Sunset Overdrive has got to be one of the most intriguing games coming to the Xbox One this year. The open-world setting, gorgeous visuals and empowering traversal all add up to a package we can't look away from. There isn't a release date for the game yet, but we have new information specifically on how players will traverse, in addition to news that players will use a weapon wheel to switch from one gat to another.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.

In fact, specifically where Sunset Overdrive is concerned, the money the studio has made off it is quite negligible, to say the least."
Not gonna lie... looking at the IG roadmap I was fully hoping to see SSOD2 and Resistance reboot on there. The first SSOD was fun. It definitely needed the benefits of a 60fps mode and I was expecting there to be some sort of patch or FPS boost support when played on SX. Sadly... that ship sailed, but Sony gave me hope they would do the game justice. It really is a fun game that deserves to be played.
If it were on PlayStation it would’ve sold better. Being a Microsoft exclusive was a mistake.

I'm sure that big platform jump had nothing to do with it right? Pull a Rare, win Rare Prizes.
Re. R&C and the 8 million, I wonder if hitting PS+ Extra hurt its legs? Good get for the service, but did it eat some sales?
Even if they've laid dormant for a long time or were known for their massive scale, these franchises could work as more condensed games.
I don't think you can get more condensed than Second Son, it was pretty short and felt like stuff was missing at times.
What's with companies wanting to shorten games? It's as if they want to cater to gamepass and lower the quality of games.
I agree Dino Crisis and ZOE. But I also want Sony to dust off Wild Arms. See if Square can do something with Parasite Eve and Grandia. Would love a new Resistance game also Kain just so many great titles and franchises that need to see the light again.
InFamous 1&2 Remakes would kick so much ass. They are inherently fun to play and modern visuals would rock.
The weapon wheel was a fantastic idea. I'm glad Insomniac has stuck with it. (And other developers started using it)
This game looks fun, looking forward to picking up an Xbox One for it.
I will buy an xbox for this, hopefully you can level up the weapons like R&C.
This game looks really fun and clearly doesn't take itself too seriously! Nice to see some colour in a modern game.
