that box art is awesome, cept for the mohawk

 

[stay gold]

Glad to see it's confirmed for 2014, will be picking it up day 1.

That boxart is rad too.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

This game looks really fun and the color scheme is awesome. But I can't help but feel like there's an intense overreaction to what this game really is. It just doesn't take itself seriously enough for me to take it as seriously as people here are. Do you guys really think a cartoony arcadey action game is a system seller? Obviously that doesn't even really matter, I'm just thinking out loud after reading some of the responses on here.

Insomniac is an awesome studio tho, we should not be surprised that they're working on a good game.

I don't think it's going to be a system seller, but so what? We need games like Mirror's Edge, Asura's Wrath, Binary Domain, Lollipop Chainsaw, Vanquish, even if they don't get the sales they deserve, and even if they don't move systems.

I'm just glad that games like this are getting made.

 

[Talon]

Reminds me of Jet Set Radio meets Ratchet & Clank.

 

[Dabanton]

Just watched the video. Fantastic stuff. Explains things clearly for people.

Glad they didn't wait until Monday to release it as having that awful fucking YT video out there was doing more harm than good.

 

[Nyx]

Great trailer, game looks gorgeous, but I'm not buying a XBO for it.

 

[Reave]

Sunset Overdrive is... wow. I can't believe I didn't have this game on my radar.

 

[Lucreto]

Here you go:

He is lucky to escape before something bad happens to that floating van.

Less of an overreaction, more like not the positive reaction you wanted for a game you weren't going to buy.

I for one am crazy excited about this. First trailer got me going, this one makes me wish I could buy it now.

Funny how port-begging has now become Put-The-Sequel-On-My-Favorite-Platform-begging.

why not?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

 

[TrueGrime]

Here you go:

LOL. OMG!

Brace yourselves

Bish is coming

 

[Dunkers92]

Looks pretty damn awesome. This could be the game that makes me buy a One. Can't wait to see more

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Sunset Overdrive |OT| Throwing out Bish.

Hell yes, lol.

Ah. Gaf wouldn't dare ahah.

 

[PhatSaqs]

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

And the back tires are in the ground.

 

[Dragonborn]

I think that a great way to increase the quality of each ratchet game would be to not have one come out each year by the same developers.

Especially when I can't but feel like Insomniac just sees the IP as a quick buck to fund their other games. It deserves much better than that

 

[Philippo]

Here you go.

EDIT: lol

Yep, there it is.

Also, even if i won't be able to play the game, i swear i'll pay big money for a shirt with the cover pic on. Do it Insomniac!

 

[taco543]

This is the main reason I bought a xbox one! I can't wait! also I just have to say I actually kinda liked the previous placeholder boxart a little bit more, i liked its simplicity, but this new one isnt that bad.

 

[PInk Tape]

This game looks pretty cool so far. I just want to see a bit more footage before I get excited.

Spoiler

Those mutants look similar to those things from Downpour and I can't unsee it.

 

[Japanmanx3]

First time I've even been a tiny bit interested in an XB1 game.

Looks great but I probably won't ever play it, oh well.

.
Got an inFamous/Crackdown/Dynasty Warriors vibe from the trailer. Color always attracts my attention but otherwise seems like a fun shooting gallery. No foreseeable Xbox One purchase so eh.

 

[Red Chocobo]

Bish is coming

I'm sure he will see the funny side

Spoiler

I hope

 

[bebop242]

I'm going to be completely honest and say this looks pretty damn cool and fun. If I had an Xbox One, I would have gone to the store and preordered it today. Good luck to Insomniac on this title, it looks ace and they deserve a higher level of success then they have had previously.

Enemies look kinda ass tho, especially the normal swarm ones.

 

[Silky]

Sunset Overdrive |OT| Fizzie's Bizarre Adventure

 

[TheOddOne]

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

The alien driving seems pretty cool tho.

 

[Despera]

Love the artstyle and how colorful the game looks, but all that matters is how the gameplay holds up. Random fun is only fun for a little while so I hope the game showcases some variety while you progress through story missions.

btw, that van seems to brush or even go through that telephone pole? lol

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

Oh didn't even notice the tires XD

 

[kaching]

Never looked at it that way before but Insomniac made 10 games last gen?

No wonder the quality bar dropped after just 2 games.

7 yr generation and two of those games are much smaller DLC-like entries. They have always been a company who have aimed for at least one annual release, since well before last gen.

And hopefully Ratchet stays away for a year or 5.

You could always just stay away from a franchise that you're tired off rather than ask a developer to stay away for you...some of us still like these games. Personally, after R&C:Into the Nexus, I'm eager for more.

 

[eso76]

Looks great. Is there any word on resolution/FPS?

Going by the amount of motion blur, has to be 30fps.

Looks great

 

[JawzPause]

This looks like good fun. I hope it isn't permanently an exclusive as i can't see my myself buying an Xbox one anytime soon

 

[Japanmanx3]

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

Cannot unsee.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

Just proves how forward-thinking Jet Set Radio was.

 

[Melchettsmoustache]

I would really consider getting a one now for this. Looks really interesting and being a ratchet and clank fan there's lots of similarities .

 

[Randdalf]

The art style for this game blows me away, it's really well done.

 

[Gbraga]

This game looks like Ratchet and Clank mixed with Saint's Row and crack. I need it.

Ratchet & Crack

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Looks great and a great exclusive for the Xbone.

Not going to buy the system for it, but I would totally get the game if I had one.

 

[JLeack]

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

That's a feature in the game.

/s

 

[il Diavolo]

This looks like good fun. I hope it isn't permanently an exclusive as i can't see my myself buying an Xbox one anytime soon

Microsoft is publishing so you won't see this game on a rival platform.

 

[viveks86]

This looks incredible but the line about "this is the game Insomniac's been waiting to make for over 20 years" seems like a huge slap in the face to all their fans on Sony consoles. I mean, I understood when they went multi-platform because they wanted their games to reach more people, but releasing the "game they've been waiting to make all these years" exclusive and during the launch of a console race when install bases are smallest?

What's the thinking Insomniac?

Excellent way to twist such a simple comment into flame-bait. Good job!

 

[Gaz_RB]

As soon as the XB1 gets a sale again, I'm in. Especially if that Halo 2 Anniversary rumor comes true.

 

[bigmac996]

Pretty excited for this, but not crazy about that smear that comes out of the emblem on the character's jacket. Looks really tacked on.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I really don't quite get these Infamous comparisons. There are definitely some shared aspects but I think much better comparisons could be made.

This is very much Dead Rising to me (crazy combine-able weapons, hordes of monsters, open world) mixed with something like JSR or Tony Hawk or some such (maneuverability, grinding, wall running, etc.).

I guess people tend to compare to the most recent similarity they can think of.

Nah. It's none of those. It's straight-up open-world Ratchet & Clank. If you've played all the R&C games like I have, it's pretty obvious--just the models and setting has changed.

Again, not saying that's a bad thing either. I love those games, obviously. This is the kind of game Insomniac has had the best success making.

Now the fun part will be seeing people cream over this game who claimed to hate R&C always because it wasn't on their platform of choice, and vice-versa.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Ratchet & Crack

It's got to be Ratchet and Crank.

 

[anthonyOA]

The games visuals ooze fun. Loving the world Insomniac have created. I just hope it doesn't get too repetitive like with other 3rd person shooter.

The ease of traversal should help.

 

[Vestal]

i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

It's a gag obviously. Look at the front of the van, looks like a cut out.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Cannot unsee.

It's a parkour vehicle.

 

[daman824]

Especially when I can't but feel like Insomniac just sees the IP as a quick buck to fund their other games. It deserves much better than that

I think that's how sony sees it.

 

[Gleethor]

I really hope that Sony feels dumb now. This looks great and I don't even want an Xbox One.

 

[Dr. Kaos]

Somehow it just dosent look fun to me

It seems to get everything right at the right place but...
dont know what´s the problem is, but i feel its another game ill be completely fine not playing

Do you have an Xbone?
