Yesterday, EA announced it has teamed up with Insomniac Games to create a new four-person co-op shooter called Fuse. Now, EA has released a new trailer for their upcoming game, after a slight delay due to legal reasons, revealing what you can expect from Fuse when it arrives.
EA explained yesterday about the delayed Fuse trailer:
“We had an awesome trailer planned and finished. Unfortunately, a last-minute legal rights issue has prevented us from releasing the trailer as planned,”-“EA is trying to obtain the necessary approvals and we hope to bring the trailer to you soon. After discussing internally, we wanted to stop the countdown and explain what happened.”
Game Setting and Storyline
Fuse is set in the near future and follows a team of four misfit agents collectively known as Overstrike 9. These agents infiltrate enemy strongholds using fringe-tech gadgets and lethal teamwork. The game promises to deliver a rich narrative experience, with each character having a unique backstory and set of abilities. The team members include Dalton Brooks, a former mercenary; Izzy Sinclair, a hacker extraordinaire; Jacob Kimble, a detective with a penchant for crossbows; and Naya Deveraux, an assassin with a mysterious past. Each character’s unique skills and gadgets will be crucial for overcoming the various challenges and enemies they will face.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Fuse will provide gamers with story-driven action, allowing players to level up their characters along specific paths both online and offline. The game will feature a unique “LEAP” mechanic, which allows players to switch between characters on the fly, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay. This feature ensures that players can adapt to different combat situations by utilizing the strengths of each team member.
The game also emphasizes cooperative play, encouraging players to work together to combine their abilities for devastating effects. For example, Dalton’s Mag Shield can be used to protect the team from incoming fire, while Naya’s Warp Rifle can create singularities that suck in enemies, making them easy targets for Jacob’s Arcshot. This synergy between characters is designed to make the gameplay experience more dynamic and engaging.
Visuals and Technical Aspects
Fuse is being developed using Insomniac’s proprietary engine, which promises to deliver stunning visuals and smooth performance on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game will feature highly detailed environments, ranging from high-tech laboratories to exotic locales, each filled with interactive elements and destructible objects. The character models are also meticulously designed, with each agent sporting a distinct look that reflects their personality and role within the team.
The game’s audio design is equally impressive, featuring a dynamic soundtrack that adapts to the action on screen. Voice acting is provided by a talented cast, ensuring that the characters’ personalities shine through in both cutscenes and gameplay.
Release Date and Anticipation
Fuse will be launching in March 2013 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game has already generated significant buzz within the gaming community, thanks to its unique blend of cooperative gameplay, engaging storyline, and high production values. Fans of Insomniac Games’ previous titles, such as the Resistance and Ratchet & Clank series, are particularly excited to see what the studio has in store with this new IP.
As the release date approaches, EA and Insomniac Games are expected to reveal more details about the game, including additional gameplay footage, character profiles, and developer interviews. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch of Fuse.
