I won’t lie to you: This job isn’t exactly easy. But it does have perks, such as your hair going grey early and playing the latest games a little bit earlier than everyone elseso that you can get a review out in time for launch day. We’re busy with one such game right now, Sunset Overdrive. And we need your help on this one.
Or to be more precise, I need your questions for the video review. As you know by now, I’ve changed the format of our regular video reviews: namely, condensing the game into ten questions that are answered and thus sum up the gaming experience in total. Now I’ve got a bunch of questions ready for Sunset Overdrive, but as usual, I’d like to hear from you guys.
After all, I do these reviews for you and it is your money on the line when you check the mighty interwebs for opinions. So drop me some questions in the comments below or in the YouTube video, and if I like what I read I’ll forget to credit you and steal your rather good question. Actually, not that. That would be bad. Bad Darryn, bad.
We’ll have our Sunset Overdrive review ready for you guys next week. Stay tuned!

Is this the game that would want to make me buy an XBox one? I’ve got a PS4 and I’m more than happy with it. So far I haven’t really seen anything or an exclusive that would want to make me buy an XBox one. When I played Splatoon at rAge I enjoyed it so much I have added the Wii U to my list for Christmas for the family. The game has definitely sold me the Wii U and I have only started taking note of other games on the Wii U now.

If Ps4 outsells Xboxone for a few more months I believe the sequel will be multiplatform .

Best XB1 exclusive I have on my console atm is Forza Horizon 2. It’s fantastic.

I’m not huge into racing games so Forza 2 doesn’t do it for me

Does the game constantly give you new reasons to keep playing? I’m very nervous that this game won’t have longevity.

Playing Destiny has made me realize co-op can be fun. Tons of fun. How many co-op modes will this have if any? How many players will it support in a session? Will there be PVP because that would be insane.

Speaking of Destiny and one of the pet complaints about it is the repetitive missions. How repetitive is Sunset Overdrive?

About as repetitive as the ice-cream van’s song in summer.
Hold on; are ice-cream vans still a thing?

Is it fun?
How long does it stay being fun for?
Assuming a months worth of play (life willing) should cost about R300,00 is it worth the cost?

Is it OverHyped?
Am I a bad reviewer and journalist?
Is Geoff a bad driver?

Is there a discharge?

If there is what is it doing there?

And is it salty?

Or vinegary?

Is the price tag on the game worth it? I mean Shadows of Mordor is keeping me busy for a long time. 24 hours in and only 63% complete.
This game should, no, have to keep me busy for at least 2 weeks on single player alone.

Does the art direction suite this kinda open world mayhem?

1. Is this the spiritual successor to mirrors edge that we have all being waiting for?
2. What is the motivation for the various creatures to attack you, did you sleep with their mother, are you really tasty, did you maybe inadvertently destroy their home planet?
3. Are those pink panties that were in that picture you posted really uncomfortable due to the lack of space in the front?
4. Is this a social commentary on the state of the US current economical climate with specific reference to the influences of China, discuss?
5. There is no question 5.
6. Can you customize the female characters to have really big breasts, and if so does this make you feel guilty due to misogynism in games?

Is this game a reflection of the real state of world’s emotional maturity due to our blind adoption of capitalistic commercialism and immoral popular culture?

Does it move? If yes, should it move? If yes, then it is ok, if no then use Q20.
Does it move? If no, should it move? If no, then it is ok, if no then use duct tape.

Did this game make you forget about Fuse? And how would you rate Insomniac now after this?

1. What are shooting mechanics like ala Halo, Timesplitters, bit more modern warfare (I doubt it).
2. I would say story but we all know that ain’t the main reason to play it.
3. Is there a levelling system? And what does it do…or is it an arbitrary thing just to say we have it.
4. Online?
5. Hoard mode? Seems perfect for one.
