Sunset Overdrive Q&A live now.

Brink has forever burned me for buying into any hype for this type of game with focus on traversal before release. Fool me twice and all that.

JStevenson quick with that censor button lol
 
omg I came in right as it went off. Good thing there's the archive feature, but these guys are good at answering questions as they stream. I didn't have any big question though, just hoping they have something else in the works that's also colorful and cheery. If they find success in this maybe they will make more colorful stuff, or maybe they will continue making SO's for MS.
 
Did someone ask if we actually get to surf around town on cafeteria trays?

Fuck fish AI. That's the real mark of next gen awesome. Orange trays EVERYWHERE.
 
So this could actually be a challenging platformer/traversal type game? Day one easily.

On another note, can we expect a varied amount of locations?

If he posted an actual link, Twitch settings automatically delete links unless changed by the broadcaster. Either that, or most Broadcasters set it up so that you can't post links.
 
"We don't have enough room in here for one of the game's director, because we wanted to make sure our CM was always in the shot."

It infuriates me when Community Managers try to make themselves bigger than their brand, and unfortunately Insomniac's community team are all about themselves. Go back to the Fuse unboxing video. The game wasn't the focus there, it was about a guy who was very impressed with himself screwing around on camera.

That said, this game looks dope.

uh, Marcus was out of the office. The original plan was to do this yesterday morning with Marcus Skyping in... but obviously some stuff went down. So it would've TOTALLY been all three of them.

and the fuse unboxing video was just general office sillyness. sheesh

Was that you in the background? Also I want all those shirts. And a Microsoft burger truck.
 
Watching the archive they just said that the trailer gave them ideas on what they could do in the game (shooting while performing acrobats through the world, grinding, zip lining, etc.), so this is another concept video like Overstrike, but this time they may very well stick to the style. They really seem to dig the concept, and they can't pull another FUSE and let people down. Also they have a rule for no more rubble, grays, and going for an adult Ratchet progress (colorful). More games like this Insomniac, good move!

Color promotes fun, dull color promotes emotio.. oh crap well I guess they won't be making a serious touching story this time around. However that last Saints Row 4 trailer was very emotional, funny, and colorful so it can work!

Oh hay JS!

Tell the guys, /bravo on the trailer breakdown. And your padawan is doing awesome. I like the jokes and the exchange between him and Ted. "We pay you?"

Naw, Marcus was just in the woods. I was just there to be awkward and make Ted and Drew look awesome by contrast. Good to know that it worked!

Hi, I'm Brandon, by the way. I'm usually not impressed with myself, but there was this one time in 3rd Grade when I kicked a homerun in kickball. That was pretty rad.

Sorry, you thought I was hogging space on screen. We'll go back to 4:3 instead of 16:9.

Cheers!

Not to jump on you or anything, but please make this a 60fps game. Please.

to be very clear - this video is based on the game. We built an original version of this video for game inspiration and got a lot of ideas from it. Then we had an outside house make a really polished version for the announcement and E3.

But it still very much represents the vision of the game, as well as what we're currently making (though obviously in more polished prerendered form)

This happens often, sadly. Worse yet is when the CMs think they matter MORE than the brand, when they've just piggybacked on its success. I'll be kind and not name anyone... But I can think of at least FOUR. I admit, I have almost ZERO influence, despite having launched more than TWO games. But that's not the point...it's about the brand. The game.
