Sunset Overdrive

Gav

Hey guys,

Did a search for this, but couldn't find anything - sad. The new game that I am working on here at Insomniac Games has had it's press embargo lifted, and now you can finally read (and see) what it's all about. Gameplay footage is coming soon along with a bunch of other goodies.

This is an insanely fun project to work on, and way up many of my different alleys. Hope you all like it:

neogaf is eating this up like candy, so that's probably a good sign

looks like if insomniac did infamous (aka really good). if I had to call out anything the animations seem a little clunky during transitions but it's not that bad. cannot wait to see some other characters

mats effect

Can't wait to see some gameplay footage from this, once of the next gen titles I am looking forward to the most.

That looks stunning. Such a cool style.

Not sure about the character art though, their lead might need a talking to....

CordellC

"next-gen respawning" kinda guaranteed my purchase

RogelioD

That looks fantastic!!! Big props! (Pun intended!)

Look great Gav, the art really appeals, will be picking this up for sure. Gameplay looks bonkers!

ambershee

I'm getting a very F2P vibe with this one?

Autocon

Looks gorgeous! Back to the Insomniac art style of beautiful, stylized and colorful that I have always loved.

Really really hate its Xbone only

cmgillett

Thanks for sharing Gavin, I've been super eager to see what you guys are up to over there! Can't wait to see the footage. Awesome stuff so far!

I remember the announcement from E3 last year, it look really fresh and fun. Hopefully it may see the light of day on the PC at some later date.
Sadly I’m not getting that sense of speed in that gameplay trailer that I got from the announcement trailer but it’s a while till release so that may change.
Good luck with it Gav.

Amazing art style, and even more amazing name. Has such a Dreamcast feel

skylebones

Yeah that pretty much looks amazing!

ErichWK

I am so happy Insomniac went forward with this project. I remember i BEGGED to extend my contract so I can work on Sunset Overdrive. SO STOKED.

BARDLER

It is like a combination of Ratchet and Clank with Dead Rising love it!

This exactly! Really has that Jet Set Radio vibe going on.

JohnnyRaptor

Oh man this looks so cool! Makes me itch to play it!!!

Jeff Parrott

Grats for showing more on this. Excited to play this one.

kernersvillan

This game looks like an absolute blast. It will give me a reason to dust off the ol Xbone. Congrats to Insomniac guys, it looks great!

plunq

Hey Gav, it's Joel.

I think everything looks great! Can't wait to get my hands on the game

PogoP

Looks amazing, but XB1 only? Man that's lame.

fearian

getting a real nice Tekkonkinkreet vibe from the environments, very cool!

Steve Schulze

Looks like a lot of fun. Really liking the art style too.

Is that exclusivity likely to be a permanent thing?

HitmonInfinity

Looks pretty fun. I played Crackdown for months and months back in the day. Now to buy an xbox...

/anty/

Jet Set Zomby Radio ))) Hopefully there will be playable character on rollerblades )

Box Art

I like how the box art seems to capture the action of the game into a single picture so it actually looks unique compared to many games which just have some random guy holding a gun staring out into the sunset.

CordellC

oh my god yessss. I was kinda disappointed when they said the previous key art wasn't going on the box, but this is so cool. glad it's not some in-game screenshot

Just saw this video and it was pretty funny to see a reference to that whole female assassin thing in AC:U. The traps in the game look cool also, reminds me of Orcs Must Die.

almighty_gir

this is the one game that makes me want an xbone.

like, to me it's literally worth shelling out £400.

wtf am i doing with my life?!

seth.

dont worry Lee I feel exactly the same way.

hasn't most of insomniacs games been colorful and fun? aha.

Torch

Sounds like a great prospect, just a shame about the sucky character art.

Jk, looks awesome Gav, much love

ikblue

looking forward to an art dump about that game looks really cool, great art style !

Makkon

Yeah, there's better be an art dump. I want to see ALL the breakdowns!
Picking this up on tuesday, looking forward to it!

Likewise, still happy with picking up a PS4 but Sunset looks so good

Shrike

Yea sunset is nice, played it at gamescom and got a cap as I was first in the match haha

Was a little overwhelming at start with all the controls but kinda normal if you just jump in for a match, if I get a X1 ill get it too

Got my copy! Add me if you wanna play some chaos squad this week. Gamertag is Yungimoto

As an animator, the one thing I like about this game are the ingame animations!

Especially the respawn ones.

Makkon

hhnnnggg so good. This game is a blast when you get a hang of the controls. It so so amazingly colorful without being totally jarring. The flow of the animations makes getting around so juicey. This is going to keep me up way too late.
