Yea, I mean, what everyone said already really. I love Insomniac, just got finished replaying Resistance 3 and ACIT over the last few weeks. Not only do I think they're brilliant, I think they deserve the prestige a game tends to get when it's an exclusive.
But this...huh. I mean, I like the idea of taking the R2 co-op mode mechanics further, but March? So many games already, I just don't see how this is going to be a hit for them with that release. Honestly, with it being their first game on a MS platform, they should have kept this for a launch title next year. New IP, the one period where buyers are desperate for games and new ideas to blow them away on their new hardware and so on, this would have been a great fit and likely would have gave it the kick to spin into a franchise. Here and now, I just don't know.
I'd definitely play, but I'm not sure when.

They still have to produce the physical copies and take care of the logistics. i don't think there will be much profit left after that.
L'orange, actually.
The extra material needed to cover the boobs was too expensive. That or she has panzer tits

So there's still a chance they've had a change of heart and stuck googly eyes on everyone?

Well, they changed everything (except the orange)...

Headless torsos have been popular cover motives for books (and to a far lesser extent for videogames) for a number of years now. I can't say I'm a fan of those covers. Generic as hell.
I know but its just that there is plenty of room on the Fuse box art for the entire body.
That tomb raider box art has this zoomed in thing going so it cuts off the top and bottom of the character model. It just fits better on the box and looks more pleasing to the eye.
Maybe they should zoom in a little or move the artwork around if they want to use that artwork as the fuse cover because it just doesn't look right as it is.
Let be honest with ourselves, even if it had the old artstyle I have a feeling the game would have bombed anyway. Insomniac games seems to only sell moderately well and that was with Sony advertisement. Now that they are with EA there SOL from the start IMO.
Wait how would you know any of this?

Wait, wasn't this idea first invented by Matrix Reloaded ?

I fear for Insomniac.
It should be splayed on their face, but it's probably too assumptive.

Obvious fix is obvious.

Please update the OP guys, this is GAF we are always up to date remember
Even calling the game actually BOMB would make me more interested.
FUSE is such a terribly boring name.

I want to find that the focus groups who were responsible for this and stick their nose in it.

EA: Look at that badass cover. Totally radical, man!
That's Rascist!
Heh.

Seriously if you're going to just have generic bodies standing there can you at least have them in art and not what looks like game assets copy and pasted on? Resistance 3's box art was so great.

I don't. I'm sure Sony will be more than happy to have them back under their umbrella after Fuse bombs.

Sam Fisher, Crimson Viper and Drebin aren't that interesting. Can't pin the other one.

The clothes are even better on the original. That fucker is wearing a tie into a warzone.

Dear Insomniac,
The Dorito Pope thinks your box art sucks. Think about that.
Sincerely,
concerned gamers
And then 10/10 by Gametrailers.

No one cares about Resistance anymore and Ratchet isn't as popular as he should be these days. Insomniac needs Sony more than Sony needs Insomniac.
