Sunset Overdrive: Four Things To Learn From These Eight Minutes of Gameplay

We have great stuff today for fans looking forward to Sunset Overdrive. We have eight minutes of gameplay, with live commentary from everyone’s favorite new webshow host, Insomniac Games Community Manager Brandon Winfrey.

In these eight minutes of gameplay, Brandon talks about four things you need to know about the game. As near as I can tell, this game is going to be fun like an amusement ride.

1.       The first thing they wanted fans to know is the character customization was included with the mindset of allowing fans to be whatever they wanted. Brandon pointedly states, if you want to be a guy in a skirt in this game, you can.

2.       Brandon also explains that the game is the opposite of a cover based shooter. This game will have you constantly moving, and with that in mind, the game itself is designed to be a huge playground, with many things to bounce off of and freerun and grind and things like that.

3.       Brandon also claims that the studio has created the best weapons they have ever made in the game. The weapons are not only functional, but fun, with the same ‘tude the whole game has. And, in the spirit of the game, which is itself in the spirit of Sunset City, you want to be actively constantly using your weapons.

4.       Lastly, the game has a bit of a learning curve. You will have fun with it straight out the gate, but you will need a few sessions before you really understand the pacing and potential, and play it at its best.

Sunset Overdrive is coming October 28 exclusively to the Xbox One.
