Sony and Sucker Punch's inFAMOUS has had to deal with a lot of comparisons during its development; be it to Crackdown or Prototype. Thanks to the demo, released Wednesday night to preorder holders, that's all going to change. In this modern generation of gaming, a good demo can make or break a game...
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
I loved the demo, and tried to be quiet and keep it to myself but I can't. I've played crackdown and GTA, which were both good games by the way, but inFAMOUS? OMG this is a heavy contender for GOTY. Seriously. How does Sony come up with this stuff? It's hot. Wow, I really sound like a fanboy but seriously, this game is Hot! Please get this game. I haven't been excited for a game since killzone 2, but this absolutely has the potential to be game of the year. Going to check out the demo again. It's off the hook hot. Expect lots of 9s and 10s in the reviews :-) Seriously.
Definite Day 1 Purchase!
prototype and crackdown 2 will look graphically inferior to infamous
the game offers things that I've seen in other games...
it's open world like a GTA game, the elctricity reminds me of The Force: Unleashed...then having the ability to climb anything reminds me of Assassins Creed...while various gameplay elements remind me of Uncharted with an even more advanced cover system....
GotY will be between Uncharted 2, inFamous and some other game I can't think of right now...but Sony owns two of the games I expect to be up for GotY and both of these games look epic...
...actually, inFamous is epic....I'm already sold..
Don't really have time to read all the articles so answered questions are easier. If you like I could teach you to read. It's no trouble really.
Got mine preordered and paid for , used some of my reward points and it will cost me nothing even free shipping !
