Eh...I really like it. Seems like the first one, but at a more brisk pace as far as movement, which I'm ok with. The "eh" is because the analog isn't fully utilized and you can't even fucking walk...

Point pop ups still occur in the full game, but the font size is smaller than it was in the original. There's also an expanded score card at the end of a mission that recaps all your stunts performed in addition to the exp points you get for completing the mission and your karmic shift.upJTboogie said:The demo was great, I do miss the points popping up when you kill enemies though, where's my Head Shock
Also the new city does look good at night but I hope just because your evil it doesn't always stay at nighttime, I can't see as well when the game is that dark.
Yeah it ended just when things got crazy, I let off an ionic vortex and right before it hits the enemies I get the title screen f-u SP :lol

Hmm...that kinda sucks to be honest. Not being able to walk was a minor complaint of mine in the original too. Walking in games adds to the atmosphere! I want to walk damn it!

You got the game right? Is it always dark on an infamous play through?Killthee said:

Played the demo. It feels so damn good to play Infamous again. I love the new setting, I was worried it wouldn't be as cool as Empire City. It's that and so much more. Really can't wait to play the full game!

What? yes you can. Under-utilized? yes, there are only 3 movement speeds, but there is a walk, run and sprint.abstract alien said:

I honestly didn't think the first game was all that great, yet I had a really fun time with this demo, so I'm definitely going to check it out when I can. I like the new city a lot.
Yup. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYnDLJE4BuIdark10x said:
I too was disappointed when I heard Amon Tobin wasn't around this time, but from what I can tell this music is even better. It fits both the genre of games and the city of New Marais incredibly well.
God damn at the visuals, they've excedeed my expectations, really
Everything is better, IQ, animation, colours, npc's models and so on
The game seems a little bit too frenetic in the demo but I'm really looking forward the final game, since the first is still one of my favorites games of this generation

Demo erased my fears. Combat is better, art direction and visuals is just fucking gorgeous and eye-popping (dem colors!!), and playing as Cole is just great fun.
Is it true that there's more action in the story line with better cutscenes kind of like Uncharted? Infamous 1 was kinda weak in that area. Felt like just running around doing missions with little in the way of narrative set-pieces.
Edit: yeah I just came from I1 and I feel like the IQ is improved, there seems to be conflicting opinions on this.

SP Devs should drop by this thread at some point. Always fun to have a developer or two running around in these threads.

I'm about 25- 30 missions in and so far everything is a step up from the original. The graphics are better and it seems more fluid. The mission types are good and the random encounters are a nice addition. So far the story is very engaging and I enjoy how Zeke argues with
about how you handle your quests.

Yeah I've always loved that about inFamous, tightest controls in any open world game out there.shwimpy said:
Only thing I noticed is it sometimes doesn't register when I press R1 to start a mission, I usually have to double click.
Can someone who has the game clear something up for me? The pre-order bonus powers of Lightning Hook and something Grenade: can you earn those in the game? Or is this like the blades from the first and you can only use them if you have a pre-order (until Sucker Punch releases them for everyone a year later)?

I haven't seen them yet in game. My guess is they are exclusives to the store. Honestly I never used the blades in the first one as I heard they broke the experience.
duffyside said:
Yeah, sorry I couldn't clear that up entirely because I just don't have the game myself yet. From everything I had heard though, that seemed to have been the case.
darkjedi187 said:
Nah, they were actually pretty useless for the amount of power it took to use them. A few bolt shots or a rocket were both cheaper and quicker.

After playing the demo, does it appear to anyone else like Cole has more 'weight' now than he did in I1? I mean, he's obviously much quicker, but I get this feeling of weight, but I don't know if that is just me.
That's all right, I knew to come here for the answers (eventually).Irish said:
Yeah, I guess I see what you mean. Maybe it's just the "suction" to a platforming point is a bit quicker than before, and also it's less forced. At least it seems that way to me. In the first game, you'd get this feeling of being "pushed" by some invisible hand like you were a feather, but it seems far less intrusive this time.
Holy shit is this demo awesome! The movement around the environment is so much more fluid this time, especially the little height boost you get from the thrusters. In 20 minutes of playing the only time I touched the ground was to get a mission. This is a huge improvement over the first, which was already an amazing game. Day 1 and Sucker Punch has my undying love.

We must be playing different games then. Apparently I have have the magic floating jump/hover version of Infamous 2. My Subway copy is the super-secret limited collector's edition confirmed!
Everytime I jump onto a pole *har har* it floats/hovers my character over to specific point to grab on to. It's really noticeable when you jump from one horizontal pipe to another as you're running forward.

Just played the demo and I was a little disappointed by how dicey the framerate could get. Seems pretty much the same as the first game when I was hoping for a locked 30. I love how fast you can move around, but the framerate sometimes takes a dive as a result. It undercuts some of the otherwise obvious improvements to the visuals.
That said, I wasn't completely sold by Infamous 1's demo either but when I ended up playing the full game I really liked it.

I'm experiencing a major bug with the inFAMOUS 2 demo.
I'm using a Sony Bravia XBR4 1080p LCD and a 60GB BC PS3.
When I start up the demo, the TV flashes a couple of times and then it says "unsupported audio format" and the demo is completely silent.
This is the first time something like this has ever happened for anything in the past 3 years of me using the TV and the PS3 together...
When I boot back to XMB, the sound works again. So the demo just apparently doesn't support sound signals through HDMI or something?

Played the demo, wow that was awesome. I can't wait to get the preorder DLC so I can switch the amp to the samurai sword when I dice up those monsters, so badass. Everything felt great, I haven't played inFamous in a long time and I immediately felt right back at home with the controls in the demo. Can't wait for next Tuesday!
