Jaw... meet floor.
My dear lord that looks incredible.
I guess an attempt to call him out over some perceived slight regarding Titanfall or the Xbone.
Yeah, but I want it now instead.
Don't drag that shit into this thread, please.

Finally finished Infamous 2 last night in preparation for this (I only got a PS3 last year, and picked up the Infamous Collection not long afterward). Fun game and it's got me really excited to try this out this weekend.

I tried to buy this off the playstation online store but for some reason its not letting me buy it. Gives me an error to try again later.
Edit: try to preorder it to get the extra DLC

I have honestly not been this excited for a single game since Half Life Fucking 2. Bring it on.
Usain Bolt reached 10,4 m/s (37,44 km/h aprox.) in the 200m Final (Beijing 2008). So that's pretty fast.
Your hype being at half life 2 levels has increased my hype.
This is well documented in the circle of hype theory.

In looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the first infamous. The second game was good, but I never got into it as much as the first for wherever reason. I'm looking forward to second son though. I usually go good guy first and I'm careful to control my powers, but I'm thinking of just going balls to the wall with this one. Why release it on Friday though?

I had a chat with Nate Fox a couple weeks ago. It was at the inFamous event in Shoreditch (which was fantastic, pic of swag collected below). I mentioned that I'm a bit of an amateur games writer and he introduced me to a Sony rep who's hooking me up with a review copy some time this week. Stoked.

Every time I see this thread, I get excited all over again, even though I've already completed the game 100% on good! I haven't felt this way for a game in a while, and I'm really itching to get home and wreak havoc as an evil Conduit 
I think what sets this game apart, and why I like it so much compared to 1 and 2, is the setting. It feels much more grounded, which is how I like my superhero games. I like to be "special" in a relatively normal world. I didn't like the somewhat destroyed setting of 1, or the "Beast" in 2. Plus, Delsin and his brother are much more likeable than Cole and Zeke.

That's too bad, figured this would improve. Did they tie upgrades to completing side missions again?
Wow. The Division's graphics almost seems possible now.
Little better comparison:
THAT, my friend, is a generational leap.

Little better comparison:
I cant tell the difference! Mitch Dyer was right!!
yes and then you remember its ubisoft
... but next gta and other sony 1st party offerings ... Will be INSANE.
Yeah I am going to fully enjoyed this.

I'm going to save this post for whenever I feel that there has been a small generation leap, Assassin's Creed and it's ilk really did make me feel like that at launch.Little better comparison:
Plus Killzone 2 and 3 look gorgeous so Shadow Fall, despite being visually incredible, never blew me away too much.
Now that's a next gen leap. Fucking beautiful.
yes and then you remember its ubisoft
I'm going to explode when we see Uncharted.
I agree. This has been a fun one. Very positive and just plain excited. This is why we need next gen to really kick in again. Many have gotten jaded after such a long gen. We really need to have our socks blown off again.

Why does this have to release on Friday? It's not fair.

I'm not a graphics horse, but I'd be lying if I said these shots don't impress the hell outta me.

How does it function exactly? I really need to capture some minimal compression screen grabs.
Sucker Punch loves you and wants you to play it all weekend and not miss time from work.
I can't get over that I2->I:SS comparison shot up above. It's just remarkable. I think we all (myself included) can sometimes feel a little let down overall by what we've seen this gen in that it's definitely a step up, particularly in resolution and image quality, but it just doesn't feel like a full generation leap like earlier gens did.
THIS comparison, right there, makes me so happy. It is even moreso an amazing example considering I2 was a good looking game! AND pretty late into the PS3 generation.

I have to call and see if they are doing a midnight release here.
Little better comparison:
wow infamous 2 looks a lot better than I remember
Here is the same comparison, but with Infamous 2 directfeed shot blown up to 1080p [game engine/ps3 scaler/hdtv scaler can surely do better job than my image editor, also possibly my editor has actually smoothened out some image problems with this pic]
I've been saying it for a long time. A lot of people are very much underestimating what these machines can do if they're just basing capabilities off of cross gen games and launch titles.

This is according to BlimBlim who happens to be one of the only other people I trust when it comes to judging framerate so I suspect it is quite true.
We can only hope they are willing to add a limiter to the game like Killzone.

No. Upgrades are related to
the collection of blast shards. Doing side missions and taking out DUP checkpoints help to unlock a district showdown mission. Completing those unlocks different designs for the back of Delsin's jacket.
Spoilers for those people that don't want to know anything about the leveling system and side missions.

A question for those with the game and who have progressed to late game or have beaten it. Where the hell is the wall of gum? Not a Seattle native but I remember the devs showing it off and I wanted to "visit" during my playthrough and I can't for the life of me find it! lol.
