That's focus group oriented game development for you. Insomniac were idiots for partnering up with EA. They should have partnered up with a less controlling 3rd party publisher. Or just stuck with being Sony's bitch and made the Fuse game they actually wanted to make, which Sony would have let them do.
Gods so what have Insomniac and EA got themselves into with another 10 years of horrible games, which Insomniac are going to hate making and EA are going to take a bath on publishing. Maybe there's an out clause if the first game bombs badly and EA will cut them loose. Hopefully the get picked up, otherwise we could see the death of this studio, and it would be sad for them to go out on such a low note.
