Sony: inFamous has "significant demand", will be "good to have" against TitanFall

GearNuke: "The huge success of PlayStation 4 is surely a good news for Sony. As with most popular platforms, Sony also has plans to support the hardware with software. SCE UK's managing director Fergal Gara is quite confident in their upcoming software lineup for PlayStation 4."

[Hatsune-Miku]

Infamous for me

[TomShoe]

In before:

"Titanfall sold more so it must be better! XD"

"Stupid, InFamous:SS is only on PS4 so that's an unfair comparison. Besides, your game looks ugly."

"Have you SEEN Titanfall?"

"Have you SEEN Infamous?"

"Fanboy!"

"Fanboy!"

etc, etc...

[Palitera]

You really should do more of these...

Funny bubble.

[Majin-vegeta]

You forgot my all time favorite

"1080 stretched>1080 Native" xD

OT:Can't wait for this game.

[truefan1]

Must everything be a comparison, there are so many factors that go into sales. Not to mention we are comparing a FPS to an Action Adventure game. Titanfall is going to sell a ton, as well as Infamous. The difference is people probably bought an XB1 this early because of Titanfall, I don't believe that is the complete case for Infamous.

[NewMonday]

inFAMOUSSS is the game I keep thinking about while playing other games

[mediate-this]

Pretty sure you stated it, as you are the second reply on this thread/post. So...yaaa

[quaneylfc]

The sad thing is: this will happen soon hahaha

[idontcare]

Dude calm down, i think Titanfall looks really cool and so does Infamous.

I think the action in Titanfall is very intense and doesn't stop. Watching alpha gameplay feels like watching the first trailer.

But to each his own!

[WrAiTh Sp3cTr3]

"Good to have"? At the moment, it's the only thing y'all have...

[georgeenoob]

I personally don't think it will compete since they're two different genres and Titanfall appeals to much more gamers. Stand-by.

[TomShoe]

@George

ಠ_ಠ

[pyramidshead]

@george your comments seem tired and I feel like you're not trying any more. :(

[MasterCornholio]

I think you need to lay off the coffee.

Guys, don't feed the troll. The best way to fight him is to let him starve.

[Freedomland]

@pyramidshead

Because georgeenoob has to deal many accounts on N4G at the same time.

[idontcare]

yes i think Titanfall will appeal to more gamers but who cares. it's not about sales it's about having fun.

[antz1104]

Infamous 1 and 2 were two of my favorites from this/last gen but they are two totally different genres.

[Palitera]

I thought about it this week, when I was deciding whether to buy also a XB1 or keep only with the PS4 for now.

Titanfall+DR3 vs Infamous.

Infamous, obviously.

[Charybdis]

I would like to go for both, sadly I have to maintain somewhat of a budget.

As I tend to spend more time with multi player games titan-fall does has my preference.

[JoGam]

Im sorry!

[Charybdis]

No need to apologize :p

[killzone619]

because you only have a ps4?

[hellzsupernova]

Infamous is going to get killed in sales by titanfall. Wish that wasn't the case but Microsoft plus ea marketing push is going to be massive!

Infamous would be my personal choice but then first games were never that massive in terms of sales. Hopefully it does as well as killzone shadow fall, sucker punch deserve the recognition

[static360]

lets face it do you really have a choice when you have playstation4?

[CocoWolfie]

the more great games the merrier

[THC CELL]

Infamous all the way, ea can kiss it. Battlefield has put me right off ea fps

[MetaReapre]

Just battlefield? Just my opinion, but because of so many fps's in last gen I want anything but fps's to come out... The more other genres that come out the better.

[THC CELL]

Battlefield is the only ea game I played last gen. I was alway on uncharted last of is war hawk starhawk and infamous killzone and more.

[mediate-this]

There are just as many tps as there fps? Not quite sure if your being serious... Or if your trolling...

[MetaReapre]

@mediate-this
I am being serious, and you are right about the 3rd person shooters too but i am just sick of these fast action shooter games in general. Sure killzone can be fun and others like CoD can be a great competitive fun, but seriously, what happened to the take the calm approach, sneak around and try not to end up in a combat. Last of Us was great for that, but I find that too many games these days you can just solve the problem with going in "guns-a-blazin'" . I like games like dark souls, metal gear solid, ext. Games that make you take a step back and make you think about what your going to do about the situation at hand. I just don't like fast paced action that to me seems pretty mindless because all it is is whoever has the fastest reaction time wins.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

i need a reason to turn on my xbox one, definitely picking up titanfall..infamous was paid off when i bought my ps4.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Infamous>Titanfall I'm sorry EA less FPS and more original titles!

[DarkLordMalik]

I think you meant less fps and more action/adventure or open world titles. In which case, i wholeheartedly agree. The FPS market is already saturated enough.

[Gazondaily]

How are the two related? One is a third person open world game and the other is a competitive FPS?

Why are you addressing EA by the way? Titanfall is Respawn's project.

Anyway, Titanfall for me any day. I've always been a fan of competitive FPS' and Titanfall ticks all the right boxes for me. Also excited for Infamous too but nowhere near as much as Titanfall.

Titanfall is original and a change from what's come before. Is Infamous any more original than Titanfall?

[nategrigs]

@ Septic

The two are related because they are the soon to be released big games. No other big exclusives are coming out soon.

I can't say if infamous is more original than TitanFall (I have gone on a media blackout), but honestly I'm suffering from FPS fatigue. I've played way too many over the past few years and need a break. TitanFall looks amazing if you're into competitive FPSs

[PunisherRevenge]

@Septic....yeah I'll rather take Titanfall over Infamous for now because it's something a little different from what I'm use too. Plus I've already played the Alfa version of the game and let me tell you its dope. The first Infamous was a good game, but the second one sucked. This new one looks like it can rekindle the magic of the first one, but I'm still scared from the last one. So Titanfall day one for me and wait to see the reviews for Infamous before I buy it for my PS4.

[Bennibop]

@Septic Titanfall is not a competitive FPS it is online but is also story driven

[mt]

I don't mind FPS but Infamous for me because what guarantees that Titanfall will not be as buggy as battlefield ?

I don't trust EA at all.

[Gazondaily]

What?

You do realise EA didn't make the games right?

Battlefield was developed by DICE. Titanfall is being developed by Respawn.

[intellegent]

But EA decides if the game gets delayed or not, BF4 clearly should of been delayed.

[mt]

EA pushes for earlier releases thus all the bugs in battlefield 4 and so on.

[Charybdis]

Well titan-fall basicly is a new original IP with a different approach to a (COD) FPS.

[pyramidshead]

Agree, an offline game with IP recognition that looks as equal fun to play as Titanfall does, that everyone can play(internet connection not necessary!) VS a new IP that not everyone can actually play even if they wanted to(which is sort of my position if I was bothered about it) + no offline single player.

[bennissimo]

The irony of your statement is compelling.

Infamous will be the 2nd sequel in its series, whereas Titanfall is the debut of the series.

And if you had actually played Titanfall, you would see how it brings together disparate ingredients to make a thoroughly original game.

[SasukeX16]

Except a Single player.

[Batnut00]

Already got Infamous preordered and Picking up an Xbox One soon so March will be an awesome month for me.

[SoulSercher620]

This is the game that is making me buy a PS4. This will be a feast for the eyes.

[TM333]

"Good to have" against Titanfall. Hmmm... Anyone who doubts that Sony has anything less than stellar, amazing things in store for us are kidding themselves. It's just going to get better and better. We ain't seen nothin' yet!

[PunisherRevenge]

Yeah that's the problem we ain't seen nothing yet. Hopefully this game is good and not just eye candy like killzone.

[Eonjay]

I think both will be fun and both will sell well. Infamous is the truly exclusive though. Titanfall is on PC and Xbox 360. So more people will potentially miss out on Infamous.

[djplonker]

Ea ****ed up and took microsofts dirty money so when ea realise that more than half of next gen owners will not buy or play their game but yet they will wonder why not many people would want titanfall 2 on ps4!
(I could get it on pc but I would need to install origin eew)

Plus I placed my bets ages ago IMO Destiny>Titanfall

[Eonjay]

I would say that EA got paid so even though they are losing profits they aren't losing out completely. Its worse for Respawn because its a brand new franchise and they should want as many people to be able to try it as possible.

[polow got sol]

Infamous will be ok but let's be real its a sp game that once you beat it you're pretty much done with. Titanfall seems to have much more value and more bang for your buck and just an overall better game. It's a game you will be playing with your friends and family for years.

[RadioActiveTwinky]

They already said one playthrough is not enough on Infamous. One reason they said was that certain missions would be closed off depending on your world decisions. Meaning different endings as well.
I played Last Of Us sp 5 times, and I still want moar!!!
If a game is good you'll want to keep playing it no matter if it's sp or mp.

[pandehz]

Cant compare playthroughs against a multiplayer game.

For eg Mass Effect 2 I played 5 times which was a total of 120 or so hrs but every playthrough was more and more diluted than the last, skipping through cutscenes etc.

BF3 multiplayer I played now for 300+ hrs and it was and is fresh everytime.

Same for Diablo 3 and this one even makes you playthrough the campaign areas again and again. But because it is mp co-op there is a certain dynamism that keeps it fresh. Working with other players etc.

Infamous:SS might turn out to be a wonderful game but playthroughs and replayability should not be discussed against Titanfall.

[RadioActiveTwinky]

I've played BF3 for over 300 hours also. I really wouldn't call it "fresh" I would call it fun. Same buildings collapsing, just like an open world game. Same corridors to go through just a different weapon shooting at you. Or in metro same nade fest over and over at B site.
What makes them "fresh" is the approach or decisions you make in an open world.
Take Assassins Creed 4. I can chose to take the safe route to an island or take the tough route that has pirates, Spanish ships and hurricanes.
Each playthrough like in multiplayer will have different results and experiences. Hence an open world game can be just as good as multiplayer game. Only difference is one you can finish and enjoy a story while the other is getting the next weapon/perk unlock. Once your reach that you can choose to keep playing the open world or choose to keep shooting.

[hellzsupernova]

I agree with you I played heavy rain through eight times. Eight play throughs roughly eight to ten hours. That's more time then I spend with a lot of games the only other games that compare are war thunder, I spent eighty hours on that game and it is multiplayer only.

I got more value out of heavy rain than any multiplayer I have bought including battlefield 3, killzone, etc

[KillrateOmega]

Just like that one series that everyone has been playing over and over and over again for years now. I can't quite place the name though, Call of - something...

[bennissimo]

Silly!

Infamous isn't good for ONE playthrough!

It's good for TWO!

;)

[The Great Melon]

I have this argument with my friends all the time. Some are of your opinion that multiplayer gives you many hours of play, but I disagree as each match is effectively the same game over and over with slightly different AI (humans). I would say there is far more value in a quality single player games because they are designed to be varied over the course of a playthrough. This is why I tire of most multiplayer games after a couple hours.

[CrustifiedDibbs]

both of these games are going to be great. im a little more excited for titanfall, but infamous is not far behind.

[Megaton]

Buying a PS4 for Infamous. Would play Titanfall, but it's published by EA. All you Xboners better buy it used.

[Duke19]

Wish they weren't coming out so close together - cant wait to pickup both

[Fishy Fingers]

I expect Titanfall to over shadow Infamous in just about everyway possible. Reviews and sales. It's just a much more popular genre and the hype speaks for itself.

Personally, I'll enjoy both :)

[N311V]

I agree. I also think that if Titanfall were on PS4 it would definitely outsell Infamous.

[PersonMan]

How can Titanfall over shadow Infamous Second Son? After all, PS4 players can't play Titanfall and XBox One players can't play Infamous.

[mrpsychoticstalker]

Its a new IP against and old one. Something fresh is way better. Titanfall for me.

@Weatelegion.

So fixing means praising a game that i have never been interested in (infamous)?

Fixing means not expressing my own opinion on a video games forums website?

If i like a game better than the other , theres nothing wrong with that. Play games not consoles. The only single,one game that gets my attention from the ps4 is the Order.

Thats my opinion.

Murder me now

[WeAreLegion]

You should probably fix that comment before you get murdered with retorts.

Obviously, not every new IP is better than older IP's. I don't think anyone would take Ride To Hell over Super Mario 3D World.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Just because Titanfall is a new IP doesn't make it fresh. It's COD with mechs and 6v6 with bots plus no campaign. Really the game shouldn't be $60.

[Fishy Fingers]

Wow, where did you get such in informative understanding of Titanfall? N4G comment section?

[UnHoly_One]

Jealous much?

[WeAreLegion]

I'm getting inFamous:SS and Titanfall on PC...but I'm MUCH more excited for inFamous. Titanfall will be fun and it'll be great for LAN parties, but I don't expect much depth beyond that.

[WeaseL]

Infamous and later Titanfall (The Definitive PC Edition) will look great on my 4k monitor.

[Sevir]

Given the Truelly next gen Software Drought on Both Platforms I expect Both Infamous and Titan Fall to sell equally well across the Next Gen platforms... By March there will be pretty close to 6 million PS4s and 5 million XBOs. Both will crack 2 million given the hype, Infamous however has a fanbase while Titanfall is a new IP with fervorous hype levels, Something the PS4 is still under.

Infamous being an established franchise with a passionate fanbase will see to it that this game clears a million easily, but what will push this past 2 million and up will be the fact that it's Hyped just as much as Titan Fall, often compared because it's in march, It's a Real Next Gen Title, People on PS4 are ready for the next big exclusive and it's the front runner for 2014's biggest line up. And finally Sony's already dumping loads of cash for marketing...

[KillrateOmega]

With Call of Duty: Ghosts, I finally managed to break out of the vicious, Call of Duty cycle. Titanfall is, to my eyes, essentially just Call of Duty with mechs and wallrunning, and I am not interested getting back into sort of Call of Duty cycle. The game looks fun, don't get me wrong, but I've had quite enough of that particular brand of fun for a while.

inFAMOUS combines some of my favorite things in life: superpowers, video games, and art. It's like it was made specifically for me. Needless to say, the choice wasn't hard to make.

[ElementX]

You mean you actually bought into the COD cycle? I buy a COD once every few releases

[KillrateOmega]

Yeah. I know.

I found myself growing more and more tired of the games as time yet on. I still play it every now and then when I'm hanging out with my friends, but I've stopped buying them.

Even if I hadn't grown tired of it, there are just so many other great games out there that my time would just be too divided.

[MannGamer]

I actually bought them all and at release date because my friends would buy it and we could play together (Friday Night, Saturday morning). But I haven't spend time at all on Modern Warefare 3 and Black Ops 2.

[Lboogieskells]

This is childish, why are we comparing two totally different games? What's next? A Driveclub and Super Motherload?

[Chase51]

Infamous for me. Titanfall doesn't sound or look that good to me

[Mr_Luke]

I'm waiting for inFamous:SS, i'd really like to play it NOW! And btw you can't compare these 2 games, i'd understand something like infamous VS crackdown or something, Titanfall VS whatever FPS. They're just saying "it's good we have a game that the people are interested in, so we have something to contrast another big exclusive game on another console". We have this, you have that. Someone prefers this, someone prefers that. I think i'd like both, but Titanfall is a must on PC for me, that's where probably i get it, unless it's not as good as they paint it. I would try it anyway.

[kewlkat007]

An online only game that is on 3 platforms and will be played for years if it turns out well VS a Single Player sandbox game.

My money is on Titanfall for longevity, exposure and replay value. Infamous is a game I could buy a PS4 for but will wait for a true exclusive JRPG.

[SixtyNine]

Infamous, not just 'cause it's infamous, but because I'd rather play single-player than Multi-player. I have control over how much I'll enjoy a Single-player experience. . . unlike multi-player.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I prefer single player mostly so I am more excited about Infamous but Titanfall will probably be the first MP only game I purchase.

[Grave]

March contains so much epicness that I fear the entire world might explode.

[bjmartynhak]

The attachment ratio for Titanfall will be higher on XBO than Infamous on PS4.

Just saying...

[shmeedy24685]

I'm going to enjoy both games very much when they're released, can't wait :)

[SpadeX]

inFamous because I'm the first son.

[GreatnessAwaits]

I'll be getting both even though I'm kind of tired of FPS. That's the power of having a PS4 and PC. You get to play all of PS amazing exclusives and most Xbox One decent exclusives

[MAULxx]

Titanfall doesn't interest me at all. The only FPS games on my radar is Wolfenstein TNO and Destiny.
My big decision is between Infamous SS and MGSV GZ.
May pony up for both.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Both for me.

But at least Infamous has a single player campaign.
