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!

oSHINSAo4295d ago

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

AngelicIceDiamond4295d ago

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

Abash4295d ago (Edited 4295d 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Now the grinding make me think of 3D Sonic games when it originally made me think of Jet Set Radio.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

GarrusVakarian4295d 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.

christocolus4295d 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.

KuroKazuma4295d 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

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

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.

StarcrossedBits220d 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.

jambola220d 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

Juancho51220d 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.

BlackCountryBob220d 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__220d ago

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

LoveSpuds220d 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....
