I've been playing it for a good 2 days now and I'm in awe of the graphics and detail put into it. It's a great game and I love how Delsin's reminds me of Howard from Big Bang Theory lol. I have some screen to share as well but it seems nowadays a person has to have either Facebook or Twitter (I have neither) to get anything done on the internet. I'll find some other way to upload them though.

Make a Facebook just to upload the pics annd show us, all you need is a Google e-mail, you could get one of these in 5 minutes too on Google.com. You do´t have to use it as a social thing, just to show us your gameplay pics



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

The first two were pretty too, but man...

I beat the game in good (100%) and evil (expert) in just one week (platinum). The game is beautiful and effects are cool but very short. And the gameplay is the same as old gen (like Assassin's creed, Far cry to gain ground against ennemies). The several powers are not very different too.

So I enjoy the game but I'm little disappointed.

What do you mean it plays the same as old gen? Does it play like an inFAMOUS game? Wait, is that a bad thing?

It plays better in my opinion. You can tell it is an inFAMOUS game but the gameplay is much smoother and powers more diverse. The biggest negatives of the game for me were probably story and that the city felt kind of dead. It looked beautiful but there wasn't much substance to it.

playing through 100 percent on good was so much fun but playing through on evil reaches a whole new level

Would you guys say this is the currently best looking console game?

I haven't played it yet. Not a fan of Infamous so I'll wait on a price drop to avoid regrets.

2nd best. KZ:SF looks better but that's not open world. The blurry (far) backgrounds are a bit of a distraction in Infamous SS, too heavy dof effect. The timelapse sequences and neon effects more than make up for it though. Looks amazing in motion. It's more fun to play as well.


I'd say second best, but put it behind Ryse. Of course, inFamous is an open world game where as Ryse is a linear action game. inFamous is the best looking open world game on next gen systems at least.

Ryse looks too soft for me, Infamous has the same problem with the far background, too much smoothing. It's still very impressive.
I just unlocked infinite running with the neon powers, amazing how the engine keeps up without any visible effort.

I'm agree with you, the gameplay is smoother than previous Infamous. I just want to say it's just more of the same. There are no new gameplay mechanics and powers could be use in a different way than just fly, climb or kill ennemies.

I don't see the point you're making. Why is it a bad thing that it plays like an inFAMOUS game? I'm sure you know that there is more than just flying, like using smoke vents, neon running, and you don't have to kill enemies you can subdue them. What else do you want to do with enemies?

I think I was waiting more for this game. With a hero who can absorb every power, the game design could add more variety in missions and use of these powers (infiltration, ennemies control, more destructions...). As I said before, I enjoy the game but I am a bit disapointed because I think the game had more potential.
