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.

harrisk9543950d ago

What the hell are you talking about?

Michiel19893950d 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

LeCreuset3950d 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?

xer03950d 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.

Abriael3951d ago

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

Transporter473951d ago

So if its purchased you can download it lol

Sm311M3Fart3950d 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.

KUV19773950d 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!

BX813950d ago

Damn that sux. Hope sony fixes this before launch.

Stapleface3951d ago

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

Nor Weiland-Yutani! Oh uh well.....

Christopher3950d ago (Edited 3950d 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

rainslacker3951d 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.:)

Dudebro903951d ago

Sending mails? Proofread much?

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

matrixman923951d ago

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

BattleTorn3951d 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)

Abriael3951d ago

There's only one version.

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

BattleTorn3951d ago (Edited 3951d 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!

harrisk9543950d ago (Edited 3950d ago )

@Abriel

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

inFamous 3: Is PlayStation Working On A Second Son Sequel?

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake333d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn332d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga331d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX332d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup332d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992332d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack332d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000332d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx332d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty331d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125332d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc331d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg331d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

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

Xaevi1943d 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

rolando1231943d 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

Nitrowolf22200d 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.

AspiringProGenji2200d 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

hebewanif2200d 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.

Zeke682200d 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? 😉

SCW19822199d ago (Edited 2199d ago )

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

lelo2play2200d ago

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

Zeke682200d ago

X-(Wo)men *fixed it*
Off topic: northern Sweden and we got 28C in the shadow, damn, my beer is cold for 1 minute and then boiling hot hehe

zsquaresoff2200d ago

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

thatguyhayat2200d ago

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

SamPao2200d ago

yeah that was indeed annoying :D

Silly gameAr2199d ago (Edited 2199d 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_Hooligan2199d 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.

AspiringProGenji2200d ago (Edited 2200d 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

CBaoth2200d 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_Dee2200d 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!
