It's now marketed as a totally different game...with a Pixar/The Incredibles vibe with humour in Overstrike only to become a gory military sci-fi title with Fuse.

No they didn't. It was just conjecture, and the line was that it would cost "over a billion" and some idiot reported that as an offer. Gabe never commented on that either.

At any rate they took a game I wanted to play and apparently turned it into a game I don't want to play.

The first trailer looks heavily CGI based, the second shows some gameplay but is cut for all the Michael Bay fireballs, I suspect neither are indicative of what the game is actually like. I suppose all you can say about this is EA's marketing mentality and how it sucks hairy balls, but I don't think either can be used to determine the quality of the actual game.

Guess which game was released last week? Overstri.... I mean Fuse!

Metacratic score of 63

Some reviewer quotes:

Quote:
Fuse seems like it took the template for a co-op shooter and forgot to take the time to modify that template to give the game a soul. Much like the title of the game, Fuse is generic and easily forgotten.


Quote:
Insomniac has definitely proven that they can make a rock-solid, third-person shooter, but all of the testosterone that was injected into the weaponry may have neutered the overall experience.


Quote:
Repetitive and rather poor, FUSE is a failed experiment by Insomniac, which produces a TPS like many others.


Quote:
Like four boring cover-shooters layered together. Inventive firearms aside, there’s a crippling lack of ideas: the weapon interplay is mild fun, but it can’t elevate the bland whole.


Quote:
There’s nothing remarkable about it – it feels like a game we’ve seen a hundred times before.


Quote:
Insomniac’s initial plan has devolved into a conglomerative representation of the military-shooter market’s complete saturation, a blueprint of a lack of imagination.


Bland and generic is what the verdict appears to be.
