I wish I hadn't seen this video. That's just freakin' lame. Not only can you have enough energy to do the thing way more than you'll ever need to, but it's just a swing??? Atleast for the lightning storm, you were crippled by the fact that you had to remain in one spot and couldn't defend yourself. This is too much.


Lol bro its only a coded demo for showing off to people. The final game will have an energy bar.


Even then, it's still to over powered if you can do it more than once. Energy bar doesn't fix the bolded. Compared to the lightning storm:

It's faster
Quicker execution
Wider spread/damage area
That wider spread is even wider if you consider the fact that it not only explodes things like the lightning storm but stuff like cars actually get flung around
And leaves you not only able to defend yourself but fight with it.

Yeah but we don't know if it will take up your whole energy bar. Also we don't know if theres going to be hugh and stronger enemies where you need wider attacks like that. This is just a demo with unlimited powers. For all we know is that vortex move could be the last move you unlock in the game. Sucker Punch know what they are doing. They will not put something in a game that could break the whole mechanics.

My guess is the game has attack helicopters that appear during missions and side mission sort of like the turrent trucks from Infamous 1 and the Vortex move is the only thing that can take them out or who knows maybe you have a special bar seperate to the electricity bar that fills up over time which allow you to release those kinds of moves.  You shouldn't judge things off a demo based on pre Alpha codes


Well I'm not going into buying the game blind if I only see stuff like this thinking "it's gonna be better than what they're showing me". Not saying that I've given up on the game or have cast full judgement at this point. just saying that so far, what i've seen isn't very promising.


I'm starting to think you just want to hate on the game and are looking for any excuse to hate on it. Well thats your choice if so. I know its going to be awesome. You may aswel just take Infamous 2 off your radar now then because the final product won't have unlimited powers but everything else will be very simular to that shown in the videos

the developers already put out a statement on what this game will play like.  i'm too lazy find the video but the gist was, "we didn't want to start the game by taking away any of your powers.  we want you to start the game by feeling like a super hero.  what you will soon find out is that being a super hero is going to get your ass kicked and in order to survive you'll need to become an uber-super hero."

so seriously, stop being such a hater.  it doesn't matter that this spell would be over-powered in infamous because it won't in infamous 2.

 

OT - for an open world game with that much destruction and that many people on screen the graphics are just insane.


I'm a hater just for being a critic? Sorry if I don't look at everything with Sunshine and rainbow tainted glasses. It's one thing to say something, it's another to show it. Sure they say that, but I'm just going buy what the video shows me. They also say inFamous 1 is only possible on PS3, guess I should simply believe that. 

For the record, I've said it time and time again on these boards; inFamous is one of if not the best game on the PS3 for me. I'd love a sequal, but I'm not going to take just anything the with the inFamous label with a 2 after it. I want a game that I think is good and so far I'm not very impressed with inFamous2. Holy shiT!!! There's a guy that looks at more than just nice graphics, destruction and uber-powers when buying a superhero game.

Think what you want to think, I'll think what I want to think and buy what I want to buy. How about we go with that? Since it doesn't matter if I say "Not saying that I've given up on the game or have cast full judgement at this point". Seriously... all I did was point out one thing I'm not to big on... that's it.  I'm starting to think you're just being too defensive.

Yes but people pointed out it was just a demo that the final product will be differant and then you said from what you've seen so far that your disappointed with the game. Theres nothing wrong with being a critic but when you critize an unfinished product you should expect some criticism back yourself.

Did you read my reply to the first post in which you replied to me??? It's not about whether the move is unlimited or not. I said if you can do this attack more than once with a bar of power it's just over powered...

"Even then, it's still to over powered if you can do it more than once. Energy bar doesn't fix the bolded. Compared to the lightning storm:

It's faster
Quicker execution
Wider spread/damage area
That wider spread is even wider if you consider the fact that it not only explodes things like the lightning storm but stuff like cars actually get flung around
And leaves you not only able to defend yourself but fight with it."

Then you started talking about some hypothetical/possible solutions. Those are just ideas; i'm talking about what's actually being shown in the game. I got that it's a coded demo, but that's irrelevant to my point.

Keitler mentioned that what maybe be overpowered in inFamous 1 won't be in inF2. Sure, that's what the dev's say but I pointed out: 1) just because they say it doesn't mean it'll be the case, or even true. It could be what they're aiming. 2) We don't have an opinion from them on the difficulty of the first game to even know if they considered Cole over powered or what not. Fact is, a lot of people much like myself who even enjoyed the game felt you had more powers than you ever needed in inF1.
