Fuse Finally Looking Like a Formidable Title: New Co-Op Details and Screen Shots

Today, via their website for Fuse, Insomniac, fleshed out more about how working together benefits all and why its looking like Fuse is going to be the Co-Op game that gamers have been looking forward to for a long time; saying in a press release: “In the game, you earn Fuse points that you can redeem for weapon and character upgrades. One of the most efficient ways to do this is by working as a team to discover unique combos to eliminate enemies. Simple example: Shooting through Dalton’s Magshield to take-down an enemy nets both you and Dalton bonus Fuse points. Well, we had a solid number of unique combinations for y’all to discover, but lately we have really fleshed the system out."

Fuse's issue was that the initial trailer showed a comedic, buddy-merc vibe which looked really engaging. Now its gone.

abzdine4084d ago

i want Overstrike, not Fuse.
IG are getting it wrong with this one i can feel. more i see less i want

AhmadSA4084d ago

People need to stop bitching about the overstrike trailer and take this game for what it is and not what it isn't. If Insomniac didn't show that trailer nobody would be saying that this looks generic.
The game looks fantastic.

Rockefellow4084d ago

I would have liked to see how the original concept panned out, but you're right-- it's evolved into something that still looks exceptionally good. And in watching the trailers, it still has quite a bit of humor to it.

MikeMyers4084d ago (Edited 4084d ago )

Some people just have issues with change in general. Overstrike looked like Team Fortress and I'm hoping that Fuse can distinguish itself from the rest of the crowd.

To those who don't want to give it a chance, oh well. Your loss if it actually turns out to be a fun game.

isarai4084d ago

It's the same concept, just different aesthetic. Is slight change in aesthetic REALLY that important to people? really? The game actually looks like it could be one of the best co-op games this gen, and it's pissing me off that so many people are dismissing it simply because it isn't cell shaded anymore when this is potentially the co-op game so many people have been asking/waiting for, the concept of the game is still the same, even all the characters are the same. All i know is i'm more than likely getting it because i haven't had a good long lasting coop experience since Uncharted 2

Unicron4084d ago

It was never cell shaded though. People are making up a game they never even saw footage from.

Mr-SellJack4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

well that gr8!i just rented resistance 2 and it was the best rental i ever made even more than Uncharted 2 it was so damn fun.Insomniac make the most fun games ever aswell as the best weapons ever

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga46d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo46d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken47d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN46d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199246d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies47d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde46d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai47d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken47d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
