G3 gives its early impressions of the PlayStation 3 title inFamous.
Excerpt: "The game controls like a average third person shooter and after a brief tutorial you are on your way to taking control or saving Empire city. But the first thing you need to do is re establish power back into Empire city. After you bring alive certain parts of the city you are allowed the ability to "skate" on that section of the city's power lines. This is a quick and fun way to travel the vast and alive city. When i say the city is alive i mean it. This is probably the most realistic city in a game yet. If you choose the path of evil and when people see you they run in fear or they scream. But if you choose the side of good you will see more side quests and people will run up to you and ask you to help a friend or do various tasks. This makes you immersed in the game world."
The inFamous games are an important part of PlayStation history, but the series is in limbo and playing older entries isn't exactly easy.
Would like remasters of 1 and 2. I enjoyed them much more than Second Son.
1 & 2 had more of an emphasis on climbing and the traversal requires a bit more effort in a good way. It was rewarding. Second Son made climbing mostly obsolete so they put little effort into it. The traversal was just great in inFamous 1 & 2. There's a reason Sunset Overdrive copied and improved upon the induction grind mechanic.
Reminds me of how I felt about the decline of parkour and the well designed tombs (basically Prince Of Persia levels) that we saw in the Assassin's Creed games.
The story and atmosphere were also much better in 1 & 2.
Electricity is just a brilliant superpower for an open world city. It perfectly fits just like webslinging does in New York and it has many applications.
Wouldn't the onus be on the consumers? If they bought the Infamous games, then we'd have more games from that series.
I would love to see a new game but a feel that would get a response similar to Saints Row.
Loved all 3 of them. I couldn't get on with the vampire spin off though. Wish they didn't move away from cole but I didn't mind the other character.
Nixxes' Remaster focus could set the stage to resurrect many obscure titles like the karma-centered, superpower-fueled sandbox of Infamous.
Infamous remaster? How about an Infamous re-Boot! This is one game that doesn't need a remaster, it needs either a proper equal of a reboot of the original. And since Sony is currently in development with Marvel, i can totally see them having guest marvel characters to appear in Cole's world.
I'd like a Killzone 2 Remaster.
Keep the visuals style as is ... just improve the LoD and the resolution
There is a lot of the PS3 era that I would love to see ported/remastered. But, unfortunately, they are probably not commercially viable and I have no idea who owns the rights currently. Stuff like Sire: Blood Curse, White Knight Chronicles, Tokyo Jungle, Folklore, etc.
Infamous on the other hand was never a series that I found good or interesting. Especially when compared with other contemporaries like Prototype. But, given how bare the subgenre is right now, I would dig a remaster.
Infamous, Resistance, and killzine are so ripe for a remaster, I wish Sony would make it happen.
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.
Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.
Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
I have been playing the demo for about 4 days now and while I think that inFAMOUS will be an outstanding title (day one for me) I don't think I will be better than Metal Gear Solid 4 (my #1 of all time).
9 days until launch, we will find out then.
MGS4 is so boring... inFAMOUS is ALL FUN... i think YES... Best PS3 game
I've been playing the demo for some time now, and while it certenly is great, I wouldn't go so far to say it's the best game for PS3 until I have played the whole game.
It all comes down to how much variation it offers throughout the game, and that can obviously not be shown through a demo.
In the end, you will definitely be inFAMOUS!!!
(w00t)
I guy, civilian, walked write up to me, patted me on the back and gave me a thumbs up. Another guy tried to take a picture of me. Good karma, friggin crazy game.
This little information just reminded me of that cuz when it happened i was like wtf? The effort put into this game (attention to life like detail/human interaction) is amazing.
