EA, Insomniac, Don't You Dare Release Overstrike in 2012

It's been almost a full year since the next project from Insomniac Games was made official and it has always been purported to face a 2012 release. With the year half gone, OnlySP argues why it should not see the light of day until 2013.

We havent heard or seen anything from this game since it was announced. How would it be able to release this year?

Hoje03084366d ago

We'll probably see it at E3, but a 2012 release date for a new franchise wouldn't be a very good idea. Common sense points to a release sometime early next year to give it a little breathing room. January or February would be good, since Bioshock, God of War and possibly GTA5 will be coming out in spring. Failing that, the dead of summer or early fall, though I hope they don't wait that long.

Soldierone4366d ago

Bioshock was already delayed. Just like every other year, it will come close then all these games will be delayed till early 2013, like always.

I see no reason why it cant come out this year. EA's marketing, plus a team up with Sony for marketing, would make it fine. Heck if it does come out this year I will put another game aside just to get it.

Neo Nugget4366d ago

It can't come out this year if it isn't finished ^

TekoIie4365d ago

@soldierone

Why would Sony help market a game EA is publishing????

HebrewHammer4366d ago

Am I the only one who gets the feeling it will be "meh"

torchic4366d ago

me too. I saw the trailer and I though "oh okay" :/

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4366d ago

I was just thinking about this game the other day. They must be working hard on this. No press about it at all. Almost forgot it existed.

J5Feedback4366d ago

Holy crap, I forgot how excited I was for this when I first saw the trailer.

But yeah, it's not coming out this year. We haven't seen a thing.

dangert124366d ago

Even If It was...nothing stopping him from buying It next year

showtimefolks4366d ago

insomniac are one of the most under rated devs in the business, sony as much as i like them never really advertise their exclusives that much. So whenever this game is released it needs the backing of EA 100%

even though we know so little i just have a feeling this new IP won't be successful sales wise because its just not gonna be that kind of title. but critical appraise it will get

either way i will play it and here is hoping insomniac can hit a home run

xPhearR3dx4366d ago

Meh. Insomniac never really made any games that interest me much aside from Spyro back in the day. Even this game looks very meh. Hopefully my opinion will change when they show much more of it.

TekoIie4365d ago

I have to admit the humour is a bit "meh". Although watching E3 on my Tv and seeing the buddhist monk part (I was barely paying attention) nearly made me shit myself in fear.

I don't think we can predict whether this game will be a success but I am interested to see what was in the trailer incorporated into gameplay.

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.

Cacabunga49d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo49d ago

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

just_looken49d 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.

GamerRN49d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199249d 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.

ChasterMies49d 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.

DarXyde48d 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?

Barlos49d ago (Edited 49d 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.

CobraKai49d 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_looken49d 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.

Chocoburger49d ago (Edited 49d 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!"
