Haven't really paid much attention to this game, but it really looks very good, and very entertaining. However, my fear is that:
a) This really isn't a kind of game to attract wider audience. Mainly to attract new users. I can see this game do decently well among existing XOne owners, but, other than some sort of bundle/price drop incentive, don't see many people deciding to buy XOne based on Sunset Overdrive.
b) game comes out "Fall". October or early November, I guess. I'm just afraid it will get swallowed up by an onslaught of multiplatform titles. It will be a very slow release summer, followed by September's Destiny that seems to have chased away all other games into Q4. Then all of a sudden we get: Dragon Age, Mordor, Alien, Driveclub, The Crew, Project CARS [one of those needs to be delayed, for sure], Batman, Assassin's Creed, CoD, FIFA, NBA 2K.... 10 huge or potentially huge sellers. S.O. just might not stand a chance, a new, quirky IP...
Had the game come out in June or August it would probably do much better. Or in February 2015...
Or, of course, this franchise might just be a new hit to follow the footsteps of Saints Row, and prove me wrong...
