All in all, inFamous is well worth the wait and well worth your cash. It's yet another fantastic exclusive to add to Sony's never ending list, and it's also yet another great action game to add to yours. inFamous plays extremely well, and has an unusually fun character to it, on top of an addictive one. It boasts a massive game world that you can scale fully and interact with extensively, on top of a game engine that makes it all happen with minimal issues. You've waited for a while now, and you should be happy to know this is a great game.
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
Excellent game.. i'm definitely getting it.. infamous looks so much better than gta4 did.. this is next gen game...
gta4 was like a ps2 upconverted game..
well done sucker punch.. u deserve my money
How did so much of the media get hung up on the name "Nathan Cole"?
I played the demo and it was extremely fun. That is how an open world game should be. Climbing feels awesome, just a pleasure. The combat is really tight, (here is where I differ from the review's author) exciting and challenging, you need to be careful with your energy bombs cause it's easy to hurt yourself.
Talking about graphics, inFAMOUS is not that good looking (at least the demo). On the con side, as others have said, it got some issues with jaggies (more than in GTA4), on the plus side it got a good texture job, good lighting, but the overall graphics are not impressive even when compared with games in the same genre (8.5/10 is a good score IMO in the graphics dept). However where inFAMOUS excels is in the effects. Amazing stuff, a lot of explosions, particles effects, makes this game a pleasure to look at and very exciting to play. After 2 mins in the demo, I totally forgot about "teh jaggiex" and I was having a lot of fun.
Cant wait for this one. At least a solid 9 in my books judging by the demo alone. Good work SP.
Playing the demo last night, i must say i felt the same pleasure i had playing Crackdown, it will be definitely a must-buy for me.
More good PS3 news!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
