Some of the post in this thread are golden.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Now I'm just listening to Fort Minor like an ass because of that damn sample.

 

[Jito]

Hot damn that looks like more Crackdown, awesome.

 

[FireSol]

hmmm...not impressed at all

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Wow, looks absolutely amazing!
Phil wasn't lying.
GOTY!

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Really loving the way this game looks. Kind of makes me wish I had purchased an Xbox One now.

 

[BlackJace]

Well would you look at that, an XBO exclusive that's tempting. Dat $500 though 0.o

 

[TrueGrime]

I think it looks like an Infamous Wannabe
The sad part is that the Infamous caracter has 120,000 polygons and this one only have 40,000 polygons.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Digging this EG blurb:

It's possible to move from one side of the city to the other without touching the ground, and this focus on high-velocity traversal more readily calls to mind the likes of Tony Hawk's, Jet Set Radio and the Prince of Persia series' than it does any third-person shooter counterpart. The clear visual language used to construct the city out of myriad grind-able edges level furniture promotes a sense of skill-based flow reminiscent of Roll7's 2D arcade skater, OlliOlli, only here the playground is an entire city that stretches into three-dimensional space.

 

[Z_Y]

We get it bro. You can move along now. There are plenty of 1080p or 60fps game you can discuss in other threads.

Holy shit. Do people even play games anymore?

 

[Sid]

Of course... nothing...

Apart from being open world how does it look anything like it?

 

[On Demand]

hmmm...not impressed at all

It's ok. I want to play it too.

 

[Thrakier]

Holy shit. Do people even play games anymore?

Sure, that is why these people are talking about framerate.

 

[Kenshin001]

You meant Crackdown, right?

Eh, it looks like Infamous. Specifically the Induction Grind from Infamous though there was that kind of stuff in R&C too. It's kind of weird how they've tried to make something unique but it reminds me of other games so much, including their own. It looks surprisingly derivative. People saying but it looks so colorful mustn't have played a R&C game. Game looks OK though, it could be fun and a return to form. Not something I'd pick up. The whole premise is too cheesy in an offputting way and it looks like stuff I've played enough before.

 

[nynt9]

Gotta say, this game looks pretty good. As a person who is not going to buy an Xbox One until Microsoft back down on some of their policies, this makes for a very compelling argument for me to change my mind, but I can wait until I see impressions post-release.

 

[Tsundere]

You're pretty transparent Tsundere, your first comment was not answering any questions.

Yes, I'm transparent. I said the game looked colorful then proceeded to criticize the AI (which is a big part of the gameplay no? Don't you want the AI to actually be... smart?).

 

[backflip10019]

Umm... it's third person and your character kinda flies around? DEAD RINGER.

 

[keltickennedy]

Holy shit. Do people even play games anymore?

Only if they are 4K 60fps brah!

Spoiler

kidding

 

[Tekku]

Seems to be all about the fun. Sign me up!

 

[Putty]

Very colourful, not keen on the IQ, LOD seem fairly aggressive and the buildings in the background look rather low on detail.Looks fun but think it needs polishing up a bit more.

 

[Nightengale]

Wow, looks amazing!
Phil wasn't lying.

Phil said it looked better than the E3 trailer.

I disagree with that statement.

 

[On Demand]

Hey Larry, Phill, how about that $300 at E3?

:/

 

[DagnastyEp]

Wow.

From my initial impression at the trailer last year (including the info that was put out at that time), I've gotta say this game is now exceeding my expectations. Really looking forward to playing it myself.

 

[Anion]

So the colors get me a PvZ vibe to it with the creatures giving me a DR3 feeling. The controls do look like Crackdown/infamous like

Hey Larry, Phill, how about that $300 at E3?

:/

I would by a white w/ orange and blue highlighted special edition X1

 

[LtOrange]

The world needs more colorful games like this. The game play and art style looks really refreshing.

 

[Raptor]

Colors and art style are incredible, graphics are great too.

Gameplay and traversal looks like a lot of fun, it lacks gore/blood though so something like DR3 is more appealing to me.

 

[Pbae]

Def getting a Ratchet and Clank vibe.

I'm very optimistic if they're going more so in that direction.

 

[mocoworm]

Yes, I'm transparent. I said the game looked colorful then proceeded to criticize the AI (which is a big part of the gameplay no? Don't you want the AI to actually be... smart?).

The game isn't even ready for release and it already looks this good.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I feel that this game isn't reaching its true potential without being on PS4. It is obvious that Insomniac had to cut down on features, design and graphicss to make this work on the Xbox One. It is sub-HD yet they can't even get it to run at 60fps? M$ stay losing.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Can't wait for reviews.

 

[N30RYU]

where is the video?

 

[Bloodrage]

The Good:

- It looks fun
- The colors do match the initial reveal, which I was concerned about a couple days ago
- We can expect some funny weapon upgrades given this is Insomniac
- It doesn't look like Fuse
- Traversal looking good

The Bad:

- Animations look weird and floaty
- The AI looks really bad but it does look like a pretty simple game
- No confirmation of native 1080p or 60fps, which is weird, considering 1. it's Insomniac and 2. it's technically not that impressive

Overall, seems solid. Won't sell me an Xbox One but it looks good.

 

[JaggedSac]

Asscreed autoplay delux?

If skill/precision would be needed to pull all this off i might be interested, by the looks of it it's enough to point in the direction you want to go and your char will autosnap to whatever is there.

In this gif he is neither jumping on the umbrella nor is he anywhere near the post.

I think you can jump/bounce off of anything, didn't have to be the umbrella.

 

[hayguyz]

Fuse

Never Forget

 

[Barzul]

One thing I can't understand is why MS would allow this to be showcased before E3? This would have taken the roof off.

Must mean they are that confident about what they have to show at the conference. I think Next gen Halo will bring even more of a wow factor.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

This looks fun as hell.

 

[ekim]

where is the video?

Oops. Looks like Gameinformer broke some embargo, huh?

 

[jond76]

Looks like the footage is gone...

 

[nbraun80]

Yes, I'm transparent. I said the game looked colorful then proceeded to criticize the AI (which is a big part of the gameplay no? Don't you want the AI to actually be... smart?).

You can't really get a good idea of the AI from the clips, but they are climbing the towers and such. AI in DR3 wasn't spectacular, but you could still die easily if you got surrounded by a horde with a poor weapon. Also in the IGN article, he mentions that he did die quite a few times.

 

[Guymelef]

I have a busy job for you.
You can go and correct all gaming media from this day on about inFamous/Crackdown references.

 

[Tsundere]

The game is nowhere near ready for release and it already looks this good.

Isn't this game slated to release this year?

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Ahaha, I love it. I get what you're doing here, but you're in for a bad time man.

 

[BruiserBear]

Uhh, I'm answering questions? It is totally relevant to the questions and the topic. You don't like it, just ignore it.

In case you haven't figured it out already, you're not fooling anyone. Seriously, there are lots of other threads on this forum for you to participate in. You have no intention of ever buying this game, so just move on.

 

[Appollowexx]

Def getting a Ratchet and Clank vibe.

I'm very optimistic if they're going more so in that direction.

Yes! It looks like a slightly more 'mature', open world Ratchet and Clank crossed with Crackdown and Jet-set Radio. Really neat idea.

 

[Blimblim]

Can't wait to get some Gamersyde footage!

I wouldn't count on us getting any videos since Microsoft releases videos quite rarely now outside exclusive stuff like GI and their own youtube channel.

 

[Sid]

Nah

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Maybe the game is designed a certain way. Geez come on dude.

[kuppy]

I didn't have to much interest into this game anymore, but now I'm all for it. Seems like Insomniac really put all they've learned into this, what could result a glorious outcome.

 

[mocoworm]

Exactly. If they are showing this now, what the hell do they have coming up at E3 !?

Isn't this game slated to release this year?

It's got another 5 months. It's due out at the end of Sept 2014 I think.
