IGN: Hands-On

Infamous is awesome. Period. End of statement. I know a lot of times we at IGN get railed on for over-hyping games -- we tell you a game looks great during the preview period but then crap on it when review time comes -- but I'm willing to put my reputation on the line right now and tell you I can't see that happening with this game.

Infamous is a blast, and you're going to need to buy it come spring.

Bunch of new videos

Looks awesome.

There are just a TON of potentially great PS3 games coming out this year.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch)

i don't know about this. These open world mission based games seem to get repetitive really quick for me because it's always style over substance like GTA4 and Far Cry 2. They start out great and then the missions become all the same because the developers concentrated too much creating the world but forgot to introduce missions that had variety, effective AI and good gameplay mechanics that would keep your interest for more than one day in that world. Looks amazing though graphics wise.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch)

Yeah, but it looks like the main character could be fun to screw around with it and learning different ways to use all his powers (hopefully they aren't generic). In Farcry 2 and GTA4 you had pretty conventional protagonists.

After seeing the Sony Booth tour, you should already know what we’re showing at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Now it’s time to dive deeper into inFamous - and dive off of buildings. In this interview with Sucker Punch co-founder Brian Fleming, he’ll discuss new plot points revealed at CES, and you’ll see new gameplay video that shows just how much fun it’s going to be to get the drop on your enemies.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch)

The videos look good. Kind of like a GTA game where the main Character is a super hero.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch)

Sandbox games are the best non-sports games IMO.

Couldn't agree more

Gamespot: Infamous Updated Hands-on -- New Island, New Powers, New Enemies

All told, the demo showed off a lot of promise, as well as the expected rough edges from a work in progress. The camera was a little troublesome in spots, the framerate dipped in some areas, and the amount of effects during some of the crazier combat segments, such as the tunnel battle, made it difficult to follow the action. Now, that all said, Infamous has a lot going for it. The game's open world feel and the sheer freedom of hopping around and climbing places is very cool. The different ways you can use Cole's abilities, and upgrade them--by collecting shards that are debris from the explosion you can absorb--is a nice touch. We also have to call out the stylish cinematic screens that move the story along. Sucker Punch's games have always had a cool, artistic flair to them and Infamous stays true to the spirit of the Sly Cooper comic panel motif, although clearly with a more hard-edge style. In fact, the layered, animated look of the cinematics has more life than some of the high production CG movies we've seen in other games.

The visuals in the game continue their positive development towards a finished product with more polish being layered in. We especially like the distinct personality the city is taking on the more we see of the game. The outdoor park area and claustrophobic tunnels of the black water mission had a unique look to them that was different than the first areas we saw. The Warren district offered another take on the ruined city motif, with some subtle color palette tweaks and different architecture that was very effective. The look extended to the Dust Men and golems we encountered, which all had a disturbing patchwork feel to them.

Based on what we played, Infamous looks to be coming along nicely. The game seems to be doing a fine job of balancing style and substance with impressive visuals, engaging gameplay, and a meaty story. While there's still the expected assortment of rough edges to the game, they're mostly overshadowed by the potential on display. The sense of freedom when you're going about your business, mixing up the use of your powers, interacting with the city, and the intriguing story are a compelling draw that should be worth keeping an eye out for. Infamous is slated to ship later this year for the PlayStation 3, look for more on the game in the coming months.
