Rumor: Xbox One Exclusive “Sunset Overdrive” May Come To The PC According To An Online Ad

Rumor alert everyone. According to an online ad – spotted by NeoGAF‘s member ‘Lucifon’ – Sunset Overdrive may come to the PC. As we can clearly see in the following ad, Sunset Overdrive is – at least advertised as – coming exclusively to Xbox One and PC.

Insomniac Games has not confirmed anything but since we got both Dead Rising 3 and Ryse: Son of Rome, we wouldn’t be surprised to actually get this title too on our platform.

Still, we strongly suggest taking it with a grain of salt.

You can find a screenshot from that online ad below. Naturally – and if this a real leak – do not expect to see Sunset Overdrive on the PC for a couple of months.

Let’s also don’t forget that Insomniac Games is experimenting with Unity 4.5 and the PC platform. And since Sunset Overdrive’s IP is owned by them, we won’t be shocked to see this game hitting the PC.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

  1. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came to PC. I believe the dev’s were asked about a PC version and the answer they gave was “no plans for that right now” with the keyword there being “right now”. Give it a few months and I bet we see it.

    The game itself looks like it might be some good mindless fun, so I’m hoping we do get it and that it’s not locked at 30fps like some of these other garbage ports popping up.

    1. well they own the ip, wtf are hey gonna do with it? Propably he same as ryse and dead rising 3, but if the game sells well i doubt they will do a pc version, those 2 didnt.

  2. Im not really interested in either console and this isnt really my type of game, but I have to say it looks more fun than anything on or coming to the PS4.

        1. True, but you can say that about any game, just giving examples of games that will be highly regarded next year.

          1. Honestly dark souls is insanelly overrated and has a small but very dedicated user base. It doesnt worth its ratings but its a hard game with a dedicated fanbase. If you are one of them, then bloodborne is the next big thin, if not, then no one gives a damn nor you ever buy it.

            Its not like there is any shortage of those games, the dlc for dark souls 2 came a while ago and then there is lord of the fallen which i think will be better than bloodborne atleast in story and animations/combat/polish.

          2. Dark souls is a flawed masterpiece, but i wouldn’t say it is overrated. Demon souls revolutionized online play, and like dark souls had a great lore, fantastic level design, great music, atmosphere a large variety of weapons and amours each with their own move sets and feel, and expereinces you can’t get in normal games.

          3. “, but i wouldn’t say it is overrated.”

            The graphics, the animations,the story, those things dont justify 91 on metacritic.

            “fantastic level design,”

            It may look good but its not very functional eg the crytal caves were downright riddiculus.

            ” a large variety of weapons”

            Ehhh, its a rpg with sword stuff atleast blooborne has mroe interesting weapons.

            “expereinces you can’t get in normal games.”

            No there arent many games that are hard and you fight oversized enemies and die by unexpected trasp

            Severance a game on pc used to be like that. Before demons souls they made kings field, those games were hard but fair if you paid attention you could notice the traps, the dark souls games are just trolling the player with traps and the creator has admited he is kidna of a maschohistc, however that word is spelled.

          4. Ehh graphics and animations don’t really matter that much to me, plus there are mods is your into that kinds of things. People have entire channels dedicated to the souls story, so people clearly enjoy it.

            Level design, isn’t about looking good, it’s about having complex maze like design and a connected world, which dark souls had in plenty in the beginning of the game. The last chapter was clearly rushed, and hence why it is a very flawed game.

            A large variety of weapons, compared to a game like skyrim where each weapon felt the same, the souls games have different weapons with different move sets, stats, feel, and few even have special range attacks.

            PVP is also really fun, though obviously very unbalanced, and to be fair it was never meant to be balanced especially in invasions.

            Sure dark souls is a “hard” game and not nearly as challenging as most people make it out to be, but the sense of accomplishment from boss fights and the sense of dread and victory you get from invasions are pretty hard to replicate in other games. For me anyway. Obviously not completely fair, since no game is. Idk think Miyzaki ever said he was a masochistic, though he happily said he was a troll 🙂 . If you pay attention in dark souls for the most part you can predict all the traps, though there really aren’t that many. Dark Souls is a very flawed game, but what it tries to accomplish I really appreciate, and hence why it is my favorite game of all time.

          5. Oh I thought far cry 2 was the much better game, sorry it’s hard for me to explain a flawed game like dark souls online I guess.

          6. I liked far cry 2 becaue it was a game that you could do what you want, eg fire a jam a c4 on a truck and ram it on a base then steal their vehicles, the ai wil hunt you down with the vehicles you put c4 on and you can blow it up.

            Or fire explosive arrow and when it detonates everyone goes there to investigate and you sneak around them

            it had freedom none of these scripted bs that we get today. Very repettive but that was so you could try all the diffirent things, obviosuly they should have improved the campaign but it kinda clicked for me.

            The reason dark sousl doesnt click for me is becaue i dont like the graphics, i dont like the animations, i dont like the combat system and the feel of it i dont like the setting. ETC ETC. Bloodborne has a better setting but i dont like these fighting animations, lord of the fallen looks better in my opinion.

            I never was much for games like this i always prefered the likes of dmc and god of war and mostly games with guns.

          7. Yeah I liked Far cry 2 for the same reasons. That and I hated Far cry 3 story.

            IDK, half the things you said about why you hated dark souls is why I love it. Still don’t get what’s wrong with animations, but to each their own I guess. DMC and god of war are completely different from the souls games, much faster combat.

      1. Bloodborne? OK, since Darksouls is popular and God of War animation cancelling is so streamline these days, almost any game coming for PS3 and PS4 is about hitting buttons like an idiot and then pressing L1 to make your char to roll over the floor, or making another linear game with many, MANY cinematic cuts.

        1. Wouldn’t really say dark souls is popular, and i-frames have being around for a while. Plus what other big ps3 and ps4 games have games that heavily rely on i-frames? L1? Dark souls is anything but linear, and very very few cinematic cuts.

    1. Seems like the gameplay is very close to Infamous, and although the art styles are different, I prefer the realistic art style of Infamous. I had Sunset pre-ordered up until last week, I love Insomniac but there is just too much on my gaming plate right now.

  3. Sweet, was hoping they’d plan a PC release, know this is a rumor but really hope it’s true, haven’t bought Dead Rising 3 or Ryse yet but this will probably be a day one release

    1. Insomniac hasn’t made a PC version of any game in the 20 years they’ve been making games.

      It’s good to have a balance of PC/Xbox games but Xbox needs AAA exclusives to regain consumer loyalty. That’s why this doesn’t even sound legit at all.

      MS also owns Quantum Break. So sadly it’ll probably never hit PC unless they announce a PC version somewhere near launch. If it launches without any mention, it isn’t happening.

      1. «Xbox needs AAA exclusives to regain consumer loyalty» is something Microsoft doesn’t understood yet…

        1. Yeah, and look at GTA5 for PC…denial, denial, denial….release date.
          I think the chance of Sunset coming to PC is very high, after all, not much needs to be done to port to PC these days.

          1. It was more like ‘no comment’ with GTA V, only peasants thought it wouldn’t come to PC. They obviously don’t know much about gaming as GTA’s have come to PC later every time.

        2. Difference is Remedy said they’d do a PC port when they could… Insomniac hasn’t said anything.

          Do you live under a rock? Denial suck?

          1. wtf why the attitude? We are discussing a possibility, personally I don’t even care about Overdrive.

          2. Well I’m just being straight and I don’t like the Joker pic you have (I love the Joker and he’s such an ecstatic character).

            I just feel the possibility is quite slim based on the facts.

      2. The problem is that xbone exclusives arent selling that good, maybe microshit can save for themselves Halo and Forza, but companies needs to sell game units and their games are not doing good as XBONE exclusives.

        1. You’re so simple minded it’s not even funny….

          Xbox brand is making profits… That’s all that MS investors care about.

          And how are they making profits?
          Selling hardware
          Selling Xbox Live gold subscriptions
          Selling games

          Titanfall sold well
          FH2 is selling a lot better than Horizon 1.
          MS believes in SSO enough to put it in the white bundle over MCC.
          DR3 sold 1.4 Million units in 5 months
          Ryse/Forza 5 sold over 1.5 million in the same time.

          Really think before you talk crap.

          1. And if Satya has his way, Xbox will be the next MS division to get sold off. You seem pretty up on the new reports and that one can hardly be denied.

          2. I don’t think you know what MS is planning on selling off… You’re taking a few things out of context…Satya is fully behind Spencer and Xbox.

            Cloud is his major push and Xbox is a good way to get that demonstration to a larger audience.

            But thank you for proving you’re heavy in denial and out of date. Congrats kid.

          3. Oh so now you want to get insulting? Are so entrenched in defense-mode that you can’t even entertain a discussion without reverting to immaturity?

            “The divisions that sell the Xbox, Surface, and Windows Phone devices, they practically contribute nothing. Computing and Gaming (C&G) Hardware, which makes the Xbox and the Surface, had a gross margin of 1% for the quarter.” (AUG 2014)

            “Two of the company’s six business units — Devices & Consumer (D&C) Licensing and Commercial Licensing — generated 68% of the
            company’s total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 and 93% of its gross margin” <— NOT XBOX.

            Finally, Satya puts it firmly:

            "We are a software company at the end of the day."

            Since I can quote facts and your comments are just full of fanboy conjecture, I think we can all see who is "in denial and out of date".

            So much for your "Xbox brand is making profits… That's all that MS investors care about" theory. Idiot.

      3. Well think about this for a moment, console only gamers don’t care about what is happening on PC. Now if a PC gamer wants to play console “exclusives” he buys a console to play those exclusive games but still does 95% of all his gaming on PC as multiplatform games run , look better while costing less on PC because PC is an open platform so no one is charging developers license fees.
        Now the ONLY reason Microsoft funds an “exclusive” title is to advertise and sell their XB1 console so gamers buy the console and then buy all the multiplatform titles on that console. See MS and Sony make their profits by selling multiplatform developers license fees that allows them to make games for their consoles. So Microsoft takes a 50% cut from the sales of all multiplatform titles on XB1. They don’t make any profit selling the actual console hardware which is sold at a loss and funding a big exclusive title and limiting it’s potential sales by locking it down to one platform doesn’t really make profits either. The average exclusive sells around 5 million copies, some really big ones sell 12 million while others only 2-3 million. Now remember when Square was unhappy about the profits from the 5 million selling Tomb Raider?.
        So the only business sense in locking a massive title to only one platform is in an attempt to advertise and sell that platform so that more gamers buy it and buy multiplatform titles which Microsoft take a 50% cut from right?.
        Well PC gamers buying an XB1 just to play XB1 exclusives while continuing to buy everything else for PC doesn’t benefit Microsoft at all. Microsoft however make nearly ALL their money from selling Windows operating systems to PC users so have a vested interest in PC doing well right?.
        So it’s in Microsoft’s best interests to have share exclusives between XBOX and PC because you are doubling the potential customer base which means that more people will buy these exclusives making them less costly to fund so they can afford to be more ambitious with them and fund more of them which is a win for XB1 gamers , more exclusives and better funded exclusives.
        Meanwhile Microsoft wins as it has something more substantial to offer PC gamers in an attempt to get them to pay for a whole new version of Windows.
        Have you heard how XB1 is moving to Direcxt12 API even though Phil Spencer has said it won’t make a dramatic difference to quality of visuals or performance on XB1?. Well those new XB1 exclusives may be using Direcxt12 and the only way PC gamers can use Direcxt12 is by upgrading to Windows 10, so I think MS are using exclusives to sell XB1 to console gamers and Windows10 to PC gamers

        1. you mad xbox fanboy?

          Just ditch your console and get a pc you are on the lossing side, might as well ascend to the pc master race.

          1. With all the preparation to move to Windows 10 and port Halo MCC and Sunset Overdrive. It’s clear even Microsoft thinks PC is the master race now. Consoles are a dead scene and it’s going to hit hard once Sony puts another stinker of a quarter in next week.

          2. if ms simply supported pc gaming, they would kill sony but they still have people on the xbox division. For crying out loud ms, get those people to work on dx12 and make games exlusive to pc, corporate with valve and make those games windows exlusive.

            They will make a killing. They thought that with the expensive business decisions on xbone they gonna finally make profit on the xbox division and turn it around. Nope, just ditch the thing, then again if ms ditches xbone sony will go ps3 launch on us since they got no competition. I feel sorry for the ponies who think sony are the good guys and they have done no wrong.

            In the meantime they think sony will provide alot of AAA exlusives, san mateo said that yoshida was talking about AAA games in general when he said that ps4 will have less AAA and not exlusives, but if anything that statment proves ps4 will have less AAA exlusives since sony finacials are awful and they sure as h3ll wont bring more exlusives to ps4 now.

    1. They already showed Forza 5 and Fable Legends running on a PC in DirectX 12, so maybe they will use those games to help Windows 10.

    1. I find it interesting, confusing and at the same time hilarious how someone can win each and every article by reciting the same brain dead drivel over and over. I mean who needs independent thought, when we can just repeat “glorious pc gaming master race” over and over again like a bunch of sheep. This by the way isn’t meant as a stab at you supersungin, but at the comments section of this board in general as everybody here does it and it’s beyond laughable. I bet even the console kiddies come here and make fun of us calling us sheep, drones, borg, pick one.

      I thought it took actual brainpower to put a PC together to play these games and yet 60% of this board seems to lack the capability of independent thought, which could be translated into having sh*t for brains. How such an amazing site got infested with so many wooly mammals is beyond me. Old McDonald has a nice warm barn for you all to sleep in free of rent, as he deeply misses your wooly embrace. : D

      Kidding aside you sound like sheep.
      Bahhhh.

      1. i loled.

        No one takes the glorious pc master race seriously..

        its a meme. It started when yantzee couldnt play witcher 2 on his crappy laptop and the game was too complicated for him So he said the game is designed for the MASTER RACE and posted an aryan picture, implying the game is made for stroger,more intelligent and overall superior people and then said it was done so the console “peasants” dont ruin it for the pc master race. Meaning that console gamers like him were poor uneducated and lacked intelligence.

        Then the console fanboys started using it to attack pc gamers, pc gamers joined in the joke and said “SILENCE PEASANT” and similar stuff like “DONT TOUCH ME FILTHY CASUAL”

        Then everyone spammed it on the internet and it became a thing.

        Pc gamers used it as a joke after they said why pc gaming is better, or some used it for trolling. But overall its a meme. No one takes it seriously. We dont call ourself “pc master race” but its funny when console gamers who are mostly casuals and dont bother much with the gaming memes and in lamest terms “the internet” have no idea wtf it is and they take it seriously so they get BUTTHURT when we call them peasants.

        Just to clarify the peasants are those annoying dbags who dont play on pc at all, only on consoles and say that pc gaming is for nerds and we should play on consoles like normal people do. Same peple who think pc gaming is super expsnvie and you got to upgarde all the time and has no elxusives. Those ARE peasants are far as i am concerned. We got nothing against multiplatform gamers, some of us own consoles but pc is superior theire is no contest here, even people who were raised on consoles and still play on consoles primarly till this day agree that pc is superior.

        Long story short we merely mention a meme, its like a inside joke, we dont take it seriously but cosnole games who dont know the meme are taking it seriously and they are butthurt about it. Its so funny.

        But hey we could be sony ponies who actually are sheep and damage control for sony and every single mistake that a sony related studio does is damaged controlled to high heaven.

        Sony even created a similar thingy for them. the so called “greatness awaits”

        The diffirence is that the sony corporate slave drones take it seriously and believe the marketing bs that sony created for them, while we dont even believe the glorious pc master race which is a internet meme. We do believe that pc is vastly superior though and it will be better if all games were on pc where everything is customizable and you dont have to pay for mp.

        That being said GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTERACE!!!

        Oh and by the way yantzee the creator of the meme and primarly a console gamer has said that he now preffers pc. He says both cosnoles are crap, the piss4 and xbone as he calls them and that what put him off pc was the elitism but now consoles are also elitist and if he is going to join one of the two might as well go with the one that screws you over less. He is yet another primary console gamer that now primarly plays on pc just like reviewtechusa, angry joe, jim sterling,boogie, blackbone,brokengamez and many many others.

        Everyone is switching to pc or as the meme dictates ASCENDING TO PC .

        1. I never said you guys take it seriously. I said you sh*t out the same phrase over and over and over in damn near article and it rises to the top. You sound like sheep to me, and that’s my opinion. I come here to read intelligent articles by John. Afterwords I scroll down to the comment section and see what I deem to be the exact polar opposite… A bunch of mindless drones that all spout out the same drivel regardless of the subject. Your all entitled to say and think whatever you want and so am I. I will admit that there are some amazingly intelligent people on this site but that seems far from the majority.

          I just wanted to jump in quick and inform alot of you that for the average person out there who balances a 12 hour a day job, friends, family, and a relationship and has no time to be playing on the internet all day learning the ins and outs of geekdom…

          You sound like sheep.
          mindless, mindless… sheep.
          F*ck independent thought
          Bahhhhh : D

          Also if someone could chime in on the proper spelling of the sound a sheep makes… you’d be the hero of the day.

          1. So you basicly saying you dont have time to read our sht, but you read them.

            …….

            Ok then you proceed into insulting us.

            Again ok

            Now please find me a site that has better userbase because anyting on n4g, like say dualshockers and the rest of disquss sites, most certainly do not.

            I still dont see how we are “sheep” but you really need to go check some other sites, if you think this site is bad.

            Dont ever read comments in

            kotaku,ign,polygon,gamingbolt,gearnuke,cinemablend,dualshockers,gamestpot,youtube and a bazillion others.

          2. Jesus Christ I said over and over again 60% of the dolts on this site say “GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE” over and over again regardless of the topic and get upvoted into oblivion. When you say the same thing over and over again and throw independent thought out the window I call you a f*cking sheep. I do frequent other sites and although many of the people there are stunted in the head they at least have semi coherent responses to a subject instead of just yelling “GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE” If you can’t understand how saying the same sh*t over and over and over like a broken f*cking record makes you look stupid then I give up.

          3. Yes insult people because you dont reallize that the pc master race is a MEME.

            Who the fck you think you are to dictate what people will talk about?

            This is not how its working pal, people will say and do whatever the h3ll they want, if you dont like it go home.

            Nothign you do will change it.

            You can call us sheep but that pretty much applies to everyone about anything, you play cod you are a sheep, you play on pc you are a sheep, you post nonsense in the internet believing you can change the opinion of everyone else by insulting them, then you are a dolt.

            GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE.

            Keep getting BUTTHURT about a meme

  4. I watched 2 hours of gamplay the game is awesome. Its filled with game and movie reffences and mocks stupid plot mechanics.

    Eg the guy needs to build a plane, and there is someone in a group that knows about aerodynamics so the player character looks at the camera and says convenient” eh?” Or mocks how every time you have to do something in a game level like say press a button, you got to do it 3 times. The rule of 3. There are movie reffrencies too.

    The game is fun unlike most games outhere.

    i dont want to buy a xbone for that.

      1. No not really watch some gameplay it reffences those things but the gameplay is prertty much gliding around wires and shooting stuff.

        So i guess its innovative but that innovation gets repettive.

        I only wathed and hour and 50 minutes id ont know what happens afterwards. The game might change, the game might suck or stop being funny.

    1. NO NO NO DONT BUY THAT CRAP!

      Atleast tell me you go and buy a crappy PS4, then I can talk to ya bro ..LOL 😉

      I am one of those stupid F*CKERS that WILL buy a PS4 as Sonys exclusives or some of them are damn fine and a must for me.

      I wouldent dare to be without say an Uncharted games or Ratchet or that awesome frigging game called TLOU, F*CKN AWESOME game mate!

      So lets just hope those dudes at Cobra or KeyTeam will release a ODDE, soner then later as I will have those F*CKN console games for free.. As I allways says, BUY the games for the pc and PIRATE – DOWNLOAD ALL FOR CONSOLES, for free 😉

      As longs as those F*CKIN consoles SH*TE are around we will miss some on the best plattform ever so dont suport those devs and pay for the games, only pay for Pc games and your an okey kid 😉

      1. I think uncharted 3 ended perfectly, but apparently there has to be another one.

        Honestly there are so many ratchet games if you havent gotten tired of them by now or halo, i feel sad for you.

        I dont care about killzone god of war has been done, just make a new ip. The order is gonna end up like driveflop and bloodborne is only relevant to dark souls fans, i hate that game.

        Both the piss4 and the xbone are crap. I am not going to buy either of them anytime soon but if anything, the xbone seems to have the games i want to play. Sunset overdrive tomb raider, quantum break. If those could come out on pc, that will be great.

        Personally full time exlusives are pointless. As yoshida said only 4/10 sony exlusives make money, so wtf are they doing? It will best if exlusvies were all timed and then they released on other platforms.

        Consoles are a dated idea, i dont think they will survive for much longer. But hey gotta keep dem next gen hype up and get people to buy trashboxes.

        Id rather spend money on multiple games on pc than on useless trashboxes to play overhyped sequels of AAA exlusives that dont sell well to begin with.

        Something else i can get pc games for 40 bucks console games cost 70.

        NOPE not paying that.

      1. Insomniac went to sony first, but sony watned to own the ip. Insomniac had the audacity to get this OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE GAME THEY MADE…..those bastards. So they gone to ms and ms let them keep them.

        Thats why we might see a pc version.

  5. Mike Ybarra ?@XboxQwik 3 minHá 3 minutos
    On the Sunset Xbox/PC ad: Not true, this was a simple mistake and the team is aware/addressing. Sorry for any confusion! #XboxOne

    ^^twitter

  6. They better keep it a permanent Xbox One exclusive, Microsoft needs to show some more loyalty by creating new permanent exclusives instead of paying for timed exclusive on XB1 and after that on PC.

    Well, atleast it isn’t coming to PS4

    1. Some ms guy said its not true.

      I believe them just as much as i believed capcom on dead rising 3 never coming to pc and ps4.

      1. or when a sony rep on twitter accidentally let it slip that gta v was coming to the ps4 lol….he later retracted that statement and said it was a mistake. people are gulibile enough to believe though.

  7. The PC is too great a platform now that we don’t need a few exclusives to make or break it anymore. If a game is on PC then great if not then the developer is ignoring hundreds of millions of potential customers and it is there loss not PC gamers’ loss, we have have no shortage of quality games just shortage of time to play them all.

  8. No surprise here. That insomniac hasn’t made a PC game in a long time means nothing. Developers know the PC is a profitable platform. Insomniac never denied a PC version, they simply said “no plans at the moment”, being coy about it so they can release it on consoles first and PC later. Its a crappy and shady business practice that’s unfortunately becoming more and more common in this industry. PC users are treated as second class.

    The division, GTA V, Ryse, DR3, etc., were always coming to PC. I for one room fuse to support this crappy trend.

  9. This is probably the only game coming that the xbone that somewhat appeals to me. Kinda do hope it comes to pc because i wouldn’t mind playing it. Also hope bayonetta 2 comes to the pc but i dont see that happening at all.

  10. As if i had any reasons to buy an Xbox one in the first place. I wonder if i can desire an item with less than 0 %? Because with every game thats released on the PC and it came from the Xbox, my hype for the Xbox one lowers by 50 %.

  11. watched some gameplay. not interested even if it comes to pc but if it really does at some point then good for us.

  12. GG DSOGaming. I commented with proof that it’s not coming to pc and that it was a mistake but you deleted my comment so you can keep spreading false information.

    1. your comment is there, nobody deleted it.

  14. Why is everyone such a d*ck in this thread? I was hoping that it would come out for PC for you guys, because it’s such a fun game; however, Microsoft has already addressed this, and said it was a mistake. Some other exclusives have made their way to PC, but I don’t think that this will be one of them. I wouldn’t get your hopes up, because this is a pretty big exclusive.
