That was really cool, but I'd like to see it in HD.

So he can fly, sort of? Needs more bosses, but I guess I don't really want to have those spoiled.

Well, Sucker Punch.

well, glide.  and it does have other enemies with super powers.  for some reason this video is only 5 seconds long, but you see another guy attacking him with powers: http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/800208/sucker-punch-project/videos/if_ConduitReapersKill.html

oh shit the glide was AWESOME

[duckman2000]

See, his movement abilities are a lot greater than they previously showed. That's hot.

[AdmiralViscen]

cool, will it delete my saves? -1 day one sale

[Third]

Looks real fun.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Make Sly 4* please

*sequel to the first game

[duckman2000]

I really think they needed this break from Sly. The cool thing is that Infamous seems to borrow a lot from the Sly games; emphasis on bosses, acrobatics, and such. But I'd imagine sticking to Sly and only Sly would suck pretty hard.

[brawndolicious]

I asked but nobody answered on OA: Does this game ONLY have electricity powers?  I might be mixing it up with another game but I thought that they said you'd get to choose from a bunch of different powers?

The electricity power is pretty well done though with the power grid and the quarantine limiting where/how you explore and fight.  So far, the platforming, puzzles, and especially the combat look a little rough.

[duckman2000]

I haven't seen enough combat (let alone puzzles) to form even a preliminary opinion on it, but it'd be quite the surprise if the platforming didn't end up nearly perfect.

And yeah, I think it's all electricity based, with some added advantages due to his urban explorer skillset. You may be thinking of Prototype.

[brawndolicious]

No, I think I mixed it up with some mmo.

I saw a shitload of the combat and platforming in this xplay video though.  The xplay video should be earlier in the game than the ign one because there's no hovering or antennae bridges.  It probably like crackdown where it gets funner to run around as you gain more powers.  The game could use better transition animations.

The combat looks pretty simple though.  There's probably a lot more powers that they haven't shown.

Wow, a gay little glide. Awesome.

Jumping 200 feet is where it's at. This just looks sad.

Is there coop in this? May redeem it somewhat.

I don't really get what you're referencing here.  You want this to be Crackdown or something?

From what I've seen, I don't think it will have any kind of multiplayer.  Don't know if the developers have said anything about it or not.

[fistfulofmetal]

i'd rather be able to glide than have a shitty jumping mechanic, regardless of how high the jump is.

[duckman2000]

From what I've seen, I don't think it will have any kind of multiplayer.  Don't know if the developers have said anything about it or not.

I can't imagine there being co-op without the value of single player taking a hit. A separate co-op component could maybe be cool, although I'm not sure how much sense it would make.

[duckman2000]

I guess the official line is "we're not talking about that right now," and I don't even know what the fuck that means these days. I'm going to guess that it means no, since that's what seems to have happened with the co-op in Killzone 2.

[Jansen]

that glad is lame as all hell

still looking forward to the game tho

no coop? lame!

coop crackdown

coop crackdown

I liked Crackdown a ton, but I don't mind getting a more interesting plot and certainly more interesting characters for a change. This really doesn't sound anything like Crackdown, for better or for worse; more scripted, tighter focus on plot, super-powered enemies, and so forth.
I'm pretty sure Prototype will end up having co-op, though, so you may want to keep an eye on that. It's by the Hulk UD dudes, so it's all but guaranteed to kick ass.

[cool breeze]

Prototype also looks awesome.  It actually has a glide similar to the Infamous one: http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/950254/prototype/videos/ph_adaptiveparkhour_121008.html

[duckman2000]

Why haven't I seen those videos before? 

[AdmiralViscen]

Prototype > Infamous. If it has co op it will be >>

[demi]

Sucker Punch the next studio to go under... careful duckman...

[drohne]

i really fail to see how farting electricity from one's hands would cause one to glide

looks good though, in and of itself -- but crackdown and assassin's creed suck so much that i've become skeptical of the idea of sandbox platforming
