Andrew Weymes of The Nightly Gamer writes: "The Playstation 3 exclusive entitled Infamous is set to electrify gamers later on this year, but this newcomer to the open world scene has a lot of pressure resting on its shoulders. Playstation 3 owners seem rather confident that their console is able to produce better visuals than the competition, so it only makes sense that Infamous should set the bar for open world games in terms of graphics."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
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.
firstly kz2 has already proven the raw techincal grunt of the ps3, from a neutral point of view its the best looking console game ever made and thats only within 2 years of the ps3s lifecycle, gaming sites are already declaring that kz2 has already been surpassed by gow3 and uncharted 2 so i dont need infamous to judge what console is more powerful.
by its reckoning and logic i should say... 'haze' is a exclusive ps3 fps and as it doesnt look better than any 360 fps's that must mean the ps3 isnt more powerful? this article is deeply flawed
Graphics in open world games have been horrendous so far. GTA 4 looked okay on a CRT TV but playing it on a HDTV it looked straight up garbage it was an absolute eye sore, Saints Row didn't prove to be any better, prototypes graphics are slightly better than GTA4.
How big is Infamous though? If it's half the size of GTA4 than that's an achievement I suppose.

Yes because the jaggy no anti-aliasing and the blockyness really stood out for you.
The PS3 version is confirmed to have less pop-in by the way, so don't get all fanboy.
if Getaway 3 was still in production, it would of had set the standard for graphics in open world gameplay. dont know about the gameplay though.
This game will be run over by Mafia 2 and LA Noire.
Both multi and both open world.
much graphically from Infamous. If it can get close to Uncharted visuals then i would be more than happy.
What i more interested in Infamous is the story and especially the gameplay which from what i have seen sofar is better than uncharted imo.
