GAME IS OUT OR SOMETHING:

Soul Glo posted:

Thread necromancy for reviews if you're curious:

IGN: 9.0/10
Joystiq: 5/5
Game Informer: 9.25/10

Arthur Gies also gave it a 9, so buyer beware.
(OP's note: Arthur Gies is a loving gay retarded piece of poo poo.)

Metacritic's at 82, so it's not all roses, but people seem to be liking it!

Giant Bomb's Quick Look is up too.


------------

Sunset Overdrive is a game from Insomniac studios, best known for the Ratcher and Clankt series. In moving to the Xbone they have decided to eschew all of that universe and go with an entirely new sort of game.

Think SR4 mixed with a bit of Crackdown and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2. The result is a third person open world game where you shoot and destory pink monsters who are actually the towns folk that are addicted to a drink!



This is you! Or the guy who you can play as!



An typical enemy. Poor sad fools addicted to drink.



This is an annoying mascot. I think you get to kill him at the end of the game?




Anyway, you get tojump and grind and kill and have fun with memes and drinks and Fizzco. It doesn't look very good sadly, but i like Insomniac so I would like to be surprised by them.


Here is a video with some of the wackniess!

the respawns is something i really like.
(please ignore the transversal part, the grinding looks bloody awful!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQIA6OF9QmI

and omse characterisation!!

A real life person who 'works' as a 'games journalist' had the following to say about Samsung Overdrive:

Azure, lavender, tangerine and teal splash across the screen with exquisite abandon, illuminating a 3D easel of vim and vigor.

This is Sunset Overdrive, a game that has embraced the visual possibilities of new consoles with an almost child-like lack of restraint. Every inch of this rapidly moving world is saturated with glow and hue. It is a madcap celebration of color and of movement.

Insomniac has left behind the grays and browns of its stern Resistance series from the last generation. Like a defrocked cleric who finds love in the arms of a plump bassoonist, the company has embraced the delicious freedom of a new beginning, by being as naughty and as cheeky as possible.


Well. Just get a load of all that!


But its not about that guy, its about you guys! what are your thoughts??

I like the promo comics very much. They remind me of 2000AD in a good way. With any luck this is reflected in the game, would be cool to see time-travelling Bill Clintons cause mayhem in secret Amazonian jungle base slash captive dinosaur queen holdout.

I wish Oddworld New N Tasty was promoted with a drink. Maybe it did? The drink in Sunset Overdrive is what created all the zombies, which makes it extra appetizing.

Gonna buy this game, btw, looks fun, 10/10

apparently some people have been working on an xbox emulator for years now and not really got anywhere. if you have an xbox 360 it will play jet set radio future! make sure you have the original game though and not the jsrf/segagt combo-disc cause that doesn't work

i bought a new 360 a couple weeks ago and i think im gonna buy jsrf to play on it :D

i like how in the preview vids theyre like 'you can go so dang fast with grinding' and their dude is slower than a call of duty guy's sprint speed

cmon man

the base concept (high movement capability w/ jsf-ish environment and style system + shooter) is real cool though

the last game that tried something vaguely similar is like total overdose's style/scoring system but that game was very not good

The 'speed lines' are actually an 'amp' that can be turned on or off. Please don't post in the Samsung overdrive thread if you don't know the real facts.

It's backwards-compatible but you need a non-bootleg Microsoft Hard Drive(tm) because only those have the Xbox One partition on them, and games won't boot without it. There's a list of every compatible game. Some games can be a bit wonky with slowdown and the like even if they're "compatible", though.

i think i do have this. I took my 360 slim and removed the harddrive from the fat xbox 360 caddy and stuck it in the slim. is this good? It is a harddrive from a launch 360

Yes i think that should be fine, I think it's more "not a hard drive which came from eBay China" which will generally not have that specific partition.
