Im sorry but this game has flop written all over it.. every other sandbox game that wasnt GTA has flopped and not did so well at all, after reading the Game informer cover story it just seems like its a third person sandbox bioshock.. The concept looks cool and the Devs that made the sly series are good devs but Infamous just looks like one of those games that will fall short and flop big time.. I really hope this game doesnt get hyped like the second coming because I admit that PS3 games tend to get overhyped as the second coming and end up failing bad.. Hence Heavenly sword.. How that game scored a 8.0 here is beyond me, but anyway yea Infamous definitley looks very dull

Saint's Row and Crackdown were both successful GTA clones. Give other games taking a crack at the genre a chance!

I dont think saints row even broke a million sales and Crackdown was awful game but had good sales due to halo 3 beta. Wow crackdown was bad

I am hyping it to be a better game than GTA IV , that shouldn't be too hard to top.

I had a lot of fun with Crackdown. :) Saint's Row did break a million, if Wikipedia is to be believed.

Bingo, Saints Row was a blast and so was Crackdown, I knocked my buddy out of the air by throwing a car at him as he was jumping from one rooftop to another while co-oping through Crackdown.

Maybe Infamous will suck but I will still try it out because it looks interesting.

Heavenly sword could of been so much more. I will say the physics and graphics where amazing, boss fights very unoriginal,very short story with no replay value.. I just dont understand how Heavenly sword and uncharted scored a 8.0 when uncharted easily deserved a 8.5 and HS deserved no more than a 7.5 at best

Yeah it might, has potential though with what the developers are trying to do, and Sucker Punch is respectable so i'm giving them a chance.

I think infamous wil lbe a decent game. 8.0 at highest. I predicting the following flaws; -frame rate problem at times, -story is meh! - repetative - lack of different enemies. But im hoping im wrong though, id rather see a trailer and here some more info first.

TBH thats the only problem I had with the game. That and enemy variation. Also other open world games have done well besides gta. So I have no fear. Saints row was good,crackdown was good and hell even spider man 2 was good.

I have some faith in Sucker Punch. I loved every game in the Sly series and they are a respectable developer. It's a great concept and they may be able to deliver. We'll have to wait and see.

its a hack and slash game no game in the genre has original boss fights though i agree with you uncharted deserved higher, i also believe if u add 2-3 hours of game play to heavenly sword it also deserved a 9

I think it will be as good as resistance 1, kind of like the resistance 1 of the end of 2008. The graphics probably won't compare to GTA4 and the gameplay will be good but nothing truly revolutionary...

How exactly does Infamous look like a game that will flop if you haven't seen any gameplay except some screenshots put into a trailer not to mention the screenshots were taken e3 of last year and so what if it does flop? Did it matter when MP3, Ratchet, Heavenly Sword, Twilight Princess, or Mass Effect flopped? The answer is no it did not make the games any worse and they were all good games. I don't see why you made a thread to stop hype that hasn't even started for a game we have barely even seen you could have at least waited until after E3.

What are you talking about? It sounds awesome. You have moral choices like Mass Effect and the citizens react to you based on your actions. It all sounds great. And it is 2008. It comes out 2009.

Ahhh, I thought they really brought it back with Sly 3 myself. Don't let the second one stop you from playing the last. Anywho, I'm quietly interested in Infamous and really want it to do well.

It looks just as special as Saint's Row/Crackdown...

So really, nothing special at all. Might come out and totally surprise us though. I think it'll be alright, nothing great, nothing too bad.

Yeah, the Alone in the Dark reviews are really showing this.

This is also why I'm reluctant to hype Sonic Unleshed.

Agility orbs are 3X more addicting than meth.

It's a Crackdown wannabe. So if it copied whatever there was in Crackdown that made it fun like collecting orbs, then yeah it can be fun. But what Crackdown lack was variety of missions. So if Infamous lacks variety, then yes, it wouldn't be a suprise if it flops

So far with whats been released I think it has 8.5 potential but whats shown at E3 can make that go up or down i'm hoping up but I doubt it 8.5 is already pretty high.

Wasn't Crackdown a GTA wannabe? What about Saint's Row? I remember a certain game called The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and it did very well even with GTA out on the market. As long as Sucker Punch does the gameplay right, makes the framerate smooth as butter, and doesn't overhype the living crap out of it like a certain developer did *glances at Free Radical* then we could have a nice AA game to play. Also it needs to come out before Prototype or else it won't survive.

I seriously can't wait until this game comes out. Hopefully at E3 there will be a release date.
