What kind of "online interactions"???

velocitygamer4831d ago

YES! It's coming out 3 days before my bday :D

This is definitely going to be my bday present :P

malandra4831d ago

day 1, no matter what reviews say

badz1494831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

screw your birthday dude! (trying to say that in the best manner possible) that means you'll be playing it 3 days late! - 2 days at the earliest if there's midnight launch and you're celebrating you birthday party at 0:00AM! Cole screams DAY 1!

malandra4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

yakuza 4, MLB The Show and PS Move Heroes in march
motorstorm apocalypse and socom 4 in april
and infamous 2 in june???

no big exclusive in may? no way, Sony is turning into to MS, we need our exclusive fix every month

telekineticmantis4831d ago

and that is a great collectors edition but game producers, devs etc. must learn that putting a little anime with the collectors edition will sell it like hotcakes, but the comic is interesting also.

klapkip4831d ago

@ malandra

Don't forget the ICO & Shadow of Colussus Collection....and if thats not enough : Oddword Strangers Wrath HD (also may or june)

Commander_TK4831d ago

June 7th. Good, that's b4 I go off on my 2 month summer vacation.

Rynx4831d ago

I knew it was going to be a Summer release.

This and Batman: Arkhum City is going to make for a nice summer in gaming

hobo514831d ago

i hate all the preoder bullshit, i want all the cool features :( but still cant wait for the game!

sikbeta4831d ago

I got the money waiting for this Freaking Awesome Sequel, can't wait....

Headquarters114831d ago

They should've left him like he was before. "Old" cole doesn't fit his new voice. Thanks for ruining it Crybabies.

jack_burt0n4831d ago

Lets also remember how many 7 and 8 scores infamous got.

And how now its widely regarded as one of the best games of this generation by people that actually played it through.

INFAMOUS IS AAA

And sucker punch are some of the best developers around.

DaTruth4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

Can't believe I'm saying this but with all these great games coming, it's a good thing I'm getting laid off this year! I don't know if I'm actually getting laid off but they couldn't have picked a better time!

And for those wondering how I'll pay for all the games; 10 years of severance FTW!!!! Employment insurance FTW!!!! Personal Injury lawsuit FTW!!!!

Ravage274830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

A June release is just perfect. Now i have enough time to clear my backlog and invest quality time with GT5,LBP2 and KZ3.

@DaTruth
wow, 10 years of severance????

badz1494830d ago

OMG man, that's the spirit! always being positive. all the best to you, man!

BoNeSaW234830d ago

This is the first Collectors Edition I have ever considered shelling out the extra dough for. Everything in the bundle is Awesome! And for only $40 more bucks with a replica backpack that fits a laptop! SOLD.

Sweet, perfect time for me. Can't wait.

saladthieves4831d ago

It looks good. I can't wait for the sequel!

Christopher4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

Kessler skin... look like your much older self :p

In general, hate to see that pre-order bonuses are by retailer. I know it's the nature of the beast type of thing, but kind of annoying still.

Rynx4831d ago

dude???

Where's the *SPOILER ALERT* warning??

Christopher4831d ago

Spoiler alert on a 2-year old game? Really?

Commander_TK4831d ago

Luckily for me, I have played the game, but dude, a spoiler is always a spoiler.

Blacktric4831d ago

I bought Medal Of Honor, Dead Space 2 and will buy Dragon Age 2 when it releases and won't be able to buy anything else till June. Now I know what I'll be getting though.

FACTUAL evidence4831d ago

Perfect release day. I can catch up on other titles. Infamous 2 looks amazing. Day 1 brother.

malandra4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

too long to wait

Jaces4831d ago

What's with the collector backpacks lately?

Crazyglues4830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

OMG!!! This sh&t just got real.... June 7th OMG!!

That's closer then I was ever expecting this one.. I think amazon had a placement date of Dec.. so I was thinking fall of 2011 for sure...

-but now it's this summer - 4 months away.. wow Amazing...

what an amazing gaming year this is going to be-

KillZone 3 feb 22 -
Homefront Mar 15 -
Crysis 2 Mar 22 -
L.A. Norie May 17 -
Infamous Jun 7th.. Wow

That's five games- that's like $300 dollars right there, this year is going to be expensive.

(that's like a new hot game every month and that's just the beginning of 2011)
-Don't even get me starting on what's coming in the fall

seinfan4830d ago

Good thing I'm only interested in one of those games you listed.

Crazyglues4830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

@ seinfan

Lucky you, as a Gamer I have to get all of those... I like all 5...

and I already know I'm going to need uncharted 3 and The Last Guardian in the fall.. hell I can name 5 games of the top of my head that are a must have for me in the fall..

Metal Gear Rising
RAGE
ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection -
(had it on PS2, don't know why I never finished it, awesome game)
Ghost Recon
Future Solider
Resistance 3

and those are must haves, I didn't even name what I might just get because people might say this one is really good..

So which one are you getting? Just Infamous 2?

seinfan4830d ago

Nah, just LA Noire. As for others, I'm looking forward to UC3, Gears 3, and the SC Trilogy (I'm utilizing amazon preorder incentives, So I might be able to knock off about $50). I'm a very picky gamer. FPSs aren't my thing, so no KZ3, Crysis 2, or Resistance 3 for me. I played the first infamous, but I didn't care for it. Fun for a while, but the combat seemed too wonky.
I do want to build my PS3 library with games that have been out already. At the moment, I only have all three God of Wars. I got my PS3 only about 2 months ago. Haven't played because I'm in college and left it at home. I want to get MGS4, Heavy Rain, and the first two UCs. Will get these used more than likely.

KRATOS-PS34830d ago

this game will be pure fun!

Reminds me to the first inFAMOUS box art.

Infiny4831d ago (Edited 4831d ago )

I liked the EU cover a lot more.

godslayer4294831d ago

i agree its 12X better than the american one, plus there collectors edition comes with a lithograph of our boxart

Cajun Chicken4831d ago

That's a freaking awesome cover!

DrRichtofen4831d ago

Wow I like that cover way more than the US one, why can't they just make all the covers the same so everybody gets the awesome one.

sickbird4831d ago

damn US boxart always sucks, we always get face shots! thats not cool sony!!

LolololRumz4831d ago

We always seem to get the better box art in EU (Heavy Rain etc.) I love both though

Convas4831d ago

WTF? Why must america always get the lame covers. GAHHH. I want that EU box. X(

sikbeta4831d ago

Damn it, That EU Cover is Just too Awesome compared to the NA one...

JonLon4830d ago

I agree.. the EU cover is better. In terms of composition, the American one looks sort of messy, while the EU looks mysterious and powerful. They seem to be reading comments on the blog, so I'm going to be one of the voices saying use the EU cover instead ;)

Also, about the lithograph someone mentioned, did you notice how EU is getting a lot of love? They are also getting the "Old Cole" skin where he is wearing his jacket from the first game, on top of the other extras the American version gets.

Nice to see a good game released in the summer. Usually those are pretty dry months in terms of gaming.

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.

Alexious353d ago

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

-Foxtrot353d 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

potatoseal353d ago

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

anast352d 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.

masterfox353d 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_drake353d 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. "

Flawlessmic743d ago (Edited 743d 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.

Welshy742d 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.

Flawlessmic742d ago (Edited 742d 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 👌

RedDevils742d ago (Edited 742d ago )

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

Flawlessmic742d 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.

outsider1624743d ago

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

seanpitt23743d ago

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

Luc20743d ago

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

The_Hooligan743d ago

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

moriarty1889743d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k743d ago (Edited 743d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

A brand new version of the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, brings major graphical improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more.

Game-ur1406d 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 Logic1405d 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.

DethWish1405d ago (Edited 1405d 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 Logic1405d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish1405d 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

MadLad1405d 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?

anonymousfan1405d 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.

Melankolis1405d 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.

Harkins17211405d 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

EazyC1405d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking821405d ago (Edited 1405d 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 .
