Insomniac's Fuse delayed

He's mad that it isn't Overstrike, just like me and everybody else here.

@Dragon_Nexus@Celiria_Rose@unreal_master"Nothing ages faster than photorealistic graphics. Giving your game a distinct art style and personality is what makes them stand the test of time." 

*squints, puffs the pipe* Touche.......well played.

@Celiria_RoseWhy am I getting the impression that you're either an Insomniac or EA employee? Here putting a PR spin on what is clearly a lame duck. Deal with it, Fuse is a lackluster run of the mill cover shooter that most don't want and hopefully won't buy. Overstrike was what we all wanted - a shooter with a distinct art style coupled with witty dialogue and characters with personality.

@Dragon_Nexus @Celiria_Rose @unreal_master First off the game will still have humorous dialogue as multiple members of the team including the writer and head of the company have stated multiple times.

Second they left the overly stylized art style because they didn't feel it worked well with what they were trying to do with the weapons and combat. It didn't allow the feel to the combat that they wanted and which was the entire goal of the game from the start. Its simply a matter of they went with a more out there art style simply to have an art style but found it didn't work with what they were doing. The same way game developers cut features all the time because they realize it doesn't mesh or doesn't work in the game as they had originally anticipated.

@dogman7 @Celiria_Rose THEY SHOWED ARTISTIC INTEGRITY BY CHANGING IT. They stood by THEIR Artistic belief. They did not change because someone told them to. They changed ,as they have stated numerous times, because the old art style and overly comical tone did not fit with the type of game they were trying to make. This does not mean it is just like everyone else. It still has the over the top weapons and gameplay that insomniac is known for, it still has humor, it is still an insomniac game.

@Celiria_Rose You make points that I or nobody else can argue with. However, I was excited for Overstrike when it was announced, it seemed entertaining and full of personality. Now that it has turned into Fuse it seems bland and boring. They had something that got people interested and instead of showing some artistic integrity, they backed down and are now making something that most people think looks like everything else, and if it looks like everything else, then why not just go with something that is already established?

having a cover system doesn't mean the game is built around just peekabooing around it. Or haven't you noticed the aoe singularity gun naya has, or her ability to turn in invisible and sneak around shooting without the need of cover, or dalton's portable forcefield designed for multiple players to shoot through, or izzy's crystalization gun allowing her to incapacitate enemies so they can't shoot at her allies so they can run around shooting instead of hiding. Just because a game has a feature doesn't mean its meant to be used in the same manner as every other game. Vanquish had a cover system and it was far from generic.

There are cover based shooters and there are shooters that have cover. Games like Mafia 2, gears and spec ops the line are cover based shooters. Games like vanquish, fuse and max payne are shooters that happen to have a cover feature. That doesn't make them generic cover based shooters.

Cover based shooters are designed more defensively. You use cover as a defense and wait for an oppurtunity. Fuse and other shooters that happen to have cover but aren't cover based are more offensive shooters. You don't wait for an oppurtunity you use your abilities to create an oppurtunity. Fuse adds onto that idea further by being designed around the weapons working together with each other for combination attacks.
