GameInformer inFAMOUS cover

Love Sucker Punch, loved Sly Cooper and this game has really got me hyped up. Normally I don't play Sand-box titles but wow does this game sound good.

AMAZING COVER ART !

inFAMOUS begins with a serene, panoramic skyview view of EMpire City on the title screen, with the words "press start flashing". ..once you push start, a massive explosion rips through the heart of the city. Six city blocks are consumed by flame...in the center, a man named Dylan staggers to his feet."

Dylan doesn't know how he got his powers and starts out apathetic. He then becomes invest in the city...or you can choose not to be at all.

Dylan can run up rooftops, scrambles across building archtecture, and can seek cover in unlikely nooks and crannies.

Sucker Punch striving for simple controls to do not so simple things.

Empire City has 3 islands.

After the explosion, the city falls into chaos. A plague makes the govt. quarentine the city. Gangs are formed.

Dylan's abilities evolve throughout the game.

One fight saw Dylan and his friend Zeke against a bunch of guard. A couple of choices include zapping the mobs and flinging them off the bridge, or using your electricity on the environment (i.e. power generators that may be nearby) to create explosions.

Sucker Punch says "The hero's powers and the storyline are in support of the gameplay."

Dylan cannot use firearms since his powers are "always on" (meaning he would set off the gunpowder in bullets). The powers can complicate your actions within the world.

There will be other "villians" with their own powers that come into play. As well as other normal enemies with powers.

inFAMOUS isn't structured like other open world games with a marker on the mini map for your next mission. The team's goal is to create a world where events unfold naturally.

For example, you're on your way to disarm a bomb, but you notice a woman in the street bleeding and screaming. Time is ticking. What do you do? Your actions affect the world at large. Hence "inFAMOUS".

Karma system keeps track of your actions ( I assume without showing you? Not sure). Your actions affect the actions of the citizens of the city. They may fight with you or ignore you or even help fight against you. Karma also factors into how your abilities develop.

I expect new footage to be shown at E3 and I hope the game will come out late this year.

I can't hype this game enough. Day 1 purchase for me.theycallmeryan

hype wise i hope you're wrong, i hate it when people hype it too much and it can never meet expectations.

gameplay wise i pray to the god of games (i think he's called kaz hirai?) that you are totally and 100% correct

actaully after getting bored of GTA at 45% that's a statement i could agree with as well..

Okay sounds good.

DONT HYPE THIS TO BE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER GAME! Wait for some real footage and a review before you hype this game to be better than GTA IV or something I hate when people do this. Then when it doesn't get the score you want you cry and complain.

We finnaly get some news on this cool game and no one cares. WTH people.finalfantasy94

Sadly, I think this may be a game with a small audience, though that could all change closer to launch. It seems awesome, but I don't know if it will attract a large player base. Oh well, I'm really looking forward to it,\.

I'll one up you by getting bored at 25%. GTA4 is great and all with the sandbox elements of games, but it just feels like im playing an older version of gta with far better graphics/physics (i guess its my fault, i mean what more should i have been expecting). inFAMOUS presents a totally new gamestyle, new story. From what I believe this is a PS3 exclusive, and I like that sony is doing, by not rinsing and repeating but by bringing new stories and new IP's. ie Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Resistance etc etc. Although some havent turned out so well, Haze. But inFAMOUS has potential, and if it can deliver, it should be one heck of a game > gta$

You know what we should do know - we should hype it up so high that it will never meet expectations. Don't worry - nothing will go wrong this time.

i agree... AA at best

it sounds boring, honestly. and besides, theres already a super hero/super villain sandbox game...Prototype. now thats a game worth hyping.Nauron_BAH

You mean Hulk Ultimate Destruction with some other convenient abilities?

I look forward to inFamous much more than Prototype because it looks a lot less linear. Prototype seems like you can make a few decisions but everything leads you to the same place. Plus Sucker Punch is known to deliver high quality games that are made for the gamers, not for the huge cash revenue. I'm not gonna overhype the game, but I have been following it for months and I expect great things from it. I never really thought Haze would be that great...it looked like every other shooter that has come out within the last year. But inFamous looks and sounds very different from what we have already seen. Plus it has a possibility to be out before Prototype, considering the recent delay. Hopefully we get more info on inFamous at E3 as well (namely gameplay footage).

Well said. I can't wait for inFAMOUS. It would be nice if they revealed some stuff at E3 because I wanna see it in action.
