Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Sunset Overdrive is “Looking Very Good”, Currently “Better than E3 Trailer” Graphically

Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has seen Sunset Overdrive in action, and apparently it is “looking very good.” Spencer tweeted some of his observations of the game earlier today, revealing that not only is the gameplay looking “great”, but that, graphically, Sunset Overdrive is also looking wonderful.

Although what Spencer saw was only a daily build, apparently what he saw in action looked better than the already beautiful E3 trailer.

You can see both of the tweets below in context.

@XboxP3 so any third party games that will become Microsoft exclusives? Also when do we get an update on sunset overdrive?

@XboxP3 @Mushlikeahusky @RealKLobb Was the E3 trailer any indication for the games actual graphics?

@TuamJohn @Mushlikeahusky @RealKLobb I thought what I saw yesterday (just a daily built) looked better than E3 trailer.

Sunset Overdrive is an upcoming third person action game from Insomniac, featuring frantic online combat, as well as an offline campaign. It caught our eye at last year’s E3, and, if the trailer is any indication, it should feature some fast paced fun for the Xbox One.

The official Twitter account for Sunset Overdrive also gave a slight update on when we’ll see new info or possibly new info on the game. In response to a question posted by another Twitter user asking how many “weeks or months”, the account replied with “they are getting fewer and fewer by the day.”  The game is still planned for a 2014 release which was also noted by the Twitter account. Both of these Tweets can also be viewed below.

Well i want to see it!!

I want to see the gameplay of the game Insomniac is VICIOUSLY stabbing us Sony fans in the back with!

 

 

 

Naw i'm kidding

 

But i'm curious



If i buy a XBone, this will be my first game..



Which would be a great achivement considering the announcement trailer looked quite CGish. I doubt thoses levels of anti aliasing are possible during gameplay (which is a big contributer to how nice a game looks in my opinion), but they might have brushed up the assets shown in the trailer.



Glad to hear that. This looks iike a pretty damn good reason to get a Xbox One.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
