I wouldn't go that far. It looks good, but not amazing. I also don't think the gameplay engine is going to be that intuative. did you see when the guy was playing it at E3 and he couldn't aim and hit the guys on the roof? He hit everywhere but where he was aiming it looked like.

I see sloppy controls killing this one, right along side the main character/"urban" explorer.

Edit:

The open zone? Why, you can't give an opinion here? I stated my concerns for the game and not in a bad way. What's your deal, is it just because it's me posting?

Edit:
I'm ill informed because I saw a video where the controls seemed off? How the hell is that even possible? I saw the video with my own eyes, the guy couldn't hit the 3 guys on the roof when he played it. He had a hard time targeting the guys. I seen it and you had to have seen it if you follow this game at all.

And I'm ill informed cause I don't like the main guys looks? That's new on me.

1.4 - You ever think that this game isn't done yet?
Uncharted had sloppy controls and ND fixed those before release. Makes you wonder why developers even bother to show games before they are done. I'm not just picking on you, everybody does this. Someone is ripping on the Quantum Theory game about it being bland when they just announced this game.
Might as well do what RStar did and stay silent the whole time and just show teaser trailers.

Holy crap siligon you are full of it. This game looks amazing!!!!!!!!!

It must suck always being so critical of games. Do you ever actually just enjoy yourself while your playing? Or just constantly judge how it looks?

Na, this game looks amazing. I dont care what it is for. The fact that its exclusive just means that they will take full advantage of the hardware.

Genki - 443 days 17 hours ago
1.8 - ^Yeah, because that exclusive Untold Legends sure took full advantage of the hardware...
oh and just because it's exclusive, I might add. Developer skill has nothing to do with that. Nevermind that the top game this gen is a multiplat. Those games Lair, 99 nights, Perfect Dark, Bomberman, and Haze...hoo boy, MASTERPIECES, and only because they were exclusive! EVERYONE knows that if it's exclusive, it MUST be good! ...right?

I understand we all want good exclusives on our consoles...but let's lay off on the false logic a bit here folks, my goodness. The stuff you guys convince yourselves of is preposterous, and I say that because of all of the blatant mishaps and fiascoes we've seen in the past, yet these silly illogical notions are still drilled home day in and day out. A lot of you pretend that since a game is exclusive, it CAN'T fail, when the past tells us otherwise. Well, don't count your chickens before they hatch. I bet you insecure gamers who continuously convince yourselves that games you haven't played are gonna be perfect are among the most disgruntled, dissatisfied gamers. The difference between yourselves and normal folks is that they don't jump to irrational conclusions about games they know nothing about to begin with...so without lofty expectations, we tend to enjoy our games. I suggest you do the same, but it's up to you.

Stop expecting exclusives to be perfect. A lot of them suck worse than those oh-so terrible multiplats that you all THINK you love to hate. We haven't heard this one in a long time...but play GAMES, not consoles.

1.9 - indeed AMAZING!
those pics look amazing and the lightning thing makes the game looks AWESOME! better than the one in TFU! I have high hopes for Infamous! I'm wondering if there's any relation between the title and the game itself or they just simply put that title! anyway, can't wait for 2009 as Infamous & KZ2 are the 2 games that are already on my must buy list!

Give it a rest bud, this game looks amazing. Textures are clean and the game looks like it will put an amazing spin on open world gaming. Don't judge the game ill until the final release. Try being excited for new IP's since it takes guts for developers to run with them.

1.13 - Silogon
People aren't liking your comments because you're stating that the person playing couldn't aim due to bad controls. I've seen people play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and still can't aim. So because an individual person wasn't use to the controls it doesn't mean it has bad controls. It's called prejudice, the game is coming out in 2009 a long ways from now.

An opinion doesn't mean you state them as facts and saying it has bad controls based on an individual's poor aiming isn't a fact. Saying, "I think it will have bad controls because of the vertical covering system will be hard to implement" would be acceptable. Saying, "It has bad controls because of the vertical covering system is going to be implemented" is being prejudice because you're making statements based on a passive experience when games are an interactive experience. In order to say facts you must have had an interactive experience otherwise it can't be a fact/statement.

"I also don't think the gameplay engine is going to be that intuative. did you see when the guy was playing it at E3 and he couldn't aim and hit the guys on the roof? He hit everywhere but where he was aiming it looked like. I see sloppy controls killing this one, right along side the main character/"urban" explorer."

1.14 - I like the destructible environment
Looks like there's going to be more infrastructure/environmental damage available for the player to take advantage than gt4. Look at all the rubble on the ground. Very cool to be able to implement that in an open world.

2.2 - You could do that in crackdown, Panthers
But you could drive vehicles as well. Crackdown is one of my favorite XBOX 360 titles, and this game looks to have the gameplay that I will love. InFamous is quickly becoming one of my top-anticipated PS3 games for '09.

::off topic:: Now that I see more news about this game, I'm curious on what's happening with this game's supposed rival "Prototype"...

It's like the game just vanished...
Shut this user up Let user speak
andron666 - 443 days 14 hours ago
3.1 - Prototype is still coming...
It was delayed until march 2009.

I don't think it means it won't be good though, as it was one of the titles that survived the Activision Blizzard merger.

Yeah... where the hell is Prototype? I actually prefer Prototype's style over Infamous (from what I've seen of both). Infamous still looks cool though.

prototype did vanish...

This looks good though, very detailed for open world. I think thy will do a good job with the story and the gameplay looks simple but fun. There will likely be some interesting online components that are unannounced. Effects look nice, physics are very nice, animation is ok (not realistic but sticks to the comic style)

It is a summer 09 game so I am expecting a lot if info soon. I am really expecting this to be good, Sucker Punch is great.

EDIT: Yea the detail here is very impressive.

Whats funny is.. Gears and Halo Series are 360s best looking games.. Maybe BioShock.. Games like this for Ps3 look better than Gears and Halo and its the Norm for the PS brand.. While 360 struggles to come out with Good graphical games on a regular basis.. Ps3 does it almost every month it seems like..

I wish that were true LevDog but the last exclusive I bought that looked great was MGS4 and there has been nothing since. It looks like (the already delayed) inFamous has gone from Spring 09 to Summer 09 (easily my most anticipated title) and other than LBP I have nothing but shooters to look forward to.
Luckily there is a few multi-plats coming along that look promising but I doubt they will be graphically superior to their 360 counterparts. Sony have been too dogged in their hardcore market pursuit, putting far too many eggs in the shooter basket. No news on ICO's offering, God of War/God Knows When and with shag all action adventure titles in the works I'm really starting to get off that Sony Exclusives hype train and except that era is over.
Having said that I think the PSN is doing a fantastic job with some of the most innovative titles around.
Off topic: Silogon, you are an incredibly irritating sh*t monger.

14 - GTA was good for last gen
Sony always wants different IPS to shine, not constant rehashes of last gen titles.

This is why sony seem to not care about last gen exclusivities.

Although im dissappointed with lost exclusives, i appreciate Sony's appoach

Figboy - 443 days 7 hours ago
19 - well,
considering that it's being developed by Sucker Punch, of Sly Cooper fame, i'm expecting this game to have:

great visuals: check
silky smooth, responsive controls: (don't know, but i doubt they'd suddenly suck at making silky smooth, responsive controls)
creative gameplay: check (using your electricity powers to read the brain synopses of dead bodies, bringing people back to life, and conversely, sucking the bio-electricity from their bodies to restore some precious juice are pretty damn interesting and creative gameplay mechanics).

why people are so goddamned skeptical about this game is beyond me.

so far, Sony's strongest PS2 first and second party development houses have delivered.

Resistance has knocked three games out of the park already in Resistance, Ratchet: TOD, and Ratchet: QFB.

Naughty Dog has knocked one out of the park with Uncharted.

Even their not so well known developers like Japan Studio and Gamers Republic (which is second party) have done great jobs with games like Siren and Folklore.

if anything, the only real disappointing exclusives on the PS3 have been from third parties (ie, Haze), not including MGS4, however, which is one of the best games ever made.

new IPs like Resistance, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk (hey, it's been over 10 years since we last saw a Warhawk game, so it's basically like a new IP, and considering how radically different it is from the original Warhawk of the PS1 era, it could be thought of as a new IP), Folklore, have delivered some fun gameplay, and amazing visuals and art design.

not every game can be a ginormous "AAA" title, but that doesn't mean they can't be fun.

inFamous is looking fantastic, and judging by the consistent pedigree of the developer, i'm expecting a good time, even if it falls short of the fabled "AAA" status.
