Sunset Overdrive Mixes Platforming And Shooting (Updated)

That actually looks great, The visual style is fantastic. Very vibrant

Me too! I have the loved the game and been dying for news since last June!

Dat Microsoft marketing push.

Looks really fun, a shame I just don't have room for all the space an xbox one would take up, or I might have picked one up for this game, assuming it turns out good.

Don't like the art style. We've also seen more than enough of these kinds of sandbox games and zombie games. It seems like it's trying to be a Saint's Row clone also, which I can't stand.

Betrayal to sony?

Seriously?

I'm not too sure of what to make of Sunset Overdrive....maybe because I haven't played an Insomniac game.

lol....so kiddie.....and too much rainbow colors

so colors are bad?

One thing that's bugging me is that they are billing this as having traversal similar to jet set radio.

But how the heck is he powersliding around with just sneakers? JSR actually made sense in a way with it's magnetic skates. Infamous had super powers.

Microsoft and Insomniac Games unveiled the first look at the world, story and gameplay of “Sunset Overdrive” today through an action-packed video. Alongside the video, Microsoft announced the first details for the Day One Edition of the game.

Traverse Sunset City in Style with Exclusive Day One Edition Outfits and Weapons

With an exclusive gun, melee weapon and in-game character outfit, the “Sunset Overdrive” Day One Edition is the ultimate package for fans who want to fight through the end of days with flair. The “Sunset Overdrive” Day One Edition features the following exclusive digital content that you won’t find anywhere else:

• “Nothin’ but the Hits” gun: An overcharged version of the High Fidelity gun that launches limited edition, priceless, multi-colored vinyls that do increased damage.
• “It’s Me! Fizzie!” outfit: Fizzie is more popular than you because he has a great marketing budget. So, why not dress up as him and get in on some of that fame?
• “Hardcore! Hammer”: You ponder buying the Day One Edition of “Sunset Overdrive.” A spot check reveals that if you do, you can equip a mighty hammer made from a bat and spiked dumb-bells. You buy the Day One Edition of “Sunset Overdrive.”

gameplay looks like a poor mans Infamous SS with a mix of DR3. Another average 6/10 game on xbone.

So....does it have Day, night cycles??????????????????????

I remember lems saying that they wouldn't play open world games if they didn't have them and constantly tired to bash Infamous because of it. So far I haven't seen one lem here ask or care about it regarding this game :P

To much going on. Can we remove some set pieces, enemies, particles effects, vehicles. Can we make it look empty and lifeless so we can get the 1080p. That's all that matters...

Official first trailer

I see what you did there...

That new Trailer!!!! Motherfucking day 1! Wow! The gameplay looks fantastic and the visuals are killer. Day 1!!

Game looks and sounds terrible. The only Bone exclusive that sounds remotely interesting is Quantum Break.

Cows Gonna Cow

Judging from the gameplay video, it looks like a great game so far.

Damn just saw that trailer and this game is meaty! Lots of weapons, uniques characters, lots of abilities, and a vibrant playground for you to have fun in. This game looks fucking fun! Insomniac had to get to MS and the Xbox One to finally create the game they always wanted like they say in the trailer but Sony held them back all these years l'm guessing. I need to get hands on this bitch! Day one digital for me! Infamous Second Son got killed with a quickness.

Looks like pure fun, wonder if it will have a story-mode.

Cows gonna cow i guess? Also apparently Sony was the one forcing them to make bad games and they got sick of it.

Looks fun but there's no way I'm getting an X1 for that

Traversing looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN especially compared to its half-assed, half-baked equivalent in BioShock: Infinite. This is how Infinite's Skyrailing should look like.

Except infamous didn't look empty or lifeless.

Game looks kind of neat.

Mildly interested.

It didn't? How many open-world TPP action games have you played? I mean there is a chance that it didn't, but I've seen fair share of video materials and it erred on the side of emptiness, albeit not heavily, but still...

Wow, looks like a BLATANT RIP OFF OF infamous. Looks so unispired. Microsoft just doesnt have the ability or first parties that Sony has to create good exclusives like Sony always does. All the more reason to stay PS4. Insomniac is not with Sony for a reason. Theyve declined. Just go buy Infamous Second Son and PLAY THE REAL THING, not this cheap xbone knock off of it. Plus Infamous looks a million times better. Xbone really proving to be under powered. Also Infamous Second Son gameplay is much much better then what is shown here

Looks really good!

Proof!

Who said I was talking about Infamous?

This game just looks plain awesome. can't wait to see more of this at E3.

The only Insomniac game I payed was Fuse and it suck.

Just go witness the game.

You are an asset to the thread my friend.

Added!

On the side note, Sunset Overdrive isn't an open world game but it looks like you aren't restricted. Traversing and climbing buildings in Infamous use to be fun but they dumbed it down and you need to use powers to climb now, and they made it a chore. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pzCjYJn8Gmk

Anyway nice to see something fresh like Sunset Overdrive.

Show us the most intense SS gif or video you can find. You can do it.

That actually looked pretty good. The issues I could see being a problem though are:

1. It looks ridiculously easy, with enemies serving more as meat puppets than real opponents.

2. It seems to lack enemy variety. There were specialty enemies and such, but the bulk of it seems to be filled with mainly one enemy type.

3. The enemies don't seem to have any way of combating your free running/hover skates.

While it looks good, I just don't know if it would be good for more than 2 or 3 hours. Oh, and where the **** was the HUD? No reticule? Seems fishy.

This is a quote by one of the creators from the Kotoku article about the game which is why I will love this game.

"There's a mantra that we had: 'fun trumps realism'." -Paquette

You xbots are in such desperation panic mode that you are are hyping up SunSet Over Drive. Pathetic. Just remember how awful Fuse was

SunSet Over Drive is wayy too small scale, for what its trying to achieve, and yet its not even graphically impressive. Xbome really proving to be under powered

Infamous is open world, has environments dense and packed with details, effects and next gen lighting and looks like damn playable CGI. PS4's significant power advantage is showing more and more

Also, the climbing or "platforiming" in SunSet Drive looks tiresome and repetitive. Looks like it will get boring quick

Neon dash sprinting and video flying up buildings in Infamous >>>>>>>>>>anything in SunSet Drive all day

Sun Set Over Drive is just Microsofts cheap knock off imitation of Infamous by a DECLINING Insomniac.

Like I said, JUST but Infamous and PLAY THE REAL THING at REAL next gen graphics.

PS4 ftw. Thank god for PS4.

Haha, brofists is back!

Game does look like a mix mash of ripped off ideas with color..weee!

On top of that the graphics are very poor and is once again another sub 1080p game on the bone.

Insomniac will turn mobile within 3 years is my bet.

If you are a blind idiot, sure.

Nice! That actually looks awesome!!! :O TPS with solid character movement and crazy artstyle! Would love to try it!

@kuu2:

I actually thought "Loadout" was this when i first saw it .

LOL it looks exactly like inFamous but more cartooney and weapons instead of superpowers

Now I'll just wait and watch lems hyping this after bashing inFamous

I'm really interested to see what kind of multiplayer and/or co-op it will have.

This looks pretty awesome. The only exclusive on the One that I'm actually interested in.
