why is it that when a ps3 exclusive actually gets good scores xbox fans try to discredit it by saying it is a rip-off or generic?
infamous rips off fable
heavenly sword rips off god of war
killzone is generic and has mp that rips off team fortress and cod4
when is enough enough?
what game is totally original in every way? it's impossible to make a game that shares no elements with previous games. the evolution of games is incremental. it's about taking what came before it and making it better. so to say that a game is a rip off of a prior game is to say that we are not reasonably understanding the direction of gaming.
there is plenty of room in video games for titles that hit certain points the same way.
the idea of being able to decide which way you will play a game as either a hero or villain is not new at all, but then again neither are sandbox titles, and neither are third person beat-em ups. infamous has elements in common with many, many games, but the fact that it has a unique story and setting with its own execution is more than enough to let is stand alone and be judged accordingly.
i'm not saying infamous is great. i doubt i'll buy it, but let's keep the commentary in the realm of reason, shall we?
art is the excrement of culture
