Sunset Overdrive is one of the most interesting games coming out this year on Xbox One, and it’s set in a large open world populated by hordes of enemies.
That kind of setting and fauna isn’t exactly light on the hardware requirements, and DualShockers caught up with Insomniac Games’ CEO Ted Price, who explained the influence on the game’s development of the recent unlocking of the hardware resources previously dedicated to Kinect.
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.
Gamingbolt writes: "Insomniac Games has enjoyed commercial success on a level it had never seen before with its Marvel’s Spider-Man games, but not all of its titles in the last decade or so have seen eye-watering sales. 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.
Really looking forward to this game!
Thats great news.
Ted fought tool and nail to get the DRM removed before launch, as well. Can't wait to play this!
I love xbox one but sunset overdrive looks boring to play.
