Sunset Overdrive – First Gameplay Footage, Screenshots & Details

Microsoft Studios and Insomniac Games have released the first gameplay footage for the highly anticipated new IP that will be exclusive to the Xbox One; Sunset Overdrive.  It’s hard to exactly pinpoint what kind of game Sunset Overdrive really is, depending on what recent preview you’ve read, some will describe it as kind of like Infamous, Jet Set Radio, and Tony Hawks with guns.  The fact that Sunset Overdrive can’t exactly be described is a key reason to why gamers are getting so excited, because it’s truly something new.

One thing’s for sure, this game is colourful, vibrant and looks absolutely beautiful.  Take a look at the first gameplay footage for Sunset Overdrive below and let us know what you think of this new IP.

Also as an added bonus, a big batch of gorgeous screenshots and concept images has been released. Treat your eyes and feast upon these luscious images below.

When Sunset Overdrive releases for the Xbox One at the end of this year it will come as a ‘Day One Edition’.  Which much like the Xbox One console and games at launch; it will come with some bonus DLC content.

Coming from XboxWire.com, below are details and images for the Day One Edition of Sunset Overdrive:
