Sunset Overdrive in next months EDGE

I highly doubt the movement we get will be anything like what people are thinking of when they see the trailer. While the game may be colorful, I honestly only think Mirrors Edge is the only game in years that nailed the fluid movement from trailer -> gameplay. It's hard to do on a console controller, and no dev has really perfected it (Brink is pretty good, but everything else about it sucks).

Titanfall is third person, meaning the animation does not impact on your feeling of the movement. It also doesn't have to be incredibly detailed.
Overdrive is third person, so we'll see. I just think that's a bad comparison.

I don't think it's a bad comparison. Of course FoV changes and third person animations change things, but I think if anything it would be harder to nail this gameplay in first person. Since SO is very stylized, I imagine its animations would be a bit easier to create than realistic looking ones.

All I can say is, without a doubt, no. I didn't read the other guys post fully either, because I feel the same about comparing it to Mirror's Edge and Brink (i.e it's a useless comparison).
Spacial awareness with parkour in first person, is difficult (Titanfall appears to have nailed this, not that I've played).
But 'feel' in a third person parkour game is determined mainly by the characters animation. Allowing that element to come from your imagination (in first person) accounts for the awesome feeling. And indeed Brink and ME did feel brilliant.
I think it can be done. Titanfall handles pretty well on consoles... I'm thinking this game will be more Jet Set Radio Future though.
Or something like this!
I've never played Jet Set anything. That game looks fucking dope.

That's actually this new game called Hover. It's in alpha now and is confirmed to be coming to Steam, no other announced platforms I don't think.
But Jet Set Radio is similar in concept, not quite as open though.
Would love to see a Jet Set on next gen hardware... it's been far too long. Hopefully Sunset Overdrive can scratch that itch!

I'm actually quite jealous of this game. Art wise it looks absolutely stellar.
It looks actually more like a mix of the two from what I could see.
Lol, look at the gif right above your post.

I did... Now, actually read my post.
I said first person comparison is useless. Nothing else. Not that you can't create good movement in third person.
I did... Now, actually watch the entire gif.
Some of it is in first person, and some of it is in third person.

Yeah, I am still missing how that is at all relevant to what I posted.
Nope, not even close. Military/Scifi FPS will inherently will sell more than a game with a wacky art style. Sad I know
Insomniac where is my R&C game for PS4?
How? You said that 3rd person was a negative when it comes to parkour style movements. The gif demonstrates that it works well, both in 1st person and 3rd.

Sunset Overdrive being an early game out on a console that doesn't have much to play should help it though.
I mean, I'm pretty sure more people (Xbox One owners) will be willing to give it a chance.

If Insomniac make a good game and Microsoft put the proper marketing budget behind it I'm hopeful it'll sell well.
Doing stuff like hardware bundles (as ntkrnl said) will help too

I even asked you to read my post.
No, I never said anything negative about 3rd person parkour. I said comparing Overdrive and Titanfall is useless, as one is 1st person and one is 3rd person.
You said "No, parkour can't be done well."
Somebody responded "Yes, Titanfall did it."
You said "Well, but Sunset Overdrive can is third person, so that's not a good example.
I respond "Fair enough, but here is a gif showing that it can be done well in third person. Titanfall proves it can be done, and that gif further proves it can be done, well even, in third person view."
Bundling it with a white console would be excellent. So if people want the White Xbox (and just yeah, make it the plain white one) they get Sunset Overdrive, a new game, along with it (Much like Titanfall).
Thus you can ensure a lot of people play it, so that Sunset Overdrive 2 has a significant chance.

My thoughts exactly

Don't make stuff up, go back and actually read the posts and who posted them. That post doesn't exist, you assumed it existed.
I said simply and purely, that Titanfall is a bad comparison.
In a world where Assassins Creed, Infamous, Brink, Mirror's Edge and Prototype exist, I would never say parkour can't be done well. 3rd or 1st person.
Oh, I see. You weren't the one who made that argument. Sombody else did, and you took it up yourself. Sorry for the confusion.
Also, Mirror's edge and Brink are first person like Titanfall, so if it doesn't work then neither do they, I should think.

Xbox Tumblr recently put on some concept art for the game.

I'm getting Tekkon Kinkreet vibes from that art. It feels different from the teaser trailer which was a bit more clean.

Yes. It has an offline campaign and a multiplayer mode.

Thanks for sharing. I'd seen two of those, but not the others.

Is that just like a prop or something or is there actually a drink of some sort in there? Would be cool if it was like Orange Tango/Fanta...

It just occurred to me how much more excited I'm gonna be if this game is 60fps.
60fps at 900p sounds like the sweet spot to me.
Can't wait to see the first gameplay.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Insomniac released a statement a few years ago saying that they didn't think 60fps was worth pursuing anymore.It just occurred to me how much more excited I'm gonna be if this game is 60fps.

60fps could certainly help a game like this. Maybe the art style could help the game in achieving that goal.
Ha. Forgot about that!
Thanks.
I can't afford both systems, but the trailer did get me pumped for this game.

Hmm, yeah. I recall that.
I guess I'd be fine with 30fps if it had some nice motion blur. It's not like this is gonna be Call of Duty first person shooting. It would just be a cool surprise if it was 60.
Resistance 3 had one of the best motion blur implementations that I've seen so I'd expect this to have good motion blur too.
