Gamescom 2014: Sunset Overdrive Preview

Sunset Overdrive was one of the Games i didnt really take notice trough the time of its Reveal till Gamescom. But after seeing a big Booth of Sunset Overdrive at the Xbox Booth at Gamescom i wanted to give the Game a chance to surprise me. The Trailers looked fun and the humor in the Trailers was also funny so i had go to the Xbox Booth and played one Mulitplayer Coop-Match.

Gameplay:

I was playing with one Promoter of the Game and two other visitors of the booth. At the beginning there was a introduction Video which showed us how to play and the objective of the Match and how to control the Game and Grind at the Rails. We had to protect 2 Objectives against a horde of Mutants and had different weapons to choose from.

When the Game started i grinded on the rails to the right side of the Map and jumped down to attack the first Wave of Mutants. I choosed a machine Gun and aimed the first Mutants and shooted them in their Face. After beating the first Wave of Mutants i had choose another weapon: The Teddybear Weapon. This Weapon shooted a Teddy in front of the Enemies and exploded after a few seconds. After the Wave of Mutants we got the information that there will be a giant mutant coming in our way. So my Team choosed a Weapon which was shooting a giant Bomb at those Mutants.

After beating the following Wave of Mutants the Game introduced Traps. Now my Team could place explosive Traps to stop the Enemies. We've placed the Traps and after one minutes there was coming new Waves of Enemies. And so we killed the Mutants wave after wave with five giant Mutants coming at the last minute of the Game.

For me the Game feels very fun and got some nice weapon ideas. There was also a Discgun which shooted Disc against the Mutants or a big Revolver Gun which killed the normal Mutants with one Hit. The grinding along the rails feels fluid and fun also. The only Problem i noticed is that the Match was very easy. So a one member Team could win this match and you doesnt have to team up with youre team.

8/10

Graphics and Technic:

The Demo i played is the level from the Picture above and looks exactly like the Picture. The Explosions and Characters looked high detailed and comic-like. The sounds also are very good mixed. I Grind-Controls and Combat-Controls was very easy to use and the Game ran fluid and without Frame-Rate Problems.

9/10

End:

Sunset Overdrive surprised me. I had lot of fun in the Match. If Insomniac is doing a great Singleplayer Story Mode this could be the first Xbox One Game i would call a Systemseller.

8.5/10

Sunset Overdrive is coming to Xbox One on October 28th 2014 in US and EU.
