Dayum, this looks SO GOOD. Absolutely beautiful facial animations and the game looks SO MUCH FUN.

Think Sucker Punch has hit it big this time

Looks sweet!
But too much CG, too little gameplay.
Well, maybe the gameplay is actually that good that I can't tell the difference anymore lol

Laughs aside, we are getting to a point where it's difficult to differentiate, and probably doesn't matter.

Cutscenes rendered in the game engine, even in realtime, aren't really what I care about seeing in a trailer. They often aren't truly representative of the in-game graphics, similar to CG. I'll watch that as I play the game. But trailers that are lacking in gameplay, such as this one, aren't the greatest.

My god that was amazing.

Also, I find it interesting that some of you are saying you weren't into the first two, but are on board with this one. Did you see the gameplay videos? It plays nearly the same way. Unless all you didn't like was the graphics in the first two, which is an interesting way to completely disregard them.

People didn't like the characters or story, which is wholly understandable IMO. I still had a great time with the games, but the fiction is skippable. This game looks like it might have some charm to go along with the mayhem.

Fair enough. I can understand not liking the characters and such. Deslin does look to be a better character than Cole.

Actually choose Prototype over Infamous when they both first came out. From the reviews, I thought Infamous looked a bit slower then Prototype, and I was right for the most part.

Then the PSN outage happened, and Sony let me play it for free when PSN came back up, and holy crap did I fall in love with the game. It was rough around the edges, but it was fun. I thought the story was a little cheesey, but I liked Kessler as a villain and the twist that came with it.

Infamous 2 improved on every single point of Infamous 1. I felt extremely powerful in Infamous 2 by the end, good or evil, you could see why Cole was the one who was gonna decide the fate of the world, and the gameplay reflected this as well. Throwing a freakin tornado of electricity and win and wiping out an army of dudes all shooting at you was an amazing sight.

That's the thing, you can't go out and make a super hero game and talk about origin stories and choices and villains, and then miss the whole point. As humans we have been telling stories for thousands of years, story telling has become part of our nature.

Without good characters or story, or without good writing, these videogames are just exercises. If I was responsible for a game with big time production values, animation, acting, and it had shit writing or simply no interest in characters and story I would find myself wondering why the fuck we were even trying to sell the idea that we were.

Infamous 1 and 2 are two examples of games with terrible characters and story and writing all into one. Yes there are moments where it actually delivers something good, but they are hidden in 20 hours of crap.

Did I catch Fetch's last name in that trailer. Miasamich?

Terrible joke

But yeah, I'm finding Fetch more interesting that Rowe.
 
Maybe I'm spreading misinfo, but that looked like what the enemies were using in a previous demo, to make platforms from walls and spring jump from the ground.

I know what you mean; in the previous trailer it had some soldiers super-jumping around and creating small kind of concrete arcs where they jumped from.

I'm loving the look of this, one thing I really like so far is Delsin himself. It's nice to see a character enjoying himself and not moping around, worrying about existential things or regretting something in his past. It just looks fun, tonally and in gameplay. Can't wait to play it.

Wow.

The story and characters and dialogue in Infamous are perfectly serviceable. Not great but I've yet to play a game of this type that nails that aspect. No reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

That's my take on him as well. It's great to see the character having as much fun as we are.

I'm not saying every character should be that simple and lack internal conflicts (which I think he will have, just not when it comes to enjoying his powers), but the stories in those kinds of games are mostly terrible anyway, so existential characters are just annoying.

Yeah I loved the Comic Cut-scenes (which I think there was a bit at the end), and I really liked the ending of the first one.

Wow what? It's 100% true. I didn't find it serviceable at all, and I don't really care much for other super hero games not "nailing" it either, since they are mostly licensed crap. Plenty of open world games have managed to deliver far above Infamous weight when it comes to story, story telling, characters, writing etc.

Wow as in wow that was a pretty pretentious thing to say in the context of the rest of your post.

So just trash the game because you don't like the story? I'm as pro-narrative as anyone but that strikes me as an incredibly closed-minded viewpoint. Different games have different "needs" and few would argue that a strong narrative is a more pressing need for a superhero action game than the superhero action itself, which Infamous excelled at.

This is the game that will force me to buy a PS4. Everything about it just amazes me, and I just want to see more and more.

I can't wait, and it is by far my most anticipated next gen game. Please don't disappoint, Sucker Punch... but after inFamous 2 I don't see why they would. :)
