The Greatest Open World Game You've Never Played

a game about sunsets should be cute right?
Sunset Overdrive is forever one of my favourite games of all time and it only felt right to make a video about it for you guys as it's truly something special.

Every time I click on a YT video for something I've apparently "never played" or "never watched"...it gurns out I played/watched that thing like 8 friggin' years ago.

[@zxphvr]

fr tho i was expecting an actual game i’ve never seen before - how this is touted as a game people have never heard of boggles me, it’s been regarded as a classic since it came out, only reason it didn’t stick around is cause there’s basically no point in replaying it endlessly once you finish it. which is absolutely fine too, i’m tired of the constant FOMO tactics employed by many studios nowadays

[@ColorMeDoubleZ]

@@zxphvr Anyone even slightly interested in games at the time knew about this, it was a leading Xbox one exclusive with rather loud marketing. But seriously everyone that played it knew it was a league above Ryse and Dead rising 3 (Killer instinct is fantastic, weak launch though) even most PS4 launch games. Are people gonna tell me Second Son was an "underrated masterpiece that i NEVER played" too? like damn sometimes art just has its time, we appreciate it then we move on to a new experience

[@Cloudshide]

This is basically what happens when youtube video-essayist becomes a cottage industry. I'll give the guy a dislike and move on.

[@EcardEcardian]

Yea. That is because the game didn't really have an impact on you. So you moved on and forgot about it.

[@BigPersonaInWonderland]

@@zxphvr The game technically failed from a sales perspective. Its more akin to a cult classic than a universally recognized game.

[@igui7521]

Bro at when u enter the game, your character, looks at you, smiles, and punches zthe screen to make a hole in the map, and also to the screen to be far enough to be able to play easily, recommend 100/10 this game, one of my fav of all time

[@p5rsona]

sunset overdrive is the epitome of underrated games. there are so many gems in this that we have yet to see adopted by other games. i think the key is the team just went for pure fun and went crazy with creativity and experimentation. now every game is trying to be a clone of whats been done (mostly souls games) and its a shame we will never see another sunset overdrive

[@Nxcturnalll]

it's a massive shame since the legal side of the IP is all over the place. It feels so tragically underrated in a world where so many open world games coming out today don't have as much content as this does 10 years later

[@ColorMeDoubleZ]

idk if I would call it "underrated" It was quite appropriately rated - It got 8s and 9s across the board. Even checking Metacritic 81 actually seems abit high imo. Pretty much everyone at the time that played it enjoyed the traversal but found the characters, writing/jokes, all the lore and world building just insufferable. Thats kinda where this games impact starts and ends. The Xbox one was lacking in tentpole quality exclusives a year in, Jet set radio but-with-guns and terrible writing was never going to sell or fill that void

[@Bambeakz]

It is just mid but the nostalgic flavor makes it looks better now

[@p5rsona]

@@Bambeakz not for me because i played it first time last year and on pc in 4k looked and played insane. you really do not see such creative and polished aaa games these days.

[@prarambh1589]

The only openworld game in which i didn't use fasttravel. Its way more fun griding and swings through the map. One aspect i loved that during combat performance tricks also increases damaged.

[@jameskeen1664]

“game you probably never played” literally the most marketed game ON THE RELEASE OF THE XBOX ONE. Every single trailer had something showing off sunset overdrive and for good reason the game was FUCKING AMAZING. Honestly think only the youngest of gamers hasn’t touched it yet

[@mattb8412]

True enough but we are talking about an exclusive on a platform that had around 1/4th of the market share at the time and not much overlap. By the time it became more available it was overshadowed by newer games. It was a great game, but it was in a little bubble so even for its generation it had far less people who played vs people who had.

[@daanstrik4293]

@@mattb8412and even then, the game was pretty generic If the humor didn’t work for you (as it didn’t for me) there’s nothing much here for you. I’ve heard some folk praise the movement system, but I find it pretty boring (probably due to its forgiving nature)

[@20cnVision]

I have never heard of it and neither have my friends. We're around 25.

[@PM4K]

I'm almost 26 and I just installed it from my steam library. I haven't played it because I had a PS4 10 years ago and I was too busy being the closest thing to a Destiny pro without being one. I'm one of those people who prefers Destiny Rise of Iron era and before more than Destiny 2 and after. It's too bad we can't play the game in that state anymore.

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

If it's only on Xbox, that's why I've never heard about it. The Xbox One was a failure of an announcement in 2013 and I don't care about Xbox at all.

[@zenerstorm95]

Oh I played this game CONSTANTLY when it arrived on Gold WAAAAY back in the day. Hell a few months ago I bought the DLC because I never actually played it and my god it was just great.

[@Nxcturnalll]

It's crazy how I never even knew there was DLC for it, I suppose the marketing just didn't hit me at the time. But for sure I've sunk so much time into it

[@balogunlikwid]

[@look-awaytv5975]

Oh really ? Thats Sad...

[@Golan_Vivaldi]

@@look-awaytv5975 It made Insomniac 567$ because they were hired by Microsoft at a royalty rate of 0%. That means Microsoft paid for the development upfront with 43 million dollars. The game made 50 million, hence - 7 million dollars in profit for Microsoft. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft is one of the shittiest companies in existence, but it's disingenuous to claim the game only made 567$.

@@look-awaytv5975 a Reddit post I read said that insomniac was contracted to make it so it’s not really true they made more than 567 apparently Microsoft paid them like 40 mil or something to make the game but insomniac had incredibly low royalties which is the 567 but this might be false as the Reddit post never listed sources

[@Delicashilous]

The last real insomniac Game with a Crack in Time (and into the Nexus, what is More like a DLC for A crack in time). Edit: I still like the Atmosphere & Gameplay of the R&C Games that came after that, but man, did the new director & writer of Rift Apart assassinated Ratchets Character, and reduces with him the whole Story, Dialouge, and most other characters to a one dimensional, superficial written Fiasco. Into the nexus made clear Ratchet was done with trying to find the lombaxes, he was happy with clank & talwyn. He wasn't insecure being "worthy" or not when he would face the lombaxes, like rift apart tries to tell us. It's more in into the Nexus he was unsure if It's EVEN NECESSARY to meet them. Ratchet learned & was confident with himself, but in Rift Apart he seems like an incecure teenage girl, constantly worried, what is Completely off-character. In the ps3 Games he had of course certain worries, but he remained confident and ready for Everything, but in Rift Apart they made his CHARACTER "worry" itself. If the OG writers would write rift apart, he most likely would just want to get over with it in a stoic & confident way. He wouldn't try to find the lombaxes, because he is confident in not searching for them. He is happy with his life. It's even stated the lombaxes DON'T want to be found. So, the only way you can finally finish the "lombax arc" is by forcing them to meet ratchet, through the plot, and rift apart kind of gave us at least a decent role model in that regard, even thou the Execution lacks HUGE Quality. Kaden (ratchets father) should have been replaced with rivet. He is assumed dead, but such a significant character deserves to be shown, and that would most likely motivate Ratchet in meeting the other lombaxes, after he meet his father. But yet, again, sony OWNS insomniac since 2019. Insomniacs studio is in the Headquarter of sony California. One of the biggest shareholders of Sony is Blackrock, and they admited "the narrative is more Important than Money" or "we from Blackrock we're forcing behaviors." The OG Director & writer weren't involved in rift apart.

[@laterferaligatr2947]

Immediately recognized Sunset Overdrive from the font used in the thumbnail, so I've definitely played it. Plus I've loved Insomniac since Spyro and Ratchet and Clank

[@TheDanteBoots]

Been waiting on a sequel for years. Real shame they're stuck working on Spiderman.

@@Sin_Alder well firstly, it's a pretty subjective term if you wanna be a sarcastic douche and nitpick about it. Secondly, it is pretty well known that this game flew under the radar and was underrated. I mean it's literally in the title of the video bud.

[@MarioGoatse]

Watched this video 2 days ago, and been playing it since. Can’t believe I missed this. It’s so fun. It’s genuinely one of the funniest games I’ve ever played too. Game humour is often extremely cringe, but this is hilarious. The guns so far are very fun. They all have really cool and interesting twists. I don’t love the aiming, but you get used to it. I’d love to see more graphics settings, but it’s an old game, so what can you do. It runs fantastically on my 3080 12GB and 7600x, at a mostly solid 120fps even at 4K. The story isn’t deep, obviously, but it’s good enough to make you care about what you’re doing, and that’s enough for me. It’s good solid entertainment. I can definitely recommend it, and I’m glad I watched this! Thanks bro

I played it back in the day and recently bought it again for like £3.60 on steam. It's aged shockingly well.

[@ashtonparmley4265]

Ah yes. Sunset Overdrive is finally getting the recognition it deserves. One of my favorite games of all time yet I can’t really talk about it with anyone because most people haven’t even heard of the game. I first played through the game Christmas Day when I got my Xbox one. I played through the whole story that day. It was so fun. Spent the next few days leveling up my guns. But I didn’t finish. Some time a couple years after that I came back to the game and beat it again and basically 100% including the DLCs that had come out besides getting all collectibles and maxing out badges. Even after doing all that already, this video got me debating playing it again. That’s really how good this game is. How fun it is. Great game and a great video!

[@Naedlus]

It had only been hyped during its launch on the XbOne. When they finally released it for PC, it got only a few days of hype, but, well, I'm guessing that it wasn't enough to get popular streamers and 'tubers to hype it up then. I'm just glad that MS didn't keep the IP with their production deal. Sony/Insomniac can return to the IP. The only questions would be about releasing the original on Sony hardware, and seeing how both Sony and MS are embracing multiplatform to some degree or another these days, I wouldn't see it being out of question for Sony to release the original on their own hardware, and possibly open the door to sequels in the future depending on demand.

[@blobgobber7395]

Insomniac Games are immensly talented and while I will always love their Spider-Man games, Sunset Overdrive has a special place in my heart.

It's a game that is almost perfect for any scenario. sliding from rail to rail in sunset city is just so relaxing.

Sunset Overdrive is brilliant. Sadly nobody played it, the traversal alone was better than most other games outside of Jetset Radio, spider-man, etc. The weapons were also very unique and had that Ratchet and Clank energy. It was also a very meta game, more so than Deadpool. I feel like if they remastered it, the game would do really well.

[@dmytrosoboliev935]

I played it 2 years ago for the first time and it was a blast of a game. Crazy dynamics, great choice of weapons, excellent combat, funny characters, good music. It was easily one of the best xbox exclusives ever made. And an irony is that it was made by Insomniac games :)))

the greatest problem here is "xbox exclusive" this this usually make for games falling into irrelevancy

[@MAWRK69]

Most underrated game ever bless you for this vid

[@noezaragoza325]

is it just me or does this sunset overdrive remind you of Jetsetradio?

[@blueface4007]

This is one of my, if not my favorite game in the world. It's got everything I look for in a game, humor, action, insane gameplay and an interesting story. The gameplay definitely carries the game and if you aren't into comedy (then who are you and why are you even here) then this isn't the game for you. It's everything a kid with ADHD could wish for! Edit: Did I mention the music? It slaps! I never listened to much punk or rock before this game but It got me into the world of rock, punk, EDM and Metal.

The new generation of gamers may never get to playing this gem

[@F1llm0reSl1m]

Easily one of my favorite games ever. It just oozes with fun and flavor and creative expression. It's criminal that it never got a sequel! Time to fire up the old xbox and replay it!

[@Haj-Ze]

I got this game bundled with my Xbox one and i loved it

[@VI_Yai_iV]

I’ve always seen this game on game pass but never bothered to download. After watching your video I’m going to give it a try

[@feritayranc7826]

For some reason I wasn't completely sold on how you presented this game to me, and it really felt like you were talking big about everything, even the little details that are just ok. 8:06 cemented that fot me, because that is 100% the reason Ubisoft open world games are shitted on. Hundreds of collectibles just spread around the open world. How you took that and made it into a segment where you explained what the collectibles were (shoes and baloon mascots) and tried to make it sound amazing is quite funny tbh. Like Im not saying the game or the video isn't good, but overblowing the normal details shadows your statements about the actual great parts like traversal I think.

[@Dalaxer]

played through this one earlier this year, seen it on game pass. thought it was a pretty great game

[@kylewagenaar5786]

I played sunset overdrive at launch on my Xbox One.

[@Mark-fo6hz]

this needs an mmo.. yeah, the movement in a shooter game will really change the somewhat boring shooting each other face to face style of combat.. i always want games to have more dash and s but most multiplayer shooter are still stuck in the old counter strike era, even valorant is still cs in many ways

[@marosipeterjunior9234]

I played it it was awesome played through The whole game and it is one of my favourite games ever

[@netapel2625]

I saw the letter font on the thumbnail and immediately understood this was Sunset Overdrive. Iconic.

[@RuzakyNOD]

Need port to playstation

[@A-Duck]

Hold up there chief. No, it didn't fade into obscurity due to the markets taste for realism. Generically "realistic" games were already grating on everyone's nerves long before Sunset Overdrive even began it's marketing campaign, and the hunger for games outside that stale category was as ripe then as it is now. In fact, Sunset leveraged that growing dissatisfaction IN their own marketing campaign. The real reason it fell off, which you can actually see on full display in said marketing, was it's unbearably smug "hey fellow kids!" corporate design aura. Sunset Overdrive was arguably one of the earliest examples of the modern variation on AAA publishers self-styling as hip/trendy, which is presently associated with Hero Shooter copycats. It's the same energy. The most recent entry to this stinky poopoo club being... I've actually forgotten it's name, which is hilariously apt so I'm keeping it in the comment instead of looking it up. The Sony one, you know what I mean. Anyway, that's why it evaporated from everyone's minds so quickly - it reeked of big corpo money wearing the freshly harvested oily skin of a punk teenager.

[@ColorMeDoubleZ]

Titanfall was a fun, against-the-grain movement shooter in a time when those were becoming rare (also released before Sunset OD) and wasn't *so* annoying about it.

[@ilikeyourjacket]

They had the MELVINS in this game!?!?
