"The core audience we’re hoping to attract with Outernauts is myself – a 23-year-old core gamer,"

Well that's me screwed.

Yeah looks a bit like bastion. We have to get over this kinda thing though. This also looks a bit like Windwaker to me. Everything looks a bit like everything else. Nice to see Insomniac try something new. They're a great developer and I thought R3 was an fantastic FPS.

[Family Fry]

Don't think that's something the industry will ever get over, or any other industry come to think of it, it's just one of those things.
Will see what happens when the game hits facebook in summer, hell it may even get me interested in playing something on facebook that isn't PopCap based or puzzle based.
Insomniac are a great dev, very much looking forward to seeing some gameplay of Overstrike at E3. Ratchet series has always been one of my favourites, design has always been fantastic in them.

[Brad]

I have completely missed the fact that this is a facebook game. Anyone mind if I delete the entire thread and we all forget it ever happened?

[EvilBoris]

PC gaming is clearly the way to go, especially when premier Ps3 developers are abondoning those mainstream consoles in order to exploit the full raw power of my machine.

Insomniac have always made games that push the limits of the hardware so I'm thinking of upgrading to this, will it be enough?

[Tig]

You'll need more megaflops.

[EvilBoris]

Insomniac has already had a few of those.

[Brad]

Badum tschhh!!!

[EvilBoris]

I wanted to write that but couldn't figure out the best spelling

[FelixofMars]

Probably why they are making ****ty facebook games. In all seriousness though I like the idea but it all looks like the Farmville (am I allowed to say that without being Zygna'd) style characters and I bet its all F2P gamblethon so I am out.

It's in Beta at the moment and you can sign up for it, managed to get a key and as far as I can see it's Pok?mon in space.
