It looks pretty but that trailer didn't make playing the game seem fun. Movement looks too prescribed and the weapons they showed were just skins on basic types of weapons despite the descriptions. The stuff near the end looked better so it might just be a bad trailer.

Dead Rising ala insane slightly comedic mayhem with a large group of monsters/undead things.

alright. i could see that. the weapons are also creative like the ratchet games but seemingly made out of random junk like dead rising. very cool.
 
Other than the refreshing colour palette, this doesn't excite me.

Which is a shame considering I've played and mostly loved every Insomniac game over the years.
 
Could be a fun game but lets not pretend its something revolutionary. It looks like a variation on the Ratchet & Clank game IMO.
 
I hope ms has some good stuff at e3. This game looks like a typical bland insomniac r&c game. Just not for me. It looks pretty, but does infamous ss, and ive already played through that and a ratchet and clank game before.

Was hoping it was more like the cg trailer and not as slow and bland as r&c. :/
 
Looks like a combination of Crackdown, inFamous and Ratchet. I like it a lot, this and TitanFall as well as Killer Instinct make me jealous of the Xbox One, in fact I think MS have done a better job when it comes to exclusives even though the games are not all internally developed. I prefer a game like this in comparison to something like The Order.
 
So, it's Ratchet and Clank with a So-Cal skin.

And...I'm perfectly fine with that. It totally looks like an Insomniac game. Actually, it's the first Xbone game that looks really interesting to me. Would like to see everything sped up just a bit though.
 
I feel like the game should be running twice as fast as it is. Grinding and movement in general just feel a tad slow.

But the game is way interesting. Definitely the first XB1 exclusive that catches my attention. If MS keeps this up I may be picking up a console sooner than I expected.

People are trying waaay too hard. What basic weapon shoots soda cans that spill and attract enemies or shoots roman candles or spawns helicopters with handguns? I'm not sure what basic weapons these were based off of.
 
Im a little late but damn Im pleasantly surprised just how good this game looks. And to those who say it looks boring....Im not sure we watched the same trailer. Anyway E3 is going to be so damned good this year.

Thats what i've wanted from Insomniac for awhile actually. Its like how people want a new survival horror game from Capcom, but not for them to stretch RE out longer than it needs, when you see they are running out of ideas.

Resistance was pretty promising, but fell off with 2 and 3. Even graphics wise, they just didnt seem as sharp as the first game.

Definitely agree with you there. Though I wonder if they consciously chose to slow down the grinding in order to make the gunplay work. I imagine it'd be pretty difficult to aim if you're whirring past the enemies.

That being said, it'd still be nice to have an option to go faster. Maybe just a button that you can hold down so you can get a boost when you're not engaging in combat or something.

Yeah, same here, especially since The Order will be a linear single player only game.
 
Looks silly and fun, that's a great direction for Insomniac. Love the environment play, with the rail grinding and other moves. Tough to tell how the gameplay will really work until we can see what the enemies can do to make the game tough, though. Whatever the vertical slice they show at E3 will be quite telling (most of this seems more like a demo playground than a "game" at the moment), but I like the direction quite a bit so far.

Well, they're right in a way that the weapons are just analogues of projectiles, flame throwers, lasers, grenade launchers, in the same way that Infamous used smoke for bullets.

But hell, Insomniac do the best weapons whether they're similar to regular guns or not.
 
well done insomniac. this game looks like loads of fun, I am glad the weapons were bombastic and out there. There needs to be more games like this, art style looks great and graphics look sweet.
I hope it sells well for them,,, I think the fact we are early in the generation games like this will do well.
bravo
 
Oh I think I remember this one. Didn't MSFT show this one a little while ago like a trailer? Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more updates.
 
Wow, holy shit. This game looks incredible. The perfect blend of action, speed and shooting. Great art design, great sense of movement and incredible graphics. Will definitely get an Xbox One for this!\

Can't believe anyone would say this looks "boring" or "ugly!"

It isn't a sound or even mediocre argument AGAINST a game. We can deduce everything we play down to the "it's just this with a different this" argument. I'd love to see the people who make this observation come up with an idea/weapon that can't be related to anything we've ever seen before.

I dont think he means it exactly the same but there are weapons in other games that works the same way. Just for example the monkey bomb shooting crossbow in CoD that attracts zombies etc.
 
Is this the next victim of massively, overinflated hype that we don't hear about 3 weeks after its release? The next Emperor's New Clothes? I really hope the media piranahs leave this game alone and let it shine with what merits it has, but I doubt it.

Looks like a decent Insomniac game. Which is all it looks like. That's not a bad thing, but its not going to reinvent any wheels.
 
Excellent trailer, just one more reason to get me closer to buying an Xbox One. Now seal the deal Microsoft and show me the goods at E3 :)
 
I love the art style. From the little they showed, the gameplay looks like a bit of a mix of Ratchet & Clank, Crackdown and Dead Rising. The grinding could do with being sped up a little bit but other than that it looked great.

I don't know exactly when I'll own an Xbox One but this will be one of the first games I buy. Also the boxart is glorious.
 
This looks suspiciously like Infamous. Like I swear some of those animations look nearly identical to Infamous animations.

Not really my type of thing honestly. Never liked Infamous. Pretty disappointed considering this was one XBO game that I was actually interested in.
