LOL....Yes....definitely looks like a kids game. I really want to know what you've been looking at. Just because a game is colorful, doesn't mean its for kids. The game has a a switch to turn off gore and profanity. Its also has plenty of self satire. It pokes fun of the fact that its a videogame. This main character has the sense of humor of Dead Pool and even breaks the fourth wall from time to time.

Considering that the entire reason that this is Microsoft exclusive instead of Sony exclusive is because Insomniac wants an IP that they can call their own, this seems incredibly unlikely

That was Sony's mistake and not Insomniacs. For the sake of PS4 gamers I hope this game goes multiplat, but if Microsoft was truly smart they would seal the deal on this new IP. It would make a great filler AAA title between the higher tier seasonal AAA's.

Its Sony's mistake for wanting to own a new IP? How you think Insomniac will respond if Microsoft tries to do the same thing?

What I have played of SO is great, but Gears it certainly is not. They would be much better suited trying to get a multigame deal with Insomniac, if anything.

Exactly.  +1

I agree. SO could eventually be a bigger franchise someday. It's a spiritual successor to ratchet and clank imo, and really could have much better sales on a console with a fanbase who actually like Ratchet and Clank. This could have been a much better seller. It's like ff13 between the 360 and ps3. Like, why would you put ff13 on a console that doesn't have a fanbase for that genre? All you really did was sell to multiple console owners and people who would have bought a ps3. On top of which, it was a mediocre game, which just acts as a bad first impression for new players.

I really hope they made money on it, and I believe SO should come to PS, if Insomniac has any say about it. Hell, they should re-release it for ps4 as soon as they possibly can.

EDIT: Looks like I responded more to the second part of your post than the first. Locking this game up should be a no-brainer, but the IP itself needs some work if Insomniac ever wants it to be a great seller. Because it doesn't have the traditional ps fanbase to turn to for easy sales, they have to make their game that much better quality if they want to improve.

I would say the game though is much more similar to Dead Rising on the 360, though. Initially exclusive, then a second entry port, then exclusive again, with much more similar sales than Gears.

Fun fact: I just typed in Dead Rising into the database search engine and the first result was "gears of war". Weird.

Plus 2....wait...but he was wrong in his train of thought because at this time in Uncharteds life it was just as popular as Sunset Overdrive. Uncharted went unnoticed for quite a while. Uncharted 2's popularity brought new life to Uncharted 1, including bundles.

I'll preferably have every sequel onwards being multiplat because...

...I need more reasons to buy a PS4, dammit. I don't hate the Xbone but most of my friends own a PS4, and I don't want to feel left out again just for owning an Xbox system.

Isn't Sunset Overdrive just a brighter copy of the infamous series. Let MS have both SO and Gears of War. I prefer the darker infamous series over SO and I didn't care for gears of war.
