Quick Look: inFamous: Festival of Blood

More games should do these "What If?" alternative universe PSN/XBLA games.

yes!

vampires!

infamy

Finally, a quick look without patrick in it.

@ChronoGear: dislike

The hyperbole Brad reaches when describing anything he likes makes me laugh. also makes me laugh how they miss incredibly obvious things, so it has to be a super small TV or something they are playing on.

But yet another Brad Infamous QL with Brad running around in circles completely unable to talk and make any kind of progress at the same time whatsoever. Love it! <3

The fact that for an instant I was angry that Brad wasn't pressing R1 to grapple and continue gliding may suggest that I'm playing too much Batman.

Not even 10 comments yet and already bashing two of the staff members. Classy as always.

wait so trophy tracking is coming... YES!!!

If only Brad had a Will Smith type meme.

I already bit (Ha.) into a good chunk of this and I'm really enjoying it so far. Makes me want to play Infamous 2 again to complete my second play-through, maybe even S Rank it. (Now that that's possible here, whee.)

Zeke really is the worst.

Standalone, yep correct use of this word by the developer. And it took forever to download, I thought my service was messed up. From the beginning morality goes out the window, suprised me. Finishing up Deus Ex dlc to get to Infamous 2 dlc to get to Uncharted..so easy to wait for pc Batman now.. That pregnant comment- LOLOLOLl!!!!! Here Ah am babies, trapped on the other side of the tv.... and thats where I stopped playing. Not going to watch too much of this, listening instead mostly.

This game is awesome but also incredibly short, I just beat it last night and only started late in the afternoon ... I even got all the trophies. I wish there was more to do besides the user missions (which aren't that exciting)

Literally my exact same problem with it. Not enough new abilities and it's really, really short. I enjoyed it but felt like it should have had more content.

this looks kinda cool, i loved the first infamous but never played 2. i think i'll pick this up.

I got 100% in 4 hours and loved every minute of it. 4 quality hours for $8 is a good deal in my book.

Definitely agree. Red Dead Redemption's take was awesome, and this seems cool too. It's probably a fun project for the developers as well.

A Saint Row The Third take on Christmas, where you go around giving explosive presents to your rivals, would be great

What's wrong with Patrick?

He's sooooo negative about everything. That's my beef with him. However, his knowledge is appreciated. I think Patrick and Ryan need to realize some people actually really like the games they're playing even if they don't. Don't be so negative about everything you don't like. Jeff and Brad get it. Speaking of which, where's Jeff been?! His quicklooks are the best!

The amount of aliasing in that screenshot is more terrifying than the vampires.

Agreed, more of these stand-alone type sidestuff of AAA games. Dead Rising: Case Zero is another great example.

So far I'm enjoying this little side adventure in the inFamous universe. As I was playing it I was thinking that I'd love more of this kind of thing, as in stand-alone additions to IPs instead of typical DLC. Of course, that also goes into the same category as my desire to be able to buy part of a game (like the single- or multi-player segments, depending on the game) for cheaper than the full cost, but do so digitally.

Hmm I see what you mean and agree with you about the negativity. I think he picked that up from Ryan.

Except he's totally not negative at all in my experience. The Rise of Nightmares QL, which is admittedly a pretty poor game, he said how cool and innovative it was. He introduced us to Wizorb and loved it. Okabu, Kirby, House of the Dead, he was perfectly fine and reasonable about them all. There's nothing negative about his attitude, and if you think Jeff's quick looks are the best, he's the most negative member of staff! Unless he absolutely adores a game he always acts like he couldn't care less about it, go watch the Payday QL. Ryan and Patrick are easily the most positive guys and generally see the good in anything, and Ryan will be the first to admit that the majority of people will have a different taste to him, even if he can't understand why.

Obviously the pair of them have just not enjoyed a game you like so now you're hating on them instead of being rational. Grow up duder!

Any word on how big the download is?

Agreed. *grabs a pitchfork and a torch* Get him!

Felt the same about inFamous 2 that Brad did. It was good and fun, but very forgettable. This DLC looks cool, but I don't want to play inFamous 2 anytime soon.

Currently playing this game and loving it so far even though I never played the actual games but don't need to with this.

I really liked Infamous 2, I should get this.

@ChronoGear: that was mean :(

No, we have no fancy made-up holiday like Pyre Night here in New Orleans. Just regular-ass Halloween.

We do have Voodoo fest (or Voodoo Music Experience, as it's officially titled) which is a big concert in City Park around Halloween (today, tomorrow, and Sunday this year), and the French Quarter gets a little...weirder around this time, but that's about it.
