Please don't let Infamous SS be staggered within the launch window, its the system seller for me. I still want Killzone SF, too but I want Infamous more.

I know its been normally done that way, but does the launch really need to be staggered? I remember Vita having maybe one of the most solid launches, but Sony attempted to stagger the releases and everyone screamed "Slow to release" and "No GAEMZ!".

It might not be so bad to just explode as soon as you launch with several big hitters. This would encourage right off the bat early adopters who are fans of certain franchises to just jump in. If the fans have to wait for their games of choice to hit months later it will slow down the sales, giving an impression of not doing so well, which in turn will scare off early adopters as they will hesitate.

I kind of hope InFamous:SS is staggered. Maybe Jan or Feb 2014.

 

There is sooooo much competition this holiday season. InFamous would get lost in the shuffle (COD, BF4, ACIV, Watch Dogs, KZ:SF, etc)

 

Let it come with the 2nd wave of next-gen games when there is a drought. People will be looking for new games for their new system after XMas. People will be looking to spend their XMas gift cards. A game like InFamous needs its own breathing room, and Sony can't market everything at the same time. 

 


no no no no

PS4 will assuredly need more than KZ as exclusive at luanch :/. I know I would not be the only person highly dissappointed by that. Infamous isn't some kind of huge seller, but neither is KZ. Their point is that they will showcase PS4 tech exclusively around launch. Sure, GTAV will be out, COD will be there, but neither will showcase what Sony fully has to offer with their console because they are inherently Multiplatform. 

I truly hate this fear of the "Big Fish" every holiday. Its so silly I think to slate any game for the holidays when you know the annual franchises such as Madden,COD,Assassin's Creed will inevitably be there. Either don't schedule for holidays period unless it can compete or just suck it up and take a chance, no matter what Christmas is still the BEST season to sell anything. Just need to advertise it right. Me personally? Couldn't care less about GTAV(not feeling this one at all), COD, ACIV is becoming far to saturated for me to care, etc. For someone looking for a different gaming experience, games like Sony exclusives are essential.

maybe I'm just thinking of myself, but no no no no no


YES YES YES YES YES

 

InFamous will get swallowed by massive marketing campaigns of Assassins Creed IV, Call of Duty, Watch Dogs, Battlefield4, Killzone:Shadowfall, PS4, and NextBox.

 

It needs it's own release space.
