Welcome to Xbox! MT @JamesStevenson Well folks, here it is, the 1st boxed copy of @InsomniacGames 1st game on Xbox.

 

[Lunar15]

I think someone centered the picture wrong. They cut off those dudes faces.

 

[Nirolak]

Split bump.

 

[Onion_Relish]

Time to light the fuse on the inevitable bomba.

 

[Card Boy]

I think someone centered the picture wrong. They cut off those dudes faces.

Their faces where too generic, they where cut off on purpose.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

So they really are hunkering down with that box art...

 

[El_Chino]

The release date is still 5/28?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

They forgot the blue in their orange/blue contrast

 

[smr00]

Quick, someone post that itshappening.gif

Or are we still hating this game? I can't keep up.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Hate to be that guy but this game is near release and I don't know what the hell it's about, have barely seen any gameplay, don't know what systems it's for (PS3/360 I assume?), haven't seen one commercial. I mean really? Also, what a craptastic cover.

 

[Jocchan]

I wonder if the discs are cut on top as well.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

When I saw this tweet earlier I expected the box art to have changed.

 

[Nirolak]

The release date is still 5/28?

Yeah, sometimes games finish a bit early and are held up to 1-1.5 months for a better release window business wise.

This is most common with January releases or November releases, but it's not unheard of outside that window.

 

[CorySchmitz]

You mean Fuse went orange.

 

[Het_Nkik]

"Orange and blue? Nah man, fuck blue."


But seriously, I keep being surprised to hear this game exists every time there's something new about it because I just keep forgetting.

 

[Salsa]

looks pretty orange to me

 

[sangreal]

1st of 5 million

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I bet the discs look like every other game disc from the back, too.

 

[skynidas]

Weird that James Stevenson says the Xbox thing as if were important. I'm getting this game but I don't know, I think that Insomniac should have stayed with Sony

 

[DieH@rd]

I hope that game will be good.

 

[ThisWreckage]

What in the fuck was Insomniac thinking with this game? Zero hype behind this right now. In this industry, one flop can completely bury a company or cripple the company at the very least.

 

[Strickland]

Dear god I feel so bad for Insomniac already they deserve better.

 

[Fersis]

It's R2 Co Op successor so im hype.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I don't think anyone is hating on it. It's just one of those games that everyone forgets they even exist if they are not constantly mentioned.

Kinda like Lost Planet 3 or Army of Two 2 ya know?

It's just a shame cause Insomniac is such a good developer.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Time to light the fuse on the inevitable bomba.

The Mission Impossible theme has already started in my head.

 

[jediyoshi]

I think someone centered the picture wrong. They cut off those dudes faces.

Wouldn't be so bad if they did something with all the extra space left. It literally looks like they didn't center it correctly with it being left empty

 

[statham]

any ideas if they are making a demo?

 

[Zeouterlimits]

There's a demo.. right? I vaguely recall such chatter.

 

[Goldenroad]

They are doubling their potential market with this game...that seems like a pretty important thing to me.

 

[Deadbeat]

So when the game bombs in NPD who is going to be the one that says it was only a "few days of sales"?

Anywhoooo, when is EA going to start advertising this thing?

 

[AngryPyros]

The front character's armor and pose look a lot like the Mass Effect 3 cover.

 

[sangreal]

Weird that James Stevenson says the Xbox thing as if were important.

It is a big deal... just like Bungie making their first game for PS

I'm getting this game but I don't know, I think that Insomniac should have stayed with Sony

Oh

 

[Woorloog]

What is this game?
Did i hear about this during last years E3 or not?

 

[sangreal]

Don't forget Remember Me! It's right there in the title of the game

 

[SuperSonic1305]

First bomba on Xbox as well.

 

[SniperHunter]

first of many Xbox games. Sony is probably done with these guys IMO

 

[Byronic Hero]

Dat region label placement.

 

[TryHardShounen]

What in the fuck was Insomniac thinking with this game? Zero hype behind this right now. In this industry, one flop can completely bury a company or cripple the company at the very least.

Either I have really lost touch with console releases or as you said, the buzz for this game is practically non-existent. I lurk video game websites every day like it's my job and had no idea this game was coming out or even existed.

 

[Oblivionmancer]

Day 1!

Spoiler

via redbox. sorry insomniac

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

So when the game bombs in NPD who is going to be the one that says it was only a "few days of sales"?

Anywhoooo, when is EA going to start advertising this thing?

As soon as they're done advertising for Shadows of the Damned, Syndicate, and Alice. They're just waiting for those megablockbusters to finally cool off, saleswise.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Me and my 3 buddies have this preordered. The more coop games in the world the better.

Well, you know with every EA partners game, EA does it's darndest to get the word out about it and.....Oh.

 

[Carl]

THey only printed one copy because that's all it will sell

 

[Napalm_Frank]

It is a big deal... just like Bungie making their first game for PS



Oh

It could be a big deal if their first multiplat game wasn't... this.

I mean I don't even have a friggin clue if this is the greatest game of all time or a real stinker. Everything about this game just oozes meh. They should have done something eyecatching ya know? They didn't need to go some uber colourful Ratchet clone or anything but just SOMETHING that would really catch the eye.

It is made even worse cause we are at the end of generation where this kinds of games are fighting an uphill battle.

It's almost like if Nintendo went 3rd party and their first game would be Wii Music 2.

 

[Diddy Kong]

First bomba on Xbox as well.

Ice cold.

 

[Square Triangle]

I wonder if that copy will be on a Target's clearance shelf next to all of those Brutal legend and Genji copies.

Holy shit, alr1ght beat me.

 

[SteveWinwood]

ooooo

I laughed but that's mean

 

[maquiladora]

THey only printed one copy because that's all it will sell

god damn

 

[Dysun]

1st of 5 million

Love Pachter! :lol
