9.5 minimum at IGN. When do they ever put an article like that about a review? They love Infamous.. I think that's IGN Australia though

run of the mill? name a next gen game that is similar. I think that its a nice break from the run of the mill FPS games that we have been bombarded with this gen.

It will be AAA on IGN because they love to overrate PS3 exclusives like Uncharted(9.1), Little Big Planet(9.6), Resistance 2(9.5, LOL what) and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction(9.4) and just recently Killzone 2(9.4).

It's not a bad thing, just obvious.:P

mitu123

or maybe they like ps3 games because they are actually good.I would rate all those games the same as i have a different taste in games just like ign. Im not saying that all 360 games are bad because they are not but all those games deserve those scores IMO.

yeah its kinda nice considering Gamespot likes to overrate Xbox exclusives.

I have played and brought every Microsoft published shooter this gen so far and enjoyed them(PDZ, Halo 3, Gears of War 1 and 2), maybe Gamespot has great taste in games.

I honestly can' t see Resistance 2 deserving a 9.5, Killzone 2 looks more worthy of that score.

yea, technically if you look at the gamerankings averages in comparison to the 360 and ps3 big game reviews, gs has overrated pretty much every single high profile ps3 game, and about half and half for the 360.

It's not like they're that off of the agregate review score like GS, who severely underated a few of those exclusives mentioned

Until I play Uncharted, I'm with Gamespot and not IGN.

I hate to be the one to say "OMG Company X paid off Site Y!!!", but when IGN's inFamous site has much more content and more Sony logos/trademarks than the game's official site, questions should be raised. There's no way it scores less than a 9 (and I'm being conservative).

Even though it'll most likely get atleast AA here, I'd warn cows against the eventual hype that comes with the IGN review. We all know this game will get a crazy high score on IGN. They've been crazy about it for months and months.

brennan7777

Yeah, and this is going to bring the "IGN is teh bias" or "u cant spellz IGN without IGNorant!" comments from lemmings. IGN may shoot themselves in the foot for hyping the game, but it wont take away from whatever score IGN will give.

Dont you mean you cant spell Ignorant without IGN?...or at least i can spell IGN without the rest of it...

Whoops, yes that's what I mean :P

:| overate? you havent bought ur ps3 yet have u ?:P

I'm getting it on June 1st, but Resistance 2 does not look like a 9.5, it's graphics are fairly crappy and I heard the campaign is somewhat weak. I've seen gameplay videos and I'm shocked that it's AAA here and IGN.

Yeah is lucky it scored AAA,it should have got AA maxi,but Uncharted And Ratchet desrved 9.0 here:x, And they'll score it AAA atleast:D

I can understand R&C, but not Uncharted, looks like a Tomb Raider and Gears of War rip off from what I've seen, maybe Gamespot gave it AA because it ripped off 2 games at once?

and if you name 4, then it will probably mean that 6 would be definitive, unless you can name 6. can you? then you better name 10 and if you don't then you're wrong.

I really don't get why GS are seen as such harsh critics.. they gave freakin assassins creed a 9 and GTA 4 a 10 you combine both those games and you get infamous.

Not really GTA IV is the best game this generation next to Metal Gear Solid IV. GTA IV has stellar character development, a great story, fittingly awesome gameplay, perfect presentation, and it's a blast to play. Assassin's Creed is alright. I'd say Crackdown is the closest we've seen to Infamous and I expect Infamous to do not much better.

I own GTA4 and played through Assassin's Creed. I have the demo of inFAMOUS and I can honestly say that the climbing in infamous is better than the one in Assassin's Creed and thats the only thing I liked about it. GTA4 had nice controls but I can't agree on the great story part and the blast to play part, it went a step backward in those areas compared to the other games in the series. I haven't played crackdown so I can't compare it to that but infamous really feels like a combo of the good in assassins creed and the good in GTA4. I can't say much about the story since I haven't played the game but it looks like sucker punch put in a lot of work into developing the characters and making it interesting.

Infamous is only similar to GTAIV in the way choose missions in the open world map. Infamous is a muck up of different ideas. You are a super hero with super powers. They are most similar to a game like the force unleashed, but it has the platforming and climbing elements of assassins creed, but with more freedom. And it has some minor RPG elements, you gain experience, gain new and stronger abilities. Plus there is the good and evil aspect.. And it has a comic book atmosphere that gives it its own feel. I think it will be a much better game than crackdown.

Crackdown is a combo of them with tighter gameplay and it's totally over the top.

Of course they are excited, they are announcing the date and time of review. How often does that happen?

The game could actually be good though, maybe that's why they are excited.

It will probably get a 9+, seeing as how IGN loves to overrate games.

It will be AAA on IGN because they love to overrate PS3 exclusives like Uncharted(9.1), Little Big Planet(9.6), Resistance 2(9.5, LOL what) and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction(9.4) and just recently Killzone 2(9.4).

It's not a bad thing, just obvious.:P

mitu123

I'm sorry, but have you played any of those games? How can you tell they're overrated?

I agree with you on LBP, R2, R&C, i would score them slightly lower (9.0, 9.0 and 8.5, respectively), but IMO Uncharted and Killzone 2 are not overrated. I played all those games btw.

I really wouldn't be surprised if this happened

Score aside, I'll still be getting this game. GS is a bit weird at times. Like overscoring Assassin Creed and underscoring Uncharted. I prefer Game Rankings or Metacritic for review scores.

AC was overrated. Uncharted got a just score though in my opinion.

yes, but remember this is SW, and the only score for a game that matters around here is Gamespot's..
