Dead Rising meets Infamous with a wacky art style, this looks by far to be the most interesting project Insomniac has done since....eh forever.
Hope they finally score that triple AAA game with sales to match. Insomniac needs it and Microsoft aswell...

Probably me too. It's just different and colorful and ambitious. It is the type of game I would love to play.

Sony to buy Insomniac?

there's no main character. you can customize, male/female body types clothing accessories etc etc etc.
and the box art were both made by ilovedust. I have a blog post tomorrow morning going into more detail on it. Suffice to say, I LOOOOVE the box art
Different sort of situation. Bioware got bought out by EA and Bioware retained the IP which in turn gave EA the ability to publish it where they wanted. If Insomniac stays independent and doesn't get bought by EA/Ubisoft/etc then they'll have say where it goes. I've been echoing it across threads now, but this is more akin to the Gears of War franchise deal with Epic and Microsoft before Microsoft purchased the IP from Epic.
okay cool... how much can you change looks (like skyrim customization?) because it still seems like they toned down the cartoony character look)
And yeah placeholder/mockup whatever... its still better than the (obiously) ridiculous one they have now... i get that its supposed to be over-the-top... but the art isnt very good. (if it was done by a better artist... it might be okay, but this is plain boring.)
They needed an artist like Patrick Brown to do the cover.

(im not trashing the game, just the cover, not trying to start a fight or flamewar... i just dont like that new cover lol)
I like ilovedusts art... but the new boxart is super boring and plain... it just seems to need more exaggeration in the characters and the layout is unappealing

And so did the Developer's from Driveclub and Watch Dogs, and we know how that turned out.
Fall 2014 Is their goal release, doesn't mean problems while developing won't occur and they have to shift priorities to get the game out on time, which means delay sometimes, or cutting of content.
What I'm seeing right now with everyone else's thoughts is a Pre-alpha version of the game, since things were missing. Such as Final Hud, full showing of enemies, rough animations, and they had concept art in place to show other enemy types. Usually that means either this is from and old/slice and build, or they are in Pre-alpha/Alpha.
Since we saw a main character change, unless that's a skin you can get, I', going to lean towards Alpha.
But Like I said I think Fall 2014 is their goal, if they make it or not is yet to be seen, and by looking at how rough some of the animations are, there might be a last minute delay.
For showing very little, it feels like a ways way off.
Even with the Developer saying it's coming out 2014, My instincts say they have a lot of work yet to do on the game.
Unless it's not going to have a lot of content, and they are going to DLC you to death, since they now have the backing of one of the DLC king's.

Doesn't look that great to me, but I don't think I'll have the patience to play it. I love how colorful it is though.

Indeed. This trailer made this game jump to the top tier of my list. Bravo Insomniac, this title looks amazing.
Lets just hope it doesnt fall victim to "Too Human" level Respawn cutscenes....
The original boxart was wonderful - the new boxart is terrible for a shelf IMHO. It's way too busy and actually fails to catch the eye as a result. It'll blend in when on a shelf. The first boxart is clean and immediately draws the eyes directly to that - it also appears nice and original whereas the new boxart looks like every overcrowded with zany stuff cover you've ever seen.
IMHO of course - but seriously I'd browse right past the boxart from the trailer and right it off as probably trying to disguise a weak game. The old boxart I'd think "what the hell is that?" and have the dust jacket down right away to have a look on the back and find out more.
lol, "Time to get a sandwich"

I... I actually want to buy an Xbox One after seeing this. I hope E3 brings with it lots of amazing exclusives so there won't be a drought of games.
Good job, Insomniac.

I though the game was going to have last gen graphics. I'm completely blown away by how smooth it looks. I'm sold.
What? Why would you think that?

Also... jesus christ... they fucked up the box art.. what happened to the crazy face one that was posted here a few days ago?
Heres the boxart from the trailer:
And heres the mock-up posted on gaf a few days ago:
Seriously the official box art sucks.
The box art it's fantastic, if you see it you can instantly get what the game is about. Shooting crazy weapons, traversal, big colorful world, mutants. The place holder could be anything.
Edit:
Because the assets from the site looked bad, the characters they show looked really last gen so I was prepared for the worst.

The main character (unless you can change the way he looks) looks fucking retarded... i liked the design from behind... but when they showed his face... it completely fell apart.)
They changed it from the original trailer... which he looked WAY better in.
New Design (lame)
Old Design (better)
Phil is infiltrating everything.
You can run this same line of doubt for virtually any game that is supposed to release in fall 2014.
You haven't seen a lot of content, but that doesn't mean said content does not exist. We've seen even less of The Order.....and Titanfall only showed off like 2 maps prior to it hitting shelves. Ubisoft has revealed only a short (probably) CG trailer for Assassin's Creed Unity - are you worried about that being delayed into 2014 as well?
Unless the developer has a history of missing release dates, I don't think it's fair to continually question a given date.

Speaking of Crackdown. I wonder if MS will have ditched any plans for Crackdown 3, due to having this as an exclusive, which seems like a close substitute.
I guess we'll find out at E3.

Holy hell that looks so much better than I ever hoped it would. Insomniac, you have my attention.
IGN did a little breakdown and have actually played it. They said they got turned loose and were allowed to go wherever they wanted, it ran and played great and was actually pretty challenging.

I am loving the comix vibe this has. The design is like a mix of Jaime Hewlett and rat fink punk punk shit.
