Game looks great but is it Xbox One footage?

Should've watched a Total Biscuit video on it then.

I have only seen a couple gifs so far, but it does look colorful and could be fun.

I think you misread what I wrote. I'm calling co-op PvE myself. That's what a horde mode is.
The game is exclusive to Xbox One so I dont get what you're trying to say.
Insomniac doesn't like 60 fps anymore. =(

It looks more like Ratchet + Crackdown + DR + a rainbow all thrown into a blender.

Blech, zombie enemies. Nice looking city though.
I thought the same thing when I first saw the reveal, it's like Dead Rising 3 but with a different art style and very social too right? Not that it's a bad thing.
Yeah I know, I guess I'm just hoping they make an exception for this one. Into the Nexus was really hurt by the 30 FPS limit... like a lot. I feel like this game could be even more hurt by it, judging by how fast paced it looks. I hope it's 60 FPS, resolution is secondary.

Looks good, most important, different, colors ohh colors how I love thee!
The only thing DR3 has in common from reading the article on SO is the fun weapons crafting and a nice colour platte everything else parkour, fast movement around the levels is not in DR3.

I have no idea how people are saying this looks like DR3, I played that game and all the DLC's...I am not seeing the comparison at all. Looks like Infamous/Jet Set/Bioshock(only cus of the skyrails) to me
No superpowers (at least, not like infamous superpowers). Game seems like a third person shooter jet set radio.

Looks like a better game in the gifs than in the actual video... I don't know what is the goal in it... is a race? you have to kill all the enemies?

The people making the comparison probably haven't played DR3 but instead watched a few mins gameplay on YT or looked at a few gifs...

What I'm trying to say is is this from an actual Xbox One or are we gonna get a downgrade? It's a legitimate question.
beings all the articles mention going to the studio to play and things like pressing X to grind, I'd say its all on X1
Since its sub-1080p it is probably from an XBO devkit.
I hope so cause its the best "gimmick" of either next gen controller. I love them.
This looks gorgeous, really digging the JGR like stylized look. Also, it looks like it out Sucker Punched 'Sucker Punch' on both that sticky Sly geometry hopping and that fast InFamous city traversal. Very excited for this, was wondering which Insomniac would turn up to this party.

I think people think that the XB1 is way weaker than it is.
What else could it be from?

I think he's asking if it's running on a dev pc of some kind.
its an open world 3rd person shooter, you'll have a full campaign with missions, cut scenes, etc.

The graphics look great and perfectly convey the art direction they are going for with this game. Gameplay looks fun, but the video doesn't show enough to give you a true idea of what its like to move around the world. It seems like they are holding back a lot still.
oh ok cool
Not sure, they will probably explain it better at e3 but I'm assuming it's an openworld zombie game. Probably will have some coop knowing it's from Insomniac
That's very wishful thinking.
That's a pretty base comparison.
- DR is about much larger herds of enemies by default.
- DR is about in-close combat, with guns as a bonus. This game looks like the exact opposite.
- DR's character are mostly normal humans, with no superhuman traversal abilities.
- There are no Vehicles inSO so far. DR3 makes them very relevant, to combat slower player movement.
- SO seems like the buildings are just there for platforms and wall-running. DR's buildings were all interactive and able to be entered.
- So far, we see no resource gathering. Resource management is a big part of DR.
The open world and light-hearted personality might be similar, but SO looks as similar to DR3 as it does to something like Lost Planet or Crackdown. It's a very simple, surface level comparison, that'll completely fall apart when one gets into individual gameplay.

One thing I love about this game that I haven't seen anyone mention is the absolute lack of UI. Nothing but glorious gameplay visuals on the screen.

If you play it, you'd be able to tell that it looks nothing like this game from a game play aspect.. SO is more of a platformer, it's main character is more of a Super hero, it's more cartoony, you can wall run, grind, scale buildings, it's a brighter, more colorful world. I'd say crackdown looks more similar to this game, game play wise.

Looks like a better game than Second Son. Looks like next gen will start with Insomniac

listen to the mad man
My immediate reactions:
- It makes the same promise as Crackdown 2, but with Insomniac's sort of buoyant sense of humour and zest.
- It looks gorgeous and very vibrant. Aesthetically it's like a fever dream skate punk; comparisons to JSR are definitely earned visually, although the latter has a flatter palette.
- I hope the rails system for traversal feels very tight.
- I hope that the tons of trash mobs feel satisfying to defeat rather than nuisances, Crackdown 2 occasionally veered into the latter category.
- I was very interested from the CG trailer and pedigree and continue to be interested.
- As soon as I finish the Bureau, I'll be starting Fuse.

Looks really cool. Love all the infamous vibes and colors. Plus it might have the sense of humor of R&C. Won't be able to play it for awhile. =/
Looks fan-fuckiing-tastic.
I'm a huge Insomniac fan, so I've had my eye on this one since its reveal. Unfortunately, I don't buy consoles for just one game, so I'm waiting for more titles that interest me to hit the Xbox ONE before I bite (and maybe a price cut). So far, though, this game is in the forefront of me purchasing one when it comes out.
