** When one person asked the developer vlog Sunset TV if you could play as a female character, they responded in the affirmative... by [[http://www.destructoid.com/in-a-show-of-unity-sunset-overdrive-lets-you-be-a-female-assassin-276897.phtml showing]] a female PlayerCharacter doing [[LeParkour free-running]] and wearing an outfit that looked suspiciously like [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed an Assassin's robes]], a jab at Creator/{{Ubisoft}} for not including a female PlayerCharacter among the four co-op protagonists of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity''.
