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.

abzdine4119d ago

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

AhmadSA4119d 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.

Rockefellow4119d 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.

MikeMyers4119d ago (Edited 4119d 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.

isarai4119d 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

Unicron4119d ago

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

Mr-SellJack4119d ago (Edited 4119d 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 think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman11d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath211d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai16d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga16d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole13d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville14d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5216d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_16d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville14d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM16d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka15d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_16d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
