POE on 23 March 2014

I tried the game yesterday. It has some amazing graphics but the game itself feels a little dull and boring. Overall didn't like it very much. But a man should stay honest to his perceptions, and one thing is real: those are really good looking grapichs.

the graphics are not a 10/10..

it's cute, but it isn't a generation ahead visually than infamous 2..

Compare these pictures. If that isn't a generation ahead, nothing is. SS is also at the beginning of the new gen.

Killzone has better visuals at times.. Infamous is cute but it is just a face lift of infamous 2.. It's like a little bit bigger gap from infamous one to two in terms of visuals

lol, where did you get that second son pic?  it is like they removed all the lighting from the game.  The game looks so much better than that.  Terrible pic, terrible comparison.

The point is that second son is much better looking. Definitely a generation ahead by a mile.

Good review. I hope to start playing tomorrow. The infamous games are my favorite open world games, outside of rockstar, so I should enjoy this. It seems most of the negatives are the the areas infamous games have always been weaker on such as repetitive side quests and a not-so-strong storyline. Where would you rank it compared to previous games in the series?

I have only completed infamous 1, but have seen some gamplay of 2. It is def the best in the series, though the story is alot more straightforward then say infamous one with the time traveling stuff. The mobility of this game is far above the previous games. You will love the mobility in this game quite a bit if you liked coles rail thing. Running up buildings, etc just make it great.


Ok thanks.  As someone who thought Infamous 2 was significantly better than the first one I am happy to see this series get better with each installment. I can't wait to play this tomorrow.
