Infamous demo is awesome!!!!!!

I just played the infamous demo and that game could not have turned out better I cannot wait until this game releases on the 19th. You guys should definitely go get it when it releases. It is like Crackdown except way better, not that Crackdown is bad.

EDIT

Sorry I did not say more about the game earlier, did not have a whole bunch of time. But some of the best things about infamous so far is the different ways your character's power are utilized. Their is a standard lightning bolt which never runs out of energy, then there are other attacks like a lightning grenade which can only be used so many times until you have to draw more electricity from a nearby source, such as a lamp pole. Their are a number of different powers in the game, but one of my favorite powers is the ability to send out a shock wave when you land; the farther you fall the more damage and the bigger the radius of the shock wave will be. When combining a number powers to create different ways to kill your enemies it can be very satisfying and fun. You can also use a LOT of the environment, such as the ability to send cars flying, in a lot of different ways.

It is pretty easy to move about the city, although I wish that your character could jump a little higher. The buildings are close enough together so that you will not have to make very big jumps, but for the bigger jumps their are power lines strewn about that you can glide across. Or, if you would like to go across the city pretty quickly you can use the lightning in the train railings to glide across the city. I hope that gives some kind of idea of what to expect from the game, if you guys have any questions just ask. I just got the demo because I work at Gamestop, it was an employees only kind of thing.

Not hard to beat crackdown

its the 26th not 19th

I dont know what i want....that or prototype.

I didn't play the demo, but I was planning to get it already. Good to hear that it is awesome. I think this game will do very well and will be one of the main franchises of the PS3, like Uncharted, God of War,  LBP, Gran Turismo or Killzone.

It is going to do well because unlike Killzone 2, a game that was hyped to death, this one is relatively unheard of and only now people are finding out about it. In a way everybody expected Killzone 2 to look great because of all the hype, so it was kind of "Ah, ok", but this will be one those moments that people will be gladly surprised because it will exceed their expectations by far.

I didn't see the demo on the store. Is it only in a certain region?

I think he's talking about the early demo you get when you pre-order the game.

The demo is for gamestop employees only.

What do you like more: Beat 'em ups or Third-Person Shooters?

Prototype's main character is also a total badass. Just throwing that out there.

From what I've been hearing, it seems as though inFamous is a really good game. I'm still waiting for the demo to be available on PSN though. :(

I am waiting on details and specification, because this thread really didn't convince me to buy the game in any way.

i guarantee you that inFAMOUS will get better reviews than Prototype. Prototype will sell more because 360 fanboys have nothing else to buy this year. i mean come on, look how many copies a fucking lame RTS game sold because it had the name Halo on the cover.

I'm really starting to want this game!

I'm just going to wait on the reviews for this one, it looks very good, but it couldn't hurt to wait a bit until I get to see all the details. Also I really don't understand why everyone continues to compare InFamous and Prototype, in my eyes, they are quite different. If any of these two games where like Crackdown, it would be Prototype, as you jump around super high and have crazy strength and speed. Bottom line, both games look very good, I hope they both do well, and I hope they don't get caught in the rut of open world games getting boring after the story finishes.

I haven't read any feedback from someone who's played this game that says it's bad. All the people over at NeoGAF are literally going nuts over this.

Sleeper hit confirmed.

Just another game that makes me want a PS3...

The demo is very fun gameplay wise... But if you look at the graphics, it has very noticeable pop-in.

Stationary objects will pop-in later than non-stationary objects... So the draw distance is higher than the object-rendering distance.

Granted, because only stationary objects are affected that means that you can still fight enemies far away... but it's still weird to see parked cars pop in while you're looking around.

(A good example is here, look around 37 seconds... a car is popping out of nowhere into the view. It is parked on the right side in the video.)

I doubt that this will be fixed in the retail version, because according to their twitter the demo was finished after the game went Gold.

*EDITED: Updated link, because it pointed to the wrong part of the developer diary. Part 2 is the correct.

Virtually all open world games have pop-in though. At least, I can't think of one that doesn't. Although I haven't played it so I don't know how distracting it is.

EDIT:

I'd also just like to throw out there that Sucker Punch has a team of 60 people. That's tiny for an open world game."

Look at the video... That pop-in is not in the distance, it's only 15-20 meter away. And this is stands in stark contrast to their dev-diaries where they talk about how the PS3's power is bottomless. Something just isn't right about that scenario.

But as I said: It's non-moving objects, which doesn't hurt the gameplay but rather the suspension of disbelief.

I want that game! I saw a demo video of it yesterday and I was blown away!

yet generally no wait in EVERY instance games sell higher on the 360, even multiplats...so that kind of kills your theory."

I uploaded a gif of the scene I was referring to, it's happening around 00:36 in the video. (Video here, close-up gif here)
You can clearly see how far moving objects take before the pop-out (this seems to be equal to moving pop-in, and how close the pop-in of stationary objects is.)

Tebbit it was suppose to be ironic and a little sarcastic two things that do not translate well over the internet
