More third person shooters need traversal systems like this in place. There's only so long you can you can go with these games having slide to cover as the only other option than shooting your weapon.

It also helps that these guys have made some of the greatest platformers of all time.

._. 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.

Oh, I like what I saw alright. The art is great, movement looks fun, and gameplay looks really interesting. It certainly looks like a combo breaker of the slump insomniacs been in and I'm excited to see where it goes. Not frustrated at all, I'll eventually get to play it, even if I have to wait a few years to buy myself a used X1 on the cheap (or sooner if MS u deducts the PS4 at E3)

 

[Atruvius]

Going by those gifs and the video this is one of the prettiest games I've seen. I hadn't even really thought about buying Xbone but after seeing this, man....

I do hope Insomniac hasn't abandoned PS4 or perhaps will try making PC titles as well in the future.

 

[ironcreed]

More goodness.

 

[stormplyr]

Wow this game looks so fun. I hope I can afford a XB1 by the end of the year.

 

[pokeystaples]

Customization 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.

I totally get this. It's the thing I hated most about Modnation Racers. I like customization to a point, but I hate thinking my character is just a bunch of thrown together parts. I also don't really have much artistic flair so it ends up being a chore.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

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

The spawn system is smart but the AI isn't beyond the aforementioned specials.

 

[T.O.P]

Yo developers, COLORS



They're awesome!

LOL!

 

[Silky]

I noticed that the wisp of motion following the player changes color. Does that have to do with the 'style' meter mentioned in the details? I:E, the higher the style is, the faster you go?

 

[DrM]

I really dislike art direction in this game.

Otherwise looking quite nice.

 

[mocoworm]

Surprisingly, different people have different opinions. That's doesn't mean they're "trying to get the hype train going," whatever that means. It means they have different opinions. I think it looks great, both visually and from a gameplay perspective.

AMEN brother!

Reveal looks great.

 

[legacyzero]

That actually looks REALLY cool.

Needs more brown and grey, with soldiers.

Just messing with ya.

noobasuar liking a game? I didn't think I'll live to see that day.

people didn't seem to catch onto it after infamous 1/2/3, so i doubt they will after this. but maybe that's a good thing? makes them special.

Infamous isn't a shooter though.

[StoppedInTracks]

Game looks amazing but the animations are "off" somehow. Can't explain it but take a closer look at the wallrunning part. And it seems only main char's animations are wonky cause the monsters sure animate correctly when scaling the walls etc.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

They need to increase the speed of the game, looks like it plays waaay to slow.

 

[flipswitch]

Was there something wrong with the YT encode? Framerate looked poor, that was my only complaint

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

I was not expecting to be this excited about this game. Bravo, Insomniac.

 

[shandy706]

The game's customization systems are expansive as well. Not only can you precisely tailor your character from a huge number of body parts and clothing pieces, but an Amps system lets you craft weapons and other tools to help you along the way. Recipes scattered around Sunset City require cans of Overcharge to be combined with other items to craft Amps; weapons each have Amp slots, which serve to upgrade them with powers that go well beyond simple stat buffs (though you get those, too).

So good!

High Five to everyone on now on the SO Bandwagon/Train.

It's like a slower infamous mixed with dead rising. Art style is phenomenal though.

Really hope there's more enemy variety than what's on display here.

See my post above for the first bolded part. Look at screenshots for the second bolded part.

It appears there are a massive amount of custom weapons/buffs/"powers". I'm sure "speed" buffs and abilities are on the list.

There appear to be quite a few enemy types in screens alone. From basic grunts, melee and gunner/sniper enemies, to large environment based mutants. (See the one that looks like it's melded with an excavator).

[The Cartographer]

That's a grinding simulator.

 

[KORNdoggy]

Infamous isn't a shooter though.

erm, have you played infamous? of course it is. it's "guns" just happen to shoot from your hands

pistol? check
machine gun? check
shotgun? check
rocket launcher? check
sniper rifle? check
grenades? check

it has all the staple shooter weapons, just diplayed via lighting/smoke/neon/...

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

This. But aside from that, it's looking pretty awesome! Glad to see Insomniac is still using fun weapons, it's like a different take on Ratchet and Clank, in a good way. More of this Insomniac!

 

[Kagutaba]

Wow, that looks great! This was the gameplay evolution Infamous needed and didn't get to interest me.

 

[Starsunder]

Fuck yeah, looks awesome.

Will buy.

 

[SniperHunter]

Also, that was by far the best motion blur I have ever seen. Even superior than the planetside 2 blur at ultra.

Saw the vid on my phone, I could bbe wrong

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

I really dont understand how anyone who likes video games could look at this footage and hate on it. It's going to have awesome weapons and what looks like really good platforming. Plus the game LOOKS really nice.

i'm really really impressed. Was not hyped for this before but now! WOW!

 

[nelsonroyale]

Now this looks cool. Fun and very nice visually. Good job insomniac!

 

[Dead]

They need to increase the speed of the game, looks like it plays waaay to slow.

Exactly.

Maybe there's a shoe upgrade for grinding not seen yet that improves speed?

 

[SquiddyCracker]

The mobility is nice though, you gotta admit.
That is the one thing I like coming from the MS console exclusives (Titanfall) that I hope will spread to other games.

I think that "trailing"-effect looks terrible though, because the game isn't nearly fast enough for a "trail" to look natural. It'd be like giving sonic's speed trail to mario.

 

[marrec]

They need to increase the speed of the game, looks like it plays waaay to slow.

Especially in GIF form. The video makes it look a bit faster though.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

This game has me leaning toward the Xbox One over the PS4. This + the info from the ntkrnl leaks might push me over the edge.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Liking what I'm seeing so far, this game is definitely on my radar.

Is it a requirement for all Xbox One exclusives to have wall running now?

 

[reKon]

It looks infamous, crackdown, prototype to me....

Nothing new

 

[Gestault]

Ok, I was sold when I saw that massive mushroom cloud with "BOOM" roiling in the center of it. This art style is completely rad.

 

[-PXG-]

Welp, hype massively dwindled as a result.

I guess you just love playing as spiky haired white dudes, huh?

 

[sn00zer]

That's a grinding simulator.

That would be Shin Megami games

Spoiler

ha

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

"last gen gameplay"

Infamous second son.....Sure i deffo agree. Ps3 game with shinier graphics. I really enjoyed number 1 and 2....second son outside of cutscenes and characters was boring as hell and way too short/easy

 

[Jarrod38]

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

That would be Shin Megami games

Spoiler

ha

It's funny because those games are literally anti grind.

 

[iamvin22]

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...

must resist .......... spilling

 

[NemesisPrime]

More goodness.

I like it. I like it a lot.

 

[KORNdoggy]

this gif needs to be burried.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Looks visually interesting (I thought insomniac was dead after fuse, guess they still got it)

Gameplay and leveldesign should be fine too if it's like the r&c games (just not all4one)

Nice to see a new IP and a colorful game and it's not even a covershootbang!

 

[shinnn]

They need to increase the speed of the game, looks like it plays waaay to slow.

They said you can get 8m/s (~28 km/h) using the grinds. Don't know if the shoot mechanics would work with faster speed.

Uncharted reeeally needs it for exempel, just think how nice it would be to remove the worst parts of Uncharted (the cinematic climbing sections) and add a real traversal mechanic like this one. Mmm...
