I love the game play styles Imsomniac are trying to fuse together. If they can nail it I think it could be something special.

That 'feels like' list is pretty exciting stuff. Will keep my eye on this!

They had me right up to the generic shooter Doom3-alike bad guys. My big question would be can they pull off the fluid feel of that trailer in actual gameplay without it feeling like a QTE? Reminds me a little of that cel-shaded Prince of Persia which looked like a ton of fun but was barely a game.

OverStrike looked good too... I won't be excited till I see gameplay.

Shame it's not multiplatform rules out playing with my cousins.

Double post.

The game to convince me to buy an Xbox One.

Unless it ends up like Fuse...

Website is very strange i like the fake brands on show i would eat at sexburger andi want to try the beers “October Sunset Brisk Breeze Autumn Crop Duster Wheat” and “My Ex-Girlfriend Amber.”.

if they get that sunny games vibe from the Dreamcast era right it could be the breath of fresh air that the games industry needs, I'm hoping the mainstream gets out of its gritty gritty bang bang slump soon.

Nice and arcadey, decent weight to the controls, fun missions.

Please, please, please Insomniac.

And then, at E3, announce a Ratchet & Clank game for PS4.

I am excite.

Very heavily influenced by Jet Set Radio. That's not a bad thing. I just wish they had found something more unique to do with it other than kill stuff. The Pinkies look dull.

[shaffy_oppa]

:/ doesn't look like I'll be getting an xbone just yet...

That looked boring.

[originalbadboy]

Looks pretty nice ... Jet Set Radio with Guns ...

Definitely one to add to the list

[teddymeow]

Looks pretty but rather slow.

I am intrigue.

Awesome looks like its got elements of Dead rising, jet set radio and infamous in a really cool universe, cant wait to give this a go. nice preview impressions here too, the pink enemy things are mutated humans that have been transformed by an energy drink.

Series like Infamous and Crackdown elevated open-world traversal with empowering new abilities, but Sunset Overdrive adds finesse and skill to traversal in ways I haven’t seen in the genre.

Not only is expertly navigating the city fun, it’s integral to the gameplay. Linking together traversal techniques builds up your Style Meter. Touching the ground causes your level to gradually lower. Special weapon and ability augments, called Amps, activate as your Style Level increases. For example, some amps bestow your roll dodge with a force field, another sends out a shockwave when you hit the ground, and a very powerful amp has a chance of turning a regular bullet into a nuclear explosion.

Dosent sound boring to me sounds ace.
