Some people in here are way too picky, this game just looks like pure FUN and that's what's important. It looks great graphically also and that's a good thing, is it the best looking game ever? No, but it reminds me of old school arcade/dreamcast era games of pure gameplay/fun.

I will be downloading it the moment it goes up on XBL.

Wait, they're seriously still using the PS2 R&C engine? The one that was just a modified Jak & Daxter engine?

... Really?

No, it's not.

As far as I know, the PS2 engine was not a modified J&D engine. Their PS3 engine was also brand new, as was their multiplat engine for FUSE. This engine is likely also separate from all the others.
 
It looks really great!

And look - the gameplay we all expected from Bioshock Infinite!

I will say... as I kind of expected... it shares a lot visually with Fortnite
 
So the leak a while back:

Sunset Overdrive is set in some weird fucking future (like 2020)

Everyone drinks this fucking drink, Overcharge XT or whatever and you either turn into one of these giganto monsters or you die.

This big corp (Microsoft, lol) takes control of the city trying to wipe this shit out, because its their drink and they fucked up.

Supposedly there is managed content that will be developed for an entire year, as it is an open/breathable world.

Sounds dead on. Was this info known prior to this blowout?

Customisation in general is good, but when it's to the point of creating your character then you're just playing as a blank slate, and I hate that shit. Just a personal gripe of mine, but it's kind of a big deal.

It can still be personable. Think about games like Mass Effect and Dead Rising 3. An insane amount of customization for the main protagonist without it lacking being personal.
 
Got damn...sony better be bringing some colorful cartoony games to E3, because PvZ and especially this are making me want an XB1.....looks fantastic...
 
This looks really fun! I love the bright colors. Boss battle looks interesting as well. If I were on the market for another console...this would be a really convincing reason to pick up an X1.
 
Looks damn pretty, but I'm not sold on the gameplay yet. TPS that looks a lot like InFamous. Which is cool, but I need to see more.

I lost my hype for this game guys, when I heard that you can choose your gender. Am I sexist?

Are you implying that I'm sexist because I'd much rather play as a fully-fledged character than an avatar? Me, the guy who raves about Gravity Rush's Kat at every opportunity.

What if it's like Mass Effect?

This is the most interesting looking Insomniac IP since Ratchet in 2002. I hope this gen bodes well for Insomniac than the last. Resistance and Fuse style can die in fire and Ratchet is getting tired and boring.

I personally see this as a start of a great friendship between MS and Insomniac. I mean they get to keep their IP while MS funds and does the marketing, and MS knows how to spend on marketing.

And I feel they were always treated as the ginger headed step child with Sony last gen. Insomniac are now finally comfortable in their own skin.

it's not being picky imo. it's that standards have increased and while yes, it doesn have old school arcade/dreamcast vibes which are great...that's no excuse to have animations and movement from the dreamcast era. i just want it to move as great as it looks.
 
Actually looks pretty good. Not enough to get me to budge on X1, of course, but it certainly seems Insomniac is going to get out of their mediocre slump of the past few years. Does remind me of a scaled back infamous though (and of course that's not bad since I did love infamous).
 
I didn't bother to continue after 5secs of that spanish clip.

Are there any more upload with english or just the game sound ?

How in the world does this seem scaled back when compared to Infamous?

Not ideal, but better. I do rate Mass Effect 2 highly after all. I just had it in my head that this game had your standard protagonist, and Insomniac have a history of affable leads, so I was looking forward to play as one.

It's not a DEAL-BREAKER by any means, I'm just disappointed. Probably shouldn't have written "massively dwindled" as that's a bit of an exaggeration.

I just saw the gifs and that's what it felt like to me. Again, that may be totally off once I see the full video but I'm just going by the few seconds of gifs. Not a bad thing at all

Edit: so having seen the video, not quite the same impression though I still get infamous lime vibes. Now that's just me, and it may be because I have it fresh in mind

eh, depends on the diffculty. Wouldn't call them smart either. Games where you fight hordes of enemies(dead rising, dynasty warriors ect.) are always dumb. Hell, I can't think of a single AAA game with decent AI at all(F.E.A.R. maybe?) so complaining about AI in a game like this is especially dumb imo.

He might be referring to the Director system, which is a pretty smart spawn system.

I'm sorry I edited my comment, I interpreted your comment incorrectly. My bad, I should have waited for your next comment, apologies.

._. It won't hurt to say you liked what you saw! I could feel the frustration when you were typing that jump out of my monitor.
 
The E3 reveal trailer did nothing for me, but seeing this game in action makes me really want it. Plus comparisons to games like JSRF and THPS don't hurt at all lol.

Erm... have you not played Mass Effect?
Click to expand...

I get what is being said. Even Mass Effect's main character had am identity, iwould say Commander Sheppard is a more well known name than Ezio, Cole, Booker, and others. There's a difference between tailoring a character to your tastes than a character that is a complete blank slate, name and all.

Not sure which path Sunset Overdrive takes. Game does look fun though.
 
Love the art style and the gameplay looks like fun but the animations need some serious work for me. It look so clunky and stiff. I mean when turning there is no animation the character simply goes 180 instantly. Even if it increases the pace of the game i think it something that is not visually pleasing and should have died last gen.

Also don't get the hype for the "liquid" when it is static. I mean look at when he hits the car and it wobbles the thing the shoot into it stays still and clips through the whole car. If it had moved and the orange soda would have followed that I would have been impressed.
