Sunset Overdrive gets grinding speed boost

When we first revealed footage of the game, some people thought the grinding speed was too slow. So, we did something about it! Watch to see what!

oSHINSAo4228d ago

Now it looks like it should be from the begining... looks nice that speed boost

AngelicIceDiamond4228d ago

Very Exciting news I always thought the grinding was a bit to slow. I'm glad you can speed up grinds.

Abash4227d ago (Edited 4227d ago )

Now the grinding make me think of 3D Sonic games when it originally made me think of Jet Set Radio. This game just screams Sega haha

GarrusVakarian4227d ago

This is great news, the grinding speed was pretty much my only criticism, and now it's been addressed. Gotta love it when devs listen to their fans. Thanks, Insomniac.

Day one.

christocolus4227d ago

Wow.. Glad they've added this. Was showing a video of the game to my friends the other day and even though they liked it they weren't too happy with the grinding speed.its something I've been hoping they will fix before launch and now they have. .. Nice job insomniac. Nice job.

KuroKazuma4227d ago

no, it should be permanent faster, without this annoying boost effect...

not only for grinding and climbing walls

I feel awkward. Seems like this games belongs in th 80s or 2000s

ThatEnglishDude4228d ago (Edited 4228d ago )

Sunset Overdrive looks really fun! When it comes down to it, that's all you can ask for.

700p4227d ago

Insomniac Games Has To Figure Out How to Break the 'Normal' Gameplay Loop in Marvel's Wolverine

For a mutant who can't die, how will Insomniac Games adjust the healing mechanic in Marvel's Wolverine?

Knocked out is still an option. So are being captured or restrained. Then there's potential for fatigue being a factor or just putting limits on how many times you can come back from healing quickly, making it also something you upgrade throughout the game.

Really not a hard thing to gamify, honestly. Just look at the last wolverine game.

StarcrossedBits153d ago

Yeah, this is very silly. Wolverine's not invincible and he can actually die anyway. This isn't the Superman problem. The 360/PS3 game handled it great.

Deadpool is another example. That guy literally can't die because Death won't take him. But they still figured out a way to make a game around him.

jambola153d ago

Probably just have a health bar, only a tiny minority will probably be bothered by "oh but adanced healing" nonsense
Injustice was successful, people didn't cry about superman being beaten by humans

Juancho51153d ago

Ive seen enough to know that whatever they do will focus heavily on insane combos and dismemberments and all kinds of cool shit we wish we'd seen years ago as wolverine fans.

This is in great hands, all open world games get stale, I'm sure this game is going to be GOTY contender because of the talent behind it, but I hope its doesn't fall into any traps that make the world feel empty or underutilized.

LFG tho!! EXCITED.

BlackCountryBob153d ago

Of all the things to worry about, this feels like the lowest ebb. I’d perhaps be more concerned about how they can find enough variety in the combat mechanics to stop a 10-12 hour game from becoming a bit samey, even if they get that main combat gameplay loop to be incredibly satisfying.

Obviously Wolverines claws will remain the main combat method, but thinking about how God of War benefited from (and differentiated itself from predecessor’s) by increased verticality in combat and also ranged attack mechanics, I’d be interested to see what Insomniac can come up with.

__SteakDeck__153d ago

Jean Gray will be playable for a portion of the game. That’s how they’re going to spice it up.

LoveSpuds153d ago

Interesting to hear to views os such an experienced game developer/designer.........wha t's that, you just a random dude off the internet....

Remember the PS3/X360 Wolverine game that was unbelievably gory & badass? if it's anything like that, it'll be just fine.

jaymacx169d ago

Insomniac’s track record is really good. I am not worried about this game. As long as Sony gives them the time they need .

Storm23167d ago

Sure seems liKe they have gotten a ton of time. It's been 4 years since the announcement. Can't wait to see it

InUrFoxHole169d ago

Needs a lot of work from the released footage but if they can get the movement and feel down... thats huge

Tacoboto168d ago

"Needs a lot of work"

Goodness. No shit. It was leaked incomplete footage stolen from them, and years later there still isn't a release date.

cloganart168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

There was no "released footage", it was literally leaked mechanical/dev builds that were testing features.

Consumer eyes were never meant to see that at the end of the day without the context of development.

Ninver167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

I see they've resurrected Einstein over here.

neutralgamer1992168d ago

It's insomniac games they have never made a bad game so we know the game will be quality and all insomniac games are fun.

darthv72168d ago

...yeah we don't talk about Fuse. Or Song of the deep for that matter, even though that one was kinda decent.

neutralgamer1992168d ago

I never played Sony of the deep but as someone who played Fuse it was a good game. Not up to insomniac standards but in no way was it a bad game. It didn't have any bugs or glitches it just was a 7-7.5/10 game from that generation

Knightofelemia168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

It's Wolverine how can you bugger up Wolverine with Insomniac behind the game? I am a little more cautious about the Blade game Microsoft is cooking.

Abnor_Mal168d ago

I feel that Blade will play a lot like Dishonored, not necessarily a bad thing being that it’s Arkane Lyon Studio developing the game I can see them staying in their wheelhouse.
