Love the way the player can shoot open the gas tanks on vehicles, which then leads to the zombies drinking the liquid that pours out. Really liking the artstyle in this game. It's come together very well.

Oh my god. This looks incredible. Forget about a Crackdown sequel. This looks even better!
More videos on monday
*Shrugs* I guess I'm just not seeing it. Looks fine to me. I don't need it to be Sonic fast, as I actually like to see what is going on. But I am sure it speeds up when you are riding rails downward, etc.
jstevenson did mention its tricky to get too speedy while grinding because you're encouraged to be shooting while doing so.
This thread in a nutshell:
LOL
I think it's just a weapon that shoots sticky juicy thing.
Phew! My money is safe, it looks like they've lost everything they knew about making games that they learned from Ratchet and clank, one thing they had was pacing, they knew how to distribute enemies and how to make the pacing just right, this looks like they've filled it with mobs of fodder. I also hated the rail parts of the R&C games so this really turns me off fully. Oh well another thing that keeps me from buying a Xbox One.
It's a lot more pronounced in the YT vids for some reason.
It's not a deal breaker or anything , it still looks insane. I'm not going to judge the game 5-6 months before it's launch
no, not at all. Sunset Overdrive looks amazing but I still want Crackdown 3.
this ain't my Crackdown.
It is, you even see the bottle of Overcharge Delirium XT that gets shot from the tip of the weapon!

I'd love a webm or gif from the part of the clip where the character jumps in the car and drop bombs, I loved it!

Do you think Sony is worried at all? I know that they have got to be watching MS closely to see what they are revealing / planning for E3. This game is already making a huge splash in the media and people are getting hyped for it. Game looks extremely fun.
Honestly, it makes some of the Sony exclusives either rumored or otherwise seem overly dark and mature - Project Beast - The Order. Maybe this is part of MS's new tactic, to deliver colorful, fun games with less in your face maturity?

The movement looks a bit stale compared to something like infamous, but maybe it feels better than it looks. The magnetism on those jumps to rails look clunky and the movement on rails looks slow, but maybe speed is variable.
Otherwise, visuals look good, weapons seem to have a good amount of creativity and variety.
This may be the first game I want for Xbox One, nice.

Insomniac makes fun games. That's about it. Looks awesome.
Whoever came up with JetSetRadio + Infamous + Crackdown was absolutely right.
By far the best Xbone game... By far! Titanfall is nothing compared to this.

Horde mode are PvE, not PvP. Being on the same side in a PvP is not considered co-op. Being on the same side in a PvE is.

heh, because you've seen the one "fodder" enemy? (that if you get overwhelmed by, will eat your brunch)

You think they're targetting a niche demographic?
I am sure Sony has their own irons in the fire and are concentrating on that. As the PS4 is doing just fine. But just speaking for myself, this is easily the most exciting looking full next-gen release that I have seen.

PLEASE DON'T JUDGE BASED ON THE CRAPPY GAME INFORMER RIP GOING AROUND
they obviously lost frames and the only thing is running slower than it should (or how it plays).
not representative. lots of real footage coming next week

Ohh, I see now. He shoots out some sort of can or capsule or whatever, and it attaches to the back of a car and then begins to pour out that orange liquid that these zombies appear to enjoy.
Another thing I notice in the footage is that the zombies themselves seem to be pretty capable jumpers. I saw one from the ground all the way up onto a light post from the looks of it.
But didn't you hear him? His money is now safe!
Good to hear, excited to see more footage.

The game looks really fun but let's not start saying crazy things now. This post borders on "working mans graphics."

Fantastic news. Please try to make some direct feed footage available through Gamersyde as well.
Sounds like a plan. Can't wait.

Looks good but if I was an XBone owner I would want something a bit different because it looks very similar to Dead Rising 3 gameplay wise.
Any word on framerate ?.

I think it looks amazing! BTW I think you should have some of us come in and play it for, you know, testing purposes. I live 15 mins away. I can be there in a jif.......
I agree.
I hope the game gets quicker while moving around (maybe when the trick/energy multiplier goes up?) and the grinding lock on animation definitely needs to be fixed.
Also, i'm not liking the animation when the character bounces on stuff that's usually not bouncy, it's kinda off in conveying the sense of weight and motion.
But there's more than enough time to fix this stuff, and i can't wait to get my hands on the game at E3.
Seriously, huge hype on this one.
