Anxious to get your hands on Fuse, the four-player cooperative third-person shooter? Well, we now have a release date. Fuse arrives May 28th in North America and May 31st in Europe. Fuse, of course, is from developer Insomniac Games and marks the first one of its titles to ever appear on the Xbox 360. Originally called Overstrike, Fuse puts you and your friends in control of four mercs and unleashes you on a whirlwind adventure.
In a new FAQ published on the Insomniac website, the developer asked itself, "Online pass?"
"Nope," it answered. "But, you should still buy it new to support us because there are no micro-transactions to make up for it, though. "
EA came under fire recently for the inclusion of micro-transactions in Dead Space 3, but Fuse, a co-op shooter for up to four players, is published by EA under the EA Partners label - EA's division that releases games made by companies it doesn't own.
Previous EA Partners games include 38 Studios' Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Valve's Portal 2 and Crytek's Crysis 3.
Meanwhile, Insomniac confirmed a demo of Fuse will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 "closer to release". The game is due out at the end of May.
I feel bad for this game and insomniac. It has gone gold and very close to release and still not a hint of promotion from EA. It's being lambasted heavily on gaming sites like Gaf and sadly, i'm inclined to agree. I really hope this turns out to be a really fun co-op game because I can see myself really enjoying another one of these. I'm still playing ME3 MP to this day.

Fuse Villains Trailer
The latest trailer for Insomniac's Fuse sets up the story by giving you the perspective of the villains. They do have their own motivations. They're not evil for no good reason, after all.

Ok yung mga weapons pero parang generic itsura nito for an Insomniac game.

Oo nga eh, lacks a certain amount of polish that you'd expect from an Insomniac game. Gameplay looks just alright to me.

Controls aren't as snappy as I would want to and the AI is questionable. *Sigh*
Well at least Shepard and Liara are there. Yay?

THE VERDICT
This is a loud, chaotic, and fun bit of extraordinary violence in an otherwise lighthearted world, but it rarely achieves the greatness it strives for. If you can overlook the tonal inconsistencies, Fuse’s shallow, familiar shooting can thrive. Success comes when the unacceptable teammate A.I. is replaced by a group of friends unleashing the awesome power of their alien-powered weaponry. Fuse is an all-or-nothing experience, though. Bring a full crew or don’t waste your time.
6.5
OKAY
Fuse is an entertaining co-op action game, but its limited thrills are wasted if you can't play with four friends.
+Fun co-op
+Cool weapons
– Bad A.I.
– Confused tone
– Baffling story
I was following this game since I like Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank and Resistance (mainly Resistance 2) games. I enjoyed the demo also, and I imagine it's fun if you have 4 people to play with, but I still have 2nd thoughts on purchasing this game brand new based on the reviews that I read.
Accdg to Datablitz's FB Page, P2,050 yung R3. Pagisipan ko na lang, I may get it next week since I'm still finishing up on Resident Evil Revelations.
