00:04It's a week before E3 and all through the office, insomniacs were stirring just like a crawfish.
00:12Hello and welcome to Sunset TV, I'm Brandon Winfrey and this is a show on the internet.
00:17Sunset City, great property value, pedestrian friendly, currently filled with mutants.
00:21I said this a couple weeks ago and I'll say it again, but when we built Sunset City,
00:25we really wanted to feel different from other open world games.
00:28But originally it didn't, it was flat and to be honest, it was pretty boring.
00:32But we had a game jam and one of our designers actually took it upon himself to create a diorama
00:36representing how he felt Sunset should be built.
00:39And it was kind of this crazy urban environment that was built with multiple levels and almost
00:43a mashup of natural and man-made elements.
00:46And this Neo-Tokyo Tekken Concrete vibe, well it kind of infected the team and we took that core idea
00:51and just fleshed it out throughout the entire city.
00:53So now when you play, you can see different vertical planes in the environment
00:56and we like to think of each of these as small playgrounds.
00:58And if you're in a higher one and you fall off, you'll simply be in the playground below it.
01:02It's very stair-like and we don't want to punish you for falling, so you're only just a few
01:06bouncies from the next level.
01:07However, that doesn't mean there's not difficulty involved.
01:10We like to think of the street as a beginner's level, so that's just mostly grinds and bouncies
01:14and all that jazz.
01:15But the higher up you go, the more you're going to have to combo your traversal and utilize your
01:18wall run in order to get around.
01:20So don't suck.
01:22That gong means it's time to clear the way for an important ancient official and email.
01:26Mario asks, what kind of side quests can we expect from the campaign mode?
01:30For a lot of the side quests in Sunset Overdrive, you're going to be helping out characters around
01:34the world.
01:34I mean, they're surviving just like you, so give them a hand.
01:37But this is the awesome-pocalypse, so it's usually in an outrageous way.
01:41Plus, with each of these, you're going to get more narrative.
01:43They either give you more backstory on Fizco or you can kind of explore characters in various factions.
01:48But if you're morally opposed to storytelling, you're going to get rewards like cash, amps,
01:52and vanity items as well.
01:53What are you doing next Wednesday night?
01:55Okay, how about you don't do that and come to the Sunset Overdrive event instead?
01:58From 6 till 9 at the Century City Microsoft Store, we're going to give you all the chance
02:01to be the first fans to get hands-on with Sunset Overdrive.
02:05Plus, you'll get overcharged and meet insomniacs on the team.
02:07I'll be there.
02:08No one's going to come now.
02:09Thank you so much for putting up with me today on Sunset TV.
02:12As always, shoot your questions to sunsettv at insomniacgames.com.
02:16I would love to answer them on air or ignore them completely.
02:19Subscribe because next week is all about E3.
02:22And let me tell you, chaos is coming.
