Sunset Overdrive: info on customization, and other gameplay details on Day One Edition

After the avalanche of information emerged in the day yesterday on Sunset Overdrive , today we provide more details on the exclusive Xbox One which we find to be in development by the closure of Resistance 3 , i.e. by summer 2011. First we learn new info about the plot of the game: we are in 2027 when Fizzco is inaugurating the launch of a special drink called Watches Delirium XT. In the city, Sunset City, preparations increases: banners are held and huge balloons to cheer the sight of these where he portrayed the mascot Fizzy. Happiness does not last long, however, because the people who taste the new drink she finds herself transformed into dangerous creatures.

This is the introduction of the game starting seventeen days after the unfortunate incident. We will enter into play us as a fully customizable player, both in sex and in appearance, depending on our preferences. You can modify several parameters of our body, choose the clothes and accessories to wear to our alter-ego and even change the color of the heels that creates during the shots. Concerning the latter, those who don't like it can also deactivate it completely. The character will increase their skills further in the game.

Our characters have avoided the transformation since that fateful day had not drunk the drink, as it grapples with the cleaning of the city. We realize immediately that a city offers many opportunities in the chaos; of course in addition to have fun you need to pay attention to now become unmanageable creatures.

During the adventure we will activate missions and side quests of various kinds. As mentioned yesterday, the city will be connected by ramps, electric wires, roofs and whatnot. The developers state that there will be no loading times when we will move in various locations.

As we know, the main feature of the game is to move continuously in order to earn style points. However we realise the true speed of the title only. At first glance the game might seem slower than it actually is; When we jump from one roof to another or from an electric wire to another by shooting at enemies that Parry before us, only then will we realize the fluidity and speed offered by Sunset Overdrive . We have no time to think which weapon to use or how to be cruel on the enemy, or to see that threat is to occur: we'll have to decide everything in a matter of seconds, but according to information emerged, everything will be simple and immediate since the early moments.

The city will be occupied by three factions of the enemies we face: ODD, Scabs and FRS. The ODD will act on their own and always will be those who will try new drinks by swallow and would try not to kill to get one. The Scabs will fuse together into bands, while the FRS are members of the private army of the multinational. All enemies can jump and run continuously, there will be some who will shoot fire and rockets from the eyes.

In addition to the more traditional weapons such as AK47, we will have the opportunity to build a whole arsenal of objects that will be inherent in the scenario and we can assemble in various ways. It is an example of a kind of weapon that shoots of Teddy bears that explode upon contact with the enemies, the High Fidelity who throws old 45 rpm or the Roman Candle Gun that shoots bursts of fireworks.

Developers are working on animations of all the characters and overall on the look and feel of the game. Insomniac aims to let us play in a city vibrant and vivid color crackling which will serve as a side dish to an equally vibrant and lively gameplay.

Microsoft has also announced the extra content of Day One Edition that will be sold to the product launch, exactly as happened for One Day Edition of the titles released at the launch of the Xbox One. These will include costumes for the character and unique melee weapons, a package for fans who wish to tackle the game with a touch of class. To follow the contents in detail:

  • Nothin' but the Hits gun : A modified version of the gun High Fidelity that will be personalized with multicoloured vinyl that will increase the damage inflicted by enemies.
  • It's Me! Fizzie!  Fizzie is the most popular game character.  So why not dress up like him?
  • Hardcore! Hammer : you can equip a mighty hammer studded with lethal spikes

In short, the time Sunset Overdrive seems to be extremely funny and rather original. We'll see over time how to evolve the development. To follow the pictures showing the contents of One Day Edition.
