So is this averted in the sequel?

I think it is... I heard there's even a joke trophy associated with it?

 

[rdrr gnr]

Goddamnit. No luck. I guess the employees at my Target are actually competent.

What?
I used the fences to regain energy, shoot some bolt to electrify it, then absorb.

yes but could you climb them...

 

[Sorc3r3r]

No, but the comic says that you can't interact with it in any useful way, it saved my life many times instead.

Spoiler

I love how the enemies started putting these up as defenses in the later bits of the game.

I was very underwhelmed by inFamous. Lots of repetitive missions (really you're making me turn on another substation?) and mediocre attempts to be other games (you really want me to climb this building for no other reason than to climb it?).

I'm not really sure why this game was so big. It smells of bad spider man games.

 

[marathonfool]

I don't understand why they highlight the worst part of the game on the cover. Character design.

 

[BobTheFork]

My Subway copy just arrived. I can't play it until tonight but who cares. Really been looking forward to this. Everything in the beta tell me this game is going to be badass front to back

 

[Dead Prince]

Infamous 2 has arrived

ugh. want to go home and see if i got it. i hope it shipped both my copies!

 

[Wario64]

XMB screen. The XMB music sounds like some epic shit is gonna go down

 

[Rollo Lawson]

looks incredible

 

[cackhyena]

Wow, that's actually pretty cool looking.

 

[BeeDog]

Just wanted to drop in and say "fuck you, Wario". Well, fuck you Wario. There, I said it. Now give us impressions!

Awesome. Can't wait for next week.

Also, Wario, where'd you'd get your Mirror's Edge XMB theme? Is it official? Dynamic? Produced by m0dus?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

My Target hunt begins! lol

 

[wotter]

Goddamn, first time Sony gave me a voucher for a review code and the store is still offline

Why they didn't use this art for the US cover?

 

[Dyno]

I'm not really sure why this game was so big. It smells of bad spider man games.

What I loved most about Infamous was when you've gained most of your travel powers and you could blaze across the city in style! Power lines up to a big jump that you can then hover glide over to the subway tracks and off you go again! It was truly liberating, it looked good, and it was smooth!

Also the graphical detail in that city put other open games to shame! Every brick, every window, every little detail looked so good. You add some missions in there, some skirmishes, some boss fights and you had a good time. There's not a lot of games like Infamous.

 

[Wario64]

Awesome. Can't wait for next week.

Also, Wario, where'd you'd get your Mirror's Edge XMB theme? Is it official? Dynamic? Produced by m0dus?

I think I got it from the PSN store long ago, before dynamic themes existed

 

[xaosslug]

if anybody happens to see any copies @ their local Target can you grab one for me? :-D

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

i need that xmb pic!

 

[alr1ght]

You missed a golden opportunity, joe. It should have been:

inFAMOUS 2 |OT| Electric Boogaloo.

I thought about it. I was going to go for Electric Colearella.

 

[Wario64]

Sucker Punch loves Uncharted...

 

[BannedEpisode]

Sucker Punch loves Uncharted...

Who in their right mind doesnt?

 

[iNvid02]

can you fry the hobo outside the theatre

 

[NateDrake]

And that image will appear on Kotaku or some other site in t-minus 10...9.....

Seriously, the game looks lovely. Amazed at what Sucker Punch was able to do with the game. I loved the first game and this just looks so much better. Perfect summer title.

 

[Bebpo]

Are there any discounted deals on this? I'm kind of surprised Amazon is selling it for the full $59.99 with no credit. Are stores figuring the pre-order bonus stuff replaces the need to discount the price on release?

I haven't paid $60 for a game in years thanks to day 1 discounts, so I really don't want to spend that much on a game. But I loved Infamous and really want to play #2

 

[Wario64]

Are there any discounted deals on this?

$30 at Target. Right now. lol.

 

[Bebpo]

Wow, what. Is that a price mistake or something? Is it at all Target stores?

you could wait 3-5 days and look for used copies, its pretty much guaranteed someone will have zipped through the story and want to sell it on. happens in the UK all the time, they usually price it a lot cheaper than RRP - i can get la noire for £26 now, it launched at £40 a week ago

 

[Wario64]

Total YMMV, it's in the clearance section

I don't buy used copies because I want to support the devs. I'm just kind of surprised no store is selling it for even $5-10 below since they do that for every other game.

in that case just shell out the rrp or sell the dlc code, they usually fetch a bit on ebay

Blast shards don't get marked on your map. Have fun finding them all again. Fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

They still appear on your radar of course with the L3 click...but no marks on your maps in the select screen

 

[Rengoku]

Blast shards don't get marked on your map. Have fun finding them all again. Fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So, umm, how's the PQ? Any sighs of MLAA or other kind of AA?

 

[Uno Venova]

Yeah I guessed they wouldn't show them on the map, might make it too easy like Spider man 2.

 

[Feep]

The final auxiliary ability gained for completing all side-missions (60/60) will mark the Blast Shards on your map.

 

[JudgeN]

How's the framerate this time around, lock at 30 or that 30-60 spread crap from the first game?

 

[Autofokus]

You missed a golden opportunity, joe. It should have been:

inFAMOUS 2 |OT| Kuwabara kuwabara

fixed.
I don't know why, every time I played Infamous, I thought of Volgin.

 

[Einbroch]

I don't pick up any shards during the game. Then, after it's all over, I look at an interactive map online.

GOTTA GET ME DEM TROFEES.

 

[Wario64]

So, umm, how's the PQ? Any sighs of MLAA or other kind of AA?

Probably the wrong person to ask about that, lol.


Framerate is 30 FPS though some parts in the beginning looked like it jumped to 60 FPS

UGC isn't working btw, it says patch is required but there is no patch!

 

[AEREC]

I saw a demo station at Best Buy over the weekend and it had inFAMOUS 2 on it. The game looked jaggy as hell, but then again I was less than 2 feet away from the screen so hopefully from a normal playing distance they wont be as noticeable.

Well. In general, how bad would you say the jaggies are?

Does that look jaggy as hell to you?

 

[The Lamp]

Played it at Best Buy and my first thought was "Wow, that looks SO smooth and un-jaggy."

Total YMMV, it's in the clearance section

I've been spending months trying to find out the meaning of this acronym out of pure context because I couldn't be bothered to ask. But now I am so bothered I must ask.

WTF does YMMV mean?

You Might Meet Victor?
Your Mother May Vomit?
You Make Me Vodka?
Your Moves Make Vibrations?

Your mileage may vary.

 

[Wario64]

There's some jaggies but I don't think my video setup is the best, I could see jaggies in God of War 3 when I played it on my monitor...like I said, not the best person to ask

Only a hour in so far, feels like more of the same. Probably picks up a bit later but still fun
