Official Sunset Overdrive Trailer

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?

They're a game developer, not a platform supporter.
 
i just noticed that the front tires of the van are floating and it drives right through a telephone pole

Yeah, I noticed this earlier. Quite funny that they decided to release that in the actual trailer.


At least it shows that it's definitely in game footage.
 
Yeah, very douche bag like of them to say that... now i hope Sony ends their relationship with them and give Ratchet to someone else who got the chops.

Game looks OK, but i ain't buying an XBO ever.

And honestly i don't see this selling good, it's not dudebro enough. The box art alone (cool as it is) will keep mainstream buyers away.

How's that salt intake?

Maybe if it bombs enough there will be more shit Ratchet and Clank titles, for the sake of 'loyalty'.
 
This game looks like Ratchet and Clank mixed with Saint's Row and crack. I need it.
The more I see it the more its exactly this :)

Ratchet third person and open vistas (though even more open here), bouncy action shootiness, grinding and fast movement, cartoonish powers, but with Saints Row levels of shit-is-off-the-hook and do-it-because-its-fun-stupid for good measure.

I hope they have time to polish this puppy up to a nice shine.
 
Looks great. Don't own an Xbox One, and probably won't be getting one, but if I had one I would probably buy this.
 
Man, the wide FOV like in this game should be used more often in games. It makes controlling the character seem easier than the claustrophobic FOV we are used to seeing in games these days.
 
so glad to see the positive reaction this game is getting, despite it being an xbox one game. Although, places like N4G are a nightmare still. People already calling it trash..just because of its console. I have even seen one person say it looks like a F2P infamous game...which I thought was hilariously dumb

I never liked Insomniac but dammmm this game looks awesome!!!! Is there a release date???

I liked Insomniac but they were mediocre last gen. This is a true return to form and then some. I see them going places this gen.

Any "fan" who who liked insomniac because of their console exclusivity was never a fan in the first place.

A fun looking game is a fun looking game, no matter the console. It isn't like GAF is Sonyland like this post suggests.

What is this suppose to mean?

People on GAF love good games, no matter the console.

Am I tue only one that notices that the van is an actual cutout and not a "real" vehicle? Pay attention to the front of the van

That's annoying the resolution framerate war drives me nuts, graphics whores should get a PC and avoid consoles
 
Oh my god that looks awesome. Great to see insomniac making a game like this again.

Argh, this my next gen console decision just got a lot harder, this looks like it could be a great reason to get an xbone.
 
Hollyshit I am sold.
All this trailer and info before E3. What you hiding for E3 Microsoft :)

Yeah I only played their games from last gen what else did they make??
 
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.

To each his own, I guess. I thought I remember you from the inFamous thread saying how much you enjoyed the game. That game does nothing for me, as I strongly disliked the last game in the series. It doesn't mean that it's a bad game, just not for me. And it sounds like SO just isn't for you.

They really, really weren't.


Ratchet and Clank Future (all four games) were fantastic, and so were Resistance 1 and 3.

I havent been actively on here in the last couple of months(other than for infamous paper trail)...but it definitely wasnt like that the last time i was here. That is good though

Dat tag
 
This is very pretty, but for the life of me I can't figure out what they're going for with those nearly constant motion lines. This effect screams "I'M A MOTHER-LOVING SPEED DEMON, WOO, GOTTA GO FAST", but the player never moves particularly fast, so it only makes the game seem slower. Weird.
