First InFamous Review(s)

[Remysaus]

Friday can't come soon enough :(

So happy I took Tuesday off now.

Played the demo, was pretty good. However I'm probably not going to pick this up right now seeing as they made all the new games $70 now. Will wait for a price drop and coupon codes on Amazon ;)

Really? That is odd, as prices almost seem to be coming down here. Just a few $$ but not going up.

i think GTA 4 spoilled me :( as this game doesnt do it for me......

Fricking Shopto emailed and told me they removed my card details because my account was inactive for 3 months.

Worst time ever when I have a game on preorder and they email a few days earlier about giving away the beta code if your order fails.

Just as well I was awake to correct it.

I might just buy this game, but what about Prototype? heh and will infamous have multi?

[WastedJoker]

Infamous doesn't have multiplayer and I doubt they could patch it in.

[t0mbi]

Prototype originally had co op..but they removed it BUT they said it is a possibility of adding co op in DLC in the future..

These kind of games will be ****ing awesome with co op! :)

inFamous isn't as loose as Crackdown, it has a storyline to follow surrounding one character. Crackdown was just a collection of boss fights really.

If inFamous was to have Co-Op it would basically need to be a second campaign, or at the very least just Co-Op for a screw around, but that wouldn't be fun for that long. We'll see what they can come up with for inFamous 2 if it comes around.

Crackdown was awesome with a friend, twice the number of explosions and fun. I can only imagine inFAMOUS being even better, shame we'll never know for certain.

^ QFT, I remember Larry and I sat one day just to try it out for like 15 mins while he had some spare time. We ended up playing for hours and just talking about the game having a blast trying out stupid goals we set and stuff we saw on YouTube.

Lovely to hear a fellow Dane doing an English review in a thick Danish potato accent (Y)

Any chance we could get this topic renamed to [Official] inFamous Thread since the game is nearing release!

PS Can't wait!

I'll put up an official topic in the next few days! If no one else wants to do it/does it first.

Our new policy is wait until near release for official topics so they aren't 10+ pages of rambling before the game even hits :p I know it hits America on the 26th so I'll try have a topic done for then. EU is 29th.

[jelli]

Ahh ok, wasn't sure what the official stance is. Look forward to discussing the game when it gets released, banned myself from the demo now so it's all new and fresh when the game gets released. Only issue is that I forget to change delivery so I am going to have to drive to Manchester from Liverpool to pick it up on Friday morning. :(

[Gavin001]

Loved the demo, great gameplay, excellent animation and had tones of fun just running around climbing on stuff! And also was quite suprised how hard it cud be especially those bloody big white freaks!

Would be getting it day one but money is very tight and have money aside for car and going in holidays in about 2weeks lol.....mayb able to trade in some games for it thou...hmmmm

[sn00pie]

I thought the demo was pretty good. It's still not enough for me to want the game, but it is quite impressive.

[LocoNeo]

Just picked up my copy this morning (yay America!), and I've started on my "good" campaign. So far, I'm loving the game just as much as I loved the demo; it's so nice to FINALLY get a game that actually lives up to the hype!

I'm looking forward to seeing the multiple endings and different missions for good & bad - I really think this may be my personal GotY. If anyone hasn't downloaded the demo yet, I'd recommend doing it soon; I heard that some stores are already running out of the copies that have the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta codes in 'em, so you'll want to make a decision about getting the game soon, if you want in on that!

Pretty good game so far, my only gripe is that the karma system is ludicrously blunt. Instead of coming upon situations and having to figure out for yourself what would be right and what would be wrong the game actually stops, tells you that you're about to do something that could earn you karma, and then explains exactly what your two choices are, leaving no real moral dilemma, but just "press triangle over this object to do the right thing or triangle over that to do the wrong."

Eh, it doesn't really bother me - I mean, they had to quantify the moral choices somehow just to make it actually feasible for the game; it's not like the software is capable of judging a million shades of moral greyness. It's a game, not a priest. :p I'm still having plenty of fun with it - although I'm trying to hurry up and push through my first full run this weekend; I'd like to have one karma run completed before the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta starts on Wednesday. Then, I'm guessing I'll be splitting time between that and a second inFamous run for pretty much most of June. Sweet.

Maybe this should be locked and everyone should move over to the "Official" topic.
