When I see the actual Month and day it comes out then I will retract my statement.

Until then, they have to show me more that convey's Beta/Final build of the game.

This is the only build we've seen.

I'm a understandably confused as to whether or not you want a release date or to see more content. Arkham Knight exists only as a CG trailer and a release date, and according to the Bombcast has severe framerate issues.....is that worth the FUD as well?

If only there were some kind of event occuring in a month where they might show more content, or perhaps announce a date...

But that's my question, there is only a Fall 2014. Which is not an exact date, like Destiny's 09/09/2014.

or Evolve which is October 7.

Fall 2014 means, there is a lot of work to be done.

Even with The March 11th Date for Titanfall the 360 version got delayed twice.

Until I see an actual set date, and not one that sounds like a projected date.

My statement still stands.

Dont think they invited the journalists to show a beta build. Also, the twitch stream after E3 was pretty solid (they had passed the "concept" phase by far in that time). They even hesitated to answer if it was a launch title or not. I was expecting a 2014 release since then.

Speaking of the cover, it should come in an orange case like this:

Ok, as a gamer who leans to the Sony side, damnnn, a little jealous right now. First game on the bone that I'm disappointed I might miss out on.

This looks like the natural evolution of a Ratchet game (mechanics wise) and a return to form for Insomniac.

Oh Insomniac, why have you forsaken us?

Looks 'fucking retarted'? What a lovely person you are. Do you go around talking like that in the real world?

sorry, did that offend you? how i speak is completely situational... if i feel like it would offend someone in real life, i usually refrain from saying stuff like that... however RARE that is...

although, around friends or people i talk to on a regular basis... i coudnt care less. Im not "PC." The people around me know my personality and my sarcastic over-the-top demeanor, things like cursing dont bother me, words like retard dont bother me... if something looks fucking retarded, ill speak up and say so. It doesnt make me a bad person.

If things like that offend you, you might be interested in the wrong game here... since an M rated over the top title like this might say the wrong thing.

Again (like i mentioned waaaaaaay back in this thread... im not looking to fight or start a flamewar about the game itself (which looks fucking great!)... just giving my opinion on the art.

FUSE could have been so great if EA didn't suck the fun and joy out of it. Kudos to Microsoft here for allowing them to be.

The game looks amazing and incredibly fun.
 
Looks like a lot of fun. First Dead Rising and now this. Both look like open-world bliss. Could use a little more of that on PS4 right now.

Makes me want to go back and play Res 3.

This game is a permanent exclsuive, right? I am on the edge of buying an Xbox One, I just need to know what is and isn't a permanent exclusive before I can justify buying one.

Already have a PS4 and Wii U.

I really dig the cover though tbh the main character face(in game) is not working for me. Hope the character creation thing is true.

I wouldn't call BS on market research companies or focus groups, They have qualitative and quantitative data to back their findings, which only helps developers and publishers to stay solvent in such a highly volatile industry such as games business.

That being said, Sunset Overdrive is looking all set to deliver where Insomniac re-fuse-d last generation.


Their "findings" is all about playing it safe, do what's popular and in the most boring way possible so not to alienate mainstream crowd. Like I said focus group/market research for videogames is total and utter BS. That's exactly what ruined Fuse.

Can we get a movement focused video next? To show us the speed and momentum, I'm really excited about that.

I know I'm asking too much, but do it anyway, making me happy should be Insomniac's first priority.

Insomniac said permanent, so yeah, it's permanent exclusive.

Beside the game looking good but I remember Phil Spencer said the the game is looking better than the reveal trailer but now they said the reveal trailer was CG. Did Spencer just lie to us?

https://twitter.com/XboxP3/statuses/428346418525257728

He said he thought it looked better than a trailer. How is that lying? He didn't say the E3 trailer was in-game. It was known that was CG, like, immediately and nobody ever denied it.

What are you reaching for?

And because of those frame rate issues batman got pushed to 2015, because it was way too early for it to be a Fall 2014 release.

You just made my point.

I was saying that the game looked kind of rough. I explained why, the Fall 2014 might be to vague.

As the game has a lot of work in-terms of actually them working on the game and exposing it to the masses.

I am really torn on this one. I love the art style, but hate that main character. It looks like a mix of Jet Set Radio and Dead Rising, and while I love Jet Set Radio, Dead Rising get real boring, really quick to me. I'm going to have to wait and see more gameplay on this one. It looks like it could be really cool, but it also has the possibility of being extremely repetitive. I look forward to seeing extended gameplay clips from E3.

looks fucking fantastic, and has insomniacs style all over it.

it also seems like tech (and maybe lessons learned) finally caught up to their vision they have been always trying to convey.

I love the overexagerated animations. Also can't wait to see all the crazy Amps upgrade will be in the final game.

They invited Journalist for Arkham Knight and it couldn't even run properly.

Your point?

From E3 announcment trailer and to Fall 2014 Year and a half to complete a game, with tons of content?

As they've stated they are going to probably roll out the rest of the game, and charge DLC.

We've seen how Titanfall came out. I have over 100 Hours on it, and I'm pretty bored out of my mind and sick of it. There isn't enough content, and the FInal Hours shows how the game was rushed to make March date to help Xbone out.

Now I'm a huge Insomniac fan have been since Disruptor. But I feel this game has had people talking since the trailer, and after Sony still outsold Microsoft in March, they need another game to showcase the system and get buyer's interested. Thats where Sunset overdrive comes in.

Like I think someone mentioned on here, are they not going to be at E3?

If they are and they show a better/Newer build of the game with final HUD, better animations, and the enemy design's they showed in concept art only. Then yes I guess a Fall 2014 will hold. But they still need a definitive date.

Them announcing now is getting buzz out, them saying Fall 2014 makes it so preorder's can start with retailers.

I think you didn't get it. What I mean is he is playing with the words so we end up having news like this

http://onlysp.com/sunset-overdrive-...currently-better-than-e3-trailer-graphically/

As you can see it says " Sunset Overdrive is “Looking Very Good”, Currently “Better than E3 Trailer” Graphically "
 
Not particularly impressed with it so far. I expected something a bit faster pace. Traversal looked slower than the CG trailer had me hyped for (though I am glad to see that much of the world can be used for travel). Wish they had shown a mission of some sort as the lack of an objective made that gameplay look pretty boring. Fun gameplay mechanics are one part of the puzzle but few games survive on that alone.
