Sunset Overdrive - E3 Trailer and Gameplay

Game of the show for me. I don't need to see any more.

Will be on the lookout for a digital pre-order option and the custom controller.

Edit: I vote for It's a F@#king Videogame as the OT subtitle.

Not a big fan of the UI but that's all right.

I want to know more about customization and multiplayer. HOW CAN I GET MY POWERPUFF TATTOOS INSOMNIAC
 
This game stole the show for me, it's right down my street.

With this and P*'s X1 exclusive if MS keeps on bringing the games I like I'll be choosing the X1 over the PS4 as my console for most of this gen even though I really dislike MS and Sony's hardware is by far the better hardware. Just like I did last gen.
 
I'm not 100% about the gameplay, it feels kind of weightless. But that is easily the trailer of the show, love the art style and attitude.
 
Gameplay looks potentially frustrating since it looks like it pulls you towards stuff you grind on which means you'll feel that you're not in control. Hopefully it's not so bad it ruins the game since I really like the graphics and the gameplay if they pull it off properly looks fun.

Not a big fan of the humor though.

This was my first thought as well.

I LOVE the irreverent, 4th wall busting 'tude the devs put into this. The sheer "we rock and we dont give a fuck" coolness makes me want to play the game. And, as others have noted, its refreshing to have something more upbeat and goofy in a sea of serious (the new DR3 DLC appeals for a similar reason). But when I saw the actual gameplay it basically makes me think of "old-school SSX rail grinding with mutants and guns." I'm not sure if thats good or bad or somewhere in between.
 
Looks awesome. Here's what you do:

White Xbox One
Decals of stuff like the original box art (people into that stuff can deface their box, the rest get a nice clean one)
Sunset Overdrive (DL Code)
No Kinect
1TB HD

read this. it explains Chaos Squad pretty well. It's new and just up this morning.

We have 24 Chaos Squad stations on the show floor, but our Chaos Squad demo here only encompasses the Night Defense portion of Chaos Squad.

Last night at Xbox Showcase we had the Night Defense demo from Chaos Squad, as well as the single-player demo that Ted played - which was playable for press.

incredible response last night, feeling really good despite no sleep.

You hit X to attach to a grind, so you never get the pull in you are worried about unless you want it.

Congrats. The game looks like a blast.
 
Looks like fun but really the lack of overall aim seems to make it all a bit pointless.

I can see it getting old quickly, but this looks much better than the intial gameplay shown.
 
Watching the IGN stream, seeing someone play it without a scripted path for a demo looks absolutely incredible. I love all the environmental weapons.
 
I like...

But as a fan of the Infamous series what does this do differently enough for it to sell me an xbox one?

I just saw the IGN gameplay and it looked great...but the world looks very over the top to me.

I think your second sentence answers the first one.

The over the topness is precisely what makes it appealing to me. Crazy record player guns > teke powers for me personally.
