Bonus points to anyone who finds my editing mistake in this. I put in there as a test, not because I posted it at 2am. Hope you enjoy and again, please play this game
That point u made at the beginning just hits me personally. I hate games trying to make everything with realistic aspects and such while sunset overdrive literally just “go have fun.” In a nutshell.
It’s so refreshing and just not enough games are brave enough to just be a video game these days. I love big cinematic games as well, but it’s great having variety. Thanks for watching and commenting! Appreciate it!
Dude you’re not going to believe this but I HAD NO IDEA. I went to 13 to see what you were talking about and paused it to look and was like my god… great shout out lol
@@reallyhimongodthey are all gold! One of them even has the name 'OVERSTRIKE' which was the original name for 'FUSE' which is one of the few console insomniac games which is not very popular
I remember seeing the trailer for it back when it was coming out but didn't feel like it was gonna be a game I would like at the time, not knowing it was even made by insomniac. But seeing this video it seems like it's 100% up my alley, definitely putting it on my list of games I need to play. Definitely sold me on the game with the video so great job dude!
Full disclosure, I’ve tried playing this game twice in the past and it never clicked for me. I liked elements but couldn’t see the forest through the trees and how it all was trying to come together. The missing link I think was Spider-Man, playing it after that made me appreciate this way more and understand what it was trying to do far better. Hope you can get around to it at some point Ian! Thanks again mate!!
This games world blows my mind to this day...I get like 160 fps all the time on PC and that FPS moving this fast in a city this dense is nothing short of a marvel.
I started on PC but until I can start making some more upgrades to it, capturing gameplay, webcam and actually running the game are just way to taxing so I swapped to the series x. Imagine what you would be able to do with 2022 tech if they ever got to go back
Oh man thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it dude! I’ve got some cool new ideas (at least I think they’re cool) in the pipeline so hopefully you stick around and check out some of the other videos on the channel! Thanks again bro!
Insomniac still owns the IP for Sunset Overdrive. I still have hopes we will get a Sequel for PS5 with a port of the first game! We are coming up on the 10th Anniversary this October. I got it with Gold years ago and when I played it I fell in love with Insomniac and it made me get a Playstation.
Sunset Overdrive was my first Insomniac game, incredibly silly but fun. This game reminds me of Dunkey's principle, 'a short but fun game' like Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Wonderful music, fun gameplay, stupid humour, and fun writing. Incredible work. Great video too!
Sunset overdrive is one of those games that teeters the over the top line so precisely, that it sometimes feels cringe and too much, and yet i am second guessing myself if its too much or not, and i can never make up my mind about it I absolutely love this game to bits and 100%-ing the game with every achievement was a joy from top to bottom and there was never a single point where it stopped being fun.
Yea ultimately I find my self second guessing my self. I plan to make a video my self on the game. I think the problem is that it ultimately is whacky and colorful but deep as a puddle! It’s a fun enjoyable experience but doesn’t really offer more in terms of writing and in gameplay!
@@B.Love88 Sure, but, thats fine. Not offering philosophies or thoughts is fine, as long as it doesnt pretend to. What i cant stand, is prententiousness, and im so glad Sunset Overdrive isnt that.
@@nemtudom5074 Yea I don’t think it has to offer something deep. I just think people want memorable characters or something to attach themselves too in-order to keep replaying. That is more or so my point. Did you enjoy the characters?
@@B.Love88 I mean, that depends on which question you're asking. I did 'enjoy' seeing them talk and act during cutscenes, it was fun, but they are beyond one dimensional. They dont have personalities, but they are just fun to have on screen They are more like fun VFX, than actual characters, and i think thats fine. If a game is not going to tell an actual story (beyond just bulletpoints that need to be strung together to facilitate progress), then its fine to have these tropes, as long as they are done in a tasteful and fun way. Tasteful, as in not mocking them I didnt 'enjoy' them in a, i relate to them way, since, again they are not really characters. Its hard to relate with a bunch of fancy visual effects.
If anyone else still plays this id be so happy to see a full lobby of Chaos Squad, this is a call to action to those who want to bring back Sunset Overdrive
8:12-8:19 i do this on my first playthrough in every Ratchet & Clank game i buy. I also did the same with the Phineas & Ferb PS3 game (another underrated gem)
I just bought SO on the steam sale and holy hell it gives me gives me the same feelings that Jet Set Radio did when I was a kid. We need games like this
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH. its a game thats just "Go fuck around, have fun, feel cool while travelling" As for clothing? I love the sheer amount of outfits you could combine. currently, my character is the buff gentleman who wears pink and blue only. Hes got wings, horns, goggles and with a kangaroo codpiece to finish. 🎉
i find new things in this game every time i come back to it. the city is also full of details everywhere. there are sloped rooftops that make you do the teaser trailer slide animation, i have only found one so far, but it exists. it's useless tho lol
Sunset Overdrive is a game that I've always wanted to try out but couldn't due to having only a PS4, maybe someday. One thing that this video did however is rekindle my desire for a new Resistance, I absolutely loved that series and think it could've evolved a lot more.
If you have a computer, you should check the minimum pc specs. Since it’s on game pass, you can subscribe to it for a month (and they do first month free a lot) and play it that way if you can! I remember the first one being very grey and not vibing with it that much, and couldn’t even tell you if I played the other 2. Definitely planning on revisiting at some point down the track though! I just put a poll up with it as an option for what I tackle next, so feel free to sub if you haven’t so you can see it and vote!
Honestly, this game is so much fun that i too, had only managed to upgrade like 4 of my weapons by the end of the game rolled around and i just grinded the rest and i enjoyed every moment of it, thats just how much fun this game is, that i spent 20 or something hours purely traversing the city and slaughtering enemies mercilessly for no reason
I wish that sometime Sony & Insomniac giving us the chance to play this game on PS4 and PS5 and maybe make a sequel first the franchise to PS5 and PC and XBOX Series X/S 🙏🏻
holy shit, you only almost have 1k subscribers? Got recommended this video and after fully watching it I realized that you arent a huge channel, which was extremely surprising. This is an awesome video! Cant wait for your future one's!
Yo thank you dude, I’ve definitely got small channel syndrome. I just try to make videos I would enjoy watching, no reason to not do it from the get go, but it’s just hard getting people to give it a go since my counts are so low. So thank you so much for giving it a go and helping me get to that first 1k! Hopefully you enjoy what’s coming 😊
The Sunset Overdrive wasn’t just a willy nilly exclusive deal with Xbox. Insomniac wanted to make their own game without losing the IP to the publisher. Sony always kept Insomniac close and helped fund the games, but the company didn’t acquire Insomniac & Insomniac didn’t own the popular IPs created by the incredibly talented studio.
Oh yeah I get that, Willy Nilly was tongue in cheek, insomniac got one of the best deals to do it and retain the IP despite making it exclusive for Microsoft. Cut to now though and Sony has acquired the studio and their IP including sunset overdrive, which according to them is not a priority anymore. Also since Microsoft owns the original game (despite not owning the actual IP) you would imagine it would be unlikely to see Sony develop a sequel for an xbox exclusive game without just trying to reboot it (like saints row for example)
@@HowGoodGames yeah, I don’t see them rebooting the franchise any time soon considering Insomniac is currently working on substantially more popular IPs at the moment. I just thought it should be pointed out so as not to create a false narrative. It would’ve been great to get a sequel on Xbox though, but hopefully Insomniac does something with the IP in the future.
I played this recently and trust me it's a great game with some flaws, but you'll enjoy everything and anything in it. This is one of those games that takes a lot of effort and perfect timing to make. I wouldn't even expect a sequel in 10 years time, but when it comes, I'll be happy to play it. Insomniac Rules.
That’s dude! I could honestly spend hours customising my look, and then it makes me want to play the game more so I can run around with it and see it in cutscenes
that game let me thought about buying a one to play it. i did not. in 5.23 i saw it in the store and bought it for xsx. it remembers me why i love them. such a great game, still today.
I maxed at a lot of my weapons Dirty Hary and record gun before I even did my first amp protection. Found it was the best way to make it easy against the first Herker with no deaths. If you get the Overachiever amp you just wack it on a gun that you dont use much like the Dude etc it will start levelling up. With a bit of grinding it makes the game a lot easier especially before you pick up the spread your love amp. It really depends on how you want to play the game Ive put over 200 hours into it and still find the gameplay and humour refreshing.
This game sold me on getting the Xbox One, i was debating with Bloodborne for ps4 but the second this trailer hit i knew which console i was getting. And i still love it. Maybe itll return someday!!... please??
Didnt even mention how kickass the 'surfer' punk rock soundtrack is tho. I literally downloaded the entire OST after playing this game. it got me into other punk rock altogether.
They did not sign a console exclusivity deal willy nilly. Insomniac wanted to own the IP, after basically no one would sign with them, microsoft was the only company willing to let insomniac keep the IP
Sunset overdrive is the definition of a banger and if there's one thing which I found funny it's that if insomniac ever makes a sequel to this they could totally make some cheesy spiderman references, especially with the main character in sunset and Spider-Man sharing the same voice actor
Maybe very loose references but Insomniac nor Sony owns Spiderman so they cant actually use Spiderman for anything except the one game Marvel allowed them to make.
Yeah, I would imagine it would definitely make the aiming better, but I found the slow mo when grinding was never really that slow, like it was negligible at best. Weapon wheel slow mo for combat is a big brain strat though, good stuff
Sunset overdrive is the most Ratchet and clank game since the PS2 era. Atleast until Rift apart. I dont hate the future trilogy, but, it didnt really stand out, and it didnt really feel like a ratchet and clank game, this does. We dont talk about the reboot.
I started off learning how to edit using powerdirector 365 and a bunch of RUclips videos and tutorials. Then I upgraded to premiere pro a few months ago and just did a LinkedIn learning course to teach myself that 😊 I think it was around going commando that I transitioned? Don’t remember 100% but around then
@@fat-gotenks this might be a big call, but I would argue its worth getting a cheap second hand xbox one if you don't have a pc to give it a go. Plus if you haven't used gamepass before you can normally get your first month free as well so it might not be like crazy expensive to make it happen!
I’ve had someone else ask as well, I put a poll up to get peoples thoughts on what I do next, so sub if you haven’t so you can see it and jump on and vote. I’d love to cover all of insomniacs games at some point, just a question of what comes next!
Probably, but the key difference for me is I've unfortunately never played Jet Set Radio. But if that fits too, then imagine I said Jet Set Radio instead of tony hawk every time
It not forgotten I don't think like I darn love the game and I want a 2 but this litter the first ever game I acutelly 100% and I have played 200+ games
I don’t think the game itself is forgotten, especially not by the people who played it, but it’s forgotten by people when talking about Insomniac games. Super underrated and I think if it had have come out on PlayStation it would be remembered very differently
I couldn't play senset overdrive because the characters looked like rockband avatars. From the 360 Ugly art really can put me off even if it's a good game
hahaha honestly such a good way to describe the look. I definitely agree, the hair and character faces leave a bit to be desired, but I had so much fun with the outfits, probably the most fun I've had since Watch Dogs 2 tbh just interms of the amount of expression and bonkers stuff you can do with it. If the rest of the art style doesn't do it for you then fair enough, otherwise if its just the character models, I'd recommend thinking of your main character as no more than a blank mannequin and its all about dressing it up
Thank you mate! And don’t worry everyone’s first videos will be lucky to crack even double digits for the first while, if you keep making stuff your audience will find you 😊
Yeah finding time is tough dude! I’ve had to give up any sort of social life and start my days at 630 now so it’s definitely not been easy, you just have to find the time in other areas. Good luck with your content bro!
@@HowGoodGames ye now I hear that I would rather have a different job lol. Although I have funny ideas, it’s my first time so editing that much memes will take a very long time. I like my ideas, but I’m ok with not executing them cuz I know they are way above my level of experience. Anyway have a good day, mate!
@@scorpionhdkid8972 Fair enough mate. This is my first time editing as well, I just did a course online to learn how but yeah, definitely has its ups and downs. You too mate!
1) they realized that ratchet 3 was heading in a 3rd person shooter direction so they had to change it 2) ratchet gladiator, amazing 3rd person shooter 3) sunset overdrive, elevated to the next level, peak insomniac 4) duuuhhhrhrr lets go back to ratchet and clank cinematic game and hire """professional""" writers hurrdrurr lmao they have one effed up big time. i expect ratchet to NEVER find the lombaxes, because it means they can extend its life for as long as they want and milk it for more money. the OG ratchet had no such ending/conclusion so it might as well have ended with gladiator. the new one though, people will keep buying no matter how BAD the game is because they want to see a conclusion
@paulbell3682 nah I don't like it then either, I totally understand why they exist, honestly I think it's mirical every game isn't an exclusive, if both consoles have the exact same games then what's the point of having 2 different companies, having said that, I still hate it, I want just 1 console that can play everything
@@eliottdewitt893That would result in the bigger company dictating the terms over everything then pushing the smaller companies to bankruptcy to control the industry

I finished it
Such an underrated game
Dude you’re telling me, just fun with a big fat exclamation mark
It's one of the best games I've ever played
Playing it now on PC game Pass again. Such a underrated Gem.
I loved this game so much. I really love the character customization.
Honestly I reckon I put about 20-30 minutes into it every 2 or so hours. So easy to just mess around in it

Judging by the recent Insomniac leaks, that will sadly not happen, even tho I'd love a Sunset Overdrive 2 or just a PS5 port of the game
They are making a big big mistake not releasing a sequel.
I'm actually replaying thus at the moment and, believe me, I rarely replay games. It's just pure fun.

Thank you for making this video
Playing it rn love it
I played it when I was seven (I'm now 13) and I love it
it's soundtrack may or may not influence my current music taste
Playing this right now, and its fantastic for a 10 year old game.
Dude fu** yea. Just picked this up a few days ago, and it's a hard reminder of what gaming at it's core (to me least) is. Just an absolute blast.
It’s video game: the video game and it’s basically just injecting fun straight into your eyeballs
Love this game and I loved this video! And dude, that Jak was spot-fucking-on!

0:55 To be fair, Spider-Man games existed before the first Ratchet & Clank game. They were just not made by Insomniac
This game sold me on getting the Xbox One, i was debating with Bloodborne for ps4 but the second this trailer hit i knew which console i was getting.
And i still love it. Maybe itll return someday!!... please??
If it returns it will be on PlayStation only
I find it funny that u mention deadpool when the main face used for advertising looks jist like Ryan Reynolds
The physics in this game were really fun. Wish the story was better though and there was more to do after beating the game.
Didnt even mention how kickass the 'surfer' punk rock soundtrack is tho. I literally downloaded the entire OST after playing this game. it got me into other punk rock altogether.
Yeah, the OST absolutely slaps, it was cool seeing how many artists they collaborated with to bring it to life
This game was actually the base for Spider-Man, so that's why that game feels similar to this
I forgot this game was made by insomniac
top 3 games for me
2:58 and not even a minute later he got decapitated
One of my favorites
They did not sign a console exclusivity deal willy nilly.
Insomniac wanted to own the IP, after basically no one would sign with them, microsoft was the only company willing to let insomniac keep the IP
But they kept the distribution rights, so unless Sony finally gets its head out his ass we won't get a sequel
I mean we got hifi rusuh in PS5 there is a chance we can get sunset overdrive
Sunset overdrive is the definition of a banger and if there's one thing which I found funny it's that if insomniac ever makes a sequel to this they could totally make some cheesy spiderman references, especially with the main character in sunset and Spider-Man sharing the same voice actor
You’re so right, with how it breaks the 4th wall, you could basically guarantee some sort of reference. Ahh maybe one day
Maybe very loose references but Insomniac nor Sony owns Spiderman so they cant actually use Spiderman for anything except the one game Marvel allowed them to make.

I even forgot I had this game bought on the Microsoft store lol.
The combat mixed with using the weapon wheel slow-mo is much better on mouse with auto-aim disabled.
Yeah, I would imagine it would definitely make the aiming better, but I found the slow mo when grinding was never really that slow, like it was negligible at best. Weapon wheel slow mo for combat is a big brain strat though, good stuff
Not part SpiderMan…. Part Jet Grind Radio.
Is the sunset overdrive 40 year old dude just their version of Bang’s CEO?
Sunset overdrive is the most Ratchet and clank game since the PS2 era.
Atleast until Rift apart.
I dont hate the future trilogy, but, it didnt really stand out, and it didnt really feel like a ratchet and clank game, this does.

This game is so fk good
duuuude. Right?
Neeeed this on PS
Have you had a chance to play it before?
@@HowGoodGames nooo I’ve never been a gamer on Xbox or pc :(
@@fat-gotenks this might be a big call, but I would argue its worth getting a cheap second hand xbox one if you don't have a pc to give it a go. Plus if you haven't used gamepass before you can normally get your first month free as well so it might not be like crazy expensive to make it happen!
the powerpuff girls reference was 👨🍳💋
What a show tho
can you talk about insomniacs Fuse
I’ve had someone else ask as well, I put a poll up to get peoples thoughts on what I do next, so sub if you haven’t so you can see it and jump on and vote. I’d love to cover all of insomniacs games at some point, just a question of what comes next!
Hi Fi Rush carries the spirit of Sunset Overdrive
Kinda, but it's completely different gameplay-wise
Bomb rush cyberfunk also, which I think captures the spirit of its inspirations the best of all 3 of these games
Looks more Jet Set Radio than Tony Hawk
Probably, but the key difference for me is I've unfortunately never played Jet Set Radio. But if that fits too, then imagine I said Jet Set Radio instead of tony hawk every time
It not forgotten I don't think like I darn love the game and I want a 2 but this litter the first ever game I acutelly 100% and I have played 200+ games
I don’t think the game itself is forgotten, especially not by the people who played it, but it’s forgotten by people when talking about Insomniac games. Super underrated and I think if it had have come out on PlayStation it would be remembered very differently
I couldn't play senset overdrive because the characters looked like rockband avatars. From the 360
Ugly art really can put me off even if it's a good game
hahaha honestly such a good way to describe the look. I definitely agree, the hair and character faces leave a bit to be desired, but I had so much fun with the outfits, probably the most fun I've had since Watch Dogs 2 tbh just interms of the amount of expression and bonkers stuff you can do with it.
If the rest of the art style doesn't do it for you then fair enough, otherwise if its just the character models, I'd recommend thinking of your main character as no more than a blank mannequin and its all about dressing it up
The gameplay for this game Is basically *Ratchet Deadlocked perfected*
I loved deadlocked, and it took me 3 goes at getting into this game. When it clicked though, it clicked hard
If only it emulated the wit and humor from that game too
eh, i like the skill based aiming, i like to move the camera and grow extra fingers out of nowere
Man U got twice as much as views on your video in 3 hours than my video in 6 months lol. Nice job mate
Thank you mate! And don’t worry everyone’s first videos will be lucky to crack even double digits for the first while, if you keep making stuff your audience will find you 😊
Thanks. But homework ain’t giving me a lot of time to record or edit
Yeah finding time is tough dude! I’ve had to give up any sort of social life and start my days at 630 now so it’s definitely not been easy, you just have to find the time in other areas. Good luck with your content bro!
@@HowGoodGames ye now I hear that I would rather have a different job lol. Although I have funny ideas, it’s my first time so editing that much memes will take a very long time. I like my ideas, but I’m ok with not executing them cuz I know they are way above my level of experience. Anyway have a good day, mate!
@@scorpionhdkid8972 Fair enough mate. This is my first time editing as well, I just did a course online to learn how but yeah, definitely has its ups and downs. You too mate!
11:03 "Insomniac basically gave us an early Spider-Man game"
Every Spider-Man game that released from the PS1-PS3 era: "Am I a joke to you?"
3:41 The message of the game is: Don't drink energy drinks. They are bad for you. Drink beer instead
Seeing a male protagonist in Sunset Overdrive feels always so wrong to me.... anyway the game rules and is one of my favorites. Would love a sequel.
1) they realized that ratchet 3 was heading in a 3rd person shooter direction so they had to change it
2) ratchet gladiator, amazing 3rd person shooter
3) sunset overdrive, elevated to the next level, peak insomniac
4) duuuhhhrhrr lets go back to ratchet and clank cinematic game and hire """professional""" writers hurrdrurr
lmao they have one effed up big time. i expect ratchet to NEVER find the lombaxes, because it means they can extend its life for as long as they want and milk it for more money. the OG ratchet had no such ending/conclusion so it might as well have ended with gladiator. the new one though, people will keep buying no matter how BAD the game is because they want to see a conclusion
This would have been peak if not for the insufferable writing, pretty odd considering the og Ratchet games were so effortlessly funny.
sunset overdrive totally deserves second chance for playstation
Dude it would do so well, especially inbetween Spider-Man 2 and wolverine
@@HowGoodGames don.t forget the wolf among us 2
I hate exclusives, bane of my existence
But not when its exclusive to your platform.
@paulbell3682 nah I don't like it then either, I totally understand why they exist, honestly I think it's mirical every game isn't an exclusive, if both consoles have the exact same games then what's the point of having 2 different companies, having said that, I still hate it, I want just 1 console that can play everything
@@eliottdewitt893That would result in the bigger company dictating the terms over everything then pushing the smaller companies to bankruptcy to control the industry
@@bamban_garcia5562 you say that like they ain't doing that right now
everything your hating on doesn't make a whole lot of sense and there aren't any flaws at all tf.
The writing is insufferably bad. I had to mute the characters to get through it
Because it was a Xbox exclusive. Sony controls the Media.
suck insomniac keep make spider man game because game sell well but not this game very sad
Insomniac Games cannot make sequels even if they wanted to because Micro hold publishing rights
Literally the best game on shit box, the only reason I got one😂
Hot take, I reckon it’s top 3 for Xbox exclusives. And I don’t think any halo gets a spot
