Learn Dalton's Rules In The Latest Trailer For Fuse

Kyle Hilliard — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 02:18:00 GMT

Dalton, part of the foursome that makes up the Overstrike 9 team in Insomniac's upcoming game Fuse, explains the rules to being a tattooed man with a gun.

The first rule is one that most professional assassins and mercenaries claim to stick to, always break, and it ends up becoming their downfall, but also their salvation. Dalton is probably different, though.

Fuse is coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year, and if you reserve it now you get access to exclusive team extras including upgraded uniforms, customized weapons, and increased damage.

The Firepower Of Fuse

Matthew Kato — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:16:00 GMT

Fuse was already announced as Overstrike last year and was recently teased at PAX, but today developer Insomniac officially announced the title and revealed some new screens for the game.

Fuse is based around the 4-player co-op of the Overstrike 9 team. The special forces unit is called in by the CIA to stop a group known as Raven from stealing a powerful alien energy called Fuse which powers the game's weapons.

Players can combine their weapons and abilities for maximum firepower (you can also switch between party members at will in single-player), and upgrade them by earning and spending Fuse points.

For more on the game, take a look at this teaser talking about the game's characters.

Fuse is scheduled to come out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March.

Check out the first screens and info on the new cooperative action game from the makers of Ratchet & Clank and Resistance.

Insomniac has updated their official website with details on the new game, including several screens as well as box shots of the game on both Xbox 360 and PS3.

Overstrike is set in a near-future setting where four unique player characters work together cooperatively to destroy enemy strongholds. According to Insomniac, the team members include: "an ex-mercenary, Interpol’s most wanted thief, a gifted young scientist and a decorated detective."

The game has now been confirmed to include 4-player co-op play. Insomniac also promises that the game will include both the exotic weapons that the developer is known for, along with a "touch of humor."
