Honestly I am lost for words. This game looks amazing in all the trailers but has anyone played it?. It almost looks as bad as Crackdown 2. Anyone hyping this as open world graphics king prepare for dissapointment. Also the gameplay is average, I bet my account it won't get AAA here.

Anyone else played it?.

I'd be highly surprised if it were AAA as well. The reviews are pretty mixed. I'll be getting it down the line but the GamePro review swayed me from a day 1 purchase.

Have had to sell my PS3 for two bills so sadly can't play the game, but I was never interested in the game in the first place. The PS3's must have this year will be UC3.

I disagree and can't wait to play it. Tagged just in case it gets AAA.

Yeah as mentioned in the other thread, its pretty disappointing. Not only are the graphics horrible but I found the friendly A.I to be really bad, the environments boring and pedestrians/protestors have no life in them at all. Lets hope the real game is better but I am not holding my breath.

The first one was ugly, and a lot of people complained about repetitive missions in it too. Didn't stop it from being one of my favourite PS3 exclusive.

The graphics weren't great. Some people were saying it was going to look as good as Uncharted 2. Well, it doesn't.

The path finding for NPC's is f***ing awful, and the movement is a bit too sensitive. You can't walk in the game, you either run, or run really fast. I was trying to match the pace of the asian woman at the start, and she kept spazzing out and turning on the spot after hitting obstacles.

Then the woman I freed on the pier kept stopping, and being mauled by the mutant things...

I did have fun with it, but no way I'm buying it.

Eh, don't play demos . Reviews are pretty good though, don't know what people are on about. Picking this up, Infamous was flawed but fun.

These demos are basically the retail release. It's very rare you actually see a significant improvement in the final product. I'll give the game another chance but I just can't believe how bad this demo looks considering how amazing it looks in the trailers.

Demo's on PSN, this is all critique of the demo. Of course the full game could have improved everything, but why release such a s***ty demo so close to release?

I though the game was very impressive looking personally. Cole's character model and the larger monster you fight look very impressive. The gameplay is also greatly improved from the first game. I also greatly enjoyed the addition of the various street performers and look of the surroundings. New Marais is simply interesting to look at and explore. It runs as smooth as anyone could hope and the controls are pitch perfect. After the demo, I' m hyping this game to be a personal game of the generation contender.

God of War 3 is the only demo I played where the game itself looked a lot better then the demo, and the demo still looked good! I dont mind the graphics on Infamous, but its the environment that seems lifeless to me.

Wow. I honestly see nothing wrong with the game. Having just completed the first, playing the demo for this is like a whole new experience. It's an open world game with a million different things going on at once. Why complain about the graphics? It looks better than the first, that's for sure. I've just been going against what everyone says lately. First it was DAII (really liked that game), then it was Alice: Madness Returns (I'll probably buy it) and now Infamous 2 (Buying it day 1)

Did you play inFamous 1 demo? Sucker Punch isn't exactly great at putting up a good demo.

I thought it was great. The graphics were really cleaned up and polished when compared to the first and the gameplay is much smoother and faster this time around. I'm not sure what you're complaining about, it looks like it's going to be a great game to me.

The graphics arent amazing, but the gameplay is pretty awesome. Infamous 1 had meh graphics and yet it still ended up AAAe. I have no doubt this will too as its plain awesome.

Nah dude, the demo looked really really good. Really good. Then again, I am doing it from the preference of a sandbox console game.

It's just an awful looking game, Cole's character model is crap, I just took a mission of some women and her face looked like it was lifted from a PS2 game. There's loads of jaggies aswell. As leader of the cows, it's hard for me to say but it's true.

it's the best looknig open-world game on consoles. much better than Red Dead. i mean, in Red Dead travelling alone has a lot of framerate dips. whattajoke.

I always said Infamous is the uglist of the PS3 exclusives. I also said Infamous is just another example of why I think this gen is overrated and has nothing on past gens.

Demo is not the full game, so I don't think it's worth judging completely at this point. Sounds like it has a few flaws, but what game doesn't?

inFamous had been one of my favorites from this gen, so I can't wait until next week for the sequel.

Did you really expect a consle game to have an NPC looking very detailed as much as the playble character, as for the jaggies lots of games have jaggies.

Of course I'm speaking relatively. Compared to other games the character models are worse and the jaggies are much more noticeable. I wish the original Iphone's camera wasn't so bad or I'd show you how awful this game looks on my TV.
