Maybe they should Kickstart it for PS4/XBO/PC

To make a proper sequel I'm sure they'd need at the absolute least, something in the region of $15-$20 million. That would never fly through Kickstarter.

It's not unheard of for a Kickstarter to catch the eye of larger publishers, though.

Agree. They shouldnt waste their time with a forced sequel for this game.

Sunset overdrive had a cool aesthetic and pretty fun game play, but was ruined by being open world with terribly forced humor.

I really liked SS, and even enjoyed the humour, though in that laughing at, not with, sort of way. I do think the humour generally fit the aesthetic.

Couldn't really get into the first one myself. Even got it for free.

Day one if it happens.
Do it Microsoft!
Do it Microsoft!
Keep that opinion to your self. SO is one of the finest games this gen and the Xbox One's best game to date.

I wanted more SO even after the DLC. A sequel would make me so happy.

I'm guessing the situation is similar to what happened with Ryse, Microsoft will only fund a sequel if Insomniac sells the IP to them.
Though it wouldn't happen any time soon anyway, since Insomniac already have three games announced (Spider-Man plus two Oculus games) and Spider-Man's meant to have their biggest dev team ever.

Really enjoyed the game and everything about it even that cool little neogaf nod. The game was dumb fun and should of been taken as such. It was appeasing to play and look at. Please let this happen just hopefully it will get the attention it deserves this time.

I'm much more interested in Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank right now.

First they could port Sunset Overdrive 1 to PC then talk about sequel
Goodluck with that. It would've been out on pc by now if it was approved by ms.
The game bombed, there won't be a sequel. Insomniac is now back in bed with sony.
Fuck out of here with that. The game had a great sense of humor. SO has more personality than almost any other game. Hell, even the respawn and fast travel animations are hilarious.
SO is the videogame equivalent of Tom Hank's character from The Terminal. It's in an odd situation wherein multiple loopholes prevent it from coming to PC. Insomniac can't do it because the PC port right is with MS and Microsoft won't do it because it's not their IP and they have no obligation to grant Insomniac more avenues to make money.First they could port Sunset Overdrive 1 to PC then talk about sequel

Doubt it, MS were apparently less than impressed with the development troubles Crytek were having with Ryse, which is why they wanted to buy the IP from them.

would like to see a PC version first !
Don't force your bad taste on the rest of the forum. In my book it's the best Xbox One exclusive so far, and I'd play a sequel in a hot second.

SO2 isn't in development and Ryse is in the bushes somewhere, I'm curious to see if Microsoft has any new IP coming to coincide with Scorpio to fill those voids.

It won't really matter since everything of theirs is coming to PC now, too.
The game is all about traversal. It wouldn't work in linear levels.
Loved the first one, please let this happen at some point. Best traversal ever.

Do it, Insomniac. Sunset Overdrive is the Insomniac game I have enjoyed most since the PS2 days.

Microsoft doesn't seem interested in allowing IP to grow. They're more than happy to create/help create new IP, but they won't let it grow unless it sells gangbusters out of the gate.
What I find strange, is that they DID allow Forza Horizon to grow and now by the third iteration, it's really hitting it's stride both commercially and critically. I don't get why they don't do this wit other IPs.
Sunset Overdrive is definitely a franchise in the making if MS gives it a chance and Insomniac can address what was holding back the first game.

What does that have to do with them making new IP?
StrongBlackVine
Banned
It doesn't, but neither does Scorpio as it will not have any exclusive games so why would any new IPs coincide with its release? I'm guessing Scalebound and Crackdown 3 will launch around the same time as Scorpio. Maybe Sea Of Thieves too, but who knows what Hell is going on with that game.
People like you are the reason the GTA series lacks the charm that it had in the PS2 era.

Strange thing to say when they have released Song of the Deep, Edge of Nowhere, and are making The Unspoken and Feral Rites, and a new Spider-Man game. That's 4 new games before doing a sequel.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
It would still be a while away out if it does happen. Spider Man is being made by the team at Insmoniac that made SO IIRC.

Spider-Man is made by both of Insomniac's studios. "All hands on deck" I think was the phrase used.
I was gonna say why wouldn't they rather do Ratchet & Clank first as it was the more successful game, but then I remembered they have a bigger stake in Sunset Overdrive with the IP ownership.

Oh, I realize how that came out wrong. I was simply saying they don't need to time new IPs with Scorpio, they can release them anytime, especially with the Play Anywhere initiative

Nope. You can be funny without using cringey humour right out of 9GAG or r/funny

Because Scalebound has been know about for years now and Sea of Thieves might possibly already be out when E3 rolls around. All the rest of their games are sequels, its time to announce some new IP.
