| kain_kusanagi said: I'm looking forward to the game. Everything I've seen looks good. My only concern is that it will focus too much on co-op to that point that if I play it single player I won't have fun. I played all the Gears of Wars games single player first and enjoyed them very much. If Fuse is just as much fun in SP as co-op than I'll get it. |
Though we struggled to come to terms with Fuse’s difficulty level and style of play that emphasised teamwork over solo gung-ho theatrics, it was the AI that consistently let the side down during our brief gameplay stint.
Though far from a finished build of the game (especially now considering Fuse’s delay) the AI struggled to deal with the complex co-op interactions that were required.
Even with one person helming another character, the AIs inability to interact with what we were doing had a definite impact on our success. Despite Insomniac’s Ted Price’s insistence, rarely would an AI controlled character run to our aid and help us back into the fight
Recognising the awkwardness of playing Fuse alone, Insomniac has included a ‘hot-swap’ feature that allows you to ‘Leap’ between unoccupied characters and utilise their distinct abilities. This should give you some idea just how important each character is to the success of a mission but also just how limiting the AI actually is.
