Forums - Sony - Infamous demo is up NOW!!!

Parasitic said:

Ok the demo is really damn fun.

It's pretty much what I was hoping for - nonstop explosions. The sound and lightning are really good. The basic lightning attack looked pretty lame in the videos I've seen, but on the HDTV it's actually fun to use. The combat is great. Simple things like the Thunder Drop or rolling give you a sense of freedom and power, especially combined with the destruction all around you as you fight.

The biggest issue I see so far is the jaggies - graphics normally somethin I'd never complain about but they're just so ugly. Still though, it's not somethin you'd pay attention to during combat since your guy is very agile. The civilians are pretty lame. They have this lifeless feel to them mainly because of the animations. Their dialogue is also is abit overexaggerated.

The controls feel pretty flawless. They very comfortable to use (I still hate the dualshock though).

The game doesn't exacly feel that "open" in the demo - you'll get an "abandoning mission" message if you go out too far.

One thing I really wish it had was some kinda of "punishment" for causing all that destruction - in GTA you get the cops on you and it can be pretty fun fighting them off, especially when you're just lookin for some quick action. In Infamous, all you get is a bunch of panicky civilians. It'd be cool if some were equipped with weapons and started attacking after killing so many of them. I say this because the combat is really fun and sometimes I just want a nice long battle.


If the full game is as good as the demo, I'm definitely pickin this up.

That's only in the parts where you are actually on a mission. In the second part, you are free to roam around as you please (until a timer strikes, and you're forced into the next section, but there's still plenty of time to play )

On the trailers the game looked okey but the gameplay is very fun and the controls are perfect. I need to buy this game.



 

Was i the only one who thought it was really annoying that bad guys shoot u all the time in the back.

Why does Cole make such a weird sound when he's running?

Anyone else notice this? Its like his pleather jacket is squeaking or something. So odd. I cant believe they put that in the game.

Stay high I'd suggest.  Many enemies are and running around in plain site seems to be a no-no.  Enemies are actually pretty good I thought and will try and surround you so they can soak you with gunfire.

Going high, flanking, etc. seems the way to go.

I'm actually pleased with this as the demo suggests to me combat will be more involving than just running around zapping bad guys easily.  With larger clumps of enemies or tough special enemies care must be taken.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
