Five Minutes of Infamous

Infamous looks rubbish. And this is old news.

And 1st Comment woop lol

This looks fun, but at this stage, and judging from this video, it needs more polish. But you can't expect it to look perfect right now. It has promise, and it looks like a really fun game. I loved the sly cooper series, so I have high hopes for this.

I'm actually kinda excited about this. It looks like a better version of crackdown. Not to mention, it is still very early in this games development, giving a good reason why things look kinda cruddy in this preview. But I did love the Sly Cooper games, and if this game has the same level of polish that those games had, I will be very pleased.

Definitely needs some more polish, but I'm still excited.

Someone sucks at aiming.

meh... Looks Assassin's Creed with electricity. Could be good. I'll wait and see when its more polished and some of the bugs are removed

This game looks really good. The only thing I'm worried about is that this game will end up like a shooter with electricity instead of bullets. And this reminds me, whatever happened to Prototype?

@bowlerry: Yeah, try to refrain from posting 'first' comments. This isn't  Gamespot.

Looks fine so far could still do with some work and some hand to hand combat.  The City looks pretty good like the kind of city an anti-hero should belong in.

Hopefully by the time it's released they'll fix the problems like the clipping, the bad camera and the way the dudes hand shook when he was hanging from the sign.

Assassins Creed + Bioshock? Pretty fucking weird.

I'm kinda excited about this too. I have a feeling there's more than meets the eye in this game.

the platforming looks cool  but the shooting does not look finished. Still needs a lot of work on the shooting, so i'm not really excited for it .....yet!

I hope the aiming isn't really that bad, the MGS4 controls are better than this, so for now I see no reason to buy this instead of just replaying MGS4.

well the game doesn't come out for another 7-8 months. so they should be able to make the game run better by then. I will keep my eyes put for this game though. looks nice.

The game obviously still needs some polish, but I'm sure it'll be great game by the time it's released. I have confidence in Sucker Punch.

I have some kind of hope, just make the game Rated M!

I was really excited about Prototype, then later interested in Infamous, but the more I see of them, the less I care about either of them.  All the crazy things they they allow you to do in an open environment all look a lot less fluid than in a more guided game.  GTA games are fine as they allow you to move through an open environment in the way WE move through an open enviroment, but when they take the handcuffs off, it never feels as natural of visceral as a God of War say.

Oh and by the time this comes out, shooting lightning will be so passe, thanks to a game called Force Unleashed.

What a second, dude can't just grab a gun and shoot people?  All you can do is zap?

My interest is dwindling.  I do not want to play Assassin's Creed 2.

that looks pretty awesome

dude he should use a gun. Just because its from sucker punch doesn't inherently mean it'll probably be good. I agree with the people who said 'meh'.

I'm not sold on this game...yet.  It looks good, visually, just not sure about the gameplay.  I was pretty hyped about AC,  until I played it.  LIke what has been posted, it's still a ways away. 

wow not impressed and whoever is playing it kind of stinks

Wow, that game went from interesting to mediocre in one video.

game looks pretty boring

i was expecting him to poop his pants or something the way he walks around like hes wearing a diaper

Still not sold on this game.

looks awesome

This game looks great, its gonna be an awesome 2009 game

I hope that there is a day and night cycle and that the guy in the game can do more stuff later on in the game other than shoot electricity

Yeah I can see the parallels to Assassin's Creed. Hopefully it has a decent enough story which will keep my interest because I doubt the gameplay will...

I don't mind not having guns, but please tell me there will be more than a little lightning beam. Hand to hand combat? Using the environment as weapons (such as cars, poles, garbage cans, etc.) because if not, this game will get boring quick, as in as soon as you put the disc in the tray you'll be bored.

Game looks awesome, I'm excited about this. Seeing how it looks this good and it isn't out til next year makes me even more excited to see the finished product.

it looks ok but im more excited about another superpowered guy running around a free roaming city prototype this needs more work but prototype looks so much better

with videos like this I can never tell if the game's bad or if the person playing it just sucks...

The game looks mostly like a retooled Sly Cooper.  The character has the same posture as Sly as well as similar abilities.  Of course the Sly Cooper games were good, but you can't have that many qualities carry over into a new "grittier" game. 
But, I still have high hopes for inFamous.  I will buy it, play it, and mostly likely love it.  But you can't just redo the same game a thousand times over. 

Game looks lame in my opinion :s
What's all the hype about?

Haha! That part at the end where he revived that dude was awesome. This is looking way better than those stupid Sly Cooper games. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the powers looked lame, but I'm guessing that's just because of the way G4 was playing it.

I think the gameplay looked awesome. Cant wait for this one.

Graphically this game is the best open worlds we have seen this gen, it looks MUCH crisper than GTAIV and of course Prototype (Which is very bland visually). That being said the game feels very early.

The animation is good, in my opinion, and sticks to the Comic Book Style theme, even if the run animation could be a bit better. Effects look great.

So what is the game missing? Atmosphere. The audio is horribly bland. People don't talk or scream, cars aren't that loud and it is missing the blank sound present in games like GTAIV which brings the city to life. Right now based on just screen shots the city feels great but in motion its quite dead.

I think Sucker Punch jumped into a fairly ambitious project, the game was announced at e3 07 and was supposed to see release in 08. That being said what IS here looks awesome but it is missing a heavy coat of polish required in open-world games.

Sucker Punch is a great developer and Sony really seems to be pushing the game, I am a bit worried that the presentation giant that is GTAIV will make anything without a billion lines of pedestrian dialouge seem irrelevant. Open world games have a very high standard to look up to. GTAIV had the luxury of being a sequal to a blockbuster series and was able to justify the development cost of around $100 Million (!!!!!), a new IP ( like inFamous and Prototype) cannot have a debut budget like that.


I think Sucker Punch and Sony will pull it off but it wouldn't surprise me if Summer 09 turns into December 09. Bottom line, I am very excited for inFamous but I expect opinion of it  to be as mixed as the opinion for Crackdown was.

The game doesn't come out until spring next year. They have a lot of time left in this.

I think it looks good. Hopefully there is a better hand to hand combat system so you dont have to Zap dudes from 2 feet away.

i saw this on ps3 fanboy. i didn't like the 5 minutes but the game looks sick. however i don't like that you just use lightning. of course that can't be just it though.

umm, someone needs to learn how to aim.  I know the clip is supposed to show off the game, but its distracting how bad the player is at simply aiming at the guys shooting him.

Can't wait.

 It seems promising. I like all of the different animations. Its nearly impossible to impress gamers these days myself included. Games are all kinda starting to look and play alike. Maybe Mirrors Edge ,or somthing else,  will try to break the mold.

It looks like it could be a lot of fun, but first they need a more efficient way of turning the character when he has he hand 'ready'. Every time I saw the demo attempt to turn and aim at an enemy it looked like the player was battling with the game trying to get the reticle on an enemy.

Every time I hear about this game I just think of Prototype.

This looks horrible!  What a waste of such beautiful graphics.  Bad gameplay.  So frustrating how they have this beautiful game yet this is he best they can do with gameplay.  Just like Assassins's Creed .  What a shame.

Am I getting this one confused with the one where you absorb (*wretch*) people and take on the way they look?  What is that called?

I wonder how the camera will work out in this one, looked like the signpost aiming was off.
