inFAMOUS looking imPRESSIVE

Our frothing demand for this game increases.* After all, the Sly Cooper series offered some of the prettiest and most fun experiences on PS2. So when Sucker Punch – the folks behind the raccoon – makes an open-world game with super powers and drool-worthy looks, we're all over it.

The UK's semi-official PS3 blog, Three Speech, got its digi-mitts on three new screens from inFAMOUS, which, according to the site, will be keeping GameStop employees asking if we want to pre-order it until ... 2009. Still, we'll also surely be seeing more of the game next month at E3. We'd better. Or ... or ... our frothing demand for this game will probably stay just about the same.

I think I'm going blind.

Then there is the annoyance of the capitalization making you want to pronounce infamous oddly. Looks impressive but I'll avoid this game based on the title alone. Same goes for INFITIE UNDISCOVERY and Legendary: The Box. They boggle the mind man.

You're actually going to avoid a game solely based on its title? What kind of gamer are you? Do you people not realize why the name is like that? You can make your character good or bad, FAMOUS or INFAMOUS!!!

Jacksons: Jun 26th 2008; 11:55PM

It's rather hard not to look biased with an avatar like mine, but yeah! Can't wait to see more.

I hope it's not going to be repetitive like Crackdown.

How can you have a sandbox game without repition? *baffled*

Jfk Aok: Jun 27th 2008; 10:27AM

By giving you a true sandbox game and not a linear game that you can only do a couple of things in BUT you can go wherever you like and choose which level you want to complete first.
By today's standards Mega Man is pretty much a sandbox game. Maniac Mansion is about as much sandbox as Crackdown, GTA and Oblivion. And Maniac Mansion is a linear adventure game.
Honestly, the last savior of sandbox is will wright. That was the case 10 years ago and it's the case today.

Interesting. However I just can't help noticing all the zig-zag shadow edges and unatural building textures. Probably still needs a little more polishing.

SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread): Jun 27th 2008; 12:42AM

yea thats what i was looking at. maybe you guys are seeing something else but it really doesnt look that impressive to me yet. ill hold judgment for a while longer yet.

Daniel: Jun 27th 2008; 9:33AM

Did you play GTAIV? It had the same problem to a higher degree....and it got a "10" in graphics from most reviewers.

Hopefully, they'll smooth some of those visual problems out by the time they release it. There is something about this game that gets my attention.

seefresh: Jun 27th 2008; 9:42AM

Shadows look like any other game and the textures actually look good. What the hell are you talking about?

Darth Abe: Jun 27th 2008; 12:35AM

Huh.
It looks pretty cool actually. I think this might be the first game I wish wasn't a PS3 exclusive (not to be a troll, MGS4 or Ratchet and Clank just aren't my thing).

Maverick Saturn: Jun 27th 2008; 8:26AM

I must say I'm curious, but lets see how this develops.

Trev: Jun 27th 2008; 10:06AM

Looks like it's improved a lot from that first trailer they had out for it.

Vcize: Jun 27th 2008; 10:56AM

I'm really looking forward to this game. Call me crazy, but I'm looking forward to it more than R2, KZ2, and LBP combined.

Jonah Falcon: Jun 27th 2008; 1:08PM

Note to Sony: Fooling around with capitalization doesn't mean your game cool. Period.

colinbell: Jun 30th 2008; 9:28AM

Looking forward to inFamous and Saint's row 2 coming out graphics at par with GTA4 and still receiving 7s and 8s in that department from reviwers.
