EA and Insomniac Games have announced ‘Overstrike’ for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Four player co-op is the order of the day here, as you play as part of a team known as Overstrike 9, which is comprised of a thief, ex-mercenary, a scientist and a detective.
When a terrorist group tries to destroy humankind these outcasts are the best hope we have. Insomniac CEO, Ted Price, had the following to say:
“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.”

Seems wierd this not being a PS3 exclusive.

GREAT FUN XD seriously, I hope and expect it to live up to what I just said because it looks like a winner from the trailer :)

Most things look great from trailers.

But I trust Insomniac Games to make it great.
Sympozium, cyclone tornado AGAIN!
Borderlands would be the one that would be similar to this I guess, interesting to see how Overstrike will go.

Yeah doesn’t show us anything, but really nice trailer. Good concept, plenty of humour. Shame it’s not an exclusive, but s’alright.

Seems like a mix of R&C [Gadgets, humor] and Resistance [Shooting]. Which can only be a good thing!
BrainDiver
Agreed. As long as they keep the fun factor from R&C then this will be awesome. Personally I find resistance to be a real bore, it takes itself way too seriously. This looks like it fixes all that. Colour me impressed.

I don’t like this at all :(.

How can you not like that? Looks outstanding (though there was no gameplay there, looks a lot of fun though!)

Trailer looks great, but I doubt the game will end up being anywhere near as good.
SavageOranges
Kinda looks like Resistance in the R&C world. Just a bit more heavy on the combat.

Looks phenomenal actually, hope they pull it off!
