Quick Look: inFamous: Festival of Blood

Vampires in Louisiana. I swear I've heard of this before, but with far more breasts.

@FoxMulder:

Ditto this. Has been happening a lot this year it seems. Batman didn't hit for me the same way as the first one did either.

Zeke is there, so there's at least one boob.

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

Something really awful happening with the framerate on this for me. Wonder if something happened to my player...

I'm with Vinny. Why are the vampires taking hostages?

This is an awesome DLC. So glad they did something like this.

Oooo, I see they're channeling a little bit of Kara Walker in that silhouette sketch. VIDEO GAMES BE CLASSY?

Still unsure about this. I liked Infamous 2, but I don't know if I really want more of it. Right now anyway with Uncharted 3 coming out next week.

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.

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

I got all the collectibles too, though I didn't get the trophy for unlocking all the powers. Do you have to play a bunch of UGC missions afterward to max those out, as the text after the ending suggests?

I thought he had a pizza sword on his back.

Why is the video quality so bad?

Finished it last night. It was really great. 

This game is really damn good, defiantly get it if you have a PS3 (and the first 2 games.)

I hope they do more of this sort of thing.

I'd like to see a good Karma story.

Really nice that it's stand alone. Looks good.

This looks fucking awesome! I wish more crazy macabre vampire action games were on the market.

Need more games to do Halloween themed DLC/stand alone packs like this on XLBA/PSN/Steam as I'd definitely give it a whirl in the demo then decide on buying it.

Always WHINING Louie...

I hope we get more Costume Quest.

Are the trophies for this separated from Infamous 2?

@hollitz:

I really like Arkham City a lot, but I agree that the second time through something that is so similar gameplay-wise isn't as exciting. There was something about inFamous 2 that felt too much like they didn't improve it in ways they should have. That plus I hated the story. Arkham City wasn't as exciting to play as Asylum since it's gameplay was so groundbreaking and new in 2009. But besides that I'm loving Arkham City!

Yup. It's not connected to your inFamous 2 save whatsoever. It is stand alone so it has 14 trophies.

Also can someone tell me why PSN is crappy where the GB guys live? Jeff complained about the Uncharted 3 beta and now Brad is saying this took him 3-4 hours to download. I'm in Canada and my internet sucks, it took me 45 minutes to download this 3GB game.

Brad and Vinny DLC Quick Looks are my favorite Quick Looks.

Yes, sadly you do. I find it odd that you still get 'new' stuff after you finish the game when you probably won't have time to use it that often. I recommend a few of the UGC races, I find those the most fun.

Yep. PSN maxes out my connection just like Xbox LIVE does, so I don't know if it's just worse servers over there or what.

And heavy use of the word "Fanger" is totally a reference to True Blood.

Didn't like the ending of the 2nd one at all.

I really like that they made this as a standalone. Not sure I really want more Infamous right now though. I'm still having too much fun in Arkham City.

@Cyrisaurus said:

Definitely. Also, more developers should make single player DLC period. Enough with stupid map packs.

Damn those kids going around drinking jars of blood.

i hope this becomes a popular trend, giving me reason to revisit great games with a twist sounds awesome

This looks really cool! Definitely going to get this.

Alternate universe DLC always makes me happy.

@NoelVeiga: I think it depends on if you're using wireless or wired too. I don't normally see much difference using wireless, but with PSN I get super slow speeds on wifi.

I liked Infamous 2 more than Infamous, but I did not get to see the ending. I ran into trouble with the save system. But I heard reviews of the ending was mixed.

I played such a goody-goody though, I am having trouble being into the big bite, flying not withstanding.

damn , i thought it was for infamous 2 only . now i went and got something else . But , maybe today i will be lucky and get some cash .

I really need to get around to finishing Infamous 2. Though I guess I don't need to finish that to play this. Maybe I will play this tonight to be seasonal while I wait for Uncharted 3.

I really thought this quick look was going to end with Brad dying from that vampire shooting at him while he didn't pay attention. Good for him for not pulling a brad.
