Overstrike looked good. It seemed quirky and full of personality. I was pretty excited about playing the scientist girl.

Fuse? It looks bland. It might be a lot of fun but none of the personality from the Overstrike trailer appeared in the Fuse trailer. This game has been remodeled to appeal to the military shooter demographic, which is already over-saturated.

Xxain, I didn't know you were into these types of games. I thought u hated shooters.

FPS I hate. No problem with 3rd person. This is less about the genre and about Insomniac still not learning anything. To think this company created Spyro the Dragon. Where is that type of imagination?

It's gone from gaming.

saw some gameplay the other day while watching x-play(yes..x-play) the game looks promising, as long as they keep the characters full of emotion like the trailer it could be a good game

I would have been more terrified of the fact that I was revealing what looks to be another generic and bland shooter title.

I wish they would have put their development resources into something more... fresh than the shooter genre.

When it was Overstrike, it looked like they were going for coop with an emphasis on humor. That is the territory of Borderlands, so it looks like they backed off from that. And with backing off from that, they wade into the territory of attempting to make a more serious shooter. Who knows how it will turn out now.

If someone is going to jump in and say here: BORDERLANDS HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH FUSE! BORDERLANDS IS AN FPS, WHILE FUSE IS A THIRD-PERSON SHOOTER! I will say "Stuff it". Reality is that Third-person shooters and FPS involving lining up crosshairs, aiming and shooting and have sufficient crossover from a market standpoint, that Fuse and Borderlands compete.
