NowGamer: games features editor Matt Handrahan, who is currently reviewing inFamous, reckons Sony may have forced Sucker Punch to cut a few corners by bringing forward the game's release date by over a month.
"When a game gets brought forward then you expect it to be a certain way, especially if it is a first party published game exclusive to a format," opined Handrahan.
"You rarely see a game under those circumstances that is not polished to a high shine – the version of inFamous I played definitely wasn't that and the ways that it was lacking in polish really detracted from the game...It looks like it could've used another six weeks of work..."
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
No.
So like...I read this grade A piece of journalism here and...how exactly does it feel unfinished again? The author never explained how, it was just "I think it feels unfinished and I feel it needed another 6 weeks of work." Well that sure is informing.
I hope this is nonsense but I do recall Brian Fleming in an interview at GDC talking about how Sony hadn't forced them into any deadline and that they hopefully would have more time to complete the game. A week later the release date was brought forward and the game rapidly went gold.
Edit: Here is that interview..

wait... so this guy is claiming that a DEMO seems "unfinished"??
ALERT THE MEDIA!!
STOP THE PRESSES!!
man, people will do anything to fish for web traffic nowadays...
just accept the fact that this might be a pretty good game.
Why would they be given an unfinished version to review??
