Sony have now announced that the game has managed to sell 1.2 million units as of October, 2009. It shows that PlayStation 3 titles really do have long life-spans.
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
vgchartz has it at 1.03m those guys can't get one right!!!
But wasn't this game released back in MAY?
Let's do the math, shall we?
1,200,000/6 months = 200,000 copies a month. Not bad!
At least for a 2009 BIG PS3-exclusive game.
Now let's hope your other brethren can follow suit.
But it doesn't look good:
Demon Souls - 400,000 copies sold
Ratchet & Clank - ACIT - 300,000 copies sold
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - 300,000 copies sold
EyePet - 120,000 copies sold
And yes, Ninja Gaiden is an exclusive to PS3. Remember?
You said that is was a WHOLE new game. And XBOX360 Fans were beta-testers. Don't run from it now... :-)
NO. ONE. CARES.
Your exclusives are forgettable. Sorry.
Here's XBOX360's exclusives for 2009. You know, the same games that rated lower, but sold MUCH MORE. Watch and learn:
Halo Wars - 1.5 million copies
Halo ODST - 3.5 million copies
Left4Dead 2 - 2 million copies (+/-)
Forza 3 - 1.3 million copies
Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City (An expansion!) - 500,000 copies
Wow. In a year where XBOX360 "didn't have any games", the gamers still supported the releases. And bought the multiplats in DROVES.
Maybe the PS3 really IS just a BluRay Player.
But congrats, Infamous. You deserve it. Too bad you weren't released on a GAMING CONSOLE.
@Marius Elijah
Uncharted 2 was their biggest game of the year through marketing and backing. It has sold 1.7 million copies. And should. Sony Fans were the ones propping up their 2009 exclusives all year. Not XBOX360 Fans. That is what this post is about. Nice try.
I still have to platinum this game... because it's soo fun.
Just saying. How does it take this long for a "major exclusive" to move 1.2 units? Now if it were say a Transformers Bluray, or even Paul Blart Mall Cop, or Disney's Fox and the Hound... (blu ray movies sell better than PS3 exclusives is the point)
