I think Insomniac have made it pretty clear that Sunset Overdrive was to be an Xbox One exclusive but this has not stopped fans from requesting the game go multi-platform and posting a petition for the change on the Insomniac forums.
The thread was quickly locked, the petition removed and a rather sharp message was posted beneath.
Sunset Overdrive is and will be exclusive to the Xbox One.
Petitions will not change that. We have a partner in Microsoft, that we are happy with for this title. That doesn’t mean we can’t and won’t work with other publishers (see Into the Nexus).
We realize not everyone is happy it’s exclusive. We hope the game speaks for itself though and the console becomes a nonissue.
Thanks.
I am not entirely sure how the console can become a non-issue* when the game is not on the console you happen to own but the message is clear: Sunset Overdrive is Xbox One exclusive and any mention of multi-platform shenanigans will be shot down fast than you can say “My, that looks suspiciously like Microsoft saw the petition and demanded it was removed.”

*Unless that is a hint the game is going multiplatform. Hey maybe I’ve stumbled on something! Wait a minute… why are there men setting up a sniper rifle on the roof opposite my office? Wha-

It’s disappointing they drifted from Sony, especially after playing “Fuse” and paying for price for the privilege. That game was nowhere near the quality I was used to after play the R&C games. I wouldn’t have minded as much but feels like they sold out their real fans for these “partners”.
I fear the Insomniac brand is being hurt as a result. I can only hope that R&C Into the Nexus restores my faith in them.

To me it’s the game that is a non-issue.

I really dont get all the hate, no gameplay has been shown and this game is already destined to tank? thats pathetic, even from fanboys. Seriously grow up, because its not for PS4 its a bad game? get a grip.
