I'm sure it will air on Spike a few times

The fact that there is seemingly more excitement surrounding the accompanying beta is down right troubling.

Oh, it's good for sales for sure, but it doesn't feel right, does it?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #4 on:** April 27, 2009, 07:04:00 PM »

i've gone from not paying much attention to this game to really looking forward to it

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #5 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:14:15 PM »

i was gonna go out and preorder this game but i forgot my wallet

cool breeze · « **Reply #6 on:** April 27, 2009, 10:31:09 PM »

the game is looking really awesome. Videos that have come out recently show that melee combat is a big part of the game too, so I'm happy about that.

This looks like it could be the best first party ps3 game so far.

Pre-order exclusive demos are so idiotic. Although, chances are that there will be a Euro demo available, as I don't think there is a similar pre-order program over there.

As for this game, I have to say that it seems to channel more of Crackdown than I expected it to, in terms of using the vertical nature of a city to great effect. It's really only that one aspect of it that feels similar, but it's a pretty important one.

The main difference for me is that Sucker Punch have concentrated on delivering missions that have the same kind of attention to detail normally reserved for linear action games (that was one of their primary goals). Crackdown was too open ended for its own good, if you ask me. Infamous initially seemed like a Crackdown clone, but it is turning out to be something much more (at least, I hope that's the case).

pilonv1 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2009, 09:44:33 AM »

awesome video, got a massive crackdown vibe from it more than any other media ive seen for it yet.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #16 on:** April 30, 2009, 10:41:03 AM »

this game looks like what I wanted Crackdown to be. i thought the platforming aspect of Crackdown was pretty crappy. best way I could describe it is like throwing a rock a building and hoping it sticks. blah
here you're actually climbing and jumping up buildings.

from what I've seen the game should have a shit ton of awesome platforming stuff built into the city.

The platforming mechanics were very simplistic, but I thought it was quite well designed in how it very precisely enhanced your abilities to reach higher and higher. Even with blatant super-human powers, it was a rewarding experience to reach the highest point in any area, based on your power and skill level. Compare to something like Hulk UD, where you can just run straight up buildings or climb them by smashing through walls, there isn't much of a sense of achievement in reaching those rooftops.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2009, 01:51:11 PM »

i don't get a sense of accomplishment when I overcome shitty controls

which is why RE5 is crap, but that's another story.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2009, 04:05:44 PM »

Are you saying that Crackdown had shitty controls? Other than the driving, which improves based on skill level, I don't agree with that at all. The game is plenty flawed in other ways, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain about the controls.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #20 on:** April 30, 2009, 04:22:57 PM »

the controls for platforming sure did. as a shooter type free roam game it was fine.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 30, 2009, 04:26:58 PM »

You leap, catch onto a ledge and heave yourself up. It's limited as hell, but hard to overcome? It controls like any other dual stick game.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #22 on:** April 30, 2009, 04:45:36 PM »

you grab a ledge and the only way to climb any further is to jump again, sending you flying into the air. it's shitty because it's so limited and because you have so little control over where you move. Can't make any small jumps, only large leaps. I enjoyed running to a ledge then doing a god jump the first few times but then I wants to make a normal jump forward and no vertically. the kind of jump you see in infamous.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #23 on:** April 30, 2009, 04:50:27 PM »

tl;dr, crackdown was crap

infamous ftw

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #24 on:** April 30, 2009, 04:57:27 PM »

that wasn't an assesment as to why the game was crap, just the platforming aspect.
the fact that the platforming aspect is crap is just one part of the reason why the entire game is crap.

As said, I agree with that it is limited. But you mentioned having to overcome shitty controls, which I assumed meant that you had actual problems controlling the character or the jumps.

How does the platforming feel? Is it more Sly than Crackdown?

cool breeze · « **Reply #32 on:** May 07, 2009, 12:30:54 AM »

the demo was awesome. It's actually pretty long too, they let you play as neutral, totally evil and totally good.

only problems are the graphical issues like slight slowdown, pop in and aliasing.

Quote from: duckman2000 on May 07, 2009, 12:13:00 AM

It's like a mix. It is a bit automatic in that you stick to objects your going towards. You need to really use both the jump and drop button, so it is different than both of those games. It's fun.

and the combat is better than I expected. It's really about moving a lot and you can really fight from any position. One part you had to stop a truck, so I did that train track grind move to get a head of it, then jump from the tracks and tossed some of the grenades at it.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 07, 2009, 12:48:22 AM »

So judging by just about all impressions I've come across, the demo is real good. And they make it a pre-order exclusive. There is just no fucking way that whoever greenlights these pre-order deals has the first clue about how to best promote these games.

Yeah, which gives it a whole of 5 days on the market before the game releases. If the demo is really good, two weeks is a pretty big sacrifice in terms of word of mouth and hands-on experience.
