Insomniac Announces Overstrike, Their First Multiplatform Game

Posted on Monday, June 6 @ 13:43:37 Eastern by Sebastian_Moss


If you only have a 360, it's time to rejoice - one of the PS3's greatest developers has announced its first multiplatform game - Overstrike.

On top of PS3 exclusives Resistance 3 and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, the studio will be developing the 360 and PS3 game with the help of EA Partners.

Ted Price, founder and CEO of Insomniac Games, said:
Overstrike presents a unique blend of features that have long been a part of the Insomniac DNA: high powered gadgets, action-heavy gameplay, memorable characters in a deep and mysterious universe and of course a touch of humor. And since this is our first multiplatform game, we’re especially excited to introduce ourselves to a new audience — one which may not have experienced our previous games.

In a press release, the developer detailed the game:

Overstrike is a four-player cooperative action game featuring a team of elite agents called Overstrike 9. Comprised of an ex-mercenary, a lifelong thief, a gifted young scientist and a decorated detective, the members of Overstrike 9 are considered outcasts within their own organization, but are the best team suited to stop a global terrorist group from attempting to wipe out humankind. Overstrike 9 uses lethal teamwork and an arsenal of fringe-tech gadgets to infiltrate and destroy enemy strongholds. Overstrike marks Insomniac’s first multiplatform release and will be available on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Stay tuned to GR for more E3 coverage.

    I think I'm proving my point as to why they should have selected someone that posted an actual reason why they should go. But, alas, here are some more errors...

    Shenta isn't being overly picky, he's doing what a professional writer should do, edit, edit, edit. Nothing of this guy's quality should have ever been published, and were this guy a staff writer, I'd ask he went back to elementary before he continues to write. These are the most embarrassing posts this website has had in its entire lifespan on the internet.
