I have yet to pre-order this (has that been fixed yet?) but I'm looking forward to playing it as soon as it releases.

Infamous: First Light |OT| Make Fetch Happen

- Start date
It's the same actress in both games (Laura Bailey)
I just realized that Laura Bailey and Troy Baker were both in Infamous: Second Son as well as the Persona 4 games
I remember commenting in a thread here that I liked how the devs weren't afraid to have a main female character, not looking like a model. It was cool to see a slightly chubby character and the not so innocent back story made her interesting.
Don't get me wrong, I love the game and could write recommendations that go on forever but this change is just silly.
What's next, Zac Efron coming in to play Reggie for his back story?
not sure i see the difference.
only way to tell is to see the game models with the same expression. (side by side)

According to Kevin VanOrd at Gamestop, it's early Tuesday morning.
You know people lose/gain weight over time and even small weight changes reflect pretty clearly on one's face, right? Considering there's several years between the games and Fetch has lived a very harsh life that involves drugs and prison... And also, as others have pointed out, that picture on the left is a bit weird. Here's the official marketing material:
Promotional material is usually a bit different than the final character.
Seems to me they better represented the original design here, being more athletic. ISS Fetch is actually more pear shaped and a tad chubbier in game and in cinematics.
I can get behind the idea she was more lean when forced to train as DUP special weapon, but you're not going to burn away body type.
Could care less either way. Both models and takes on her look great.

Time to be $15 dollars poorer (and a lot happier)

Several reviews will be after embargo because the game has been impossible to download to this point. Sony were supposed to activate the codes at 10:00AM yesterday morning, but the DDoS attacks resulted in that not happening. The last time I tried using my code was at 11:30PM PST last night, and it was still saying invalid code. The same applies to PlayStation LifeStyle and GameRevolution.

Can't wait for this. She gets the nose ring at some point in the dlc:
This is her brother Brent
Here is the one with the nose ring.

Wow, lucky that EU got the review code three days ago. That sucks for reviewers in NA

Well, I got my code on Thursday. They just don't activate the codes until Sunday mornings.
What seriously? That's dumb. Got the code on friday here and it downloaded fine right away.Well, I got my code on Thursday. They just don't activate the codes until Sunday mornings.

I'm really not seeing any significant difference.

I'm not seeing a drastic difference, from your examples. I see two different facial expressions.

Yeah I was wondering what's up with this? Why do we have to wait until Tuesday to play, aren't new releases usually up at midnight?

I never thought Fetch was "slightly chubby" as you put it. The only differences I can see are facial expression, no coat, and different lighting which would all the model seem a bit different.
Sony has very inconsistent guidelines with how they release games digitally.

Damn, I can't wait for this. That shot above with her brother, hhhhnnnnggghhh. I forgot about her backstory with her brother, how she got captured in the first place.... prepare for the feels.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
You're blowing this ay out of proportion. Pretty sure it's at most a slightly adjusted character model, not a drastic change like you're making it out to be. If anything, she now resembles her voice actress even more.I remember commenting in a thread here that I liked how the devs weren't afraid to have a main female character, not looking like a model.

Yep. I'm hoping for a midnight EST Destiny release. Though I think on the store page it says midnight PST. *fingers crossed*

If you look at both their imdb pages you'll see that they are in a ton of the same games.

No.
It's completely independent of Second Son, so no.

Looks perfectly reasonable and realistic to me considering that this takes place before SS.

Was just about to come complain about that. The hell is the point of pre loading if I can't play at 12:01 am? I wanna blame the attack but somehow I feel it was that way before the down time. It can't be that hard to have the game unlock by time zone.
Hohokum and CounterSpy both unlocked at 1pm as well after preloading.

Pretty much. Why even both with a preload when it unlocks in the middle of the day when most people are at work?
Ugh. I'll probably be playing TWD finale on Tuesday anyway, Infamous might have to wait until Wednesday now

I'm convinced it is up to the developer. Bungie is based in the PST timezone, sooo...
Same. I wonder when will they fix this? At regular store update on Wednesday? Or when?

But Second Son unlocked at midnight....
I just came in to complain about this myself. I feel like this pre-load is more about easing their servers and much less about giving us instant access. 1hr after the day starts is not the end of the world but its a smack if the face when you now have the game installed but have to wait 13hrs after release date to play. It feels like a joke , one that I am on the wrong side of.

Going to wait for the retail version, mainly because the box art is one of my favourites in a long time.

Anyone else having trouble getting the Fetch costume to download? Keeps saying download failed.

Just play what you want to play.. you make it seem like work.

Didn't pre-order those, but that doesn't surprise me now. Why 1 pm though? Such a random time. I could understand 12 am PST and 3 am EST but 1 pm? Plus like most people I assumed this would work like steam does.
Go to your library, look at the add-ons for First Light. It should say the costume was installed.
I've seen people say this is a common issue for some PS4 unlocks. The notification says the download failed, but it's fine.

So if I try to pre-order this after work it won't pre-load and the DLC bonus stuff won't work either?
