They should've delayed this and made it a launch title for PS4/Nextbox. Launching a new IP in a crowded genre on saturated hardware with no immediately distinguishable features in one of the busiest months for releases is insane.

[Positive Touch]

nobody woulda bought this shit regardless, come on now

[Huff]

not dubsteppy enough

[Rahxephon91]

Wow, so they retooled it into the most generic looking crap possible. I mean I'm not sure who would have bought the TF2 looking cartoony game, but this just looks like this gen's stereotype come to life. It kind of sums up this gen actually.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

They really fucked up.  Obviously they needed to do something, because nobody gave a shit, but this is the worst.

Bulletstorm 2012

Bulletstorm was good!

as for the game that art change was dissapointing imo

also Insomniac has been getting reamed by GAF lately and that's without the sony fans (though they are not there to defend them either   )

fixed

[Trent Dole]

A generic shooter with some freaky shield and bullet gimmicks?

[Rahxephon91]

I never really saw what was great about Insomniac anyway.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

I never really saw what was great about Insomniac anyway.

The Ratchet and Clanks were varied, fun shooter/platformers with a lot of toys to play with.  But yeah, they were mostly just a reliable dev with consistent ability to make good, if not great, games frequently and on time.  I think the desire to keep up that pace under different and not-conducive conditions resulted in a general dip in quality.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Holy shit that looks generic as hell.

Resistance 1 was good shit, why can't they go for that setting again? Something to keep the fans happy.

[Fifstar]

[Takao]

The weapons look cool and all but holy crap this is generic:

I'm surprised Geoff remembered anything other than "Fuse".

Insomniac is going to learn the hard way what happens to B+ level developers that don't have a hive protecting them.

Worse off is that not only did they lose the SDF, they also lose Sony's marketing. While it's true SCE pretty much DGAFed about Ratchet All 4 One (with good reason), and sent Resistance 3 to the scrap heap it's still more than what this game's gonna get. EA didn't even feel it was important enough to show at Gamescom. To them, its' announcement was just another Thursday ...

[Eel O'Brian]

nobody woulda bought this shit regardless, come on now

As a launch title? People will buy anything at a console launch. I bought fuckin' Kameo.

[Eel O'Brian]

I have a fondness for the Resistance games in the same way I have a fondness for schlocky sci-fi/horror movies. Resistance 3 is a legit good game. This...looks like one of those Korean F2P shooters.

This.

Insomniac has always been pretty overrated to me because they were exclusive to Sony.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

This looks INCREDIBLY, I dunno, boring would still  be a feeling. Incredibly extant.

Yeah, this is definitely A GAME, I guess.

That's been going on for over a year now, since their EA thing was announced

But even then it was nowhere near as venomous as it is right now and i guess the style change in overstrike is the thing that broke the camel's back so to speak.

Plus they still had some sony fans in their corner but now its focus test distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who went to play the game and "loved it" and fucking Loudninja, everyone else has seemingly jumped ship

Eggbrecht head. :'(

Although he hasn't done anything since then so he hasn't had to feel the jilted rage of ex-lovers/fanboys.

And to add to this list: Ninja Theory 

[Stoney Mason]

The art style change is probably meaningless. Whether you prefer realistic style graphics or ratchet and clank whimsy style graphics, the game probably plays close to what it always was. The dumb thing was to show off that early trailer with those cartoony style graphics with no real gameplay. That's why the fanboys are backlashing. Because their whimsy dreams have been dashed.

dyack [dahy-ak]
noun
1. Any object that lacks a definable positive quality or interesting trait, something that's easily forgettable or which does not even register at first glance: This game is a total dyack, wouldn't waste a dime on it

[benjipwns]

If it had a PC version I might look into it during a Steam sale, Insomniac has been fairly good in the past at making cool weapons.

The more I watch this trailer, the more is just looks like a generic TPS! The first Overstrike trailer had so much personality, so much creativity in a world of dark and gritty FPS games. It looks as though Insomniac Games have given in to the demographic that stands out the most today (AKA the Call of Duty demographic) and have completely re-designed Overstrike to fit that loop. Who is to blame for this? EA perhaps? We'll never know. I do know one thing: THIS IS IN NO WAY AN "EVOLUTION"!

Saw on Wario64's Twitter, didn't know WTF was going on, did some research, laughed.

while i don't think EA is fully to blame i still dug this pic 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I remember that Argentinian sfag distinguished mentally-challenged fellow on GAF, Fersis that had a "I wuv you" avatar of Ted Price.  I wonder if he still has it now that Ted has forsaken lord and God Sony?

[Tasty]

Fersis was a Sony fan?!

[Owl-faced Wizard]

He was harmless as sonystans go, though.  I didn't mind him at all.

[Cascade]

Fersis was a Sony fan?!

Come on son.gif. Seriously?

[Tasty]

I genuinely never knew. I feel like a straight frat dude that just found out one of his best bros is gay and has possibly been eye-raping him the whole time.

He dropped that when KOFXIII came out.

Overstrike looks like something I might have bought. Fuze doesn't.

Oh, right. From "stalker" and "fan," from the Eminem song.

Oh, ok.

No, Fersis wasn't too obnoxious but he was still a big ol' sfag.  I just remember he was one of the most hyped up over Insomniac's B+ level wares on the PS3 and I wondered what he thought now that they've tainted themselves by going multiplatform.

No he still supports them but KOF and his SNK fanboyism took over

[Stoney Mason]

Common word from him and other seems to be: It's all EA's fault. Despite, you know, no proof behind that statement.

Glancing over at that thread that seems to be the common hive mind defense. God I hate videogame nerds and GAF.

[Rahxephon91]

This is an EA partners(hehe) game right? Wouldn't that mean Insomniac has control over it?
