E3 2011: Overstrike is Insomniac's First Multi-Platform Title [Updated with Trailer]

Richard Walker

Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac has revealed spy-based action game Overstrike, starring agent Dalton Brooks and a crack team of hard-edged spies in what looks to be a stylised and humorous romp packed full of fictional futuristic tech like a force shield, invisibility cloak and silver restraining fluid stuff.

It appears that Insomniac's first foray away from the PlayStation brand with its Ratchet & Clank and Resistance titles is going to be an overtly fun and enjoyable experience, based upon the trailer that the studio's Ted Price showed during EA's E3 2011 press conference.

Stick with us for more deets as we get them. Hopefully the Overstrike announcement trailer will be a nice start.

  • Hmmm....i like what i saw. Will keep an eye out for this 1.
  • Game looks good. Welcome to the 360, Insomniac.
  • I really like the looks of this
  • I like it, new titles are always welcome and I can't really judge til I play it... or at least see some gameplay.
  • I played the very first ratchet and didnt like it, played the first resistance and didnt like it....so I dont know about this, looks cool but I guess I am not that excited because of their other games
  • Looks interesting. I like the stealth chick.
  • Insomniac make damn awesome games, and I am SO looking forward to their first one of the 360. Kudos to you guys!
  • Like what I saw this far, which is to say, not much.
  • Where's the trailer? And why can't they just release ratchet&clank to 360....
  • Bitchin!
  • Man Ratchet and Resistance are AWESOME and I'm sure this will be too.. 4 player co-op anyone? :D
  • I'm guessing it will be just like Gears 3 4player co-op
  • I need this game NOW!!!
  • looks amazing! did the character models remind anyone else of brinks characters? haha
  • Whoa, holy chin batman.
  • Gah, I love the art style of the trailer (and hopefully the game). I'm in.
  • I want this now, it looks amazing. Can't wait for some gameplay.
  • Very nice, but it kinda feels like Brink, with all the different classes. Lets hope not though, as I was disappointed with that game. I will be keeping an eye on this during its development :o)
  • I'm not easily impres--HOLY SHIT THAT WAS COOL.
  • @5 fair call. I haven't played them either. Gotta admit though. That trailer was bad ass. The Hives are pretty kick ass too!
  • This is definetely a new direction for Insomniac. I played the original R&C series on PS2 and I loved all the games. The first Resistance was pretty good too so Im looking forward to seeing what they do with this game. I always like to see new IP's and what developers can create.
  • When you hit someone, shoot them in the head - point blank range, stick bubblewrap to their chest and then explode it?! and then they still keep coming... then, that, that right there, is the time to think "oh shiz" and take up another day job! Game does look pretty awesome though, if not a little to cartoony but shall keep an eye on it.
  • Trailer was cool, but I will need to see some actual gameplay before I get interested in this. Insomniac has been hit and miss so far, so this could go either way.
