That'll sell like hotcakes; maybe even more Xboxes pass the mark. (or whatever.)

I don't get it.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

The opposite of The Last of Us? So it's not good?

*edit*

I think it'll be good, just hate the games graphical style and the whole collectathon looking environment.

I think he mentioned TLoU to give the interview more publicity. Because this doesn't make sense at all.

Sadly, I think that's exactly what he did.  There was no reason to bring up TLOU just to say that your characters break the 4th wall.  And if he wanted to bring up a game that is of the same ilk, he should have mentioned DR3.  He just wanted more people to be brought to his interview, and therefore his game, so he made a silly comparison to TLOU, the most highly acclaimed new IP in recent years.

Wow. I'm shocked at the responses here. The last of us isn't being ridiculed here. But rather the developer is saying we made a game. Not a movie with some levels to go through. They have made a proper game with exploration, fun, and all the wacky stuff that almost all developers have forgotten about these days. whether you like or dislike TLOU, there are tons of story driven b-movie games out there.

Sunset Overdrive is a full on game that doesn't take itself seriously at all. And bravo. we don't need another halo, uncharted, gears of war, Tlou clone.

Have gamers of today really forgotten games don't have to be these plot driven b-movie titles all the time?

I think the devs info is a breath of fresh air in a linear story driven market.

You calling TLOU a movie means you have no idea how the game is.

The last of us is not getting put under the bus.

Its a clear distinction. The last of us is a serious, really heavy story driven game. Sunset overdrive is a game that takes a joke out of everything.


I am sure these devs are going to be the last to take shots out of each other being as they share the same history. What he said could be interpreted in many other ways. It always shocks me how the gaming people at large try and use the worse case scenario and display it as fact.

kmt. A people a round heare need fi unasand how fi get information and out it out correct. cha



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

S.T.A.G.E. on 02 October 2014

I heard from people that the reminders in Sunset Overdrive are quite annoying on Gametrailers.

Exactly.  It's funny how these guys are saying that TLOU isn't being ridiculed, which it wasn't, then go on to ridicule it themselves.  Most who have probably not played even 5 mins of the game.  Also, what's with some taking others joking about the title as them being serious?
