Unlocking in the middle of the day, really Sony? This is just plain stupid.

Steam does it too, I don't get it.

 

[spadge]

What is the release time for the UK/EU? I can't pre-load as I got hit by the bug.

 

[Kaiell]

"Infamous First Light can now be used"

I haven't seen that notification before.

First time I have seen it as well; it popped as I was playing Diablo. Sure beats staring at a countdown.

 

[Dawg]

Reviews are disappointing
Sounds average at best.

Oh well, it's already purchased.
I enjoyed the base game, so I'm sure there will be some fun to be had.

Festival of Blood only got 78% as well, and I enjoyed that DLC a lot.

In fact, I just checked and Eurogamer gave FoB a 6/10, just like First Light.

downloading right now because of amazon code... how is it possible that you can't start preloading with the code? shit needs to be fixed.

 

[RoboPlato]

Played a little so far and the framerate seems a lot higher than the main game. Must be because it's a smaller overall area. It's not 60 but it's more consistently high.

 

[Certinty]

So only half of SS's Seattle is in the game? A little disappointing.

 

[RedNumberFive]

These battle arenas are super fun!

 

[S1kkZ]

short first impressions:

-looks fantastic, maybe even slightly better than second son
-fetch plays great. i love her melee combo and the air dash
-framerate seems better. the annoying stutter (from second son when playing with unlocked framerate) is gone. its not solid 60 frames, but it feels a lot better than ss.
-there is some cool motion blur on fetch legs when she runs. never noticed that in ss.
-the arena with the challenge stuff seems cool

 

[R3TRO]

I forgot how good Infamous looked graphically.

I mean damn this looks amazing.

HMMMM

My god. This is fun. Fetch plays way better than Delsin. And there's a lot of really cool feeling touches here and there.

Probably just a technical issue. The code isn't for a pre-order, it's for the game.

"You luscious neon fatty, I'm eating you whole!"

Fetch is hilarious.

I bought the code before the game was launched, that sounds like a preorder to me, they should let me redeem it and preload, that's it.

Anyway, next time I'll just buy a $20 prepaid card and be done with it.

 

[S1kkZ]

oh boy, they introduced lumes, which are pretty much the orbs from crackdown. fucking awesome.

 

[Slaythe]

So thanks sony for not letting us re preorder the game so that we can't preload and get it.


Seriously how can they poop on us so hard ?

 

[kubus]

When the credits rolled I was really surprised to see (character name and VA "spoilers")

The Last of Us

before this and I really didn't recognize the voice actor at all. Pretty amazing.

 

[NickatNite]

Did SP add rain drop sound effects to bus stops and glass planels on roof tops? Sounds new to me.

 

[S1kkZ]

i wondered why the city, despite beeing the same, feels so different. there are no (really minor spoiler)

Spoiler

dup buildings/concrete constructs. probably also the reason for the slightly better framerate.

 

[HoopzBarkley]

I really want to pick this up, too broke tho. Liking the impressions a lot so far.

 

[Darryl M R]

Watching my girlfriend currently play and we both enjoy it. I hope since I have SS saves I get something nice.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Bought. Oh well. I'm in.

 

[Melchiah]

WTF?! There's no option to buy either of the versions on the European store for those, whose pre-order got cancelled. Really nice, if we don't get to play this on the release date. I sure as hell won't be paying a full price later on.

Hey, take that up with Amazon. I have no idea what you think you bought (or Amazons wording) but it seems like you pre-ordered a code for the game. Not the PSN pre-order. But yes, just buying PSN Credit should always be a simpler move.

Well you preordered the game so it means you wanted the game first, it's normal that you get it last (or not at all since it says we "own it" even though we don't), logic right ?

Oh yeah wait no. Thanks sony. Really nice.

How do I check if a game has started preloading? For Diablo, I had the game available at midnight and I didn't even noticed it had downloaded in the background

 

[hawk2025]

For First Light, it showed up as an icon on my main bar with the download progress and a countdown to unlock, once preloading started.

All other pre-orders show up with a countdown clock under Library.

 

[jacksepticeye]

4 hours 49 minutes as of this post

Does it by itself whenever Sony makes it available as long as the console is on or in standby. Pre-loading is awesome.

You can check the status of the download of the preload in the notification section under downloads.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Yup. Watching the countdown timer then starting the game exactly at noon was pretty sweet.

Ah, ok. That (hopefully) explains it, why there's no option to buy the regular one. Odd though, that it's there before the release.

 

[matrixman92]

collected all lumens and did all mini-games on the map in less than an hour. There seems to be around 10% remaining in each district, something labeled unkown. Anyone know what that is or when you unlock that yet?

 

[VanWinkle]

Enjoying it so far. Graphics are pretty great (not as blown away as I was when Second Son first came out, mind you), Fetch's neon powers are more fun than Delsin's. Melee is fast and awesome. I really like the lumens as the collectibles.

Also, the title screen is really nice. It's in motion, too, not just a static picture.

 

[Dominator]

Played for about 30 minutes, 19%. Cool little side game, I'm enjoying it.

 

[tokyostomp]

Goddammit, I should have pre-ordered. I was just gonna DL it after work.

Can I still get that somehow?

Possibly,

If someone who got a cancellation e-mail can post the Sony Store web link that is included in the e-mail.

We can see if it allows us filthy Non-Pre-Orderers to see if we can Queue it up possibly free of charge.

(I Pre-Ordered from Amazon...)

*Edit*

Link doesn't work for me, Maybe because i'm in the U.S.

That is awesome.

That title screen looks great.

the pre-order skin for fetch doesnt work. is it just me or does anyone else have the problem?

 

[RedNumberFive]

Same here. It looks like it was supposed to unlock and download as soon as the countdown timer went to zero.

 

[2spooky4me]

Laura Bailey AND Ashley Johnson? Oh man.

 

[S1kkZ]

ok, dup skin works now. i had to restart the game.

 

[The Elite]

Is this open world?

 

[2spooky4me]

Is this open world?

Yes. But it's smaller than Second Son.

 

[TGO]

Wait this has been released? What about physical release I ain't had any shipping notices.
