Sunset Overdrive was the big draw at Microsoft’s massive booth at this year’s E3. That generous showing is a sign of just how confident Microsoft are that they have a new hit on their hands. The infectious candy-colored visuals and relentless in your face attitude do a lot to set the game apart from your average open world shooter. I have always been a big fan of Insomniac Games and I hope that Sunset Overdrive will be the game to bring them out of their funk after their most recent new IP, Fuse, failed to connect with gamers.
The demo showed off Sunset Overdrive‘s 8 player co-op mode, dubbed Chaos Squad. Chaos Squad is divided into several rounds where you and your teammates will vote on various maps and different objectives to tackle. Choosing and conquering the more difficult missions will pay off in the end in the form of greater rewards and cash to take back with you into the single player experience.
Night Defense is the final round of Chaos Squad, comprised of several intense waves of mutants attempting to breakthrough barriers and steal your supply of Overcharge. You can use your customized character from the single player in the co-op mode. My character appeared to be a sporty cheerleader wearing a short skirt. Our demo took place in a neon lit district of Sunset City at night.
