I think that most feelings hurt over Sunset Overdrive are because while the game looks like it could be a ton of fun, it's an exclusive... but Insomniac fanboys are probably fanboys for R&C (mostly...), and would love to see more R&C. Thus, we have a problem of, do I need multiple consoles in order to play all of their games? That upsets me a bit, because I don't have the money to spend on two consoles, but I do want to play all of their games. It just felt like a slap in the face to do that. I don't believe that the cloud is necessary any more than any other argument we've ever heard about how X exclusive is only possible on Y console. However, I'm sure they probably got a pretty good deal from MS to do it... Still frustrating.
But yes, their recent titles have been disappointing. They aren't even terrible games. Just okay ones. They had a lot of potential to be great, and really failed to execute.
And I can't help but get excited for ItN. ACiT is still one of my all time favourite games. Plus, Talwyn returning? Voiced by Tara Strong? Yes please! That was the one area I was let down by ACiT. Talwyn, along with Cronk and Zephyr, were pretty much just dropped completely.
