"With shotguns that create moving cover for the entire party, rifles that turn enemies into black holes and snipers that can pin opponents to walls, there's a lot of fun to be had with every character, and players can team up to wreak truly devastating combos."
Campaign mode for upcoming shooter will be playable offline; cloud used to gather player data.
Developer Insomniac Games said on a
that it plans to use the Xbox One cloud technology to consistently update its upcoming shooter Sunset Overdrive.
The company's CEO Ted Price also stated that the game's campaign will be playable offline. A month ago on a , Price said that the connectivity of next generation consoles would allow for a "two-way conversation" between the company and gamers by constantly doing content updates and tweaks based on player behavior and feedback.
Price also added that the console's online cloud structure and horsepower would allow more "hardcore data collection, correlation and translation" that would be tough on current generation consoles. "We are going to be relying on heavy back-end services to churn through the data we get from players to understand what they're telling us and what they're doing in the game."
Insomniac Games revealed its upcoming shooter last month. The game is exclusive for the Xbox One; no release date has been announced yet.
"Our intent is that you will be able to play the single-player without an online connection," says Insomniac.
Insomniac's Ted Price has been speaking to Game Informer about Sunset Overdrive, the Ratchet studio's surprise Xbox One exclusive. According to he, the gaudy open worlder is designed to be connected - it'll be updated continually, and offers extensive community features - but Insomniac doesn't intend this to be a requirement.

NZ Gamer - When we first heard about FUSE it was actually called Overstrike. A third person cooperative shooter, it's made by developers Insomniac Games - the people behind both Ratchet and Clank as well as the Resistance games. It seemed like a big win for all concerned; the epic storytelling and presentation of Resistance, coupled with the gleeful, hi-tech, alien pounding of Ratchet and Clank. There is no way it could go wrong.
