1 - GIANT LASER EYED FIZZIE. Shit yes!
2 - Insomniac says: "We've really begun to understand what we love the most. I think that's reflected in the tone of Sunset Overdrive"
3 - graphics looks BEAUTIFUL - very colourful and vibrant... even more so than PVZ.
4 - City is giving me a crackdown X Jet set radio vibe
5 - (edit) I hereby name this game Sunset Wowverdrive
EDIT 3: Some quotes, courtesy of u/dodmaster
"Sunset Overdrive mixes platforming and shooting throughout, and places equal weight on both skills"
"We wanted to take the shooter genre away from cowering behind cover. You'll be rewarded for jumping over that cover and taking the fight to the enemy"
And its this that makes Sunset Overdrive feel new. If a trend is emerging at all from the new console generation, it's that wall running is the new cover, and attack is the new defence. We've spent the best part of a decade lurking behind bullet-chipped masonry. For Insomniac, it's time to come out into the sun.
another open world action game where you play a white male douche, no thanks
I'm getting Crackdown 2 vibes from all the mutants looking the same

made it 90 seconds before the 'tude got too much.

The only interesting gameplay part was when it showed him getting all Jet Set/Sonic and riding a rail while shooting at a boss.
Insomniacs last few games have been so so. But now that they are on Xbox suddenly this is a hyped game ???
Kind of feels like manufactured hype again, like with Titanfall.
I think this game looks kind of cool, I also enjoyed Resistance 1 and Ratchet. Just really surprised at the expectations people have suddenly. Same goes for Bungie really. I didn't like Halo 3 and I don't think they are that great, they mainly were big cause of Halo 1 IMHO but now that they are multiplat Sony peeps hype Destiny up. Kind of weird.
Not saying anyone here is a fanboy cept MCD.
To be fair to Lager, I do agree that the hype for a lot of next Gen titles is manufactured or desperate. Sunset for instance looks okay, but I'm not understanding the "hype train" stuff as shown on the last page.
I'm not measuring a hype train, I'm just noticing the amount of people who said they're hyped and are very excited for the title.
These guys sort of lost me around Resistance 2. But then the last Ratchet game was rad so whatever. Never played that Fuse game.

I think they lost themselves. Fuse is symbolic of that. It was trying to be dark and grim and semi-realistic. It was a very mediocre game. That's not what these guys do very well. At least this looks more in line with their strengths.
Target has free 3 month XBL with purchase. Better than nothing I suppose
Resistance 3 was a good game.
looks really fun (except for the tower defense part)
Just got a Wii U and now I'm seriously considering getting a One for this game. Wrath loving it isn't helping either. :-\
If you end up deciding to, don't do it till November the 8th. Best buy has a bundle with this that's $350 and comes with free 1 year of Xbox Live Gold.
How the fuck is not a racing game?
This bundle is officially $350 everywhere now. Where did you hear about the free year of Live for next weekend?Just got a Wii U and now I'm seriously considering getting a One for this game. Wrath loving it isn't helping either. :-\

This is like Dead Rising Crackdown Jet Set
There are two phrases that turn me off on games if they're uttered.
One is RTS.
The other is Tower Defense.
The Tower Defense in this game, if that's what you want to call it, is pretty forgiving. It's really more of a horde mode and you have plenty of ammo and AOE weapons to protect your position. They can do quite a bit of damage and you still pass the mission.
Is it worth buying collectable maps or is it a waste of money? I'd rather divert those funds to actual guns and I think I heard that currency can be limited in this game.
I misheard how much overcharge you get from the weekly challenges, but ah well more gameplay for me. I've collected everything and am 19 achievements away from a 100%
32 hours of game time so far. I really need to try multiplayer at some point. So I can finally buy all the weapons with the overcharge from that, got two weapons left. Bought all the clothes and amps, got gold medals in all the challenges, collected everything and basically did everything single player can give me. Took me 30 hours of gameplay with some dicking around, so not bad, especially since I'm still not tired of it.
Easily my game of the year. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who has an XBone. I really hope this sells, I want more of this. Hopefully the bundle and new price make it a big seller.
feels good to rule over people who have lives and have played less than me.
No, you seem already convinced.Curious... what direction do you think I'm convinced in?

damn is it? i am a sucker for buying all maps first.

I stated the question as neutral as possible b/c I want honest opinions on whether or not those that are playing it think it is worth buying the system for.
There almost definitely will be games in the future that I will want to play, which is what was getting me.No, you seem already convinced.Curious... what direction do you think I'm convinced in?

Its not worth spending $300+ to play one videogame -- perhaps there are other games down the road, but if its going to sit there collecting dust.........
and mups, it's not just you. wait a bit more before doing that challenge. what I did was shoots the mini chopper guns, they for some reason, counted as bounce kills lol.Good to know. yeah I tried another Buck's challenge last night and ran into the same issue. After retrying the challenge like ten times it started to work for whatever reason.
Yup... makes the decision I made a little easier to deal with.
This is now the second time it's been "mistakenly" shown as coming on PC.
The game hitting PC is imminent. I'll wait.

I just think a lot of games are designed incorrectly. Most games nowadays feel like the team had a good idea but its almost like how can we slip this good idea into our very traditional x genre game enough times so that it feels worthwhile. Instead of completely designing your game around the good idea. Sunset Overdrive is completely designed around the good ideas they have. It's not a game where the good idea is put in level 2 and then maybe reappears in level 5. The whole fucking game is designed around the fun of the good idea. And you feel it when you play it.
Me and sarslip are not the only people who post itt anymore :rejoiceOnce I get some more games out of the way, I'm going to get back into it, so don't worry!
I thought the MS store had it for 30 bucks black Friday.

Why? Is the game just not doing well enough? :(
There's a secret collectible in this game, it's stick figure graffiti. Press Y on them, there's 12 and here's a map to find them:
