As promised, Microsoft & Insomniac Games released a making-of (sort of) live action trailer for their upcoming open world, third-person shooter video game, Sunset Overdrive.
“If there’s ever been a game that couldn’t be translated into a live-action trailer, Sunset Overdrive is that game.
With its unique blend of hyper agility and inventive weaponized destruction, Sunset Overdrive is the one game that would be disastrous to attempt to make real. So that’s what we did.”
“Some of you may have heard that Insomniac Games and Xbox have been filming a live action trailer to promote the upcoming Xbox One exclusive, Sunset Overdrive, explains Microsoft.
Over the past several months, the team put together an extensive production crew, drafted an array of storyboards and scripts, and created realistic costumes, props and backdrops to replicate the colourful scenery from the game.
Insomniac Games and Xbox’s end-goal was to bring the humorous and over-the-top elements of Sunset Overdrive’s Awesomepocalypse to life, showcasing the games’ unconventional weapons, ferocious mutants and tongue-in-cheek satire. However, Sunset Overdrive proved to be too crazy and insane for anything real-life.”
Summary:
“Welcome to your Awesomepocalypse. The city’s overrun with mutants. Problem? Not for you. Sunset Overdrive is a playground of post-apocalyptic possibilities.
Vault, grind & wall-run while using a deadly & unconventional arsenal. With hyper-agility, unique weapons, & customizable abilities, it rewrites the rules of shooters while delivering an irreverent adventure.”
Sunset Overdrive will be released on October 28, 2014 exclusively for Xbox One.
