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
Wow. Kind of a lame review, if you ask me. Infamous is this year's first AAA open-world game, and it's probably going to be this year's highest-rated open-world game, too.
They even say at the end: "despite a seemingly negative review, overall we did enjoy the first play through because it’s a good game and the free-running and shooting are second to none."
So basically, they say "We liked the game and the free-running is the best out there, but we still decided to give it a 7/10." Huh? Explain, please.
*Sigh* don't you just love N4G contributors who write up bullshit on low profiled sites just to stir up some controversy?
For example, opening up the paragraph with
"inFamous isn't a system seller and, all things considered, isn't even a guaranteed sale to anyone but the most hardened Sony fanbase."
Pretty much proves my point.
thats just stupid...... im buying this game couse the demo was amazing fun. i played it sooo many times now. how is it a sonyfan thing to like this game. does this mean that all the reviewers out there are sony fans? please....... its not like we dont have an alternativ.
i dont care about reviews on any site ... if you like the game,it's based on your opinion.. for example i would give ufc 10/10
inFamous looks like a solid 10/10. and i know for a fact it better than gta4
Who cares? Infamous has been getting 8s, 9s, 10s, A+, 90/100 s up and down the review boards. Of course there have to be a few haters but that doesn't matter. Even a 7 is not that bad.
