Sunset Overdrive's 900p is Perfect

"900p works perfect for us," says creative director of upcoming Xbox One exclusive.

Last month, developer Insomniac Games confirmed that upcoming Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive would run at 900p/30fps. Now, the studio has revealed that during development the game was tested at 1080p, but 900p were chosen to allow the developer on-screen mayhem.

"Why would you want less action on screen? That's insanity," Smith said when asked why the studio chose 900p over 1080p. "900p works perfect for us. We spent a lot of time comparing and contrasting. We had it running at 1080p, we'd play it; we had it running at 900p, we'd play it and they didn't look considerably different. But the things that you could draw on screen were a lot more, and we wanted to draw a lot more on screen. More action, more better. Michael Bay would be very proud."

Smith also revealed that while Sunset Overdrive will not support free roam co-op at launch, this could be added to the game through a post-release expansion. If that doesn't happen, it could show up in a sequel. "Never say never," Smith said.

Sunset Overdrive is set to launch on October 28 as an Xbox One exclusive.
