Gameplay looking great. Kind of looks like a cross of Infamous x Ratchet and Clank, which is a good thing.
More previews....I'm definitely getting this one:

Ok...just to get this out of the way and now we'll know:
http://www.videogamer.com/xboxone/sunset_overdrive/news/sunset_overdrive_is_currently_sub-1080p.html
Guess there is no new SDK yet. Hopefully in the future this will improve. But if this sub 1080p means 900p or more, i am good with that.

IGN has a preview up too:

And I could care less if it's 1080p or not. Gamers need to hold games more accountable for whether they're fun or not, and spend less time worrying about their resolutions.
Yeah, like both platforms have their comparable exclusives. Killzone/Halo, Ryse/GoW, etc.
Gat Dayum! Insomniac spends countless upon countless hours, months, years creating a game for the masses to enjoy that looks absolutely awesome, and all that hard work will come down to if the game is 1080p, sub 1080p, 900p etc. Thats just MORE of the stupidest s*** Ive ever heard in my life! Gamers can be so embarrassing....
Link is now broken?
Edit: Ok, they re-posted the article, but now there is no gameplay vid....?

From joystiq:
Dying in Sunset Overdrive, however, inspires more than it foils. This isn't to say the game lacks challenge, but that it sees your death as a funny stumble more than a fall. When I died battling one of the larger energy drink mutants, the super-gross Herker, I came back quickly without loading and without frustration.
Your sudden resurrection is unexplained and nonsensical, so Insomniac gives you a grand entrance every time. You might crash-land in a rocket, rise out of the earth in a golden sarcophagus, tumble out of an inter-dimensional portal, or be discarded out of a speeding van by Sunset City's mutants. It's a funny, wonderfully unnecessary touch that helps maintain the game's momentum.

Not sure if that was in direct response to me, cause don't get me wrong, it looks fantastic. But this being an exclusive, i'd at least expect 900p. Some people with smaller tvs probably don't care but i am a lover of HUGE screen gaming, meaning around 110 inch, and say it was....720p..that would be a big letdown for me. That is why i said i'd be ok with 900p. There's also nothing wrong with wishing the X1 to eventually improve in this regard.
Ah yes, this is the Insomniac humour i love. And this game can be played with multiple people all at the same time, right? Kinda like a four player or more co-op in Craxkdown?
sadly tho you and i both know that there will be a certain sect of people here that will grab and run with it that this isn't 1080p.
They will get deleted as they shouldn't of been uploaded in first place, my guess is due to NDA only allowing screenshots.

Maybe, but it's a bit early to say this. I thought this was gonna be a FPS personally. We should wait for some gameplay before we start saying it's this and that. I mean, the game is more like a parkour shooter than a superhero type of game.
My post wasnt directed at you. Just gamers in general. In fact, if you visit some of the other sites, the bitching has already begun over the sub 1080p comment.

I know they're just GIFs, but that looks like one damn fun game. I love how bright and colorful everything looks. The only thing that has me concerned is the constant mob of mindless repetitive looking enemies. Hopefully they don't bog down gameplay, ala Crackdown 2.
