Infamous 2 on-rails demo left me cold

SG: The on-rails 8 minute demo of Infamous 2 that I played at PAX Prime 2010, just felt awkward. Like a conversation with a really hot girl. It’s going to be awkward, but you keep going because she’s hot.

What was wrong and what was right about Infamous 2, after the jump.

First off, Infamous starts you out using melee combat constantly. I don’t get this at all. Why would you hit anything up close if you could just zap it with lightning? Seriously.

Stop whining.
What you saw is a demo based on a mission, and missions are scripted events.

this guy is an idiot!! he explained the same demo we've been seeing for months. its scripted, its a story mission, of course its gonna be like that! wtf man. journalism sucks these days.

EDIT: oh, its sarcastic gamer. maybe he was supposed to sound stupid?

SaberEdge5012d ago

Everything I have seen from inFamous 2 looks awesome. I don't see how an open world game can really be on rails anyway.

inFamous 2 is a day 1 buy for me.

sikbeta5012d ago

but guys, it's coming from sarcasticgamer.com, so the author forgot to add the /s

Seriously, WTF! Game gonna be Awesome, this "article" is either a big F*cking sarcasm or just complete stupidity...

" Like a conversation with a really hot girl. It’s going to be awkward, but you keep going because she’s hot."

I don't get nervous or feel awkward when talking or going out with Hot girls?!?! So I'm not really following here?!?

BTW, just because cole has the ability to shoot lightning out of his hands doen't mean he shouldn't be able to still kick some a$$ the old school way;)

"just felt awkward. Like a conversation with a really hot girl"

Some people just aren't used to talking to hot girls, apparently.
Heh heh, you asked for it, Mr. Author.

Silly Mammo5012d ago (Edited 5012d ago )

Let be honest. He's never ever talked to a really hot girl. Unless his sister's really hot... I joke!

inbetweener5012d ago (Edited 5012d ago )

I'm sure he's chatted with several hot "girls" online.

Tachyon_Nova5012d ago

Lets be honest, if you (or I) had hot girlfriends, we wouldnt be trolling on here would we?

coolfool5012d ago

It's like talk talking to a hot girl where the conversation is awkward, not because she's hot but for some other reason like she has no chat. Which, in my humble experience, is quite common for hot girls. They have never had to use their personality to get people to talk to them so as such they don't really have anything interesting to say.

Like I said, just my experience..............

Shane Kim5012d ago

Shane Kim is fine with hot boys.

sikbeta5012d ago

Nerds don't meet girls... of any kind...

...I think the "awkward social outcast gamer" concept died in the early 90's....

i for one don't get awkward with a hot girl, unless I have some sort of feeling towards her (but thats regardless of how hot the girl is, its just emotional xD)

and that aside... "Why would you hit anything up close if you could just zap it with lightning?"

Because sometimes its strategically wiser. I hope he's being sarcastic, or else he's a very inexperienced infamous player.

thats aside...wtv what a waste of time =P

@GWAVE: DUDE! seriously NOTHING to do with the article =/ now you've attracted the KDF (kinect defense force) onto this article WAY TO GO! -_- if we posted less flame comments we'd have less retarded fanboys ranting over useless crap

@ Omega- *licks tear off face*

'and that aside... "Why would you hit anything up close if you could just zap it with lightning?"

Could be that...or...

Maybe...just maybe, you just got finished zapping 50 guys or so and now, damn it, you want to feel someone's nose pulverize under your fist, or hear the gunshot like report of that orbital socket cracking, or you miss picking broken pieces of teeth out of your knuckles as you prepare to bandage them, or...maybe I need my medicine again...

Typical PS3 fanboys. Whenever there's a negative PS3 preview, attack MS or its games.

cayal5012d ago

"attack MS or its games."

What games?

commodore645012d ago

Well done, Cayal, you just proved his point.
How utterly predictable.

cayal5012d ago

I asked a question, one that neither you or he answered.

Guess I was right.

badz1495012d ago

does the writer even knows what "on-rail" means?

poopsack5012d ago

We should start a petition to eliminate melee from every game with long ranged weapons.

Now look above kids, this is actual sarcasm, its very different from whatever Sarcasticgamer thinks it is.

crappy pun FTW

Aclay5012d ago

Agreed.

While I don't expect every site to find everything about Infamous 2 flawless, the first Infamous was a very solid game to begin with and all I've seen thus far is improvements on top of improvements in Infamous 2. I'm pretty confident this sequel is going to top the first game in both critical reception and sales, regardless of any nitpicking from any other site. Really can't wait to get my hands on it next year.

Fishy Fingers5012d ago (Edited 5012d ago )

Well I guess it's difficult to demo a sandbox game. They cant just offer up the whole map, but by just giving you a mission, especially when its a "chase mission", it can seem limited or on-rails or whatever.

See, the on-rail missions dont bother you when you have the full game because you've already had the chance to just f*** about in the world. A scripted section can actually be a pleasant change of pace. Much like GTA though, the most fun I have in a sandbox game is just messing around and causing chaos.

Still, I wouldnt mind having a go on the demo.

Unicron5012d ago

Careful with that there logic round these parts.

CBaoth5012d ago

Even if there weren't fanboys or trolls here to argue with, 75% of people here would invent an imaginary one to carry on the good fight

Unicron5012d ago

No you!

Oh sorry, I got sidetracked there for a sec.

You were saying?

jwatt5012d ago

Fishy you said exactly what I wanted to say. There's actually a section like that in infamous 1 where if you don't follow the helicopter fast enough you'll have to start over.

The Lazy One5012d ago

I will give credit to crackdown/2 in that their demo system is near perfect for a sandbox game. Start you in a place at the beginning of a set of story missions, but you're free to skip them and just spend your time jumping around the city if you so choose.

The one game type that works for timed demos.

inFamous 3: We Want A Second Son Sequel

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot371d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

potatoseal371d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast370d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox371d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake371d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

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.

Welshy761d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic761d ago (Edited 761d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils761d ago (Edited 761d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic761d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624762d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt23762d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20762d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan761d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889761d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k761d ago (Edited 761d ago )

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic1424d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish1424d ago (Edited 1424d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic1424d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish1424d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad1424d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan1424d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis1424d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17211424d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

Gamerking821424d ago (Edited 1424d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
