Unfinished: Sunset Overdrive 05/15/2014

Sad to say but this looks really boring, at least from this footage.

This kinda seems like a slow Jet Set Radio mixed with State of Emergency. It looks pretty and smooth playing, but other than that I don't see much to get excited about...so far.

I couldn't help but feel the same way. I'll need to see more of it, in order to know if it holds true, though. So far, it doesn't look so great.

Very Crackdown.

Infamous much? Doesn't seem remotely unique.

I never owned a PS2 so I missed out on what R&C was all about but considering Brad is in an industry where he plays games for a living, I'm surprised he's missed out on so much.

Here's a crazy idea, if your game is so unfinished is looks "very boring," don't show us a 20 minute fucking video of you doing almost literally nothing but slowly grinding with no music as you shoot weapons that wouldn't have been exciting 15 years ago.

To be fair, it's more like 4 minutes of footage repeated 5 times. Insomniac can't be held responsible for Giantbomb wanting a 20 minute feature out of the B-roll they've given them.

Something about this game just isn't clicking for me. It just seems so shallow and aimless. Something is missing... but I'm not a game designer, so I can't say for sure. Maybe it's just early.

Call me petty if you want but I hope this game fails, Insomniac left Sony because they "Wanted to focus on Multi-platform game development" and didn't want their games tied to one specific platform, which apparently means making one shitty co-op 3rd person shooter no one liked, then following that up with an Xbox One exclusive. Just like Square-Enix I'm sure if you listening closely enough you can hear then lovingly smelling the money Microsoft paid them off with(this is neither a 1st party exclusive or a 2nd party collaboration with Microsoft, there's literally no reason for it's exclusivity).

I can't believe I'm seeing so much negativity in the comments. This looks awesome. Love how colourful it is and that customization stuff. The sense of speed probably isn't there because try shooting dudes when you're blazing across the screen, nobody would shoot while grinding. Glad Insomniac went back to being on track(pun intended) after Fuse.

Edit: Now I know why dev and publishers never want to show people any of their game until it's almost done. People don't seem to quite understand how a game gets made. No matter how many times "this is UNIFINISHED" was said, people's reaction: "Looks very bland and hate the sound effects, seems boring to me". NO SHIT.

This seems boring to me.

But then again I was never drawn into stuff like Dead Rising either, and didn't care for Just Cause 2, it all feels like a lifeless and pointless show.

When I saw this game pop up for the first time it looked really interesting. Now after seeing the gameplay it looks like something I'd probably get bored of really quickly. It looks like they've shown everything they have to offer, which amounts to a mix of JSR, Bioshock Infinite and Dead Rising but with fewer enemies on screen.

I'll be honest....I'm surprised at how good this looks. Makes me really wish it was coming out on PC...with higher-res textures, more effects, better physics, and maybe even more frames. :)

I'm glad Xbox sticks to open world zombies and shooting games so I don't need to spend $400

This looks incredibly boring.

This looks astonishingly boring.

@wesleywyndam: yeahhhhhh

Hope the final version has some more sound/music in it :-p Other then that its hard to see what this game actually is, other then just running and gunning ( and jumping apparantly )

Same here. Looks pretty, but I hope there is more to it than this. Grind, jump, shoot, explosion, jump, jump, grind, shoot, shoot, shoot, jump, grind, jump, grind, shoot, explosion, shoot, shoot. I'm sure there will be some kind of story that drives the game, and there will be more variety than this one level.

Very Ratchet and Clank-ish. Kind of *yawn*.

I've lost respect for Brad. This game is the most interested he's been in an Insomniac game? He never really played Resistance or Rachet & Clank? This seems like a boring version of Rachet & Clank with more grinding and a human character as the lead instead of a whatever-Rachet-is. Oh, and it's set in a modern, yet near-future post-apocalyptic setting instead of a futuristic sci-fi setting.

But, it is unfinished, so we should expect more variety and hopefully some objective-based gameplay before all is said and done.
