Do you know what company bit the dust with its new game?

Insomniac has failed on its new multiplatform experience.

Fuse is one of the worst selling titles this year.

"FUSE between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have failed to reach the launch of 60,000 units."

Ouch!

Totally their own fault for letting EA change it into something else

itBourne3959d ago

This is true for one! But even if it stayed overstrike, it wouldnt have done extremely well. Insomniac has not made a good game in over 4 years. And even when they were they werent sailing like hot cakes. So its to be expected. No to mention, the few sony fanboys that wld have bought it, many not now haha.

Yui_Suzumiya3959d ago

Resistance 3 was their best, imo

fattyuk3959d ago

^^^ resistence 3 was the worst out of the trilogy lol

TheFirstClassic3959d ago (Edited 3959d ago )

No, resistance 2 was the worst. Resistance 3 had a great campaign.

user55757083959d ago

i was so pumped when i first saw overstrike and saw that insomniac was making it...after i saw EA publish it and change the name to FUSE i knew it was going to turn out to be mediocre at best.

InTheLab3959d ago

R2's multiplayer and co-op were light years better than R3's.

R3's multiplayer was complete crap and it's obvious they spent little time with the game, as they were probably using Sony's money on Fuse.

R3 had an outstanding single player though. And while R2 was disappointing compared to Fall of Man, it's not the worst in the franchise.

You can't have 2/3s of your game be a crap waste of disc space.

R3 is by far the worst in the franchise and sales reflect that.

Fall of Man still had best SP and MP

They need Sony guiding them and helping them to make an interesting game.

sizeofyou3959d ago

Agree - talented bunch, but needed a better direction...

showtimefolks3959d ago

EA and Insomniac made the generic Fuse and kept the actual overstrike as sunset overstrike because MS's check was too big to pass on

Insombiac what the heck happened to you? Last great game was ratchet and clank a crack in time. Resistance 3 had great atmosphere but story was pretty meh and you took out the best part of resistance 2 the 8 player co-op that's why resistance 3 did so bad

Everyone I know who played or liked resistance 2 liked it because of the co-op

Well I guess nice knowing you, Sony needs to find another developer who can do proper ratchet and clank games, probably the studio that did thieves in time could be give a chance for a fresh prospective

Nicaragua3959d ago

It's sunset overdrive not sunset overstrike.

HammadTheBeast3959d ago

Sony's probably not picking them back up after Ted Price walked on stage for MS at their E3 show.

They've really gone downhill, and its sad that they want to "continue with FUSE in the future".

wastedcells3959d ago

If sunset overdrive is anything like fuse I think they will find themselves in trouble.

Jeff2573959d ago

I am a huge fan of Insomniac. I loved what they did with the Ratchet And Clank series and I really enjoyed the Resistance games as well. That being said I haven't picked up Fuse and I'm not sure I will. Even when it was Overstrike I still didn't quite know what to make of it or what they were trying to do. Then EA went and messed it up even more. I wish them success with their XBOX One title as well but at the same time with all the other shooters coming out on it then that may also get passed over.

stage883959d ago

This game looks like a generic piece of crap. No wonder it didn't sell. Resistance was so much better as it was very original.

TOSgamer3959d ago

Hopefully this game and Sunset Overdrive(which looks good but isn't going to sell to what's left of the xbox fanbase) won't sink them and they can make a comeback in the future. Maybe on Pc.

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.

Cacabunga41d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo41d ago

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

just_looken42d 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.

GamerRN41d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199241d 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.

ChasterMies41d 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.

DarXyde41d 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?

Barlos42d ago (Edited 42d 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.

CobraKai42d 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_looken42d 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.

Eonjay41d ago

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.

Chocoburger42d ago (Edited 42d 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!"
