That's some bullshit. They haven't compromised anything. They're making the game they want to make.

I wish insomniac all the luck in the world. Ratchet and Clank is a great series and resistance 3 didn't get a fraction of the success it deserved.
That said, this title is doing absolutely nothing for me. It's unlikely to do very well for reasons already mentioned. Delay that game for the next gen. People are fatigued on the current gen and will be more accepting of a new IP on a new console with a small library of titles.
Maybe you should port it to the WiiU?

Not to make any specific judgement against Fuse (what do I know, it's not out yet), but there are plenty of games that get great reviews that I still don't give a shit about. Hooray for different people having their own personal tastes!

Reviews don't mean much. Resistance 2 has a 86% average and is one of the biggest sleeping pills i have played this generation.

lol holy shit invisible walls on Gametrailers totally called this. they knew EA had to move something around because they couldn't have so many co-op third person shooters in the same time frame (ie. Dead Space 3, Army of Two, Fuse).
iMax and Quentyn are listening to the call and it's delayed to Q1 FY2014 aka April-June 2013.
1-3 months isn't *that* long.

You're absolutely correct Nert. But following these FUSE threads as I have, and having even voiced my own problems with some choices that Insomniac did, it still shocks me a bit the kind of vitriol toward Insomniac that some show. It goes beyond wishing the game fails a metascore.
Q1 2014 is April, May, June.

The game could review amazingly well and I could still not like it. It could review terribly and I could love it.
There's no direct line from Metacritic to my head.
Financial Year. What Nyrolak posted above.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Hopefully this will provide an opportunity to focus test the rest of the personality out of this thing.
I'm with Insomniac Games. Haters be damned.Wow,.. I hope for Gaf this game doesn't get great reviews. There won't be enough crows

A June release would probably be the best. Very little ever hits that month.

Yep I agree here.
I forgot EA was publishing. I wonder how much say they had in all of it.

True. But people are saying ridiculous things about a game they haven't played yet.
I have certainly had my doubts, and still do, about some of the choices insomniac has made. But some of the stuff i'm reading here is with soo much certainty that the game will be horrible that it's painfull to read.
No, it's not that great scores will make them instantly want the game. But after reviews there will be much more known about the games' true quality.
Some statements are truelly a bit premature and way to bold.
Next gen hype
It's where games without any marketing or hype, regardless of quality, go to die.
See: Spec Ops: The Line.
Fuze in June could literally be the end of Insomniac Games.
I'm with them too....just not for this game. This is mass market focus tested shooter #371 and I can't get behind that.

Therefore, I post on Gaf.
I never said new IP's are good, neither did I imply that. People constantly complain about publishers pushing out different iterations of the same IP year after year. Here is a long standing developer, who has made great games in the past, going mutli-plat for the first time (which is big enough risk alone these days).
From the previews I've read about it, they say it's fun, good enough for me.
Plus, people have established generic always = BAD.
Next time you want to try to sound like a smart a**, try doing with some class and a little creativity wouldn't hurt.

Merciless, some of ye.
Poor Insomiac, tis a shame. They've failed to show me why I should care, but maybe when Giantbomb do a QL I'll grow to understand.
Although at this stage in the cycle it would have to be pretty special to get me interested in a third person shooter.

See thats something I don't understand. This notion that if a game comes out in the summer months, its not worth caring about. As far as I'm concerned a lot of people missed out on an amazing game like Spec ops.

So did you not actually mean what you wrote or are you backpedaling so furiously that we should expect to see you in an Oprah interview soon?
You're telling -people to act counter to their tastes because it's a new IP. If that's not what you meant, then you have serious problems expressing yourself.

Why not a RPG / Noir / horror, those possible could sell better. But its another shooter, hope to be wrong.

I'm still on the fence about the game. I wish I could play a demo for it

I love the use of 'Greatest Hits'. Should have used the EU Platinum range box art it's very garish.

Don't seem to be backpedaling anywhere. And wouldn't mind being on Oprah, people make a lot money getting on that show.
Yeah the post could be a little extreme, but please don't ignore them if so many people is pointing the same thing about your game is because there is some truth.
An early beta or demo could show them that they are wrong and the game is good.

I wish this game never existed.
Sorry, IG. I love the Ratchet & Clank series, but this really looks so bland, generic and... boring? Such a change compared to R&C
I just want a worthy AciT sequel.
What the hell.....
Is it that hard not to buy a game?
Nobody played anything.

I still hold the opinion that insomniac needs the first party safety net to be relevant.
Well the vast mayority of people who play videogames, buy games without even playing it. Trailers and reviews help a lot in the decision and from what IG showed us is not doing any good.

good on them now it has a chance to not bomb complete now it will only bomb a little.
Oh great one, when will 720 and PS4 be announced? Also when can we expect Agent and The Last Guardian?

More polish in this case. We had a solid good game at the end of last year and we got a ton of feedback over the break we are making some great polish changes to the game. It's incredible having the extra time right now to make the game even better
