Neil writes "Whisk yourself back 12 months and Xbox One gamers were taken to a world corrupted by a manic soft drinks company, hell bent on putting money before health and safety as the energy drink OverCharge Delirium XT threatened to ruin the world.
The plot behind Sunset Overdrive was a crazed one, one that we never thought would ever make it to the real world.
But if you were to visit sunny Birmingham in the UK between the 24th-27th Sept 2015, you may have thought that the events of Sunset City were becoming reality."
Insomniac has confirmed that a PS5 port for 2014's Sunset Overdrive is not currently planned due to a focus on Marvel's Wolverine.
:(
.
(well, they're likely also working with Nixxes for the inevitable Spider-Man 2 PC port as well)
This is new…it pretty much confirms it can happen eventually.
I thought Microsoft had publishing rights or something
“It is important to note that Xbox owns the publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive.
Therefore, a PS5 port would need to be approved by Microsoft.”
I said this eight days ago and got disagrees.
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.
Never had Tornado but i'd get pretty annoyed if it kept going all over me
The first minute i walked into the event on saturday everyone was given a can, 30 second later when i opened my can in a crowd around street fighter 5 at the playstation section it exploded as i opened it and i was looking straight at it.
it hit my face and sprayed in every direction. i got some fun looks and was hasty to move on an went to the other side of the event, it was great walking around the whole day with that sticky crap everywhere.
every can we had did the same thing. it sprayed in a jet for a few seconds till the pressure was released.
Haha this is brilliant. I thought the same thing!
LOL
Now that's a sticky situation.
I never saw this happen once when I was at EGX. I couldn't drink the stuff personally but my friends seemed to be able to open their cans without spraying it over the show floor.
