Looks a bit slow but could be fun, I like the scale of the city

 

[RoboPlato]

Man, the colors really pop in this game. Lots of personality pouring out of the world.

 

[SykoTech]

I'm still pissed off that in a entire gen, Insomniac didn't release anything remotely as fun as what this game seems to be, yet on their first try on a MS platform. BAM.

Goddamn it Insomniac. GODDAMN IT.

I don't get this. Some of the R&C games were awesome as hell on the PS3.

I'll take this rare opportunity to agree with noobasuar.

A Crack in Time in particular was incredible. Favorite game of 2009 (sorry Uncharted 2 and Arkham Asylum).

 

[Dabanton]

Huh, Infamous SS, has a beautifully rendered city but very little to interact within it. SO, is more like a parkour playground. Nothing in that game looks scaled back.

It's Dragonborn if you know his/her console preferences it was damming with faint praise.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

None of them were better than the PS2 Ratchet games though. And the franchise got worse with each entry on PS3, now it's just tired and boring.

ACIT was God-tier ratchet Insomniac definitely still has it.

And yeah, art style is everything, Insomniac just does color really well.

 

[noobasuar]

Disageee, ACIT was the peak for Ratchet and Insomniac in my opinion (though that may change now).

Naw Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! was the peak.

 

[dralla]

Golf ham this is looking good. This is 2014? Might have to get an Xbox.

 

[derFeef]

I don't think that is pouring out of the silo. If you look at his weapon its a harpoon gun with a 20 oz of the overcharge drink attach. I think this is some sort of a distraction gun that draws the OD'd to the spill. You can a little of this in the video when he shoots the car and a couple of enemies run and start drinking up the overcharge.

It is. In the video the player shoots a can - liquid pours out and the monsters jump to it like crazy addicts.

edit: correction! you are right.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Golf ham

Greatest auto correct of all time.

 

[Forearm Star]

This game isn't an fps.

Oh I know, I was emphasizing my complete lack of knowledge on the game since all I saw was that trailer at E3 that I figured was just a concept video. I was stating I wrote this game off because I thought it was just another shooter.

Main point being, this game is back on my radar now.

 

[fastford58]

Looks pretty awesome.

 

[Hoo-doo]

This looks so damn good, "JSR x Infamous x DayZ".
Finally, a reason to justify my XONE purchase!

edit: here's another upload of the gameplay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AznD0PmtNJs

DayZ? What?

 

[B.O.O.M]

dang it missed seeing the video :S but from the screens/gifs the game looks pretty awesome

DayZ? What?

zombie/mutant thingies = DayZ I guess lol

 

[Sealion88]

Looks really good. Kinda give that feeling of old whacky games back in early 00s.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Huh, Infamous SS, has a beautifully rendered city but very little to interact within it. SO, is more like a parkour playground. Nothing in that game looks scaled back.

Nothing in either game looks scaled back to be honest.

How is this like DayZ?

 

[Shmuppers]

Mmmmmhmm. Nailed the pallet. Gameplay looks solid. Almost too good to be true.

 

[Terbinator]

It is. In the video the player shoots a can - liquid pours out and the monsters jump to it like crazy addicts.

Fitting given the MS/Mountain Dew running joke lol.

 

[backflip10019]

Greatest auto correct of all time.

Definitely not an auto correct.

 

[Silky]

DayZ? What?

The Eurogamer article described the game as 'their version of DayZ."

 

[NoirVisage]

Looks ok. Some pretty big overreactions itt.

I didn't want to be the one to say it.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

It looks really nice, the colours and the motion blur are great.

 

[reKon]

ACiT on hard mode was one of the best single player experiences I had last gen. It might be close to Uncharted 2 (haven't played TLoU, Bioshock Infinite, GTA V or Mass Effect 2 yet though)

 

[Ol No Bones]

One honest critique for insomniac is that the game play looks kinda slow. Maybe its not in reality but movement seems like it dragging in that video.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I love that they didn't tie themselves down by trying to be ultra realistic. Just go crazy and make the type of game and world that they want to make.

I didn't want to be the one to say it.

There's overreactions on both ends of the spectrum. Positive as well as negative.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

This is the Xbox One system seller! The color palette, the art, the open world freedom, shooting and combat all looking crazy good. Insomniac is BACK!

 

[jaypah]

Greatest auto correct of all time.

Old poster.

Anyway, game looks pretty slick. I'll have an Xbox by then and I definitely going to give it a shot.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

the video made teh game slower than I thought it would be. Well compared to the gifs

I liked the ratchet-like elements to it though

platforming, hook gliding, rail grinding and stuff like that

 

[Baroquemantic]

Looks ok. Some pretty big overreactions itt.

I agree with this. Still excited, though, especially now that I know it's third person.

WHOA. It DOES look better than the E3 trailer! HTF?

Nah. It looks good, but the original teaser trailer looks a whole lot better than this to me.

Unless you're talking about something other risk visuals.

 

[daman824]

I didn't want to be the one to say it.

I wonder why...

Game looks amazing. If they can pull off the traversal then it's a goty contender. Atmosphere is truly amazing.

Now give me a sample of the soundtrack!

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Wow, gifs look pretty great.

Looks like a Bioshock Infinite that's actually fun.... *cough*

 

[ironcreed]

Looks a bit slow but could be fun, I like the scale of the city

Slow? Looks about right to me.

 

[sn00zer]

EDGE also mentioned being respawned by being beamed down by a UFO and thrown out of the back of a van. ha

That is amazing

 

[kevin1025]

This may be the game that tilts the scale and gets me to buy an Xbox One. Can't wait to see more of this at E3!

 

[Shrike_Priest]

Amazeballs.


Looks like exactly the kind of action/platforming Insomniac excel at. Would consider an Xbox One for this. Unless it ends up on PS4 eventually.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Definitely not an auto correct.

Old poster.

My bad. That's a new one to me.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

The action/movement looks a little slower than I was expecting (the Youtube video moves at a slower rate than the GIFs), but otherwise, this is everything I want in a video game.

EVERYTHING!! (including Fizzie!)

 

[Revolutionary]

Looks like a mix of Infamous and Dead Rising. Interested in seeing more..

 

[takoyaki]

How is this like DayZ?

Just the vibe I got from the gameplay footage, being completely outnumbered in a open playground full of Zombies. The movement and art-style remind me of JSR, the stickiness of the characters jumps and the shooting seem very "Infamous" to me.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Looks great and more importantly, looks fun.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Ok saw the footage

Plus
Lovely visuals...reminds me of R&C
good use of colors
Open world gameplay
Traversal looks smooth and fun!

Negatives
Combat looks meh to be perfectly honest. Maybe my opinion will change once we get more footage. But right now it looks rather boring.

Look forward to Monday which will hopefully bring 'new' footage as well

 

[Prologue]

Shit, I really didn't want another shooter to interest me when picking up an X1. Theres already H2 and TF on the radar

At 49 seconds into the video, did you guys see that gun that shoots yellow balls that turn into drones with guns? I've never played an Insomniac game but I heard they were famous for their guns. This game looks nuts.

 

[antibolo]

This has upgraded my "I will never buy an Xbone" to an "I might buy an Xbone for cheap near the end of its lifespan to catch up on games like this that I missed on".

 

[Zephyrus]

I don't get this. Some of the R&C games were awesome as hell on the PS3.

more of the same I got on ps2. ACiT had already me burned out.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Quick and dirty webms! (there are definite frame-rate issues with the video. Wish someone had captured the footage directly from the GI site)

Some fantastic animations.

If the guns in SO are anything like they were in the early Ratchet games, man, it's gonna be fantastic!

 

[RulkezX]

Slow? Looks about right to me.

Posts 3 gif's shows stilted and slow movement.

The game is still a way off , I'm sure the pace will be fine come launch. I've said earlier I think it needs to be fast and frantic.

 

[MXRider]

This thread in a nutshell:

 

[BHK3]

So crackdown and Infamous with lots of colour, it visually looked nice but I wanted to see more then just some small aoe attack and jumping.
