Throw in hordes of mutants and you even have yourself a dash of Dead Rising.
#SUNSET OVERDRIVE PRO#
The grinding thrills of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the arcade zaniness of Crazy Taxi, the imaginative weapons of Ratchet & Clank. There's the vivid color, acrobatics, and traversal style of Jet Set Radio. Bombastic characters and even their zoomed in still-frame introductions are reminiscent of Borderlands. Insomniac currently owns the Sunset Overdrive IP, so a sequel wouldn't necessarily be an Xbox exclusive.Sunset Overdrive is a melting pot of game design, spiritually linked to some very influential titles including ones from developer Insomniac Games' own stable.

Over time, the concept merged to a story-driven, open-world game, and the demons were replaced by mutants. In this form, it was a pure third-person shooter game. The initial prototype for the game involved co-op gameplay where multiple players would construct forts and fight off demons. The game began early development near the end of development of Resistance 3.
#SUNSET OVERDRIVE PC#
Chaos Squad was not included in the PC release. Players earn game currency and loot based on the team's performance throughout the match. Each match ends with a round of Night Defence.

During these troubled times, a lone teenager decides to not only survive, but thrive. In 2027, the Fizzco corporation unleashed its newest product upon the public, Overcharge Delirium XT. This extremely popular (and contaminated) beverage has turned nearly the entire population of Sunset City into mutants.įollowing the outbreak, several groups of bandits were formed, terrorizing on other survivors. The game was officially revealed at E3 2013, as an Xbox One exclusive. Sunset Overdrive's grinding mechanics are also reminiscent of Tony Hawk skating games. Insomniac took inspiration from several different things, varying from Popeye cartoons, to Halloween masks. The tone of the game took a complete 180, however, since the studio wished to go back to their Ratchet & Clank roots. At the time, it was a much more serious endeavor. In it's earliest stages, Sunset Overdrive was a DayZ-like zombie shooter. Insomniac first began working on Sunset Overdrive shortly after the release of Resistance 3.
