Love me some infamous, so I'll probably check this out. Plus it looks odd as hell.

@Styl3s: Woah mate. Take a breath. I must have just shat all over your entire belief system and then fucked your sister to cause a reaction like this. I will try not to cause anymore trouble in the future. I'm truly sorry.

You enjoy your internet anonymity. Makes you feel like a powerful badass doesn't it.

Yeah, i am a badass for pointing out how ignorant people are, please explain how twilight has anything to do with this other then the fact vampires are in it?

The day you can give a real viable answer to that then i acknowledge you as a intelligent person.

@Styl3s: The awful Twilight novels and films had very little to do with the point of my comment. I could just have easily have said:

"Get your interview with a vampire out of my infamous"

I was commenting on the strange nature of this dlc in relation to what I expect from the infamous franchise.

I'm not gonna start a troll war with you. I wont comment again. I think your dog is cute.

@paulwade, because Holloween. I understand your distaste, but it is only following a pattern set by RDR, Borderlands and others... I think the borderlands zombie dlc came out near holloween. Yeah, it is an odd take on Infamous...and yes, just to say it, vampirism has more history than the recent wierd obsession with it by present popular culture. I blame tv though. I'm less familiar with the recent books, though I only have heard of and not even seen either.

Wow, people are bitching more about how Vamps are too popular? What else are they supposed to do, make him a werewolf? Yeah, that'd make even more sense. It's a standalone DLC, and it's doing more than just giving the same ol shit. Stop whining, and appreciate it.

I did a playtest awhile back on this DLC. The ending level was GOD AWFUL and tedious! But everyone kinda said that, so hopefully they changed it. Otherwise it was REALLY fun!

I'll see your Cowboy Zombie Add-on and raise you a Vampire Superhero add-on!

I was skeptical about Undead Nightmare and (happily) proven wrong, so I see no reason not to give this a shot!

Haven't picked up Infamous 2 yet (haven't gotten around to it) so glad this is a stand alone. There is a severe lack of Halloween/horror games right now and in October that just won't do.

No. This thing you're doing here. Stop now. Halt. Cease. Desist.

Don't let one shitty tween series shit all over decades of vampire horror.

Yea because it is just this generation. Way to make the same kind of broad sweeping generalization.

Looks interesting. Don't have inFamous one or two. Should I get it anyway or wait until I've played the other games?

I believe it's more of a frustration with the habits of Halloween and video game developers. People are kind of sick of looking at their open world games and someone going, "Y'KNOW WHAT'D BE REALLY COOL? IF WE ADDED AN UNDEAD ELEMENT OF SOME KIND FOR THE END OF OCTOBER, RIGHT!?"

That's not to say that this add-on will be bad, or that any other one was. People aren't even really bitching about the popularity of the concept, but rather the fact that it seems kind of tired and unoriginal on the surface. We'll see how it goes though once it's released.

@xxizzypop: I'd love to see all of the vampire themed Halloween timed DLC for open world games that originally had nothing to do with vampires. I doubt that number is very high. And once again, everyone is completely blowing this whole "zombies/undead" thing out of proportion, acting like every major game to come out has some sort of undead component.

If it's good, it's good, and fuck the rest.

@MordeaniisChaos: Words to live by. Again, people are more frustrated by a lack of originality more than anything. Most people will still probably buy and enjoy the shit out of this.

i.e. me.
