So, Insomniac makes it transition to multi-platform games and this is what they have to offer? A trailer full of generic characters and extremely poor humor? Oh look, the ever so often used former "badass" alcoholic cop. An asian chick who can turn invisible. A token black guy and another character not even worth remembering. I like two Rachet and Clank games while ignoring the garbage Resistance series. Can anybody tell me why EA would even be interested in teaming up with this mediocre bunch??

EA teamed up with them cause the dev team is talented and I expect great things from this game.

Exactly. Thats why I'm confused as to why EA would even do business with them. What big selling games have they ever released? Have they ever even released a game in contention for GOTY? Overstrike will be another mediocre game added to their mediocre catalog. Watch.....

I disagree. I love how you judged ALL of the characters from a single trailer.

Wasnt all that awful, it looks interesting. I just dont think they presented most of the characters well to give them some identity that I could recognize. Need to see proper gameplay though.

I actually thought that it was a really good trailer. The art direction was great and I very much enjoyed it's charm. Usually insomniac's games have terribel humor like the Ratchet and Clank games but this I liked

I thought it looked good. It was funny. Reminded me of The Incredibles for some reason. Besides, not much you can tell from a CG trailer.

I thought it looked good, and showed a lot of the same trademark humor they've used with R&C.

So your opinion speaks for all gamers? Their games are usually a consensus 80 or higher and sell several million. Insomniac was considered one of the hottest and most sought after independent 3rd party devs. That is why EA went after them.

That trailer was enough to get me interested.Insomniac makes fantastic weapons and the R&C games are hilarious and fun to play. It showed be enough for me to give them the benefit of the doubt even though I dislike the Resistance series.

I've never played a single Insomniac game, and even I know that trailer was generic.

It's The Incredibles all over again. There are some things you are allowed to judge. I don't care if there isn't a Wii U/PC version because the game will definitely be weak.

Something like Sanzaru Games working on Sly Cooper 4 shouldn't be judged, however.

You can't even say the game will be weak. This is how it always is though. New IPs have a hard time making a first good impression on people.

Well, all one would be able to judge from the trailer is the games style and maybe the fact there will be co-op. Besides, insomniac rules! Making some of the best and most polished platformers of Spyro and R&C. While Resistance is a great FPS with one of the most interesting settings we have seen in a game.

I thought it looked cheesy and over the top, but in a good way. Kinda like duke nukem in a sense. Have to wait and see if it actually is fun to play though, but it at least has me interested.

i am sad because of the way some people ahve been treating insomniac, and the absolutely attrocious things that people have been saying about them, they are one of the best devs in the industry and truthfully, anyone who talks trash about insomniac because they went multiplat, because they dont like the way one of their games look, or thinks that they should have stayed exclusive to sony, anyone who truthfully believes those things doesnt deserve to be a gamer, also, i thought the overstrike trailer was downright awesome, really made me want to play the game

I never insinuated I had a problem with them going multiplat. Hell, I game on my PC waaay more than my consoles. My issue is the generic approach they took with their first multi-plat title. Also, please stop acting like Insomniac is Naughty Dog, Epic or Bungie. They don't even have ONE series that leads any genre in critical acclaim. They have a bunch of decent titles just like a ton of other devs. Nothing makes them stand apart from the pack...

Exactly. Thats why I'm confused as to why EA would even do business with them. What big selling games have they ever released? Have they ever even released a game in contention for GOTY? Overstrike will be another mediocre game added to their mediocre catalog. Watch.....

Disruptor, Spyro the Dragon series, Resistance series, Ratchet & Clank series

Not very pleased with the trailer. Even though I liked Insomniac Games' platformers, I will need to see a lot more innovation coming from this game before I feel interested in it in the slightest bit.
