Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

I would like to know (if in the event that I ever do buy it): does the retail version have a controller configuration while aiming so that you turn with the left analog stick and strafe with the right? Also are there invert y axis controls?

I'm sure you can invert the y axis, every game has that nowadays.

Which bugs me that they don't always keep that other control scheme, let alone set it as default. Since the days of GoldenEye, that's what we've been accustomed to. Most third person action games are mapped that way as well (maybe not when aiming, but that's what really gets me when they decide to flop it around).

I try to get used to it, but even when I do (as in I'm not confused about what I'm doing anymore) It's just not as advantageous for me and I'm not very good at it. I much prefer "Legacy" controls.

One thing i hate about this game is the fact that random snipers start shooting you from a rooftop, which wouldnt be so bad if they werent so freaking accurate. No matter what you do run lunge, whatever, they still continually hit you over and over.

thats one of the only negatives i see so far

You can invert y-axis on the demo, no reason why retail wouldn't have it too.

BTW, this game gets a big "whatever" from me. Just not my thing, I guess.

The demo was alright but didn't really get me excited about the full game.

Dre, do you find yourself dying a lot in this game? If not a lot, more than you think you should be.

Agreed.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

I'm finally starting to figure the game out. The farther I get into it the better it is becoming. Loving how the PS3 is really starting to put out quality games consistently now. Been with my PS3 roughly 6 mos now and have no desire to go back to the other side and games like this is the reason. Peace!!!

nah man not really but you do have to run away at times because of what i mentioned. Its really really annoying and you'll see what I mean the more you get into the game.

The videos and previews dont show you but it sucks because you'll probably do more rooftop running than on the streets because of it... they just pop up out of nowhere (without you knowing, and picking you off like a sitting duck)

The cover system is pretty weak IMO by pressing the 0 button against something like a wall or whatever. You'll see though, they really should patch that sniping crap.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

I barely knew anything about this game and downloaded the demo. I loved it. Sort of a cross between GTA and Star Wars Force Unleashed but just the best parts as I didn't really like those games that much.

The one thing I really liked was how cool and unique the character is. Playing as though you are a comic book character is great. I don't have the game but found myself dying a lot in the demo - particularly at some spots. I prefer games like this rather than button mashing arcade games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Wolverine where you just join the fray and go bananas with little strategy or defense. I don't want a game that's all about stick skills. Sometimes you have to turn and run and I liked that aspect. The cover system isn't great but I'm glad its necessary at times. The vulnerability you have is a positive imo.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

Wait til you play the full version and you'll see the vulnerability isnt that great when the AI shoots you from random rooftops, sometimes our of your reach, but they hit you and quickly you're about to die for the fact that they shoot fast and you cant dodge the bullets.

23 you are right. Theirs no dodging bullets. You can run like heck though or find a corner/structure to hide behind which is what I do. Other than this the game is great imo. Peace!!!!!
