EA just announced during its latest financial results call that it has delayed the launch of Fuse. The new IP was originally set to release in March.
Fuse from Insomniac Games is a co-op third-person shooter that is actually a blast to play alone, thanks to being able to switch between characters.
Whether self-published or under a larger company, these developers suffered their share of outside meddling.
The list is
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Halo 2
Dragon Age 2
Fuse
Haze
Telltales's The Walking Dead
Dead Space 3
Dungeon Keeper
Need for Speed Payback
MGSV
Star Wars 1313
Lair
Middle Earth Shadow of War
GB says Halo 2 was terrible and they hail Halo 3 as being superior, but Halo 2 actually has a higher Metacritic and was actually a very fun game. I much preferred Halo 2 over Halo 3.
They rip Deus Ex MD yet if u ignore the overblown preorder controversy and the ridiculous little MTs it was actually received very well by critics. GB claims it had a poor reception, and it did commercially, but the game is an 84 Meta. It really didn't deserve to bomb commercially. If anything choose Deus Ex The Fall. Blame the publisher for turning a gritty, sophisticated stealth masterpiece into mobile trash.
I love me some Insomniac, but can we honestly blame EA for Fuse? Didn't Insomniac go multiplat in order to have more control? Yet EA made Fuse bad? I have to blame Ted Price on this one.
Sony wanted Six Axis implemented into Lair "allegedly" but Lair was flawed well beyond the Six Axis control scheme.
GB has a line where they say 'if u thought Ubisoft was above this" and then they mention Haze. Ubisoft is among the worst offenders, why would we think they are above mismanagement and greed when AC is ridiculously milked and their games are often stuffed with MTs? And who keeps buying The Crew? The Crew 2, a terrible sequel to a terrible game. Virtually every Ubisoft game is a "service" based game with MTs. Oh, and they've had numerous downgrades this gen. The funny thing is, ppl somehow slammed Sony for Haze.
Blame Disney for 1313, they were the ones who cut development once they acquired Lucas.
Project Hammer is another. Nintendo royally fucked over NST with that game leading to its cancelation and by that point, they were forced to change it to a Mii party game. Phantom Dust and Scalebound from MS as well. Sony with Lair.
Sometimes, games change drastically between their initial pitch and the version players get their hands on. Such was the case with these five games that would have been totally different if they'd stuck to their original pitch.
Oh hell no, Borderlands is perfect the way it is, that gritty/serious vibe would have killed the game
if this game had the ff13 battle system it would have been a joy to play. it just doesnt seem like a ff game to me
Twinfinite you come with some pretty cool lists but the fact that they're multi page kills it.
I was happy with how Prey turned out, but there was a reveal for Prey 2 and it looked awesome. They should still develop that concept into a stand alone game.
EA you can delay this walking disaster as much as you like but it's still going to be generic as hell. Everything you guys touch turns to crap...just like Activision.
Bioware, Visceral Games, DICE and now insomniac Games
It wouldve been killed in March so maybe it stands a chance in April or later.
I look forward to buying it. I will always support Insomniac Games. Hopefully this game doesn't bomb but if it does (unfortuantely thats what its looking like) I really hope they would reconsider going back to Sony and becoming a first party studio for them
Ea is not in charge of insomniac. They are called a publisher. They mass produce the game disc. The same things happens with books. Insomniac games funds the making of there own game then ea makes it ready for distribution. Not all developers work this way but in this case it is this way. I wish all video game journalist would learn this.
lmao Overtrike was a CGI trailer ! Why do people think Isomnicac can make that game? Everything else is still there. The guns, characters, humor. Everything except the pixar look because it was a CGI trailer. lmao at people thinking this was orginally a UNIQUE GAME from the GODS and turned into dog shit. Its the same game from the trailer except with less frames per second and uglier.
Blame IG for making a new IP after burning Resistance to the ground with Resistance 2, which never recovered after that.
