OXCGN's FUSE Preview: Time to Light the FUSE: Insomniac's 'Overstrike' Game Revealed

OXCGN:

"One of the more anticipated titles of EA’s Q1 2013 lineup is FUSE, Insomniac’s first foray into multi-platform gaming and a brand new IP.

FUSE, formerly known as Overstrike, has come a long way since its inception and with its unique take on co-op gameplay and weapon enhancements, it looks at making a name for itself to clearly stand out from the crowd.

If a single player campaign isn’t what you’re interested in, FUSE has an in-depth cooperative mode that is heavily dependent on teamwork that can make or break your success.

While it may resemble the likes of other cover-based third person shooter Gears of War, it is anything but."

It looks like Chris Redfield has joined Shepherd for some Mass Effecting....

So much like that old gen game Brute Force! I loved that one.

[Eske]

Can't say that I find the premise very interesting, but the game has certainly previewed well. I'll be keeping it in my periphery.

That cover art though...yuck. Isn't the game supposed to focus on the characters? Cropping their heads seems an odd choice.

[DeadlyFire]

I assume its suggesting that you should only play co-op and that you are the players in the game. IF so though I would like some customization and character creation choices.

"Gee wizz I can't believe Gram Gram has give me money to buy a new game, golly I wonder which one I can buy...OH look at that FUSE, seems a little generic but I supp-, OH MY GOD Gears of War Judgment...God of War Ascension....AWESOME."

"So Billy did you buy that Fuse game you were going on about"

"What the hell is Fuse"

[DeadlyFire]

Fuse looks good, but from what I see with people's OMG its generic reaction. I expect it to be under the radar seller.

Mass Effect 3 MP works. FUSE, and Warface are expanding onto that concept. It will be better than what most are expecting.
