The 'speed lines' are actually an 'amp' that can be turned on or off. Please don't post in the Samsung overdrive thread if you don't know the real facts.

But if you turn them off how will I know how fast I was going?!

Azure, lavender, tangerine and teal splash across the screen with exquisite abandon, illuminating a 3D easel of vim and vigor.

This is Sunset Overdrive, a game that has embraced the visual possibilities of new consoles with an almost child-like lack of restraint. Every inch of this rapidly moving world is saturated with glow and hue. It is a madcap celebration of color and of movement.

Insomniac has left behind the grays and browns of its stern Resistance series from the last generation. Like a defrocked cleric who finds love in the arms of a plump bassoonist, the company has embraced the delicious freedom of a new beginning, by being as naughty and as cheeky as possible.

As evidenced by noted extremely fun Insomniac games, Resistance 2, Resistance 3 Ratchet All 4 One and Ratchet Quest for Booty.

Is this game hard at all? All gameplay videos i saw the player would slowly grind on some rails, shoot some stuff, jump, shoot some stuff and then do grind some more. Didn't seem like the enemies were even fighting back.

apparently they designed it kinda like the floor is lava so if you miss a jump or rail you're totally hosed cause you get swarmed by all the monsters. cool idea imo

I didn't see that confirmed anywhere, did you? I imagine that will be about right though. Hypothetically speaking, what resolution would your PC be able to attain? Do you find yourself getting angry at the PC monitor industry for not building displays capable of resolutions which keep up with your water cooled personal computer?

Actually, there are plenty of great monitors available for purchase. Myself, I'm playing at a full 2560x1600.

And Xbone has a terrible netbook GPU - developer has confirmed it, even including a generic excuse for Xbone's lack in processing power: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/09/25/sunset-overdrive-dev-its-the-biggest-game-weve-ever-made?+main+twitter

quote:

What happened for developers not using the Kinect is that there was a slight boost in CPU power that we got to take advantage of. This game really does push the limits when it comes to the number of enemies on screen, so it was useful for us to have more CPU juice to help with physics, navigation and AI. We’re running at 900p and 30 fps native. This is a game with a lot on the screen and we made the choice to be at 900 because we wanted to push the level of detail, action, the size of the city and the views you can experience as move around. What’s great about Sunset Overdrive is if you can see it, you can go there."

Hey guys, I've been in a coma since 1994 and just woke up. Thinking about getting a rad Xbone for this game, it looks totally sweet. Can you 'board in this, and does Alice in Chains do the whole soundtrack? I'm assuming they're still the baddest band.

edit: Maybe Live! is on the soundtrack?

Could you fit that amount of badical content in 60 frames per second? No. You can't. You'd have to dilute it.

cant we all just embrace the idea that ps and frames are worthless if a game is poor? what if this game turns out to be ok? i dont see it happening, but the chance is there. until it is out in the open we must band together with hope

Early consoles had to run at 60 fps. Hell, the Atari 2600 did sub-frame processing to get maximum power out of it (and also to con the console into displaying more simultaneous colors than it should have been capable of).

What I'm saying is the Xbone wouldn't be having these problems if they went with wood paneling for the console.
