"Can you survive the many dangers? Can you help others survive? Can you save Sunset City? Can you? For the love of god CAN YOU? Of course you can, it's a f***ing video game."
After watching the opening of this new Xbox One exclusive I wonder if it's a quirky new take on Dead Rising or actually something that might be more interesting.
Set for Release in the UK and Australia as well as the US, Sunset Overdrive has everything a zombie right wing conservative would want in a game. Of course we use the word "zombie" loosely, it's actually based upon an energy drink that has transformed nearly the entire population of Sunset City into a variety of toxic mutant creatures from your grandmother's attic. Well minus the attic, but still from your grandmother's house. With Insomniac using an updated version of their own secret recipe engine, the game is open world with a metric butt-ton of options to choose from when it comes to getting from point A to point Z and all the letters in between.
The options don't stop there, you will be able to wall-run better than the pilots on Titanfall and grind your way across banners, rails, and power lines like your playing Jet Set Radio! You'll also be able to customize your special abilities and use an arsenal that was most likely put together by your uncle Bill. Regardless of who the maniacal devastating weapons came from they are more than enough to get the job done and have fun in the process. Insomniac says they will keep the content updated post launch with new events and items. There will also be something called Sunset TV during the game featuring the voice of the developer.
With it's comic book like quips that pop up after a big attack, a tear of joy will roll down your cheek. All the promise and fun Sunset Overdrive looks to provide in my life means that it will be sitting in my download que sooner rather than later. Look for this amazingly shiny game online and at your local retail store on 10/28/2014!
