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

itBourne4386d 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.

Resistance 3 was their best, imo

fattyuk4386d ago

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

TheFirstClassic4386d ago (Edited 4386d ago )

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

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.

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.

sizeofyou4386d ago

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

showtimefolks4386d 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

It's sunset overdrive not sunset overstrike.

HammadTheBeast4386d 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".

wastedcells4386d ago

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

Jeff2574386d 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.

stage884386d 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.

TOSgamer4386d 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.

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

127maXimus49d ago

Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
