This could end up being the largest "_____ has gone gold" thread in GAF history.
Apparently.
Better marketing than EA. They should be paying us.

Whats the word on a PC release?
Just tell them to stay clear of the first few pages... in fact it's probably best if people just don't read anything except jstevenson's posts.

I have that feeling too.

They could always pull a Capcom and tell people to buy these versions to prove they are interested.
Don't hold your breath.
Unless there is some secret big advertising push going for this game, I really hope Insomniac haven't put too much of their money and are relying on Fuse doing superbly going forward, if I wasn't on these forums I wouldn't know it existed, and that sucks because I've always loved Insomniac.

resistance is dead.
they had a good thing with R1 since it was a really nice launch title, but everything from there (ps3,psp and vita) were okay games at best, and others were awful.
sony will just do what they do every generation, which is keep some of their popular franchises around, make new ones and ditch the ones they don't think have any potential to handhelds or the dying platforms (ps3/vita in this case).
to me, nothing can shake the feeling that there's bad blood between SCE and Insomniac right now. Whether that is true or not, we'll have to wait for e3 at least.
The EA division that funded this game got shut down, so I doubt there would be more funding for that even if they ever became interested.
With the Ratchet movie been made I dont think so.
There will be a demo. No risk in downloading it and trying it out.
True that. Will probably do since I'm not to worried about finals this year.

I was at the PAX East panel for FUSE... lets just say that Ted Price gave a pretty definitive "NO" (going out of his way to be as firm with that NO as possible). Which is a real bummer, I would probably pick this up sometime down the line if it was on Steam. I don't really play multiplayer games on console a lot.

we'll see how well that goes...
Yes, Ted Price at PAX East is exactly what the source I linked referenced.

Good luck Insomniac, I hope EA get the marketing machine running as I would hate to see this bomb hard, first time out of the Sony stable in a long ass time.
Its not going to have a huge budget. I think if they release a return to form ratchet game next to the movie it could help the francise a bit.

The word is "no."
I'm skipping this on the consoles but I would totally buy it for the PC though.
Ratchet&Clank is the gold ore that Insomniac should stick to for as long as it's profitable.
They *almost* managed to create a new dependable franchise in Resistance but the second game brought it all down (third game was great but damage was already done). Fuse will likely be a single outing only.
While they are looking to create that second dependable franchise just have a team pump out R&C material.

perhaps. I enjoy R&C (acit was the best on ps3), so I wouldn't mind a proper main new game, instead of the stuff they're putting out nowadays.
again, this is just my feeling, with how everything turned out these past years with sony and insomniac.

I don't think that Insomniac needs to return to the Ratchet franchise so soon. I'm all for them exploring other genres and ideas but making a generic cover based shooter isn't one of them.
Same. Love Insomniac, but if the whole point is online/teamwork I probably won't enjoy it. Don't play online all that often and I doubt any of my gamer friends will get the game anyway. And I've always got the feeling that playing as a team is the main draw, not a huge, entertaining single player campaign.
People are way too negative about this game though.

yeah, never say never, but right now no plans for PC release.
I play all new releases on PC right now too so I feel your pain.

Well, someone at work might be giving this to me on release date.
Neat.

actually the game is really fun alone because you can use leap to jump between the four characters, so it's actually fairly tactical in that regard and you can use lots of different abilities and such

They already know at Target that they need to clearance FUSE.
I loled.
I don't think sony would do that. They are too classy and they care about Ratchet, so for as long Insomniac is interested in Ratchet (movie and game?) they will have some sort of a relationship. Will sony ever invest in a new IP from Insomnica? I doubt it. Now that money has gone else where . Maybe Ready at Dawn, maybe in second team of one of 1st party studio. Expect Sucker Punch to be pushed more now since they are first party now
Yeah, it sucks that a promising concept like Overstrike turning into another military 3rd person shooter because of guys in suits.

That one mechanic is what guaranteed a buy from me. Too many co-op games don't play well enough solo, but leap should keep things interesting.
What sucks is selling Insomniac short because of the art design. Gameplay is still king in my universe.
I've only watched like two trailers, but the tone of it seems to be pretty fun, in that bad action movie Jason Statham-y kinda way. I think that sets it apart from most self-serious TPS yet not going into full-on Duke Nukem mode.
Seriously, I am on board with the Fuse hate brigade, but this is just...wow.
Insomniac have some of the most talented people in the industry right now. In fact I think that is part of the reason for so many of us being overly upset about Fuse in that it just doesn't seem like it is "up to par" with their other titles which for the most part have been outstanding!
I don't exactly see how you can call them a "copycat studio."
the only outstanding title they made in last 7 years in ACIT. R1 and 3 were very good. So was TOD. rest of it was....

this seems like the absolute epitome of a mid-tier game that struggles so much in todays (tough) market. i cant see anyway this doesn't flop horribly. sent to die.
