"At the very beginning, you can choose to be a male or female, you can choose your race, your clothes, your hair, your body style and you can change it at any time in the game," Price says. "It's your game."

It's not just a free-for-all in the game. "You can do anything and go anywhere but there also is a robust story driving you along," he says. "This is an emotional journey for our main character, who is discovering who he or she is as they help various factions in the game uncover the nasty things that Fizzco. has been doing."

Introducing Chaos Squad

It’s an 8-player co-op mode that lets players craft their experience by voting on a variety of mission types to tackle in the open world.

And this all culminates in a massive Night Defense, which is harder or easier depending on which missions you’ve completed. If you win, you’ll earn yourself some awesome rewards like cash, special vanity items, and even weapons that you can lug back with you to the single-player game.

• Chaos Level
  
  First, it’s important to understand that Chaos Squad revolves around your properly named Chaos Level. This level is what determines the difficulty of your team’s final Night Defense. The higher your chaos level – the tougher your Night Defense is going to be, but you’ll get more chances to receive cool rewards at the end. The amount of chaos you have will depend on which missions you voted for leading up to Night Defense. Take a mission with a lot of chaos to increase difficulty and potential rewards? Or take a mission with a team boost to make it more likely you win succeed?

• Go straight from campaign to chaos-squad, in game
  
  So, you’re leaping around Sunset City in single-player and your friend/acquaintance invites you to join her Chaos Squad. You drop off a grind rail, strut up to the nearest future photo booth, and enter. You’ll go straight into MP with the same clothing, same amps, same everything as your character from the single-player.

• Vote on missions in the open-world
  
  At the start, you and your rag-tag band are going to get two mission options to vote on. You conquer it, two new ones crop up. And they’ll have different objectives and be in separate locations from the first round. So, the result is that each Chaos Squad experience feels unique as you’re going through the open-world.
  
  After a few rounds of voting and slaying and Chaos or boost getting – it’s time for your team to face the main event: Night Defense!

• Night Defense
  
  This is where you will fend off enemies and protect your vats of Overcharge at one of many forts across the city by not only using your weapons, traversal, and amps – but by placing traps, as well. Before each wave – you’ll have a bit of time to place your traps, but if you made a horrible calculation, you can move and place them during the waves, as well.
  
  And then – the enemies attack. And what comes next is an assault of 8 players simultaneously jumping, shooting, grinding, and exploding nearly every damn thing in sight. Each wave brings an increasingly difficult and new variety of enemies to your door. And, remember, the more Chaos you gathered in the open-world missions – the harder it’s going to be.

• Rewards for your character you can take back to campaign!
  
  But! Your reward output is based on your Chaos Meter. So, if you manage to survive with an almost full Chaos meter – you’re going to get way more chances at better rewards than the wuss teams who took team boosts instead of Chaos.
  
  After the dust settles and you hopefully bask in victory – you and your bounty can go back to the single-player game right where you left off or enter the Chaos again.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

Game has been showcased on IGN live for the last 20 mins. About to show Chaos mode before they move to next game. I'm really liking what I see from this game.

I'm keeping my XBOX One for this game alone.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

Seem like this will be a definite pick up for me on October 28, but i'm glad to see this game coming out before the onslaught of shooting games in November since it will be hard to get my free time away from Halo 2 on November 11.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

Why can't it be a timed exclusive and come to PS4 later. This game's looks like a lot of fun and I would play it but I don't want to buy a Xbox one for it.
