I mean I don't think there's anything stopping Sony from finding a way to release SSO on the PS5. My guess is a good remaster.

I have more doubts over an actual sequel though. But if there is one I wouldn't be surprised if they announced the two at the same time.

It's a great game - just recently played a bit of it on my XSX not too long ago...
I'd give it another run on PS5 - I'm not paying $70 for it though..

Cant wait for the same people that shat on sunset overdrive and called it a mediocre game to praise it to high heavens.

Well if the game was crap back then it's still crap today. I don't see that changing.
But one thing is true. Most of Insomniacs fans are on playstation.

Sunset overdrive seems to have a hardcore following amongst xbox players, but I gave it a go myself on gamepass as soon as I got my XSX... and I really thought it was terrible. The dialogue, the presentation was just cringy.

Kinda of weird attitude to have about something came out in 2014. Just think of them as the same people who will now will praise every Zenimax game to the high heavens.

Well it's true. Just because you remaster a game years later doesn't make it good. I understand many liked the game but there are others that didn't.

Just bought this game so I hope it’s rather a sequel than a remaster

If MS introduces Bethesda to the concept of a QA department their games will be amazing.

The mobility and some of the weapons were cool and I loved the color pallete. Kinda reminded me of Bio Infinite.
But yeah, the dialogue, tower defense bullshit and the fact that was another open world checkbox game in a sea of open world checkboxes had me burning out quicker than I thought.

It has always seemed a little odd to me that Fizzie looks exactly like Sackboy.

I think one of the dimensions in the game may be the Sunset Overdrive dimension so they could make a short cameo. Same goes with Sly Racoon (I hate Sly Racoon, let's hope it isn't the case) and maybe some other game.
They could even use it as a teaser for a potential PS+PC Sunset Overdrive remaster/port. But if it was for me, I wouldn't waste Insomniac's talent on Sunset Overdrive and would outsource the ports to someone else (and wouldn't make Sunset Overdrive 2).
After Ratchet, I'd like to see Insomniac focused on Spider-Man 2 (with Peter as main character again and featuring Venom) and after that to work on a -maybe VR friendly- new IP. And if they want to use another Marvel IP, then I'd want a X-Men (or Wolverine) game.

Insomniac is the most ridiculous bargain in history at a laughable $239M acquisition! What a studio!

That would be much cooler than a remake of Sunset Overdrive.

They are making every one of those 25 exclusives, they don't sleep.
Insomniac are beasts.

If there were one franchise I'd gamble on, revitalize, and use it as a back-end to combine Sony universes into one big universe, I'd bet on Ratchet and Clank.
Let's hope this time it's not a fighting game.

They have two full studios one in California the other in NC.
THEY ALSO HAve been beefed up since their purchase.
Sony is all in on them. Right now in terms of return value? I would have to believe Insomniac is most valued right now.
Also all these teases I wonder if they are just breaking the 4th wall and we see some of these worlds in the game as just little nods to other PlayStation franchises.

Spiderman = context sensitive gameplay designed so that casuals have no issue jist doing cool shit by random simply by holding down a single button...
fighting system being Batman but with webs.
and all in all not innovating in any way, being handholdy all the way to the end, with annoying sidestory mission with other characters.
meanwhile Sunset Overdrive, classic arcade feel inspired by Jet Set Radio. focis on skill based gameplay that rewards you for playing well by giving you cooler and better abilities the higher your combo goes and the better you chain stuff together, while punishing you for standing still and doing basic shooty shoot.
no handholding, no sidestory crap with boring gameplay and not a game that has been made 10 times already.
do sum it down:
Spider-Man = do cool stuff by holding down button
Sunset Overdrive = do cool stuff because you played well enough to even unlock the ability to do the cool stuff
Spider-Man may have been the best Spider-Man game ever, but the concept is not much different than the last dozens of Spider-Man games. it played it save
I platinumed Spider-Man so I'm not saying it's bad, but the only reason it is held in such a high regard, while the not that much worse Amazing Spider-Man 2 just a few years prior wasn't, is because it was a PS exclusive game published by Sony... and that's a fact.
it was a slightly more polished version of said game, and that's about it

Not just efficient but high quality also. They’re the premiere PS Studio in my opinion. Could realistically be talking Miles Morales/Spider-Man Remastered, Ratchet and SS:OD Remastered within 18-24 months of the PS5 launch. Just insane.
