Haha, what does this even mean?

They apparently are painting this as a great exclusive game, yet they were not ashamed to go ahead with the silly looking characters, crazy gameplay and the cartoony colorful visuals of the game. They could have made the game with realistic greyish visuals, military tone and muscular smoking men to cater to the average player out there, but they did not.

Dudebros/Wannabe Grow Ups will not be interested in the game because it looks "childish" despite all the violence. Only the more "core" gamers will be interested in this, I think.

But thats only my humble opinion and I will not argue with someone if he thinks otherwise. It's okay.

I think this game will age very well too, because of the art style.

I'm going to assume you've played it to make that statement? I stand by what i said, this game will go the way of Fuse.

Of course I have not played it. By the same token, have you played it? I was implying that it looks fun, on top of everything else that is obviously in direct contrast to the likes of Fuse.

Time to buy an Xbone!

It's OK. We don't bite and like to play games together.

I would LOVE to play this game, but I can't justify a costly system with another yearly subscription rate on my fairly limited budget. If I could get most of the functionality of the system without XBL Gold, I would probably just go ahead and pick it up, but...yeah.

Everything about this game just screams fun. There's just no other way to describe it

Yeah I get it. If finances don't allow for it, you have to make a choice, but XBL Gold and PS Plus offers happen all the time, so I've never seen either as much of a barrier.
 
Man this looks awesome ! I shall get it when I get an Xbone.

And BTW what does he actually mean by "Next gen respawning" We're just gonna respawn in a different way each time we die ? that doesn't seem like something previous generations couldn't do.

Possibly. It just sounded like everyone was so sure that this is a Gears scenario, and not a Mass Effect.

The deal might be exactly like Mass Effect, but the EA Bioware buyout probably complicated things a lot. It seems Insomniac wants to stay independent, so I don't see a big publisher buying them out anytime soon.

Neeeeeiiigggh!!

No those MS policies are still fresh in my mind. Still can't believe the shit they tried to pull. SHAME!

Then no Sunset Overdrive for you. I'll make sure to play twice as much just for you.
 
So what else is IG doing then? Don't they have multiple studios/teams? It feels strange they are not doing anything for PS4 as they always were close to PS brand. I bet the Resistance franchise soured their relation with Sony.
 
Holy crap 37 pages already? I'm a massive Xbox fan and think this game looks good - but slightly surprised by the hype this is generating. Good, though. As someone who backed the "less popular" house in the console race, it's nice to see some positive coverage on all the media

Yeah, I may just get it at some point, because this and Quantum Break are both VERY intriguing to me and stuff I'd love to play. Maybe when the system price is low enough that XBL Gold isn't as much of a barrier to me.

Because not everybody has this massive platform bias. This isn't getting hype because it's an XB1 exclusive, it's getting hype because it's such an awesome looking game.

Rumor was they wanted more marketing/push for their games from Sony and weren't getting it, so they approached MS.
 
Looks pretty fun. I'd buy it if I was getting an XBone but I'm already planning on getting a WiiU and a PS4 this year. Can't really justify buying all three consoles for now.

It's actually kind of nice when you hold out on a console for a while, because then the library is awesome down the road. I'm really discovering that with the Vita I just got.

Does being purchased free a developer of prior contractual obligations? I'd have simply assumed they would be inherited by the purchasing company.

Hmm, I thought it was about the IP and who controls it. Insomniac said that controlling the IP to this one was a big deal for them, and Sony doesn't fund any games where they don't own the IP. Presumably because of the whole Crash/Spyro incident (Both now owned by Acitivision, Crash dormant for years, Spyro making millions in Skylanders money for Activision). Microsoft let them keep the IP and gave them independence, so that's who they sided with.

A little disappointed since I love Insomniac, but I want them to make their vision.
 
I want really want this game to sell, so MS can develop and publish more games like this.
I want the MS that publish Azurik(game was so bad) back.
 
probably the first game that came out for xbox that a bunch of people are actually saying they'd get an xbox for it, hope MS is taking note, just let the games do the talking.

There's plenty of time left for everyone to decide that it's nothing special, and that it is all manufactured hype though. Especially if any of the press get excited too.

Plus saying "I wish I had an Xbox One for this" and actually getting an Xbox One for this are very different things... as I'm sure Bayonetta 2 is going to show us.
 
I'm not sold on it. I'm going to need some actual mission gameplay than this trailer.
By the way I'm very surprised by the hype.
 
I will getting the Day One Edition

I feel like a kid in a candy shop!!!

Sunset Overdrive Ignites the Awesomepocalypse with Day One Edition Details and First Gameplay Video


Microsoft and Insomniac Games unveiled the first look at the world, story and gameplay of “Sunset Overdrive” today through an action-packed video. Alongside the video, Microsoft announced the first details for the Day One Edition of the game.

Traverse Sunset City in Style with Exclusive Day One Edition Outfits and Weapons

With an exclusive gun, melee weapon and in-game character outfit, the “Sunset Overdrive” Day One Edition is the ultimate package for fans who want to fight through the end of days with flair. The “Sunset Overdrive” Day One Edition features the following exclusive digital content that you won’t find anywhere else:

•“Nothin’ but the Hits” gun: An overcharged version of the High Fidelity gun that launches limited edition, priceless, multi-colored vinyls that do increased damage.

•“It’s Me! Fizzie!” outfit: Fizzie is more popular than you because he has a great marketing budget. So, why not dress up as him and get in on some of that fame?

•“Hardcore! Hammer”: You ponder buying the Day One Edition of “Sunset Overdrive.” A spot check reveals that if you do, you can equip a mighty hammer made from a bat and spiked dumb-bells. You buy the Day One Edition of “Sunset Overdrive.”
 
I think it made a lot of sense Insomniac went with MS. I think they had a fresh pitch and too much baggage in some ways on PS consoles. I felt like they failed to differentiate themselves in the way that ND did last gen. I think they may get more attention by going with MS than they would have done if they stuck with Sony or were multiplat.
 
Game looks as good as Insomniac are making it out to be, very nice looking.

How I wish this wasn't Xbox One exclusive, now I'm having to consider buying one. Damn. (That being said, the idea of an Orange LE Xbone is lovely)

What happened with Mass effect will probably the reason why this will be like Gears. I'm sure MS regret Mass Effect deal so I don't think they'll repeat that deal again.

titanfall won best of e3 and was a fps with multiplayer. This is a non-multiplayer cartoony game. This game isn't like gears of war. It isn't like halo. I don't think this game has a chance of selling 4 million or more
