Neowin will have a review of "Sunset Overdrive" before it's released, and I want to know what would make the game a must-buy or must-avoid for you. Is there anything specific you want to know that hasn't been addressed in previews or info released about the game?

I'm on the fence with this game... Is it worth $60???

I can't give full impressions until the review is out, but I have what I feel is a very definitive answer after beating the main campaign. And if you don't trust my review, I'm sure there will be plenty of others for the game before it's released.

How big is SS:OD?  Is there at least 12+hrs of gameplay of the main campaign?

I'm completely on the fence on this so there are quite a few things I'd like to know;

 

Like above, how long is the main campaign?

Is there an actual story with objectives to complete?

Side missions that can make it last longer?

What do you think about replayability - can you play SP mulitple times and still enjoy it?

Is there any variation in the story or do objectives/missions just get rehased in new area's etc?

I've heard moving from SP > MP is very seamless, is it true and how do they achieve it?

What's on offer in MP - is it PVP, PVE, Gamemodes?

Is this a game built for SP or MP? For example I would say Battlefield, Call of Duty are largely built for MP with a SP thrown in?

Is there more than one playable hero character?  (Yes, I know you can create your own, but I found that odd.)

 

I'm already buying it cause it looks cheesy but fun.  :)

I think I have all your questions answered in the review so far. I can't discuss the embargo date, however -- sorry.

 

You play as your own character that you get to customize, yes. If you mean do you have allies, then yes, there are four factions that you get missions from in addition to a few other main characters/allies.

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
