Sorry, I wasn't finished with my post before I hit enter but yeah, that's what I was saying.

Yeah, now that you mention it, there were certain disconnect in some of the movements and the overall change in placement were quite awkward.

But I like to think of it that, The problems are noticeable just because its in the middle of development.

 

[Vocal Orgasmizzle]

Game looks great, Day 1 and all that. Despite Insomniac's meddling efforts on the PS3, i can't help but be excited for this.

Also, owning all the next gen consoles rules. It's great to not be a warrior for my favorite toy on the internet.

 

[ron_bato]

I dig a lot of the concepts here. The art style, traversal, creative weapons, some cool abilities, and fun, goofy dialogue and characters. This game has a lot of potential, and it's good to see (at least based on impressions) that Insomniac looks to be back on form after Fuse. Looking forward to seeing more of this game.

 

[yukianderson]

720p/30fps confirmed

Looks Fun.

Who confirmed that?

 

[Bsigg12]

The boxart looks gorgeous.

Have you seen the orange mockup in the other thread?

Same with me. I always liked Insomniac's games and when that person talking during the video mentioned that Sunset is a culmination of all their work over the last 20 years put a smile on my face. Love when a company has great passion for what they do.

Have you seen the orange mockup in the other thread?

Yupp. Just now and it looks even better. This needs to happen.

 

[PhatSaqs]

I and many others literally don't have $900 (plus the games, plus the subscriptions) to spend on video games. Priceless or not (they're not and I feel bad for you if you think that they are) I can't buy both consoles.

Well thats sad. Personally, anything that brings me joy is priceless. I feel bad for you if you think otherwise or dont have the means to live life this way

 

[Honey Bunny]

Smart move releasing this footage now

 

[ACIDTITAN]

Is this official? Just curious as it looks really clean from the video, but it is kind of hard to tell what resolution the game is running at. A game like this needs to have a smooth frame rate.

No its not official just going by other Openworld games on XB1'DR3' etc

Yes i know launch title but lets be honest it's gonna be 720p/30fps with all those effects and npcs going on.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Have you seen the orange mockup in the other thread?

I think the orange one just screams overdone. The contrast with the green looks so much better.

 

[WoolyNinja]

Game looks like an evolution of Ratchet & Clank mixed with a little bit of Resistance (the enemies remind me of the chimera in resistance). Could be good. If this turns out to be a return to the greatness that was Insomniac Games on the PS2 then I'll be very excited for them and for gamers in general.

 

[SmackAttack]

I love just about everything in that trailer. The art direction, the mobility, the action, the weapons, just so much to like here. Looks like crazy good fun. Hope to see some co-op soon. Do we know if there's multiplayer?

 

[Warablo]

I like the colors and world. Not sure if the gameplay will be that fun though.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

I think the orange one just screams overdone. The contrast with the green looks so much better.

Yup, I think so too.

 

[someday]

When is this suppose to release? I've been waiting for a single player game that justifies an Xbone and this is looking good.

 

[Bsigg12]

I think the orange one just screams overdone. The contrast with the green looks so much better.

I wouldn't mind a really limited run with the orange box. Maybe in a collectors edition with a Fizzie plushie.

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

I want to like this so much...but I can't muster more than a "meh".

 

[Ol No Bones]

Same here.

jstevenson already said in a previous post that this is an older build and the animations have been polished up in the newer one so there's no reason not to be optimistic.

 

[Blastoise]

Wow. I'm getting huge Second Son vibes, as well as the obvious Dead Rising ones.

Looks pretty awesome as well.

 

[Mr. F]

I like the colors and world. Not sure if the gameplay will be that fun though.

More or less where I landed. Was digging everything up until actual gameplay, traversal looks fun but hordes/gunplay looks kind of like the kind of derivative gameplay they were mocking earlier in the trailer with the hiding behind crates jab.

Not getting it either way as I don't have an XBO but interested to see if there's more to it/how the co-op factors in.

 

[Blargonaut]

it's a vanity amp, you can use a different version or not use one at all

Oh good, if it's a totally optional equip then I'm cool with it.

 

[Regret Upon Approval]

Looking pretty nice.

I'm liking the mobility, I hope that becomes a big thing this generation.

I am really like this (the world will change according to player input):

Insomniac has been very open about the fact that they want player input on how the game evolves after it launches. They have planned on creating polls for players to vote on changes that may or may not come to Sunset Overdrive. They also are going to be relying heavily on community feedback as well as a strong base to begin with.

Allowing players the ability to communicate directly with developers on what they do and do not like about the game is a brilliant plan on paper and in action.

 

[Vhagar]

Looks great. Had doubts about Insomniac given their recent output but I think they just put to bed those doubts.

It's nice when a developer with a pedigree like Insomniac lands a publisher who will let them see their vision through rather than focus group testing the living hell out of it.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I didn't know this game even existed before the watching this trailer, but from what i was seeing I loved the artsyle and I was saying to myself "this is how that insomniac game needed to look"
Then the voice tells is an insomniac game.

Well job guys, THIS game looks great.

May I say Im in total love with the respawning idea.

Eh, I'm less excited about that.

Many people have priorities and responsibilities othen then 'just games'. So buying two expensive consoles at once can be.. selfish among other things for those.

Congrats if that's something of no concern for you.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

720p/30fps confirmed

Looks Fun.

[balohna]

It actually looks pretty similar to Ratchet and Clank, aside from obvious setting and art style differences. Also seems less linear, and with everything turned up to 11.

Life is too short not to be a little selfish.

One of the most exciting things about it if they follow through.

Lovely. Good to Know, I'll just trust Insomniac to deliver a lively cartoony world. They certainly have the precedent an dthe experience to make a fun and enjoyable open-world game.

Now, if only I owned an XBOX1

Spoiler

Do you have one? I wonder if anyone from the Footy-gaf have one

 

[LiamR]

troll

Yep. DR3 is a pretty poor representation of the Xbox One from a technical standpoint. It isn't impressive.

 

[Proponent]

Life is too short not to be a little selfish.

Thanks

Hey, cheers !

This game looks, and I know is going to be absolutely fantastic and amazing. I can't wait to par take.

 

[rakkadakka]

I get a Zombie Ate my Neighbors vibe from this. at least from the sense of humor side.

 

[Freeman]

The way he moves around is strangely stiff, it doesn't feel like a natural transition at all, its something you have to play to know for sure but based on the video it looks bad.

Plan on getting a playstation somewhere down the line but I'm too much of a Halo fanboy not to get the new xbox first :lol

They said this is an earlier build and the animations will be smoother for launch.

 

[Slime]

Looks amazing. From a tone and visual standpoint, this is like the most refreshing AAA game in forever. Makes me excited to get an Xbox One eventually. And I will get one, because this looks brilliant.

Insomniac still has it.

My brother called it "Mutants Ate my Neighbors."

He hasn't really played games seriously since Zombies came out and now he's asking me if I want to split on an Xbox One so he can play this. Pretty amazing because he kind of loathes modern games in general.

 

[Heroman]

Like everything about it expect for the game play. It look kind of boring.

 

[ACIDTITAN]

Okay then just in general its going to be 720p/30fps

Game looks great
It's just the first thing that popped into my head with all the effects Openworld and npcs going on i ant no troll I'm a realist.

Thanks.


Hoping the White XB1 Game bundle is true.

Yeah, now if MS could only be nice, and help out with some amazing price drops and bundles, to make it all a reality much sooner, it would greatly be appreciated.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Looks visually pleasing. Love the random and unique weaponry/abilities. That said, the gameplay looked kind of slow and boring to me.

 

[El_Chino]

720p/30fps confirmed

Looks Fun.

Wut?

 

[Proponent]

The game looks fucking awesome.

The End.

 

[fluffydelusions]

This game looks pretty fun. Also looking to have nearly 100 active zombies on screen
