Fuse: 4 Things You Didn’t Know About Insomniac’s New Shooter

X360: Fuse is taking co-op play to a whole new level, but can Insomniac focus its energies and ensure it can build on what Gears Of War and Army Of Two have already done?

Really? I'm not so sure, it seems Insomniac hasn't managed to realise a lot of its ideas as well as it usually does.

I will still provide support just on fact that their stepping away from their comfort zone & trying new things, also many times it may take a game or two before all ideas & concept are perfected. JMT

I REALLY hope this game does well, there hasn't been a good coop game in ages. Even the recent Army of two sucks ass, even compared to the last two in the series. doesn't even offer as much cooperative mechanics, just feels like playing a typical cover based TPS but with a partner

They did a great job with co-op in resistance 2 but went away from the formula that made resistance 1 so great & is why resistance 2 wasnt as good. I hope they can do it right this time with this new franchise.

Grimhammer004060d ago

I'm day 1'ing this.
I have faith and also think they know there rep is on the line. Jumping to multiplatform - they need to prove themselves to the other half.

Also, I really hope that objectives change on the fly.
I might be wrong, but I believe that they said its not just a so co-op story. I hope it's similar to syndicate. Mission based replay. Just add dynamic objectives and it'll be better than many other co-op games!

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai2d ago

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.

Cacabunga2d ago

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

InUrFoxHole1d 6h ago

You think Phil did that? 🤣

MrBaskerville6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

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.

MrBaskerville6h ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

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_2d ago

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

MrBaskerville6h ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM2d ago

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

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

NotoriousWhiz2d ago (Edited 2d 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_2d 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.

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