised it's even being made by Insomniac. The only interesting thing was that big human.

The unboxing video was funny, though.

 

[FonkyByNature]

Even though the game looks a little generic. Since it's Insomniac, i believe they will make a great game that has fun gameplay. That's what they do best.

Will certainly give it a try, a demo would help a lot.

 

[ReaperXL7]

I retract my previous statement since it appears Insomniac is not responsible, Im interested in the game, I
would have much preferred the original art style, but this looks like it could be allot of fun with co op.

ill be curious to see reviews.

 

[BruiserBear]

I actually think this would have been a better idea as a launch game for next gen consoles. People are more interested in starting new franchises on new hardware.

 

[Kayo-kun]

The unboxing video was entertaining and it sometimes feels like many are hating on Insomniac too much because of the decisions they've made lately.

I still have to say that the trailer for Fuse didn't raise my interest too much.

 

[BeekleMatter]

I still have a feeling they too closely mimmicked The Incredibles in that first Overstrike trailer and got in trouble. The metallic looking bubbles that encase the guy is a direct rip from The Incredibles.

 

[Ingueferroque]

It is, isn't it?

Yes, but that's what I tried to convey.. who else would be excited about unboxing FUSE?

 

[Bog]

Some of those twitter replies are brutal.

 

[Takao]

I was actually consdering buying this, but Insomniacs silence on FFA for the Vita has left abit of a sour taste in my mouth. I mean if they cancelled it then whatever but atleast tell people whats going on when the game was supposed to be out awhile ago, would be better than wanting a game thats not coming.

Game does look interesting in some aspects though, ill be curious to see how it reviews.

FFA for Vita isn't in development at Insomniac.

If Sony's so hesitant to talk about it the port's either junk, or they're very desperate for content to have on the E3 show floor for Vita.

 

[mr_nothin]

This looks and SOUNDS cheap as hell. I really hate the sound effects in the trailer. It's like they bought some stock sounds off of the internet.

Getting HAZE vibes all over.

 

[Mascot]

Wow. I was expecting... more.
Not too impressed, to be honest.

 

[Domcorleone]

Looks pretty bland to me. I'm sure the weapons will be cool. The art style doesn't appeal to me either. I hope this game does well for them, I like Insomniac.

 

[Raxus]

Epic unboxing. Hahahahahaha!!!

Now if only that humor was carried over to the game.

 

[btkadams]

whaaat? so it's actually done now? what is sony doing????
