Stupid laws. Always getting in the way. Can't you see that I want to VIDOE GAM?
Speaking seriously, the Fuse website (aka "The Game Formerly Known As Overstrike" or "Not Overstrike") had a countdown on it since it was revealed (or re-revealed) that would, hypothetically, reveal something when the clock reached "0." Well, it got there. And instead of revealing another piece of what will probably be an extended marketing campaign, we got…an apology letter. Huh? Part of the letter from Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price reads:
Hey everyone,
During my keynote speech at PAX, I revealed the first screenshot from Fuse, our new game, with a link to this website. If you visited the site, you found a countdown clock that was scheduled to end at 6 am Pacific Daylight Time on September 12th.
We had an awesome trailer planned and finished. Unfortunately a last minute legal-right issue has prevented us from releasing the trailer as planned. EA is trying to obtain the necessary approvals and we hope to bring the trailer to you soon. After discussing internally we wanted to stop the countdown and explain what happened.
In the interim, we’re proceeding with our other plans for the reveal. The new Fuse section of our website will be up with information and screenshots when the countdown was scheduled to end. Additionally, top tier press from around the world will be publishing previous of the game including hands-on impressions. Then, on September 13th at 10pm PDT, Gametrailers TV with Geoff Keighley will bring you a Fuse dedicated episode with the first raw gameplay footage.
We hope after reading the previous and watching Gametrailers TV that you’ll be as excited as we are about Fuse.
So we'll be hearing about Fuse soon, it seems. The website, which right now has the apology letter, can be read here.
