Chillopedia: The Xbox One is Microsoft’s latest next generation console releasing on the 22nd of November, and is all the rage in the gaming industry right now thanks to its wide and versatile range of exclusive games. All sorts of developers are either getting ready to release games specifically catered to Xbox One or are on the path to releasing Xbox One versions.
Does it still hold up in 2024?
We've still got a few months to go, but October marks the 10-year anniversary of this Insomniac Games title, with the developer having since moved on to work on the Marvel's Spider-Man games for PlayStation. It was assumed that Sunset Overdrive might make its way to other platforms eventually, but that hasn't happened as of yet.
So beloved that it sold so well that there's a sequel and Insomniac never had the opportunity to go back to Sony to develop games exclusively for Sony.
Not beloved enough for Xbox owners to buy it apparently, Xbox was the worst possible audience for that game.
Insomniac: “We went with Microsoft because we want to own the IP so it’s ours”
Microsoft: *owns publishing rights preventing the studio to re-release the original game, make a remaster, remake, any DLC, massive expansions and multiple sequels on other platforms*
The logic is just…I never got it
Owning the IP was Insomniacs main defence when they announced they were making a game exclusively for MS and yet they’ve ended up “owning” an IP they can’t do anything with.
If they went with Sony like normal you might have seen a sequel by now.
Sadly this may never get the proper fps update it deserves on XB (or even PS) but I now play it on steam and it definitely feels better at 60fps than it did at 30. Its a fast paced game... you need that 60fps in this one.
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.
"where Sunset Overdrive is concerned, the money the studio has made off it is quite negligible, to say the least."
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?
thats basicaly my list..intend to get them all.
I will get Dead Rising 3 at launch. I am keeping my eye on D4, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, and Project Spark, and considering each of them. I think Titanfall looks great, but I don't like competitive multiplayer, so I highly doubt I will get it. I am not a Halo fan, so I won't get that. I need to hear really good word of mouth to get Ryse or Crimson Dragon, but haven't ruled them out. No interest what-so-ever in Forza (although I think the Drive-atar is a neat idea), as I will get Driveclub on PS4 for free, and I will buy Need For Speed and/or the Crew. They didn't mention Below, but I put that in the Keep an eye on group.
For PS4, I will buy The Witness, Galak-Z, Infamous, The Order:1886, Deep Down, and Octodad. Those are the must haves. Keeping an eye on Killzone, and several of the indies.
Meh,
Give it a few years and you will be all playing Kinect games
so many great games coming to all platforms, sucks i won't get to play any xone games for a long time if that.
