Not enticing to me. I ads don't bother me and most content I'd watch isn't behind the paywall, so no biggie.

I can't imagine it's enticing to a lot of people. Their biggest point is "no ads." Millions of people already block ads - a point the article never made. So the next incentive is a Google Play Music subscription? To me, that's enticing. It's nice to have a bonus subscription along with my Play Music subscription but I also don't have Spotify premium anymore. Even though Spotify is hurting, I'm sure their numbers are better than Play Music, so I can't imagine that's much of a draw.

I had tempered expectations but no matter what I found good, by the end of the beta I'm unsure if I'd recommend anyone to buy the game. I have Gamefly so I'm renting but the beta did not give me any confidence that we're going to get depth out of the modes or unlocks.

It's only one mode of the game. Doesn't seem all that bad. Matches can last around 15 minutes, so I think it's a healthy amount.

Edit:

Based on the beta, it could definitely go that way, although I think Evolve fell off more than Titanfall in terms of numbers. That's just my feeling on the matter, no facts behind that.

I just don't feel confident in buying it after the beta. It felt empty. I didn't even feel that way in the Battlefield 4 beta with one map and Conquest mode. If it's really as barebones as the beta in terms of unlockables, Battlefront will drop off badly. I don't think that will happen but it's a sad possibility.

@belgurdo: By the looks of it, there will be not shortage of wackiness.

Then he may have been speaking from the experience of the others. Maybe.

@narujoe93: If you're talking about the overall game, I'd say it's new and fresh for Insomniac but not in games as a whole. It looks like a wackier, free-moving Dead Island. And that actually might be just what it needs to be fresh enough for everyone.

To @yummylee point though, I think he was just saying that R&C: Into the Nexus wasn't a Resistance or Fuse. It was true Insomniac. But I do see your point.

Well, Sunset Overdrive is way more Mature in its "lightheartedness", so I felt there was a bit of distinction between those. And where could I have posted this if this didn't merit a thread? o_O

I see that. I was interpreting the mature themes and humor as what people were calling "old Insomniac."

"This looks like the Insomniac that's been missing for way too long," is Patrick's quote on their most recent trailer. I've heard a few people on Polygon say that this is looking like the old Insomniac. So which part of Insomniac is the part that's been missing? The humor?

Disruptor was, I suppose, a little more serious with some tongue-in-cheek humor. I don't know. It was the 90s, so it's hard to look back at that and call it "serious."

And of course there was Spyro and Ratchet & Clank which were more lighthearted and goofy, obviously Spyro being down that vein than Ratchet & Clank. Then there was the Resistance trilogy which was more serious, then recently Fuse, which started out the closest thing to Sunset Overdrive but they EA'd (at least I think).

So where am I missing the connection?
