Sunset Overdrive
Yesterday, we told you all about the customization options discussed at the Insomniac San Diego Comic Con panel. Today, Microsoft dropped off a trailer showing the style in action (including the now infamous kangaroo codpiece).
As we mentioned yesterday, clothing options come from three groups: mainstream, street, and costume. They are entirely aesthetic and confer no bonuses whatsoever.
Insomniac wanted to make sure that people were free to wear what they wanted, without the pressure of equipping different gear for stat reasons. The amps help fill in the combat customization aspects, as we’ve started to see in other videos.
In addition to gender, skin tone, and race, Sunset Overdrive will allow players additional levels of customization. There are different body types, so expect to see a diversity of characters running around. Hairstyles (like clothing) have physics applied to them, which means that crazy 80s rocker hair will move naturally as you're swinging through the city.
You’ll be able to mix and match their for your own look or use outfit presets if you prefer to match. For more on Sunset Overdrive, check out a recent preview. For more info on customization, check out our rundown of the San Diego Comic Con panel. Sunset Overdrive is out on October 28 for Xbox One.
