Official Sunset Overdrive Trailer

I expected...something else. I was previously excited for the art style in particular but this reminds me too much of that Pain game on PS3 way back when.
 
Has there been any word about co-op multiplayer? Looks like this game would be awesome for multiple friends to drop in, complete quests and cause general mayhem on all the OD.
 
This, Halo 2 Remake and Quantum Break are just going to make my wallet cry. I need an Xbox One, period.

Dat box art

Looks like one of those random drawings I used to do on school when I was 15. Right in the balls, Insomnica.

This makes me actually want a xbox one.....freaking Insomniac but overall that whole "20 years in the making" crap is just =/ R&C games were really good, hope to see something arena like in this game.

This Autumn/Winter period is looking great. Destiny, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Halo 2 Anniversary and maybe The Order if we get to see some slightly more interesting footage.
 
I wonder how deep character customization is. I want to literally put myself in the game. I still haven't come across a game that lets me customize my character with a turban.

AMAZING. It's now my most anticipated game of the year.

<3 Insomniac

I can't get over how they brought together the things I love about Crackdown, Jet Set Radio, and Ratchet into one game.

Okay so it actually sounds like a pretty cool game. Was kinda down on the gameplay after seeing the leaked stuff. But this official trailer made it seem a lot more interesting

Fucking lol at the narrator calling it a mature game in the beginning though. It looks like the exact opposite of "mature" :p

Boom! Bitch-slapped!

This is an odd comparison.

Game looks fun as fun can be. Dat teddy bear launcher

This looks so great. Very innovative and colorful graphics. I'm getting more and more interested in buying an XBONE. I'm definitely getting that console before PS4.

Looks a little...slow? maybe because I'm not playing? I don't know, but the wallrunning and sliding on the rails seemed like the guy was going in slow motion.

Really like the looks and color of it all though.

Cool use of the Resistance Grim like designs for the zombie things. Also, lots of Ratchet influence with the skate rails and weapons. I cannot unsee Resistance grims and leeches.

Definitely using a lot of the good content from previous games.

Looks a lot better than fuse. Not sure if it's a system seller for me but def something that could win me over with time.

Looks quite fun but visually it's completely underwhelming to my eyes. Can turn out to be a great fun game, but probably not anything that would lure me into buying and Xbox One.
 
It tries a bit too hard with the style. And anyone who can't see the heavy Infamous influence is blind.

Will remain cautious. Unlike many others, I wait until I have my hands on before I cream myself. Insomniac haven't made a game I enjoyed for a looong time.

"This is the game we were building up to for 20 years"

That can be considered a kick in the teeth for some. Supporting Insomnaic for 20 years and they release an excellent game on a rival platform where 90% does not reside.

With that out of the way pity I won't get to play it for a long time.

I love the weaspons and the factions already make me smile.

Everything looks great except that trail when wall running / grinding on rails. Seems really out of place. I like how colorful it is, the bit at the end with the roman candle gun going off was great.

God damn.... I have never felt so butthurt over a game before.

Insomniac: Here is this fun and bright looking game that is something we have wanted to make for 20 years, and we are not going to put it on the platform family that people have been playing our games .

Instead we are going to put out 2 mediocre ratchet and clank games, a decent one and a bland, lifeless shooter called FUSE.

Looks like I need to borrow a friends xbox one to play this.

Or just experienced with games that are much closer in style, all of which pre-dated Infamous.
 
WOW.

The graphics look amazing. I am certainly interested.

My only concern right now is that while the traversal looks *really* fun, it seems too slow. Like I didn't get a sense of speed from the trailer. Hopefully this gets better or just feels better when playing.

Nice Insomniac!

I notice the speed complaint, too, but I think it works out good that way, because I believe you need to have a normal speed, one that actually allows you to be somewhat precise and effective at shooting while grinding on rails or else what's the point? At the same time, I think if your interest is mostly just to speed your way through the environment and are somehow less concerned about hitting specific targets, then I think you can move even faster by gaining enough momentum through successful traversal and platforming, but a dev would have to confirm that. I think as your style points go up, so, too, might the speed of your movement throughout the environment.
