Sony Cancels Many inFAMOUS: First Light Pre-Orders Due to a "Technical Error"

Apparently a few wires were crossed at Sony, and the company is now sending mails to customers that pre-ordered inFAMOUS: First Light mentioning that their pre-order has been canceled due to a “technical error.”

I don't recall ever hearing about pre-orders being canceled for a video game except in the event of a company going bankrupt. And in those instances, they explained WHY they were canceled.

What is strange is how Sony is not giving an actual reason why these cancellations are happening. The "technical error" excuse sounds like complete BS. I hope their servers didn't get hacked, compromising customer and payment information.

harrisk9543523d ago

What the hell are you talking about?

Michiel19893523d ago

you preorder online, it goes into their system. Something went wrong with that system, preorders cancelled.

You dont have to doomthink everytime a mistake is made....

I'll have what Andrew is having with a crack on the side wall.last time I check computers aren't infallible or perfec..............a error have deleted the rest of this comment summit a ticket to Microsoft. error # 102837575684858478584737583929 348894893884484939487

LeCreuset3523d ago

Bwahaha! Oh, man. The desperate. It's... it's too much.

Come on, son. Bankruptcy and server hacks? Have you gotten so desperate that you'll try to insert those last two hopes for a PS4 fail you're clinging to into any conversation?

xer03523d ago

Dude - I think your imagination has totally gone with the faeries with this one.

There's nothing strange.

Sony have even provided a free costume for Fetch.
Anyone who has pre-ordered will receive it.

Meh, you can just pre-order again.

Abriael3524d ago

Looks like many can't. It shows for them as purchased.

Transporter473524d ago

So if its purchased you can download it lol

Sm311M3Fart3523d ago

Not in this case. There is no option download it. In transactions history there is an expiration date as purchase date. Not able to purchase it again. Hope Sony will resolve the issue by launch date.

KUV19773523d ago

I noticed that too yesterday. I saw the PreOrdert in the store as 'bundle' and wondered why it wasn't marked as 'preordered'. It is not in my library but preordering again does not work either, because 'i already purchased it'. Just a couple of days to go SONY!

BX813523d ago

Damn that sux. Hope sony fixes this before launch.

Stapleface3524d ago

I'm sure some will defend and some will freak out. Neither is necessary. Every company makes mistakes. EVERY company.

Christopher3523d ago (Edited 3523d ago )

lol @ Northrop Grumman.

I used to work on developing a Intranet site that tracked the many infractions and fees owed due to the government that companies would incur due to shipping products to countries where they weren't supposed to (China being a big one). Northrop was right up there with Lockhead and Boeing.s

rainslacker3524d ago

Technical glitches happen all the time in stuff like this. If they don't acknowledge it or remedy it, then it's a mistake. Otherwise it's a bug that went unnoticed until it was too late. Believe it or not, stuff like this happens without anyone realizing it until the problem is actually fixed.

I'm sure Sony didn't do it maliciously...why would they want to lose business.:)

Dudebro903524d ago

Sending mails? Proofread much?

Not a big deal. Just buy it when it comes out.

matrixman923524d ago

it has preload though, most people want to be able to play right as it goes live

BattleTorn3524d ago

The pre-orders are ONLY for the DLC version, and not the standalone correct?

What's the price gonna be for the standalone?

I'm asking even though I have it digitally.(ISS)

Abriael3524d ago

There's only one version.

Whether you buy it digital or at retail it's standalone.

BattleTorn3524d ago (Edited 3524d ago )

So there's no price variation between people who own the original game, and those who do not?

edit: what I'm reading is that the retail disc isn't releasing until next month.

And inFamous owners simply get bonus content.

Since I don't own a inFamous box. (bought digitally) I think I might go for the disc-version of First Light!

harrisk9543523d ago (Edited 3523d ago )

@Abriel

No.... Sony is releasing a disc version.

None of these worth buying in this "sale". These can be found on disc for much less.

Xaevi1516d ago

Sucks they don't put infamous at 7$ like they used to. I got Bloodborne for 7 bucks years ago too. Once they make the Hit List they don't go lower than 14 it seems

rolando1231516d ago

yeah this is true but i totally think Second Son and First Light for 30 bucks or whatever is a fantastic deal. Two great platinum trophies too!

Sony’s best-selling Infamous series did X-Men games better than the actual X-Men

For decades, superheroes had the worst luck when it came to video games, the X-Men chief among them. There are a few welcome outliers—Raven Software’s X-Men Legends duology remains a classic, Wolverine’s game adaptation for his first solo movie has its silly charm, and you can still find the classic beat-’em-up cabinet in arcades everywhere—but there are more lows than highs, from Mutant Wars and X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, to the franchise’s last big stab at mainstream gaming respectability, 2011’s X-Men: Destiny. Sluggish and overwrought, the latter seemed to be the kiss of death for Marvel’s mutants, the precursor to their eventual fate years before they were kicked out of Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite. (Getting left out in the cold during Marvel’s big purchase by Disney probably didn’t help.)

When you find out that Kessler is Cole. Mind blown. It was so awesome

Nitrowolf21774d ago

Yeah I really wasn’t expecting that at all, loved it though and made me feel bad for him

Shame cause I thought 2 feel flat in comparison was hoping it’d be set up for us to fail and having to travel back as Kessler.

Easily could have made three focused around getting cole out of that loop.

AspiringProGenji1774d ago

Ah Infamous 2, such a well made game. I miss playing it and would love a remaster. Many people had issues with the story, but I myself enjoyed it. Maybe if I get back and play it I might realize why, but god damn I loved the game

hebewanif1773d ago

my roomate's step-mother makes $72 every hour on the computer . She has been out of a job for six months but last month her check was $13623 just working on the computer for a few hours.

use *Spoiler Alert* next time.

Zeke681773d ago

It's a PS3 title, no need for spoiler tags....
Spolier alert Dr No is the bad guy in the first James Bond movie with the same name from 1962 end spolier alert
How long should it go on in your opinion? 😉

SCW19821773d ago (Edited 1773d ago )

Really? It came out 10 years ago. I think we are past needing spoiler warnings at this point.

lelo2play1773d ago

We shouldn't call them X-Men... feminists don't like it.

zsquaresoff1774d ago

Sony needs to remaster both infamous games for ps4/5. Incredible games with pretty easy platinum trophies.

thatguyhayat1773d ago

Infamous 1 looking for the shards was a b*tch.

SamPao1773d ago

yeah that was indeed annoying :D

Silly gameAr1773d ago (Edited 1773d ago )

That was the only trophy I didn't get because it glitched out on me. I have Infamous 2 and Second Son Platinum trophy, but can't get that Infamous 1 plat. That always bugged me.

The_Hooligan1773d ago

The one that gave me hard time was killing 3 people at once by making them fall from a high place. That stunt was a bitch lol. But i really enjoyed the first two infamous games. I need to play second son though.

AspiringProGenji1774d ago (Edited 1774d ago )

I've actually thought the same thing and how Sucker Punch can expand this IP and have their own Xmen. I wish we get an sequel to Infamous 2's bad ending which gave everyone affected by the blast super powers

CBaoth1773d ago

Sucker Punch screwed the series by choosing the "good" ending as canon. Infamous 3 could've been exquisite if Cole ***SPOILERS*** had wiped out 7 billion on the planet. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, Cole should've been the antagonist or at the very least a tortured soul seeking redemption as he became the Beast. Far more interesting concept with intriguing story arcs but they played it safe with banal tropes of the modern political climate.

Andy_Dee1773d ago

Yeah I really enjoyed the first and second one. Never before had I played a game that was like this.

A new experience and the for me as a new fan!

Hardest PS3/PS4 Platinum Trophies

Neocrisis - Here are some of the hardest platinum trophies to get on the PS3 and PS4. These are the ones that I was able to get myself.

neocrisis.com
IamTylerDurden12208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

Some of the hardest platinums imo.

Orcs Must Die Uchained

Enter The Gungeon

Max Payne 3

Nuclear Throne

Super Meat Boy

bouzebbal2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

Velocity 2X
DJ Hero
SF4
KZ2
WipEout HD
...are among the toughest and 5 plats i am most proud of

jerethdagryphon2208d ago

Kz 2 the online was a stupid requirement

Knushwood Butt2208d ago

Congrats on Velocity 2X

I got the silver for 25 perfects...

joab7772208d ago

For me, in my run, it’s Lost Planet 2 and Killzone 2 before it’s patch. But about 3 yrs ago, I stopped chasing pointless trophies that are just wasted hours.

jazzking20012208d ago

i am not a plat hunter but i will try to get them.....if they do not require a ton of work to do.

jerethdagryphon2208d ago

Out of the 90 i have gt5 and sport are probobly high on the list that and sports champions

2pacalypsenow2208d ago

MGS 5 is not a hard platinum, it's just time consuming.

How is Killzone 2 not on this list?

jazzking20012208d ago

I have never played K2, thus not on the list.

kuraki_dan2208d ago

This list is trash.... infamous took me less than 24 hours to plat and resogun only a few days.... so many much harder/actually time consuming games. Warhawk for example...

Sniperwithacause2208d ago

OMG dude! You beat me to it. As soon as I started scrolling thru comments, and didnt see Warhawk yet I was going to post it.

the worst2208d ago

Warhawk is no joke. I have a championship blade. But flying all that time in the air. I just couldn't do it

franwex2208d ago

Still working on the mgs v one. So far I’m about 130 hours in. All I need to do is collect all the damn animals, beat the target tests on mother base, do the secondary objectives on the campaign. Phew.

Gameseeker_Frampt2208d ago

Killzone 2 is super hard now that the servers shut down yesterday.

joab7772208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

That’s is my hardest before Radec was patched. I spent 9 straight hrs fighting him on Elite. And finally got him! Lost Planet 2 is also absurd!

And Dead Space 2 was tough, going through with like 3 saves for the whole game.

And is MGS 4 harder? I haven’t played 5, but going through 4 without alerting or dying is tough.

Knushwood Butt2208d ago

Radec was patched?

I admit I gave up.

My most enjoyable platinum was 2016 R&C. Most plats get tedious towards the end but R&C was fun the entire time.

dariux322208d ago

I am working on it right now. And game is stil fun to play in challenge mode.

jazzking20012208d ago

i also got it as a plat...trophies were mostly easy...thanks to a bug i was able to get the final racing trophy

jerethdagryphon2208d ago

You dont need a bug just need to practice a bit

SonyWarrior2208d ago

Socom confrontation is the true hardest plat they made that dumb hard to ever get the plat i doubt any one in the world besides the devs got the plat

2pacalypsenow2208d ago

Oh yeah that def was the hardest trophy prob out of all the games released on the Vita,Ps3 and Ps4

DaBudSmoka2208d ago

I got the socom platinum...so yea

AKS2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

That's the one that people seem to notice most. Several people have commented about that when they've checked out my trophies. I was more proud of getting the Big Boss Emblem in MGS4 in terms of gaming accomplishments, but alas there were no trophies when I got it.

jazzking20012208d ago

i beat MGS4 but that was before it got trophy support. If it had when i played it, i may have it now

AKS2208d ago (Edited 2208d ago )

The Big Boss Emblem was from a "perfect" run with no kills, health items, or alerts in under 4 hours on the most difficult setting. I feel like I should have a trophy for that.

jerethdagryphon2208d ago

Demons souls was pretty easy only pure bladestone was hard
