Dat cover. Can't wait for this game to come out.
I thought R3 was the best of R1 and R2 into one for me, I enjoyed it.

Yeah, that was the point in the trailer where I was done as well. I've come close to caving and buying an XB1 so many times now but I think the next good deal that pops up will be it for me.

I dunno. I do hope a Halo 1 Anniversary Port is included. Hell MS just give us every Halo game in one package for Xbone. I'd pay upwards of hell 150 for a package that included them all. If just the original 3 plus 4 I'd pay upwards of 100 for that.

Visually love the look of it, so much color. It's nice to see something that just looks like good old, silly, video game fun.

I think there was a huge competition at Sony between all the first party developers, all of them wanted to be showcase as Sony's top dog. In the end Sony choose Naughty Dog and left behind Insomniac. They wanted to move away from Sony owning there IP's and went with EA but that went horribly and MS offer them a change to make any kind of game they wanted and also keep the IP. Is a win-win for Insomniac.

All they have to do is Lower the price. You can put the Kinect in a drawer or something after the initial setup I believe. But, to be quite honest, I bet if you use it for a week or so you'll learn to appreciate what it does. Just using your voice to turn it on and off and switch between games/apps on the fly by just saying "Xbox, got to..." makes it worth it. Not really $500 worth it for non-fans, but worth it nonetheless.

Let him keep living on his fantasy world.
Psst. If whoever's making the OT needs help with art/graphic stuff. Holla at me.

I'm seeing some people complaining about the IQ on twitter. Am I missing something?

That cover art at the end looks glorious.

gAt damn that box art looks dumb in the best way.
Apparently MS is going to market the hell out of this game.

So do we know what part of Insomniac is doing this?
I would guess this was born from "the good" Ratchet people?

People on the internet are complaining?
Losing the Kinect is an easy way to cut $100 off and still keep the current profit margins of the box. So if the Kinect is pulled, on top of a price cut, the console can be $350-$300 after which is much more appealing to people who are just going to toss the Kinect then $400 with a useless peripheral.

Definitely looks fun. I would totally hog the demo xbox one at Best Buy if they had this up and running. NO! YOU CAN"T PLAY THE GAME, LITTLE KID.

I'm not really sure why the drop Kinect narrative exists. Just drop the price and leave Kinect in.

Haha. I was that pumped watching the video I didn't even look at the text at the end. Also, if that's the final cover I'll be very pleased.
Anyone got any decent Sunset Overdrive wallpapers?

Think I'm getting this retail rather than digital just for the awesome boxart. Not even lying.

The span of one year could be Sept 2014-Sept 2015. And a halo collection on XB1 this year and Halo 5 next year isn't THAT crazy.
Resistance 3 Team in Burbank, I believe.

I'm just winding what about the image quality is lacking? Seriously question. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching different videos when I hear complaints. My eyes must be broken.

Looks fun, graphics aren't too impressive though and the animation needs work.

This looks awesome. Fall is going to be great.

basically everyone in Burbank who isn't working on Outernauts is working on this.
nope, just the regular stuff. this has become boring already.
exactly as boring as the typical "remove the kinect, drop the price to 250-300 and I'm in"

yeah it's just fucking visually gorgeous and the main thing is the gameplay looks mindboggling fun
Don't you guys have a North Carolina office?

what are you waiting for
I'm looking forward to reading the article in Edge about this game to find out more about what they are aiming for with the game as a whole, because the trailers today did nothing for me.
First impressions from these trailers is that the gameplay really comes off as a B-tier Crackdown or Infamous, with Insomniac's usual awesome weapon design being the only differentiator. Still, even with the traversal appearing stilted and somewhat uninspired, it could be a whole lot of fun if using those mechanics is required to succeed due to the high difficulty of the enemies, but none of that will really matter if the combat encounters are easy with just your basic weapons and abilities on the ground, which is likely considering the amps and Insomniac's usual over-the-top weapons.
And as for the "style" the game has with art direction and humor, it feels like they're trying too hard to force it in at every turn without having the substance to back it up. The part of the trailer I liked most was the respawning from a random weird thing, but that only seemed to work on a "What the hell?" level and not in any broader context or relation to anything else to make it funny.
On the whole this game comes off to me, to make an analogy, like a fit dude in his mid-40s with a heavy suntan and a tribal tattoo on his arm, wearing aviators, an Ed Hardy tee, board shorts, and Billabong sandals (the ones with the bottle cap opener on the bottom) leaning up against his custom Honda Civic (lowered suspension, aftermarket rims, neon underneath) while it blasts a custom mixtape that consists entirely of songs by Jamiroquai and Avicci. While plenty of those things are (or were) cool on their own, when they are packed together so densely into one package with little cohesion between it all, it just comes off as trying way too hard in a pretty lame way.

they made several Ratchet games, including last year's Into the Nexus. And some of them have been working on Sunset as well.
