Should we expect some subscribers to get the magazine in Monday or is it usually hitting on the expected release day?

Sunset Overdrive in next months EDGE

I would think that's indicative of a pretty large marketing push, yes.
If I remember right EA didn't really push Overstrike/FUSE all that much either.

Wonder if we'll be getting a full fledged campaign or something akin to Titanfall's. I'm hoping for the former.

Maybe because I was never really all that interested in the Resistance games, I can't honestly speak to how they were marketed, but if there's one thing it seems to me that Microsoft always did a pretty damn good job of, it was in marketing their big releases.
I can see them giving Sunset Overdrive a pretty solid marketing push.
Yea, this part has me interested. It could be a dead rising, infamous style game where there's a full on campaign. Then again, I always saw it as being a humor driven, more stylized version of the division, but with parkour and wall running also. I guess I'll have to see.

Sorry, but when this thread consists of nothing but anticipation until Thursday, you can't blame the conversation for visiting things vaguely peripheral to speculation about what Sunset Overdrive is.
And on top of that, it wasn't bickering, and it did not monopolise the conversation.
Anywho, I am really excited to see what this turns out to be. I'd like to get an Xbox One at some point this generation, and this title sounds like it could be cool to me.

Nice.
Except Alan Wake
Even Alan Wake wasn't that bad. They created a whole mini-series for it

Yeh but they let it die going up against RDR without putting the same marketing behind it, but hopefully they position QB a bit better

Didn't that game see like a mini TV show of sorts? Still, I don't think I remember the marketing push being very big on television.
This pleases me.

This is easily my most anticipated Xbox One exclusive. I've been a fan of Insomniac throughout the years, and their PS3 stuff was hit or miss, ranging from B+ (Ratchet: Crack in Time, Resistance 1) to D- (Resistance 2, and all their spinoff Ratchet titles).
The teaser for Sunset Overdrive looked really unique and reminded me of a Dreamcast-era arcade game. I hope they deliver on that teaser, and am glad to see them working on a new IP.
I don't know what the hell happened to Insomniac at the last part of last-gen, but they really did churn out a massive dud with Fuse. And their titles have always looked "generic" even though that word is overused. But this looks great and seems to be doing something many games aren't.
I suspect the agreement will be similar to what they used to have in place with Gears. If the first one does well, Microsoft has the option to publish the next one.

I think the story premise is that some big corporation screwed up really bad with some product they released, and it had an adverse effect on the population.
I wonder, Jstevenson, you say there's a full fledged single player campaign and story, does this also mean the main character has voice acting and specific story dialogue? Or is it just some non speaking character you can customize however you wish like in the Elder Scrolls games? Does the main character have a name?

The fact that this game has legit single player just made it waaaaaaaay more interesting to me. Hope they touch on story a little bit.
I am officially intrigued. I stopped being interested in Titanfall the moment they said no single-player. This could be the game that makes me buy an Xbone. I don't know what the hell the game is about but it just looks different from everything else out there.

I don't remember Red Dead having a whole lot of marketing behind it either. I had only heard of it shortly before its launch and I remember discussion that it was the sleeper hit of that year. Alan Wake was just very unfortunate that it it came out that same week but I don't remember anybody at the time saying it was being put out to die.

It was advertised in cinemas with a trailer shown before, uh, the Max Payne film.

ask me that question on Thursday. I'll answer then
Oh, now you're just teasing, but you have me very exited. Obviously more excited for one outcome over the other, however.
I'd prefer if the main character could talk, had lines of dialogue as part of a story, and just plain has a personality of some kind as opposed to just being a customizable character you have control over. Not like I wouldn't enjoy the game otherwise, but that would be much preferred. A character with no real personality is one of the things I didn't like much about Crackdown, for example.

Sexburger
Fizzco cares about your poor self-esteem. So, if you're feeling a little unattractive, be sure to stop by SexBurger, where every meal comes with a free side of sex appeal. No one cares about the size of a stomach when there's a juicy, double-pounder with cheese in it. So, slap on a condiment and dive in.
Agua Mofeta Brewery
Aqua Mofeta is Sunset City's premier brewery. It prides itself on its many rare and virtually unheard of lagers. When you stop by, be sure to try customer favorites “October Sunset Brisk Breeze Autumn Crop Duster Wheat” and “My Ex-Girlfriend Amber.” Watch as the Friday night rush turns into the Saturday morning stumble!
Cafe FizzCo
When Fizzco decimated the coffee industry with its premier product UNTZ, they knew they had to establish their own roadside café chain in order to satisfy the world's craving for artisan-crafted, premium-priced caffeinated beverages. Be sure to visit the store that started it all! It's the perfect place to almost start that screenplay!
Sasquatch 'n Friends Family Fun Center
Locally owned and operated, Sasquatch & Friends has become a Friday night hotspot for people who love okay pizza and overly-fogged laser tag. Featuring 90+ arcade machines to choose from, you'll never get bored or decisive. You can practically live there! It's fun for the whole family. And maybe some people with no family.
