Sony already owns Insomniac games, the developers of Microsoft's funny but not super outstanding Sunset Overdrive. But apparently they've not gotten the rights to the Sunset Overdrive IP, which was Microsoft exclusive. Which means that any future games and maybe even a remaster of the original can now be exclusive to Sony.Sometimes news will be small and not worth an entire thread, so why not make one for different gaming news.

Insomniac has always made killer games when they weren’t under Microsoft.
Sunset Overdrive is a fun, decent game, but it's a game that was already dated the day it launched. It's obviously an early 2010s game. Filled with too many memes that were already considered dated/dead, and jokes that are in the later seasons of Family Guy. Also, it's as close as we're gonna get to a Jet Set Radio sequel at the time.
I rather they just port the trilogy to modern consoles. The best you would get for Resistance is a reboot. The 3rd game is the series finale, and The Chimera are not coming back from that.
Agents of Mayhem happened. The spin-off is not good and most people have forgotten about it.
Yeah I remember Mayhem, but even that was 4 years ago so I wonder if the team bet on everything on it and when it flopped they were doomed. Haven't played it (its often on heavy discount of steam so maybe I'll grab it for 5$) but I remember review/preview made it seem pretty boring and the gimmick of being able to control different hero didn't appeal to me.
Ooof, another one gone. Does Capcom still have any of its big name creative leads left? Then again, Capcom has imo done pretty well these last few years, so you could say it doesn't really matter whether those industry legends are still around.
I blame Activision. For no particular reason other than mere association.
This part is nothing new, as everyone knew Ono was leaving. Capcom's got a lot of new blood, and so far, they've been pulling the company out of the rut. Hideaki Itsuno is still around, so there is that. A few other old bloods as well, but I am not familiar with all of their names.
True, and folks leaving Capcom gave us Platinum, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. Inti Creates is not as high profile, but they've made a pretty decent line-up of games carrying on the spirit of 8/16-bit era Capcom. Comcept ... euh, moving on. Tango Gameworks is a bit mixed, kind of depends on whether you like either or both of the Evil Withins. Overal a net win, I'd say.
I love both Evil Within games. I do have a preference for the sequel though. Both of those games felt like Resident Evil games than 5, 6, 7 or 8. The first Evil Within game was just re4, but The Cell or The Matrix.
It felt a lot like Crackdown when I played it honestly. It was fine I guess? I didn't really stick with it too long, but the tone was incredibly tongue-in-cheek. I played maybe 2 hours or so of it, shut it down one night to go to bed, and didn't load it back up. Comparing it Crackdown might be misleading, I didn't find it as fun as Crackdown, not by half, but it had that general feel to it, as far as mechanics and the way you dealt with challenges. The humor was ok, if you like Saints Row style of humor. Nothing that really stands out, as I honestly forgot the game existed until I read this thread and was like "oh yeah, I own that game, I even played it a bit."
Exactly. Nearly everyone has forgotten AoM even exists.
That's like saying it's better to be kicked in a dick by a person wearing sneakers, instead of steel-toed boots. Sure, one sucks more than the other, but I find both games equally boring and forgettable.
