I expect a low 80's metastatic rating. A lot of reviewers won't care about the familiarity but others will. "It's a great game, but it's infamous....."

I can totally see this, too.

Any idea when we should expect reviews to start rolling in?

 

[Kyoufu]

I'm way too hyped to care about reviews. Plus, I've already paid off the digital pre-order.

I expect InFamous but with better presentation and graphics, so if it ends up being just that then I will be pleased.

 

[Endo Punk]

When does the review embargo lift? If it's closer to release then I don't think they are confident with the game.

I doubt that they've even set a review embargo since it's doubtful that anyone even has the game to review at this point. It's still a month out from release.

 

[N30RYU]

I can't care less about reviews of inFAMOUS SS... more if they can spoiler what other powers we can get... some Bosses... or if Cole or Zeke will show up...

If SP doesn't want us to know much about the story is for some reason... that's why I'm in only for official trailers till release.

 

[Occam]

This looks like the first real "next gen" game, would have liked this much better than Killzone at launch (I got the KZ bundle).

 

[Sir Blaming]

eh, no ps4 for me but i don't care

 

[Prince Vultan]

You can expect Gamecentral/Metro to give Second Son a serious hatchet job review. Assuming it's still got the same staff it did when the first two games came out anyways.

 

[Occam]

eh, no ps4 for me but i don't care

Then why post?

EDIT: I think I misunderstood you, you have no PS4 but sill board the hype train?

 

[Sir Blaming]

Then why post?

cause i actually want to play/watch this game

 

[Occam]

cause i actually want to play/watch this game

Yeah, gotcha. Watching streams is a no-no, though. Get your own!

 

[Spectromixer]

I can't wait, wish it came a bit sooner so I could play it on spring break.

Everyone is REALLY excited,

should we expect something better than the first two? Other than graphics I dont see a reason to get more excited over this title than the first two.

If it's as good as the second one, I'm going to be very happy. One of the most fun games I own.

Well, if one really enjoyed the first two games then being excited over "more of the same" makes sense.

Expect overall improvements. It seems a lot more polished regarding almost everything. Story, voice-acting, graphics, gameplay seems more varied as well.

If they improved the sound effects notably since i2 waits to be seen.

While there may have been a few minority cases where this is true; that is generally not the case and one of the dumbest misconceptions around here. Embargoes are typically in place to avoid spoilers getting out. Studios work for literally years to craft a very specific experience for the player and don't want all those efforts of secrecy to be for naught a week before release.

It has nothing to do with "confidence" in the product.

Leave that to the people to avoid. TLOU was reviewd over a week before the game came out so it's not like the game is forgetten or spoiled for everyone if reviewed early.

There's definitely something to say when a game is reviewed early or on the day of release.

 

[Grinchy]

If its gone gold why are you releasing it 3 weeks into March? ;_;

RELEASE it already! March 3rd, before Titanfall or something. Or the week after!

It's probably something to do with having to print millions of copies and shipping them to various retailers.

 

[Moskitokrebs]

and now I´m just gonna wait amazon to send my copy!

Fair enough Looking forward to the OT and reviews

I'm looking for suggestions! Any plays on superhero slogans or puns involving smoke/fire or neon/light would be great.

If it hasn't already been mentioned, it'd be cool if there was a Ryan Davis tribute in the OT. Something about finger tech.

Better.

Infamous 2 is a lot better than the first.

nice. gonna download infamous2 now. time to turn up the hype for this game.

Anyway - 4 weeks to go and I'm hyped to the max. Infamous is perhaps the most fun open world game after Crackdown I have ever played. (I'm very bias to Sci-Fi / superhero games) Collecting those shards is massively addictive!

I need to decide if I'm keeping the CE or sticking with the regular version.

To beanie or not to beanie?

Depends on your age. I don't think you can pull a beanie off past your twenties. Unless you're a rock star or something.
