I don't know about this game pushing any hardware sales Seth, but I'm looking forward to this about as much as I am Prototype. There was a new trailer released today:

[Cryox]

my friend showed me this game a couple months before Christmas. It looks like a promising game.

If another 360 fails on me, i guess i'll be able to play this game.

 

[user friendly]

Great trailer, hopefully it's fun to play. I don't really like the looks of the enemies though. Bosses look cool.

 

[user friendly]

Demo is up on the Hong Kong store.

Demo is up on the Hong Kong store.

Thanks, Ill get this after I am done with my wisdom tooth surgery tomorrow.

 

[user friendly]

It was pulled off the store. I was trying to get my HK account set back up :angry:

 

[Sullivan]

Damn, so its gone for good now? For the time being?

 

[Whisper]

I have a reviewer on my friends list who's playing infamous as I post. To bad he has to keep mum about it.

 

[Slasher]

So I think this game is released now, right?

How is it??

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess it isn't released just yet.

there's a demo on PSN store

 

[PSPHax0r9]

The demo was one of the best demos I've ever played, managed to get over an hour of playtime on a single playthrough...the game itself was really cool and the demo gave a good taste of what the game will be like, it seemed.

Luckily I have it on reserve, but now I know this will be a Day 1 purchase for me.

 

[Joey]

The demo was damn good, but like Crackdown, I see the novelty wearing off very quickly. No way I buy this game.

The control was excellent though. Climbing buildings was easier than crackdown, but as visually appealing as Assassin's Creed. Very impressive.

Like I said though, I think I've already exausted all the fun I'd have with this game just playing the demo. The missions were the worst part.

 

[Abe Froeman]

I wanted to try this out last night, but it must have been months since I turned on my PS3 so I had to do a system update before downloading this and after like 30 minutes I gave up to go to bed. I look forward to trying to out tonight possibly though.

 

[Riorio99]

I don't know why, but I didn't enjoy the demo. I'll play it a couple more times, because I was rushed the first time, so don't take my experience as gospel just yet.

 

[Hanzo_f19]

I enjoyed the demo but I kinda felt like the dude was over-powered.

 

[PSPHax0r9]

I enjoyed the demo but I kinda felt like the dude was over-powered.

I was under the impression that he was at the height of his power, or at least close to it in the demo. If you go into the Powers menu, it says all the stuff is already Purchased.

To that I say "FUCK!" - the one thing I hate about the system, the updates to it take forever (still need to update my PS3's wireless with my new router key) and still need to pick up some games for the system.

I don't see any point in buying inFamous as Prototype is right around the corner, which IMO, will be the better of the two games

 

[Abe Froeman]

Yeah it's annoying for sure.

I played it and it's cool, but like Joey I feel it got a little repetitive towards the end.

 

[Scorned]

I might be picking it up, from what i played in the demo it was pretty good, and i've heard it compared well to Spiderman 2, which from what i played was a pretty decent superhero game.
