Fuse Co-Op FAQ

Andrew Gaskill

Fuse marks Insomniac Game's first foray into multiplatform gaming. The squad-based, third-person shooter is built for cooperative play. Our Co-Op FAQ will guide you of co-op functionality, including player counts in local, online, and combo play, player connectivity, and character and story progression.

Fuse Launch Trailer and Co-Op Demo Impressions

Andrew Gaskill

The Fuse "launch" trailer is now live. The game doesn't come out for like a week and a half so that's... weird. Why do I have the feeling there's going to be another trailer? The video offers a sliver of back story and features the prerequisite cool weapon footage and an abundance of explosions, faceless bad guys, and exploding faceless bad guys. I know, I know, it's still not Overstrike, but it looks like it has potential to be a pretty decent squad-based shooter.

Fuse Demo Out This Week

Andrew Gaskill

This week there's a whole lotta nothing going on. Monaco might be out on Friday, but I'll believe it when I see it. The Co-Optimus Release Calendar is woefully barren. I even checked on the status of Crimson Dragon and Blood Knights. Nah, I'm kidding. I doubt those games are ever coming out. The only new cooperative experience that will sate our need for digitized human companionship is a demo for Fuse, Insomniac's third person, class-based, super soldier shooter.

New Fuse Trailer Offers a Villain's Perspective, Insomniac's CEO Offers Insight on Co-Op

Andrew Gaskill

The latest trailer for Insomniac's cooperative shooter, Fuse, allows us to see things from the Raven leaders' point of view. They're simple people, really.-simple people running a technologically advanced paramilitary organization bent on global domination. The leaders of this force are trying to capture the Fuse substance to reshape the world. Of course, their vision of this new world is one of profiteering, toppled governments, terror, and supplication.

Fuse, Explodes on May 28th

Sam Tyler

There be much talk of a new generation coming, of super consoles that will track the thoughts of your brain and plug you directly into the Matrix, but before that, we have 2013 to contend with. One current generation game that hopes to take your fancy is Fuse, a 4 player co-op shooter that now has the official release date of May 28th 2013.

Fuse Infographics Give you Info...and Graphics

Nick Puleo

Boom goes the infographics! Everyone loves them. I think. Either way we've got them for you to check out for Fuse, the upcoming Insomniac Games co-op shooter that looks to have some solid potential. The one sheets show off the character, some background, their weapons and skills and how they'll behave in the game's four player co-op campaign.

Fuse Videos Show off Main Characters

John Bardinelli

While we're still reeling from the unfathomably painful delay of "a few months" Insomniac recently placed on Fuse, we can still get a little teaser of what's waiting for us. A handful of videos recently released shows off the main characters in Fuse, including Dalton "Guy with that Big Shield" Brooks, Izzy "Who Kicks a Lot" Sinclair, Jacob "I Have a Crossbow" Kimble, and Naya "Ha Ha Can't See Me" Deveraux. Bet you'll never forget their special abilities now, will you?

Fuse Hands on Co-Op Impressions

Nick Puleo

It was last October that Tally went hands on with Fuse, the upcoming action game from Insomniac. You can check out that preview for the backstory of Fuse and a bit about the characters themselves. Recently EA held another preview event in NYC and I went hands on with the game this time, checking out both the co-op campaign and the co-op mode called Echelon.

Fuse Pushed Back to Q2

Andrew Gaskill

Fuse has suffered a slight delay. The sci-fi-themed, third-person shooter was scheduled for a March release. Now it won't see the light of day until *gasp* April, May, or June. Oh. That's not so bad. Developer Insomniac Games confirmed the delay via their Twitter account. So don't freak out. It's a small delay during which Insomniac can polish the game until it's nice and shiny. The developer also tweeted that they have "TONS of new Fuse stuff coming starting next week." Heck yeah. If there's one thing I love, it's TONS of stuff.

Fuse Trailer Covers the Rules

Andrew Gaskill

Remember when Overstrike was announced, and everyone was like, "Coooooooool?" Then remember when it became Fuse, and everyone simultaneously lost interest? Remember how it got worse when the box art was revealed, and each character's head was bizarrely cropped out, literally making the four playable characters little more than faceless soldiers clad in generic battle armor? Yeah. That was a bummer. Despite those missteps, Fuse still looks pretty damn good in action, and that's what really matters.

New Screens for Fuse Will Blow Your Mind

Nick Puleo

We just got a handful of new screens for Insomniac's upcoming co-op shooter, Fuse. The screens showcase some actual gameplay and also feature our characters up close and personal. I gotta say - the game is looking really gorgeous. This late in the console generation it's amazing what some of the developers are able to squeeze out of a 7 year old piece of hardware.
