Figured I would make a thread as Axe and I are pretty hyped for it.
Release date May 30.

Its a 4 player co-op with bots filling reaming potions and the ability to jump between them. Supports drop-in-out with bots replacing the player.

DALTON BROOKS - Magshield - Creates deployable cover using Fuse and a unique ferrofluid. The shield can be triggered to repel almost any projectile it traps in a powerful blast. It’s also handy for pushing forward into battle and clearing out enemies in the way. Shields can also be dropped for cover, enhancing Dalton Brooks’ prowess as a tank.

ISABELLE “IZZY” SINCLAIR - Shattergun - Uses compressed melanite rounds augmented with Fuse to encase enemies in living crystal. Crystalizing an enemy will also lift them up, making it perfect for pulling groups out of cover. A secondary fire deploys a Med Beacon that heals agents in battle even if they are not in your immediate vicinity.

JACOB KIMBLE - Arcshot - Fires high-velocity bolts armed with Fuse-augmented mercury. The Arcshot is scoped to allow for long-range precision. Once bolts are released they can be charged to emit a fiery burst that liquifies enemies. Because of this, bolts can also be used to set traps on groups of enemies.

NAYA DEVERAUX - Warp Rifle - Combines anti-matter with Fuse to create violent singularities. Groups of enemies can also be “painted” with shots that can create an even more powerful chain effect. The upgrade provides the user with a cloaking ability to aid in stealth assassinations and reviving downed teammates.


Fuse Echelon Live Stream w/ Ted Price That goes for an hour and showcases their horde mode and looks hectic and fast-paced to say the least and manages to look good and stable at the same time plus who doesn't like giant robots.

Well threaded, that Spectre .  This looks really good, and Insomniac make themselves a really good game.  Throw in their experience with coop in Resistance 2 and 3, and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, and they've got some quality experience making coop shooters hum.  And a lot of shooter experience as well.  It hasn't had a lot of buzz (other than complaints over the change in art style), but I'd bet good money that there's a quality game here .

This does look really good and fast-paced. It would be fun in the co-op calling out whoever's healing, reviving or throwing up a shield to cover each other with all the different classes and tactics to play around with - (I just like co-op lol). Might see if I can get some other friends interested in it too .

Looks really good.  The wave & objective model is very similar to ME3's co-op, involving teamwork, strat n killing stuff.   I recon I will be in for FUSE

[straussy240]

Yeah looks interesting I was just chatting with Axe the other day how I have been enjoying co-op games a lot more lately and this looks right up my alley

Esp co-op with repeatability    which a lot of 'wave/hoard' modes can give if they do it right.   I wouldnt be surprised if we see more of these types of co-op in future, as opposed to the R3/BL2 in-story mode style.

[spectre51]

Good to see other interested in this. I most likely won't get this at launch given EA recent trend of charging $89, why can't you be like Ubisoft and charge $69. This is DLCs fault as now I like to get games cheaper to offset potential DLC costs.

[I_live_4_fun]

Yeah, I think I'll eventually get it too hehe. If the reviews are good though and there's a few people definitely getting it then I might get it at launch. I'll just avoid EB Games around pre-order time... I'm a sucker for that hehe .

NOOOOOOO, not EA servers please no!!!  

So it will be P2P but with a mandatory connection to EA servers that will drop ya for random reasons.  RNG is everywhere Straussy, even the net code

Unfortunately yes, but you never know Insomniac could use their own servers they are one of the bigger independent developers left.

So were Bioware   we can all dream Spec, and hope is a wonderful thing

Seriously though, I hope your right!

FUSE character infographs

[Axe99]

Haha, those infographs go nicely - that's classic Insomniac.  Human body + black hole = gooey residue, possibly with car keys .

[spectre51]

Release date May 28 NA, May 31 EU so May 30 for us I would guess.

[spectre51]

Some more in info from PAX:

• Each character has 35 levels that require multiple playthroughs to max all 4 out. Each character also has their own sequences/cinematics the story.
  
• There are over 60 different ways of combing each players xeno-tech together to get exp.
  
• No online pass.
  
• Randy Pitchford showed up on the panel to give at bit of support over the change in art direction, "I just wanted to say that when we started development on Borderlands, we had a gritty art style and then we changed it to cel shading," "We had people coming out of the woodwork telling us how stupid we were." "Go with your gut."

Also a Q&A on PS Blog.

Time for a good old bump.   Official game site:  http://www.insomniac...mes/fuse/#/home

I've been keeping an eye on this game. Insomniac has always done right by gamers. Game looks good. As long as the connection is solid and voice chat works I'm in.

[Jykel]

Yeah good call Batty, stable servers, good voice coms and good controller layout and I will be a happy camper

Oh and no random store!!!
