Fuse will continue in forms other than DLC.
Fuse from Insomniac Games is a co-op third-person shooter that is actually a blast to play alone, thanks to being able to switch between characters.
Whether self-published or under a larger company, these developers suffered their share of outside meddling.
The list is
Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Halo 2
Dragon Age 2
Fuse
Haze
Telltales's The Walking Dead
Dead Space 3
Dungeon Keeper
Need for Speed Payback
MGSV
Star Wars 1313
Lair
Middle Earth Shadow of War
GB says Halo 2 was terrible and they hail Halo 3 as being superior, but Halo 2 actually has a higher Metacritic and was actually a very fun game. I much preferred Halo 2 over Halo 3.
They rip Deus Ex MD yet if u ignore the overblown preorder controversy and the ridiculous little MTs it was actually received very well by critics. GB claims it had a poor reception, and it did commercially, but the game is an 84 Meta. It really didn't deserve to bomb commercially. If anything choose Deus Ex The Fall. Blame the publisher for turning a gritty, sophisticated stealth masterpiece into mobile trash.
I love me some Insomniac, but can we honestly blame EA for Fuse? Didn't Insomniac go multiplat in order to have more control? Yet EA made Fuse bad? I have to blame Ted Price on this one.
Sony wanted Six Axis implemented into Lair "allegedly" but Lair was flawed well beyond the Six Axis control scheme.
GB has a line where they say 'if u thought Ubisoft was above this" and then they mention Haze. Ubisoft is among the worst offenders, why would we think they are above mismanagement and greed when AC is ridiculously milked and their games are often stuffed with MTs? And who keeps buying The Crew? The Crew 2, a terrible sequel to a terrible game. Virtually every Ubisoft game is a "service" based game with MTs. Oh, and they've had numerous downgrades this gen. The funny thing is, ppl somehow slammed Sony for Haze.
Blame Disney for 1313, they were the ones who cut development once they acquired Lucas.
Project Hammer is another. Nintendo royally fucked over NST with that game leading to its cancelation and by that point, they were forced to change it to a Mii party game. Phantom Dust and Scalebound from MS as well. Sony with Lair.
Sometimes, games change drastically between their initial pitch and the version players get their hands on. Such was the case with these five games that would have been totally different if they'd stuck to their original pitch.
Oh hell no, Borderlands is perfect the way it is, that gritty/serious vibe would have killed the game
if this game had the ff13 battle system it would have been a joy to play. it just doesnt seem like a ff game to me
Twinfinite you come with some pretty cool lists but the fact that they're multi page kills it.
I was happy with how Prey turned out, but there was a reveal for Prey 2 and it looked awesome. They should still develop that concept into a stand alone game.
Don't bother
Hmmmm browsing his little post on their site I can't help but laugh and nit pick at some of the sentences.
*** and it’s doing stuff that no other 3rd person co-op shooter does. ***
Really? I'm pretty sure Borderlands does it better
*** We read the YouTube comments. We watch the forums. And we listen. ***
Obviously not very well since you seemed to give off the impression that everything was fine and nothing was wrong with it.
*** we continued to make adjustments to the game, adding more color; making sure the humor came through in emergent dialogue. ***
Sure you did
*** No, we didn’t make aesthetic changes because of a 12 year-old’s focus test comments ***
Oh yeah but you did listen to EA's focus testers after the Overstrike reveal.
*** and enjoy a co-op romp through a very “Insomniac” game ***
This is far from a game you guys would make, even with one CGI reveal trailer with Overstrike it looked more like a game you guys would make then FUSE.
*** We’ve already begun expanding what we’ve begun with Fuse. Right now as I write this we’re taking the core concepts behind Fuse and prototyping new stuff… ***
Until EA sees how crap the game has done and doesn't want to fund any more projects.
Oh Teddy, trying to sugarcoat this whole thing for yourself is making you look blind and silly. I really hope there will be no more FUSE games. I want them to realise that going multiplatform doesn't always get yourself loads of money. I just can't believe they refused to be bought buy Sony because they wanted their "freedom" and then they go with EA.
Im guessing the next game will be canceled. Fuse is not getting good reviews and I doubt it sells well. I like Insomniac but this game doesn't seem to great.
Fuse is awesome. Perfect co-op game.
As a third person shooter is just plain alright, but they better move quick because other developers are way ahead of them.
