Sunset Overdrive 2

what did they mean by this?

they want sugar daddy company to front the costs for them, and act as insurance if they were to fail.

/thread

They're gonna go crawling back to Sony

I honestly fucking love that game, its idiotic but its great fun

The whole reason they went with Microsoft for Sunset Overdrive 1 was they wanted to retain the rights to the IP. When you cut a deal with Sony where they front the cost of the game and take all the risk, they retain IP rights
So right now they have the rights but no buyer so I wouldn't expect a sequel to ever happen.

Still a shame that Sony and Insomniac didn't work it out; an actual good quality AAA exclusive would've been good for the PS4 when you look back and see how barren 2014 was.

They need money because they can't afford to flop

They mean "the first didn't do too hot so MS have no interest in a sequel and since we want to keep the rights nobody else really wants to handle it either".

I think it was healthy for them. Continuing on shackled entirely to Sony out of fear is what led to them only working on two series for thirteen years. Getting some freedom has allowed them to branch out creatively and try new things, and good stuff has come out of it.

They can still collab with Sony on big projects - they're working on their second AAA PS4 exclusive now - but I'm really pleased to see a studio as solid as Insomniac try new things too.

pretty much this

>sunset overdrive
>good quality
lol

go for nintendo, it usualy works

...Are you a Nintendo drone?

That Insomniac are desperate whores. Which ironically gets them nowhere. Why did they leave Sony again?

What companies have done this? I can only think of Bayo 2

Actually, I could see Sunset Overdrive 2 happening on the Switch.

Bayonetta 2 user, they didnt had a publisher too.

Because resistance didn't do too well after the 2nd game and they already fucked up nu ratchet and clank

the guy that invented the montion controlers for the wii went for sony and microsoft before going to nintendo

Ninja Gaiden 3 and Devil's Third

oh yeah, THAT game, i remember seeing it in a magazine in 2013 1 month after the release of PS4 and Xbox one worldwide, so how is it? what's the genre? what do you do? is it good?

i heard that other than the cringe worth writing it was a fun game

It's almost as if making video games is expensive and Insomniac likely doesn't have the capital to fully fund a sequel on their own

I just assume they were going after jetset but with memes and super pop culture

oh yeah, sure, agreat game that sell shit, they are going to find another pubblisher to give the money to hired enough people when the rest of the studio is working on other 5 games at the same time....

Sheeesh

Sony and Insomniac are already working together again
Insomniac is about to have their biggest success yet, and Sony is publishing it
making a side deal Sunset Overdrive 2 after is entirely possible

There's no reason not to release the 1st game on ps4. They said MS didn't ask for exclusivity.

Yes, that's the function publishers serve.

What's the problem?

If you think they you cant develop something remotely AAA without the big pockets of a pubblisher you are dreaming, thing's are so bad today that nobody is looking the future of gaming without chest, DLC 100$ launch game or game for service bs to get the money to make soemthing profitably in this industry.

Insomniac is lucky to be alive after the last flop of this year the studio is huge and is making no money in the last years, they need all the help they can gat, Marvel Spider Man was a very lucky project from them.

>sequel to a game no played or cares about

nigga you crazy

Can't wait to play Spider-Man, the telltale experience.

This game is gonna flop, you can just feel it. I used to think Spiderman was eternal but everyone is already bored of him.

You shoot shit. It's alright. Super forgettable though.

they going to use images from the holocaust to outstage batman the telltale experience

absolute denial

>people thought this game looked good when it was announced

I didn't get it. It looked stupid as shit so I'm glad it was complete shit.

Those QTEs sure look enticing. It's 4 the players.

>I'm glad it was complete shit.
Wouldn't you need to play it to make that assessment?

They're Sony shitters. Of course they've never played it.

That they would like to make a sequel but need a publisher for it since they don't have the money for it on their own. You dumb ass motherfucker.

Not necessarily. I've never touched watch dogs but I know that game is absolute ass. Same with the division.

Homecoming did great though.

MS published the first one cause they saw it as an opportunity to score a free game and a hit on sony since insomniac was historically only making their games for playstation.

insomniac wanted to get other publishers to maintain rights to their IPs. (one was fuse and it SUUUUCKED)

sunset overdrive didn't sell THAT great and MS doesn't want to foot the bill, instead opting to just keep spamming halo/gears/forza like they have since 2006.

It means that their first game was published and didn't sell well so the publisher doesn't want to work with them again.
