Mind-blowing footage of InFamous 2 showing off the foliage

I like how this thread about how awesome infamous is shaping up to be and how good it looks is derailed by a hermit who has to ruin everyone's day by trying to start a crappy graphics argument over how PC is superior.

Fantastic.

I can definitely see ND hand on this.

OP mentioned the foliage. Some static trees which have have branchs with no collision dection. Looks good for a PS3 game but there is no foliage imo. The ground is bare 95% of the time with a few "grass" sprites. Everything else looks alright but the framerate is pretty iffy.

Mafia 2 is not an open world game.johny300

its a star wars ripoff but i dont mind :)

It looks improved over inFAMOUS to say the least(which is a game I like). So I guess I'll get to what's bugging me

-I don't like how scripted that looks. Not that the original wasn't scripted, but I was hoping it for the missions to not be so formulaic so much.
-I don't like that it's still playing like a shooter, except you replaced guns with electricity. Like the car throwing power was cool, and the combination stuff looks interesting, but what else? Lets go bigger and broader with those powers.
-It seems pretty good looking for a sandbox game. Which concerns me. If they upped the ante on graphics than what did they pull back on? I assume a sacrifice was made somewhere.

I agree.

Cole's powers seem limted. If you were to put Alex Mercer and him in a fight, Alex most likely beats him easily. And in general, Alex powers are not just his shapashifting, but its connected all throughout his body.

Cole is just a man with electrocity. No superstrength, no hulk-jumping, not thermal vision, no agility, speed, invulnerability, etc.

Unlike Alex, Cole takes massive damage from bullets and will not survive a nuclear explosion like Alex did.......guy can't even tough water. SuckerPunch needs to expand his powers and make him do abnormal changes than just shooting out electricity. They said they wanted to make him a "Super-Super heroe" but so far he is just a guy that shoots blue sparks and is vulnerable to just about anything.

the only reason your saying that is because of the cross hairDeathnoteSz

Horrible idea dude horrible idea. we dont want an invincible super hero. that isnt the point in the first place all he needs is electricity powers and nothing else they are different ways to use the power so deal with it. alex mercer is soooo cheap i mean hes pretty much invincible there was no challenge in that game. i like that he is vulnerable i mean every super hero has their weakness. i could easily kill superman if i had kryptonite with meDeathnoteSz

its a star wars ripoff but i dont mind :)

When he aims, why is his arm moving as though he has a mental disorder? They need to fix that.

Overall, I'm actually very impressed with this game. It looks like a huge improvement from the first game. The combat looks a lot more fluid and the environments look a lot more atmospheric. In a way I think this game has the potential of being better than Uncharted 2, because it looks like Sucker Punch is really aiming to make this sequel on the same level as what Naughty Dog did with their sequel, only this one won't be confined as a corridor shooter.

Yea that comparison isn't doing it for ya, u hating man :P

The Prototype comparison wasn't that bad if you ignore the powers of both, but focus on what Radical did. Alex didn't shoot out anything. Everything was centralized with the capabilities of his physical body. Alex himself IS his own power...rather than Cole AND electricity.

But I get your point. Though, it'd be pretty challenging for Sucker Punch to come out with something different. It DOES have that TPS/FPS feel to it. So hopefully SP does something about it.

Maybe some Doom approach mixed with The Force Unleash might do the trick.

Pure Epicness, looks miles better than the first one

Definetely the best looking open world game on consoles. It probably will be the most fun as well

toast_burner

Not sure about that. But yeah, it looks up to Assassins Creed 2 and RDR level.

Agreed. If you look at the ground it is eerily similar to the ground of the ps3 version of Mafia 2. In other words....it looks barren.You know what else is funny? If you watch the video the OP posted you'll see that there are some trees that don't have any leaves at all.

Looks pretty nice,love the lighting and depth of field.Hate the draw distance and JAGGIES.

Not a big fan of the first. Played it for 2 hours and returned it (rent). But that looked tight! Might give 2 a shot.

Meh, looks boring like the first one.

Looks fun and the graphics look better than the first one. Not as good as RDR though.
