dwarf Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Read the thread dipshit! Joking, it's out May 25th in US and probably has a similar date for UK. As I said it has gone gold and ready for release, which Choze felt the need to point out also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Lazy Amazon not changing their release dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Uk release could be anything. Look at Socom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Is there a confirmed release date? Just seems odd, GAME don't even seem to have it listed..yet I have been able to preorder the likes of Split/Second and games ever further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameboy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 No date yet. Hopefully not too different from the US date. Surely it will be quite different though? Gone gold in US and not even got estimates on some uk sites...I may import it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) That's a point, importing is probably the better option seeing as this hasn't got an online mode. I personally think it will be the same date, not that I have any insider knowledge. Edited April 20, 2009 by dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, I don't see why they would be different dates especially as Sony now has a global submissions system in place for PS3 and PSN games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well i dont think they will release near Prototype. Infamous is going to have a hard time getting attention compared to an ActivisionBlizzard game(even if they are different). Prototype seems alot like Mercenaries with a Superman x10 character.

Yeah Prototype looks like Mercenaries and Crackdown rolled into one gory combat orientated pastry, whilst infamous is trying to do far more...

Daft Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I prefer the whole look of Infamous but Prototype looks like it's a bit more varied. Plus the morality system in Infamous so far looks incredibly crap. Black or white. Either way, Assassin's Creed 2 is going to be the best sandbox game this year, so... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Well that's why they brought Infamous forward 2 weeks. So hopefully we get it at that time. If not I'll import because personally I'd rather have this than a God of War game. Love the look of the grenades. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYyjfdzZ0z4 Edited April 20, 2009 by dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous also doesnt looks so special either in many ways. Luts see how they turn out. Assassins Creed was nice but very boring for the free roaming bit. It needs much more focus. In general i think sandbox games have not translated well this generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue are two notable exceptions to that, Saints Row 2 for the sheer fun and GTA IV for its approach to narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 To be honest I don't think Infamous will make for a brilliant sandbox world, you don't have the wealth of options available to you eg. driving stuff, so in that respect it may get old but the powers look brilliant, so I'm excited for it.

Aimless Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've a feeling that inFAMOUS¹ is going to surprise a lot of people in the same way that Uncharted did. Many people dismissed the latter as being nothing special until they sat down to play it all the way through for themselves, and I think Sucker Punch's game faces a similar situation. It'll review better than it previews, and despite not doing anything radically new it will crib ideas from a varied array of worthy sources and turn out to be a very enjoyable 8/10 title. I could be wrong — I've never played it — but my gamer's instinct is usually pretty reliable. Usually. ¹Yeah, I can't see myself using the official capitalisation going forward.

dwarf Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 ^ Yeah I wrote it and then thought I'd look like an ass so changed it back. Why inFAMOUS? we can see that the word famous is in there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'd argue are two notable exceptions to that, Saints Row 2 for the sheer fun and GTA IV for its approach to narrative. GTA 4 = boring, yawn fest. Lets see if the upcoming games can change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta when you pre order this in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Multiplayer in Among Thieves, eh? Not sure how I feel about that; I suppose there isn't any particular reason such a mode couldn't work, but I question its long term appeal and potential impact on the singleplayer. Either way I guess inFAMOUS now has one more thing in common with Crackdown. I wonder if Europe will see a similar scheme? SCEE don't seem to be arsed using demos as pre-order incentives, so hopefully we'll be spared the formalities once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
