After all this, I'm thinking ms will keep it forever exclusive, even if there was a plan to do otherwise lol

 

I wouldnt be shocked either, but i also wouldnt be shocked if it doesnt.  It could go either way and when two microsoft representatives has said it wasnt true, then im going to believe them until some other kind of news comes out and tells me otherwise.  I understand skepticism, but i believe what plenty of people do goes beyond skepticism, and youre probably aware of some of the people im talking about.

MS will make Sunset into a trilogy this gen. At worst we get a scenario like Mass Effect where Sunset 2 is exclusive, and goes multi just before Sunset 3. Or a Gears deal where they're all exclusive.



 

Wonder if Black Friday will see these bundles drop to $299 for one day only ..

THats what i said a few days ago.  From the way Phil Spencer talked in the interview it looks like Sunset Overdrive will be their Gears of War this generation.




       

Really impressed with what MS has done this holiday season, the last piece of the puzzle is mass marketing.

(And a $299 bundle Black Friday).

Looking forward to November NPD.

I think Joe Staten is the Franchise Manager for Sunset as well (Along with Crackdown and Scalebound) seems likely that sequels will remain exclusives

+ Ms has a team set up just to help on Sunset, Crackdown and Scalebound, investing a lot into it even if they don't own the Ip 


Yeah, we talked about this a few months ago.  Which is exactly what i was referencing in the review thread a moment ago.    Joe Staten is the main reason im im curious to see Crackdown (and cloud computing) as i dont even like that franchise lol




       

What I really like about the SO reviews is that it seems to be a "love it or hate it" game. Well, not that people really hate it but the scores clearly show that some really love it and some wouldn't touch it if they wouldn't have to for a review,.

That shows that people who are interested in this game will mostly really really like it and those who weren't really interested in it know that it really isn't for them. There are some other games which don't get so many 90 and not  many lower scores and still have a Meta of 83 or so. These games are for pretty much everyone a "I will play it but it won't be really great". Games nobody will remember after a year or two, something which doesn't seem to be the case with SO which will probably get at least a small fanbase which will think about this game even in five years and will remember how awesome it was for them. 



Well i assume they will be stocking more Sunset Overdrive bundles in stores ;)

Get special edition Xbox One bundles for amazing prices this holiday. Sunset Overdrive white bundle: $349.

SO is a must buy now for me. The more I see and read the more I just have to play it.

I shall rattle through Aliens Isolation and trade it in for this by the end of the week.

Slightly disappointing, but inevitable, that the review thread turns into a "lets shit on MS and the ONE" thread once more. Some people simply cant handle yet another ONE game reviewing well.... again.

Indeed. MS is looking at 5 80+ exclusive games this holiday ....

But PS has more if you count $3 indie games which oddly enough will be compared to full price games as if both would be in the same league  (I'm still waiting for the day when people in gaming forums start to say that consoles are crap because an Iphone has more games with good scores)

For me the first year already shows one thing, XBO doesn't deserve to do so much worse as PS since MS really seemed to try much more to get some good full price titles quality wise (power alone shouldn't be a reason to sell so much less) and both consoles should be in a gamers home in the next years since both will get some awesome games in the future.
