Five minutes of inFAMOUS

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 8th 2008 at 5:45PM }

G4 has five minutes of direct-feed footage of the upcoming PS3 exclusive from Sucker Punch, inFAMOUS. Needless to say, it looks pretty exciting even in this early state. All footage was captured during E3 -- undoubtedly, it's shaping up even better now. Visit G4 to see inFAMOUS for a full five minutes in glorious HD.

Watched it it still doesn't make me get excited. It just says crackdown for PS3 with electricity powers and supposely moral choices.

Vcize @ Aug 8th 2008 10:50PM

Crackdown with electricity? Sign me up!

Crackdown was AWESOME.

frankym @ Aug 8th 2008 5:59PM

This game looks horrible!

Sub-par graphics, gemeplay, etc. Simply does not get the blood pumping.

Jonathan @ Aug 8th 2008 6:01PM

still in the early stage, it's aiming mechanics look mediocre and frustrating like uncharted.

kevin @ Aug 8th 2008 6:56PM

look mediocre like uncharted? dude umust be on crack uncharted has the best graphics ive seen to date(sorry dont own MGS4 :/) this footage is at night time so we cant really appreciate it

Reggie @ Aug 8th 2008 7:21PM

he wasnt talking about the graphics buddy he said the shooting mechanics...calm down and learn how to read

Zombie Huggles @ Aug 9th 2008 3:32AM

Frustrating like uncharted? I would argue that Uncharted has some of the best "shooting mechanics" of any game I've ever played. But I offer you a chance to prove your point by suggesting games with better aiming mechanics. Right now, I can't think of any. The only reason I'd say you had a problem is potentially you suck at shooting games and need an auto-aim to survive.

Jonathan @ Aug 9th 2008 9:41AM

...everyone relax, uncharted's camera is clunky and not that sensitive, mgs4 is a prime example of smooth aiming mechanics. u guys need to chill out out and go replay that game to get trophies, btw i don't suck at video games at all, ill tear you ass a new one in mgo and cod4. u probably got a sloth rank in mgo...

Jonathan @ Aug 9th 2008 9:41AM

this coming from a person who probably has a sloth rank in MGO. dont assume anything about me unless you get your facts straight.

Deviation @ Aug 9th 2008 11:15AM

Maybe you should try, I dunno... turning up the sensitivity of the camera? Uncharted has a lower than usual default but you can ADJUST it.

Zombie Huggles @ Aug 9th 2008 10:15PM

I'll have to concede friend. I've played MGO online maybe...4-5 times. I did pretty well and was normally top 3 in my games. But you probably could kick my ass. CoD4, definitely. I beat that game in one night then returned it to Blockbuster. I think MGS4 is the 3rd person shooter to beat, but the enemies in Uncharted were far more animated and much harder to fight against. I think if you played MGS4 with Uncharted AI, it wouldn't feel as...forgiving? But considering the shooting mechanics of Grand Theft Auto 4, I think Uncharted has it beat, hands-down.

deweather @ Aug 8th 2008 6:13PM

Gamespot had a full 20min demo of that same footage, but it ended with a boss fight. It was mighty impressive. Infamous is one of the best looking games I saw played at E3 and think it'll be one of the PS3's huge titles next year.

The Story, Graphics, boss battles, and the fact it's made by Sucker Punch are all reasons why I'm excited to see more.

Vii @ Aug 8th 2008 6:19PM

The movement seems a little awkward. However, the characters ability to cling and climb is pretty cool. The aiming system also seems kinda weird, but I'm sure that it may have just been the player. I did like the repulsion power that they showed. The one that allowed the character to send the cars flying. Game looks promising overall.

Eggy @ Aug 8th 2008 6:22PM

Looks great and hopefully this game will have a good story. Something that similar games like Crackdown and GTA 4 really miss.

anthonyjh @ Aug 8th 2008 6:25PM

Err, GTA 4's story was actually quite good. Really...

Eggy @ Aug 8th 2008 6:42PM

Imo it didn´t have a very good story. GTA VC and SA had much better storylines as well as more varied and interesting gameplay.

Popfrogs @ Aug 8th 2008 9:42PM

Yeah GTA4 was dead boring. I completed maybe 10 missions and here it sits, faithfully gathering dust while I get trophies in Uncharted.

francisco @ Aug 8th 2008 6:26PM

this game doesn't look cool anymore >.> lost my intrest already

tristan88 @ Aug 8th 2008 6:27PM

the game still needs a lot of work. ill wait until next year before i judge this game.

Aziz @ Aug 8th 2008 6:32PM

Why all the hate for this game? Remember Uncharted didnt look great at last year's E3 but it came out awesome.

Deadpool @ Aug 8th 2008 6:41PM

I don't know what the rest of you were expecting at this point in development. Theres still several months to go on this game.

frankym @ Aug 8th 2008 7:06PM

Dude MGS4 looked awesome over 1 year before it was released.

Trust me, this game will suck. It looks horrible. Will get average reviews at best.

Kodros @ Aug 8th 2008 7:46PM

"Trust me, this game will suck. It looks horrible. Will get average reviews at best."

I have a rule about trusting strange men that I meet on the Internet.

frankym @ Aug 8th 2008 8:22PM

@Kodros

Are you okay?

Kspraydad @ Aug 9th 2008 12:05AM

@frankym...

I thought you were buying a 360 and getting rid of your PS3?

You may be right. I am seriously thinking getting rid of my PS3 for a 360 cus Gear 2 looks insane.

They give the best candy!

DrunkRaba @ Aug 8th 2008 6:44PM

A bad clip to showcase the game as it is quite underwhelming. I'm cautiously optimistic about this game but I want to see some better action and at least someone playing that looks like they have logged some time into it. And for the record, the story in GTA4 was the weakest and least engaging of the series. Truth right there. Most forgettable game in the series save for the multiplayer. I hope for something much better than that game.

duckhunt8 @ Aug 8th 2008 7:03PM

I can't wait for this game. The gameplay looks very interesting, as well as the story and overall concept of the game.

Jonathan @ Aug 8th 2008 7:14PM

read my comment closer, i said the "aiming mechanics" were mediocre like uncharted, not the graphics

ChodalBerryWagon @ Aug 8th 2008 7:54PM

Looks like Uncharted .... but in a city... which I guess could be cool

McBonk @ Aug 8th 2008 10:07PM

Thought the exact same thing.

Seba501 @ Aug 8th 2008 8:04PM

I have been played uncharted a lot this week to unlock all trophies, and wow, the game-play in INfamous is almost identical

Juggy @ Aug 8th 2008 8:09PM

How can you judge graphics from a crappy internet video? yes it says HD video but it is not in its 720p glory.

Gambit07 @ Aug 8th 2008 8:10PM

Reminds me of Assassin's Creed with electrical powers. Hope it doesn't have the repetitivness(?) of that game.

kentuckyfried @ Aug 9th 2008 6:19PM

lol...I had the same exact thought when watching the character. Yeah, for this game to succeed, it needs to be leaps and bounds above AC's repetitive gameplay.

The character motions look smooth, but I don't like how his aiming motion looks so stiff. Why isn't electricity two-handed? Where is the in melee combat?

Hotrod @ Aug 8th 2008 8:10PM

The gfx look pretty good to me, it's just that the guy that was playing really fuckin sucked. He was beginning to irritate me.

Popfrogs @ Aug 8th 2008 9:43PM

It was probably Sessler or one of the other G4tv douchebags. They can't cope without the X360 controller in their hands because it injects money into their pockets.

anthonyjh @ Aug 8th 2008 8:10PM

Holey crap! While I don't think the trailer itself was that good, I think the game has major potential to be fun.

Aziz @ Aug 8th 2008 8:10PM

I guess Im in the minority that thinks this game looks BOSS!!! And Sony also seems to have faith in it since they are planning a massive marketing push for it next year.

Desi_D @ Aug 8th 2008 8:18PM

It's Bloods vs "Crisps" game! All the bad guys are in red. ;p

Dwag @ Aug 8th 2008 8:32PM

All you guys are graphics whores I mean is that all you care about?

bubugalu @ Aug 8th 2008 8:35PM

It looks alot better then last e3, gameinformer had a full article about some of the gameplay mechanics, it was very interesting. I thought this game would be a rental for me but after hear some previews on the game i'm more interested, so its a buy in my book.

Im pretty sure this will be like a sleeper hit or something...

JAH75157 @ Aug 8th 2008 9:03PM

ugggh i was interested in this game, now i think i prefer not to pay attention to it until around when it comes out (so i can see how it actually plays), that video was unimpressive to me. sound effects bored me, looked like awkward movement.

tevin @ Aug 8th 2008 9:13PM

Is it me or does this look like dark sector
i mean it seriously looks like another version of dark sector if you played it

Deviation @ Aug 9th 2008 11:17AM

It doesn't look even remotely like Dark Sector. Are you high?

McBonk @ Aug 8th 2008 10:07PM

Graphics were fine. But this particular clip was completely uninteresting as far as gameplay goes. If Sony plans on marketing this like a blockbuster movie (per a story from a coupla weeks ago) they'd better make sure it is worth it.

Deviation @ Aug 9th 2008 11:18AM

Definitely. Whoever was demoing the game was so awful they made it look pretty bad.

MexicanTerrorist @ Aug 8th 2008 10:23PM

To tell you the truth, I wasnt really interested in this game at first (maybe because there was only one trailer for it and i knew nothing about it) but after videos of it from E3 im getting rather hyped.
Just dont delay the damn thing.

Vcize @ Aug 8th 2008 10:55PM

I don't see why people are so down on this game, it looks REALLY fun to me.

Btw, does this game have a daytime cycle? Every clip and screenshot I've seen so far has been at night.

kentuckyfried @ Aug 9th 2008 6:21PM

I think the gameplay looks great, I'm actually more interested in this than before (I was "bleah" when I heard the initial announcement).

Is this guy supposed to be nigh invulnerable to bullets? B/c whoever's running around in the demo sure isn't doing a good job of avoiding gunfire...
