So you think the game would be worth playing on PC but as it is an Xbone exclusive, no good words about it are shared? Hmm...


No, worth trying. Never said it'd be worth playing or not worth playing on any of them.



It looks great, I love the art style and the gameplay looks damn fun, looking forward to see more at E3.



Love the colors. Glad it's more like R&C. Hopefully this is a return to form for Insomniac. Too similar to infamous and R&C though to really stand out and make me want an X1. Quantum Break still stands as the most interesting X1 game to me, but The Order and Uncharted will deliver a similar TPS experience. Need something more original/unique to the platform than what I can already/will get on PS4.

I find it strange how everyone acts like Insomniac is this awful developer now. Have they had some misses? Yes FUSE was a truly awful game.

But this is also the studio that released Crack in Time, a fantastic game. And this game looks like Insomniac finally realized what they are good at and are going all in. Personally I think it looks like the absolute best of Insomniac rolled into one title.

They aren't awful, but they certainly haven't been living up to the name they previously built for themselves. Fuse wasn't the only title people disliked, 2 of the 3 recent R&C games were rather mediocre and the third didn't hit the standards many were hoping for from a new proper (though shorter) title.

It's been several years since they had a really good game, as appose to previously where they seemed to make nothing else but good games.

None of that mean SO will be bad, and i do think some people (myself included sometimes) can be a bit harsh to them, but there are valid reasons for the slack insomniac has gotten recently.

Looks fun, obviously inspired by inFamous and Crackdown.

Yeah I can certainly agree with that. No doubt about it.

I just think Crack in Time is one of the best platform / shooters I've ever played and so far everything they've shown from SO looks like a return to form in the best possible ways.

I just think it would be silly to write off Sunset just because its an Insomniac game and they haven't been as good lately as they once were. I never got the feeling of pride / accomplishment from them when they were talking about FUSE or some of their other titles recently. They really seem high on Sunset though and seem fully committed to releasing an amazing title.

Dead Rising 3 is better than this.


Funny, because the mindless enemies and running around in a pointless world is similar to Dead Rising. Dead Rising get's boring and this has that same feal as most open games get old fast including the ones I like.



That looks wicked.

Its like some sort of insane Banjo Kazooie/Titanfall/Infamous/GTA/Saint's Row/Mario mash up!

All wrapped in a glorious Dreamcast era art style
