We're glad to see the game get an earlier release -- this Spring drought is killing us! With the game coming out so soon, we'll have to decide on which pre-order bonus we'll want.

YES! This has probrably something to do with Prototype. Generally, I'd think that it would be the Third-Party that would back down and release it later or earlier, but since I was expecting InFamous more than Prototype this is awesome news!

I have to agree, the two games are kinda smiliar and having both release in the same month wouldn't really be a good thing.

Interesting observation. Yeah, it seems like the two games are duplicates! I haven't done my research so I'm not even sure what the difference is at this point.
Infamous, I'm not that excited about at the moment, but that may change once I know more about it.
As for the spring dearth, I'm glad. It gives me some extra time to play the games I picked up last November and neglected (Resistance 2, GTA4 --> lol). Plus spend any other extra time picking up random trophies (I've been wanting to do a "one gun" run in Dead Space).

imo its win for prototype and less so for inFamous. they barely have been promoting this game and now they wont get the publicity from E3.
both games tho will sell better just because dates are a lil bit spread out.

Is inFamous getting an earlier release than Prototype? Damn good news btw!

As long as the game is the best it can be then I'm fine. If they give in to Prototype's release date and release it earlier than it should have been, I'll be annoyed. That wouldn't be good considering I'm already annoyed at that exclusive gameplay pre-order Gamestop bull****.
Either way, the game will still be a purchase for me.

moving it up a few weeks most likely means they dont need as much time to do polishing. if it was something serious left then they would have left the date....

The gameplay itself looks great. However, the game does have atrocious voice acting (at least for the main guy) and hamfisted moral choices. So not perfect, but probably fun to play. I do wonder why Infamous gets all the press and yet I hear nothing of Prototype. Isn't that the game where you run around as a monster?

And that game was great, at first i was only playing it for the story but thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm a big scardy-cat so that says something about Dead Space

Okay, really strange thing. I knew about this before today through gamefly. Their website says May 26th, and has said that prior to the announcement today.

so i expect prototype to change its release date for a second time.
Posted: Apr 13th 2009 3:34PM Jamp said
This has probably been in the works since the date for Prototype was announced.
So if the Prototype devs try something like this I believe they will probably be involved with so much PR BS and bureaucracy that even if they get a earlier release date, InFamous will have been released by then.

Which Super Honky game were you referring to anyway? Did anyone else think in GTA4 there needed to be missions where you stole hubcaps? They should've had that in Vice City at least. Hey, did anyone else huff butane for lunch but me?

Based on the failure attempt to diss the game you won't be picking up prototype either?

Thats good that it moved up cause June is going to be an expensive month for me anyway. Batman, Fight Night, and maybe an new iPhone releasing. Like I said, June is going to be an expensive month for me!!!

Cool. Isn't this a Playstation game though, Joystiq? Where's the 'Playstation' tag?
Posted: Apr 13th 2009 4:12PM (Unverified) said
I assume it's because it's on PlayStation.Joystiq.com so they don't tag it. I dunno :p

Holy crap! I was contemplating on whether or not I was gonna preorder this game because I was going on vacation in June but, since it's coming out earlier, I guess I'll be preordering!

they are different types of games. Though Naruto has an open world to explore it is really a fighting game. Personally, I really like Naruto UNS and all the free DLC they have released. If they patched in online multiplayer and trophies it would be the perfect game.

Hope this game and Prototype dont cannibalise each other's sales, but it does seem that more thought was poured into this game, while Prototype seems likke a more mindless (though fun) beat em up kind of title.
Reminds me of Psi-ops and second sight, didnt these 2 also come out in the same year as well?
