Insomniac on Fuse Box Art: "We Took Some Creative Risks"

When the box art for Fuse was revealed last month, it fared no better in the eyes of critics than did its dull transition from the seemingly inspired and spirited Overstrike. Aside from the cliche space-marine look of the four figures, the bland grey backdrop, and the explosions of orange everywhere, the most notable feature was the characters' heads - or lack thereof. According to Insomniac's CEO Ted Price, this was an intentional and deliberate move.

LOL...

No you didn't it looks like your game...generic and boring.

Riderz13374170d ago

You just had to sell your soul to EA didn't you Insomniac. You made my most loved franchise, Ratchet & Clank. Looking at the creativity and originality of that game and then looking at Fuse....What happened?

-Mika-4170d ago

They most likely got tired of working on the same ips. Insominiac only worked on Resistance and the ratchet and clank ips for two gens. They were just tired of it and they wanted to try something new.

EA is what happen to the creativity. They're funding the game Afterall so if they want you to change something. You have to change it. Simple as that. Sony does this with some of their ips. Uncharted was suppose to be a fantasy game but sony told ND to make it more realistic.

mynameisEvil4170d ago

Only worked on Resistance and Ratchet and Clank? Did you forget, I don't know, SPYRO THE GODDAMN DRAGON?

*rolls eyes at Mika for the 15 billionth time*

cloud4954170d ago

There's two reasons, a bigger profit by releasing it on two platforms and owning their own IP. Sony owns ratchet and clank and resistance. Insomniac owns the fuse IP.

Soldierone4170d ago

@MynameisEvil, Insomniac hasn't worked with Spyro since PS1. Thus PS2 and ps3 are Two generations of constant Ratchet and Resistance.

Though I don't agree with the excuse. IG could have easily told Sony "let us do something new" and it would have happened, only issue is Sony would have wanted full rights to it.

Heavenly King4170d ago

Uncharted was never meant to be a fantasy game. Are you on crack?! DAFAQ!

Skips4170d ago

That was back in 2006 or something. lol

And that's really the ONLY franchise I've ever heard Sony change. Because last time I checked, it was like this if you did a game for Sony.

I bet it was EA who made them change the game.

-Alpha4170d ago (Edited 4170d ago )

Focus group. Or, as I call it "F***ed Us" Group

GSpartan7774170d ago

O_O It's box art talking season?

Braid4169d ago

Yep, when there's nothing to talk about, you start talking about cover arts. Except, there are always plenty of other things to talk about.

Mac is OK4170d ago

They say that the reason the heads are out of the picture is because they were trying to pull attention to the weapons, but I can barely see the weapons...

spicelicka4170d ago

exactly lol, wtf kind of reason is that, the weapons just look regular guns with orange crap coming out. They should've just shown the guns then. And no one would make that connection unless Price's description came written on the cover.

I think there's something to it. EA has a gun behind insomniac's head, and as a spokesman Ted Price is just forced to defend EA's demands.

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga1d 18h ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens521d 22h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_1d 17h ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

KwietStorm_BLM1d 17h ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka1d 1h ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz1d 21h ago (Edited 1d 21h ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_1d 17h ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz095d ago (Edited 5d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
