Fuse = Haze

Another unfortunate parallel to draw:

Free Radical's previous series (Timesplitters) was filled with humour; cultural references; in-jokes and was basically just a hilarious game. I'd put it forward that Insomniac similarly put a lot of humour into the Ratchet & Clank series.

Haze completely eschewed using humour to instead focus on "serious themes"; and Fuse looks to be doing exactly the same. Especially disappointing after that Overstrike trailer.

I worry about the game. But I'll buy it regardless. Insomniac have earned my trust.

Also, Insomniac may not have disappointed (yet) but they also haven't worked with EA like this before. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some toes being stepped on and some directions being forced for Insomniac... Which makes no fucking sense to me because you know what you are getting with Insomniac and you know what they do best. I wouldn't be surprised if EA is forcing mediocrity out of Insomniac. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something like this from an ex developer in a few years
