Seems to me that Cole is far from done with getting new powers.

Excellently set up for a sequel too.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

Yeah no doubt. We know his powers evolve anyway. they can be pretty much limitless. electromagnatism, flight, teleporting, psychic etc.

 

[Drz]

I'm trying to do all the quests now, can someone remind me what Static thrusting was again? -_-

EDIT: NVM it was the term for the gliding ability.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

Static thrust....i must use that cos it sounds so wrong

 

[DeGenerate10]

I could use some assistance. On the side mission (EVIL) where you have to destroy the police station. I keep dying so is there a better way to do damage to the building than standing on it and using the down button?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^The one where Reapers help you? I just grenaded the hell out of the door(you gotta get up close)

 

[Tron Bonne]

I had problems for a while with that mission, but then I found this video:

Basically all you have to do is go the rooftop adjacent to the balcony you're shooting and blast away with the Megawatt Hammer, recharge and repeat, not too bad.

if you're evil, do you get back together with Trish after [BLACKOUT]you protect her bus and save her from Alden[/BLACKOUT]?

Spoiler

nope

 

[javi1024]

another question, has anyone played enough or long enough to be able to switch between guardian and thug, or their higher levels? is it possible to reach champion or hero, but then drop down to thug or outlaw?

Finally found my missing shard after a lot of searching.

Platinum has just become mine

 

[BatMatt]

This will probably be the game where I finally get a platinum trophy (I could get it with Uncharted too though, next play through will be crushing)

 

[-Arya-]

Just finished the game and what an ending it was! Did not expect it and the setup for a sequel was masterful. Great stuff.


Now to go through it again as Evil.

 

[darknight88]

digging how they used the whole graphic novel theme into the art of the game. the prequel graphic novel that led up to the game was a brilliant move to, imo: http://infamous.ign.com/#prequel

Infamous became the best selling exclusive IP on the PS3

http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=3961

PS3's newest exclusive by Sucker Punch, InFamous came out May 26th. Sony actually put forth a decent effort on InFamous' marketing campaign, and it was well worth it, as InFamous sells a shockingly 176,000 copies in its first week.

Here is InFamous compared to other games on the PS3.

-InFamous(May, 2009) - 176,000 in it's first week

-Resistance(Nov.,2006) - 42K first week
-Motorstorm(March, 2007) - 107K first week
-Warhawk(August, 2007) - 70K first week(not including downloads)
-Lair(August, 2007) - 69K first week
-Heavenly Sword(Sept., 2007) - 75K first week, 130K first month
-Uncharted(Nov., 2007) - 32K first week, 117K first month sales
-Haze(May, 2008) - 91K first week, 102K first month
-LittleBigPlanet(October, 2008) - 110K first week

Established IP's usually tend to sell more, but InFamous did not disapoint. This game has done extremely well in most critics.

If you have not picked this game up yet, be sure to do so, with over 40 hours of gameplay, this game will keep you busy.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Impressive.

Shocking that MGS4 isn't anywhere on that list.

 

[BatMatt]

Impressive.

Shocking that MGS4 isn't anywhere on that list.

MGS4 is not on the list because it was not a new IP that debuted on the PS3

 

[Havok83]

Impressive.

Shocking that MGS4 isn't anywhere on that list.

I thought it was bc it wasnt an original IP but then again Warhawk isnt either, unless they arent counting the PS1 title as this one was a complete reboot

MGS4 is not on the list because it was not a new IP that debuted on the PS3

Neither was Warhawk

 

[BatMatt]

Neither was Warhawk

Yes, but as you mentioned, the two have very little in common sans the name. That could be an error in vgchartz.com write-up too.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Interesting.

Lair is an embarassment as far as I know, though. But not such a bad list.

 

[Havok83]

Yes, but as you mentioned, the two have very little in common sans the name. That could be an error in vgchartz.com write-up too.

yeah its a technicality bc its not an established IP. But I can see where they might have been going with it considering the only think the 2 games share is the name and flying a Warhawk. Other than that, there's no story that connects them or a common theme

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that list is just meant for 'new' IPs, because Killzone 2 isn't on the list either

 

[hippie_hunter]

I beat the game but then it ****ing glitched on me when it came to saving forcing me to go all the way back to finding the Ray Sphere. I am soooooo pissed right now

 

[Karelia]

I just started playing it. I watched my bro beat both evil and good sides, he 100% the game, finding all the blasts shards was ridiculous, when he only needed to find one it took him almost a day.

This game is amazing. I really don't play many video games anymore, but wow, I love this one!

If they ever made an Infamous film, I think Jason Statham could be an awesome Cole!
