MICROSOFT: Insomniac announces Sunset Overdrive for Xbox One

MCV Staff 10th June 2013 Publishing

Insomniac Games is creating a new open-world shooter for Xbox One, titled Sunset Overdrive.

The game was introduced by Insomniac boss Ted Price during Microsoft’s E3 press conference.

Sunset Overdrive is a "stylised open world shooter" that changes every day thanks to the processing power and functionality of Xbox One’s cloud gaming.

This means that Insomniac can add new weapons and new missions every day.

The demo showed characters using ziplines and free-running to get around a colourful cartoonish city, fighting against mutant monsters with standard weapons like shotguns as well as improvised ones like an LP-launcher.

Sunset Overdrive is currently in development for Xbox One.

[Guest post] Among Us on Windows: what the social deduction boom looks like from the desktop

Social deduction has always been a party-room genre first and a software genre second. Werewolf and Mafia needed a table, a moderator and a group willing to lie to each other for an hour. The digital versions that stuck tend to keep that structure intact and add the one thing tabletop versions can't: anonymity, plus a reason to move around.
