Resistance dev Insomniac Games has officially announced Overstrike, its first multiplatform game published by EA.
"Combining Insomniac's knack for imaginative weaponry with immersive and witty storytelling, Overstrike is a four-player cooperative action game featuring a team of elite agents called Overstrike 9," reads the official blurb.
"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 marks Insomniac's first multiplatform release and will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3.
"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," said Ted Price, founder and CEO of Insomniac Games.
"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."

First thing i thought was that the concept isn't exactly novel, but i love the art style O.O . I love the character design, and i'll probably love the weapons. The concept seems more like a medium for insomniac to deliver awesome gameplay and characters.

Why the hell does this remind of The Incredibles
Not that it's a bad thing mind you.

As a lifelong Insomniac fan I was praying this wouldn't let me down, but I needn't have worried - this looks awesome! Sure, it's not the most original idea out there, but it seems like the ultimate blend of Insomniac's strengths... as much as I like Resistance it doesn't have the Insomniac "atmosphere" outside of some of the weapons. This looks to have a lot more "fun", both in the gameplay itself, the characters and story, and the overall feel of the game... very optimistic!
