Wow, this looks real good. Only thing I didn't like was when the commentator described the game as "mature".

And I knew that there were gonna be people claiming that this game is ripping off Infamous, as if Sony invented fast movement and powers.

You know what... no, fuck this "You guys, too easy." BS. Posts like yours do not help the topic at all, and are just as bad as if you were serious. You're not some master Poker player, your simple making a shit drive-by post, that is 100% indistinguishable from any other drive-by post, and that happens with no effort whatsoever. I could walk into any thread, post the equivalent of your post and that wouldn't suddenly be an accomplishment to get a response from people saying that I'm being stupid... because I would be. We shouldn't be expected to sit by ignoring all the ridiculous posts people shit up a thread with, or be expected to sift through someone's post history (which actually wouldn't help in this particular case btw) in order to determine they're joking.

"LOL! I was only joking" is a poor excuse for making shit posts.



Yes, it is lame.. and I don't know why you're doing it, if you know yourself how lame it is.

It does look great. I have no idea where the Infamous stuff is coming from. I have Second Son and when I saw the new footage of SO, Infamous did not enter my mind at all. To me it looks like a cross between Dead Rising/Jet Set Radio with a sprinkle of Crackdown thrown in.

Game looks awesome. Thank you Insomniac for developing something that looks fun and a bit different.

So much this! I have been a bit down on Insomniac of late, as their last couple of games just weren't resonating with me, but this seems amazing.

Sunset Overdrive looks like it could be the perfect game for me. Can't wait to learn more about it. :)

Were there actually people saying that the game was ripping off anything? I saw, and mentioned myself, that it reminded some of infamous. For me I wasn't even talking about Second Son but mainly Infamous 1 and 2's wire grind, because of the stance, 3rd person shooting while grinding, and it being human. The wire dismount also reminded me of it in certain places. Some seem to suggest those mentioning Infamous are crazy and are fanboys, but no one mentioning Crackdown, Crazy Taxi (I don't get this one), JSR, to some extent Dead Rising, and such aren't even questioned.

What's so wrong about people being reminded of Infamous? Have the ones that don't agree played Infamous 1 and 2? Also there's a lot of parkour in Infamous games, no wall horizontal running from what I remember though.
 
The guys working at Insomniac must be pleased by the positivity to the footage, must be a nerving time leading up to showing your game for the first time
 
Lol I like how the minions sort of behave like people dressed in rubber monster suits. Love the animations on them.

One of the respawns has to have the character and a mutated with the mask off in a waiting room (elevator music is playing). Respawn is labeled on the door, and the character's number is called as next. Walk through the door into the world, the glowing door close after you pass through it. The character acts as if he was almost sliced in half by the closing.
 
I was cautiously optimistic after seeing the teaser trailer at E3 but after seeing the trailer it's easily my most anticipated game of 2013. I need this game in my veins.
 
This looks awesome, I am really jealous of X1 owners because of this. I knew insomniac was capable of really great things, FUSE was a lapse in judgement perhaps.

It did have different people at the head of production from this game.

These are the Resistance 3 guys. Not R2.
 
I remember going to Best Buy with my dad when the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube era had just begun. I wandered over to the Xbox kiosk and saw this amazing game called Jet Set Radio Future. I seriously just stood around playing that damn demo for an hour and was pretty upset when my dad was done shopping around. I was so excited to play that game. It wasn't only stylish, it was genuinely a blast to play. Hell, it was fun to just watch.

I haven't felt that way about a game for a very long time, but Sunset Overdrive is getting me close. If the gameplay is as good as the visuals, I will gladly buy an Xbox One.

Yep, I don't own an Xbone (yet) but this will be the game that makes me finally break down and buy one. It looks excellent and like it would be a ton of fun to play. I don't know what their contract with Microsoft is like but it looks like the beginning of a nice franchise for them.
 
Insomniac hit something of a rut during their PS3 years IMO.. Resistance: Fall of Man and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction were great but it just seemed like they were rushing out sequels to those games way too quickly and I'm not too sure why they did that. And of course there's the whole Overstrike/Fuse debacle. I'm not sure why Insomniac felt the need to do this while their contemporary studio, Naughty Dog, seemed able to take their time with their games and was able to bring out another new IP late in the gen.

Regardless of all that, I'm happy that they appear to have set a reset button and for now, their relationship with MS looks like it could be a good thing. This game looks pretty damn great. I just hope MS doesn't gut their first/second party game production early on like they did with the 360 leaving these guys high and dry.

If I were to speculate, it's probably first refusal for an certain number of i) future Sunset Overdrive or, less likely, ii) Insomniac games. Whilst IP retention is held by Insomniac, publishing rights are not. Pretty common when publisher provides a large amount of funding and is exactly the same as the EA Partners agreement for Titanfall.

I guess we can assume this game is why Overstrike was renamed, right?
 
Looks amazing. Love the colors and artstyle. Seems more fun than Infamous Second Son but it looks to be "just" that, an Infamous clone. I'm not a fan of those games, fighting against hordes of ennemies is too mindless for me. Great to see what this gen can finally pull off graphically though.

I don't get this. How so?
 
If this thread is any indication of how E3 will go, we're going to need to go to the mattresses.

Michael: How bad do you think it E3 is gonna be?
Clemenza: Pretty goddam bad. Probably all the other Fanboys will line up against us. That's all right. These things gotta happen every year or so. Helps to get rid of the bad blood and drive-by posters. Been 11 months since the last one. You know, you gotta stop these wars at the beginning. Like they should have stopped the ps3 version of Bayonetta or RROD. They should never let those things happen.

can't wait
 
This game is a Infamous shameless rip-off. A game in which you control a dude jumping through a city and killing the bad dudes using superpowers... ffs Insomniac and MS, stop trying to copy everything Sony does. Also, you probably will have to use a gamepad (just like ISS) and to plug your console to a TV (something that reminds me to... ISS!) to play it. Awful.

Nothing wrong at all, I was reminded of Infamous myself, especially with the grinding and shooting. But some go too far and claim that that Insomniac are trying to cash in on the infamous hype.

Yeah, it's an Infamous clone alright. I honestly can't tell the two apart.
 
Wow. This game was off my radar until the reveal. Looks beautiful. Gives me olds school gaming vibes.
will we get more info before E3? I am interested in MP

And some posts here....I wish there was a way to add to ignore list in mobile neoGAF.
Could someone with Javascript skill create a bookmarklet for that?

I remember when I got Infamous and all I could think was how it paled in comparison to the fun I'd had with Crackdown. Crackdown had those insane unlimited draw distances and climbing and orb-collecting was the fucking shit. Loved the original Crackdown so much.

Actually considered going out and getting a copy yesterday because they probably run for less than a dollar now.

Edit - Brand new for less than $10 from Amazon
