Sunset Overdrive website - say hello to Fizzie! (Insomniac/MS/XB1)

Based off a teaser site and the original reveal trailer. Boring looking game, boring looking environments (even if just CGI), boring graphics. Not a scratch on their earlier stuff.

We'll have to agree to disagree :P

Based on character art alone, they've fallen quite far. Looks like they changed up everything about the initial reveal.

In what way?
 
People can be such downers here. It's clear that a not-inconsequential portion of posters enjoy hate-parties online more than they enjoy the prospect of seeing a new game.

I'm all for bashing bad products, but the game hasn't even really been shown yet, and one of the developers is posting in the thread dropping new details about it. And all you guys can do is just vomit bullshit?

The character designs look like Knack, or Pixar style stuff, or Team Fortress. So, if you like any of those, I don't see the big deal. Personally, I actually don't like any of those (including pretty much all Pixar characters). Trash these character designs only if you think Valve is awful as well, because to me they look pretty damn similar.

I just want to say that even though I like the designs of this game, this is not really a good argument in the alternative. People can like Pixar designs, but think the designs of Knack or Team Fortress are not attractive, for example. Similarly, they can hate the design of this game and love the design of Team Fortress. There are actually many hundreds of nuanced differences between the styles, and so it's not very constructive to try to say "if you like these, you almost certainly therefore like those"
 
I just love how people are so quick to talk negatively about a game when a few unclear shots have been released that don't even have any "proper colors" whatsoever. Seriously, are gamers that dense nowadays?

Let's just wait for proper screenshots that have been taken from actual gameplay?

The characters don't look all that bad to me + I have a feeling that you really need so see them in motion to properly appreciate them.
 
You're also very wrong.

Why? ntkrnl said that the plot in Sunset Overdrive would be about some new product ('Overdrive XT') released by a megacorporation, that turned people into monsters.

Well we've got the product name right ('Overdrive XT') and the megacorporation ('FizzCo').

They're not literally identical, but it's a pretty common western comic style these days. Most people on here like something very close to this. People are going out of their way to trash it because it's the cool thing to do, because of Fuse, or because the game is an exclusive for a system they don't own. It's not because of nuanced differences. The characters are probably not even going to be the central aspect of this game.

It's just painful to read this thread honestly. I'm not under any illusions that my post is going to change anything though.

A lot of people are reaching, for what I can only imagine is Insomniac "betraying" Sony and making a Microsoft exclusive. I can't think of anything else, the characters fit the aesthetics perfectly, wth do they want them to look like? Thus, they're just nitpicking.

Um that wasn't directed at you?! It was about the guy saying the changed all the aesthetics and art style of the game from the first trailer.

you know the drink was the E3 Teaser almost 12 months ago, right?
 
Wendy looks weirdly out of place. Like they forgot to give her the caricature treatment. Otherwise i don't see the issues people seem to have with seeing so little.
 
this is fucking painful

Yeah, the #ShouldaDrankOverCharge thing is getting annoying, even if that's the point, that he's a advertisement bot for Overcharge.

Is it a real account or did someone jump on it a make it outside of Sunset Overdrive people?

Edit: Oh it's real. Should get the guy that did fake Kaz to do this. I like the idea, maybe lighten up on the #SDOC or drink OC too often. I don't know much about Carl's Jr though.

Given the E3 trailer, the preview pic edge gave for the game and the contents of the drink.

it seems the last part of your (and his) post might have some merit as well.
 
If the game still looks like these shots, then cool.

But if it doesn't, and those weird, extremely dull Fuse-inspired characters on the official site are any indication of the changes they've made, then lol Insomniac. They look really out of place.

that bottom picture looks like Forest Griffin

The people we've seen are the CEO's and higher ups of fizzco. Of course they aren't going to have crazy face tattoos.

The three characters on the right definitely seem more in line with what we've seen previously, but it's hard to judge based on small head shots. And obviously there will be a difference between CGI and in game models.
 
Just GIS "Carl's Jr. Commercial". Provided you're not at work, that is.


I thought SexBurger was really lazy humor, but I had never seen that ad. I don't think you could even start to lampoon that without being obvious and over the top.
 

If The Ultimate Warrior style facepaint isn't in the retail game, especially after his sudden death, I will be upset. I also want to make my dude look like a member of the Legion of Doom and Big Poppa Pump, Scott Steiner. Ya hear me Ted Price and Insomniac guy that posted in this thread before? I need that.
