Does anyone know if the PSN version of inFamous stores data in the 'Game Data Utility' folder, like the disc version?

Thanks.

itani4723d ago

I'm downloading it now, I will let you know mate.

gaffyh4723d ago

Works perfectly fine for me. There is a patch out for the game btw, maybe you need to download that.

itani4723d ago

It works with the downloadable Infamous 1 ;).

e1ace4723d ago

Mine didn't. Was there ever a patch or anything for inFamous 1?

I have my game saves but inFamous doesn't see them... really sucks.

himdeel4723d ago

The downloadable game doesn't read the disc save data :(

I was going to play through my old saved data with the downloadable version and it made me start from the beginning of the game. When I pop my disc in it reads the save data.

Hopefully they'll have the time to fix this now with a patch.

reznik_zerosum4723d ago

why people care about trophy things,i really dont understand ?

BrianG4723d ago

Why people care to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, steal, lie excessively, I really don't understand.

What I do understand is that everyone is different, people enjoy different things. If it's not for you, it's for someone else.

Jonah_Reese4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

Dude Trophies are fun and cool, I didn't care about them either but it's so satisfying to get one.

pxpxp4723d ago

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

Solidus187-SCMilk4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

the infamous save data is stored under my "saved data utility (PS3)" folder.

my "game data utility" folder only has game updates and game installs in it, none from infamous since I have the DL version. All my game saves are under the "saved data utility(PS3)" folder.

The actual game is saved in its own folder at the bottom like demos are.

hope that helps you.

gamingisnotacrime4723d ago

now i got it on digital and the saved data was intact.

Jaces4723d ago

This really sucks, I had my Fat PS3 die on me without being able to recover any of the data on my HDD. I had to reformat it to install it in my Slim PS3 so I lost every game data file that wasn't saved on Cloud....inFamous was one of them.

Ugh, not fair. Please Sucker Punch, come up with a patch soon! I have Platinum I swear!

All you get is you start off being either a little bit more good or a little bit more evil depending on your save data. Nothing really that big. And some other which I can't remember but I remember thinking they were nothing special

TLG19914723d ago

it has nothing to do with save data its your trophies.

i wonder what karma it gives if you have all the trophies i guess ill find out later when i put it on.

BeaArthur4723d ago

Agreed, I noticed that it didn't work for me but I didn't really care, it just gives you a slight boost at the beginning of the game.

WildArmed4723d ago

Aye, it's like that Uncharted 2 implementation.
You start off w/ a few extra grands.

It's a nice addition, but it won't matter as you play on.

-EvoAnubis-4723d ago

It's more that that. Some of the sidequests will also be based on choice that you made in inFamous 1, and some of the dead drops will also mention specific things you did.

BeaArthur4723d ago

-EvoAnubis-...I hadn't heard that. Where's your source on that one?

gamestorecowgirl4723d ago

@bea
Check articles on infamous 2. Anubis is right. I know for sure joystiq said something about dialogue changing.

BeaArthur4723d ago

Eh, either way it's not like Mass Effect so I'm sure I'll get by. Will probably keep my save data this time though.

-EvoAnubis-4723d ago

My source on that is having beat the game twice and being on my third playthough right now.

Murgatroyd74723d ago

I'm both curious and put-off by this.

koehler834723d ago

I don't think it has anything to do with trophy data. It simply imports previous save data. So of course you need the previous save data in order to import it.

Whenever I started the game it showed me my list of available files to import and the bonuses I would unlock with each.

sourav934723d ago

This article is referring to the "Game" data, not save data. So, according to this article, if you deleted your inFamous install from you PS3's HDD, then apparently you won't be able to access the bonuses related to unlocked inFamous trophies, not previous save data. But yes, having the save data will also unlock bonuses for you.

HeavenlySnipes4723d ago

its only trophy data. If you have full infamous karma in InFamous you can get 1 full bad karma level for InFamous 2 from the get go and vice versa with good karma.

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.

-Foxtrot357d 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

potatoseal357d ago

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

anast356d 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.

masterfox357d 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_drake357d 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. "

Flawlessmic747d ago (Edited 747d 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.

Welshy747d 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.

Flawlessmic746d ago (Edited 746d 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 👌

RedDevils746d ago (Edited 746d ago )

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

Flawlessmic746d 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.

outsider1624747d ago

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

seanpitt23747d ago

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

Luc20747d ago

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

The_Hooligan747d ago

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

moriarty1889747d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

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

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

Mr Logic1410d 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.

DethWish1410d ago (Edited 1410d 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 Logic1410d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish1409d 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

MadLad1409d 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?

anonymousfan1410d 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.

Melankolis1409d 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.

Harkins17211409d 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

EazyC1409d ago

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

Gamerking821409d ago (Edited 1409d 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 .
