Noo infamous bro don't trash the science center  :'( :'(

Haha, that was literally my reaction. It feels weird to play inFamous in a non-fictional city. I still wonder why they picked Seattle. I wonder if we can reach and trash Redmond and Bellevue, that would be hilarious.

To this day this still slays me.

[Mr. Gundam]

Sucker Punch probably chose Seattle because:

1. They're from here.
2. Seattle is iconic and just plain awesome.
3. The Eastside is bland as fuck.

[pilonv1]

I liked the first one, but got bored of the second one because the characters were still annoying and there wasn't much new.

This looked like the best PS4 game I saw today, mostly 60fps with a lot of destruction and nice effects. The 1 on 1 combat still looked dopey but getting around the environment and using the powers to take them down was really cool.

[nudemacusers]

I wonder if the toe truck is in there

[maxy]

Yup. There is no diff than now.

SCEA is also stopping their online passes.

I wonder why...

I know you would just LOVE for it to be due to DRM like your beloved Xbox, but it's because of the PS Plus requirement for online play:

To keep things fair they're removing the option for online passes. That goes for first and third party software.

Expert for bloody obvious things,number 2.

When they announced the game at the PS4 unveiling, this dude was out there talking about how he got pepper sprayed at a protest, and it made him wonder what if superheroes were real. He was extra-serious about it, too

[Eel O'Brian]

[Shaka Khan]

Good thing he wasn't beat up, which have turned him into a bio-terrorist himself.

SMH white people.

From the PS4 unveiling last month. When they first announced the game.

I'm always surprised people liked the 1st Infamous. I thought it was pretty awful. It looked horrendous and didn't run that well. The story and character were completely uninteresting. It had those boring and repetitive tunnel puzzle things. Had enemies seemingly pop out of nowhere and just being annoying spam tards.

The 2nd one though....pretty amazing. I'm surprised people never talk more about the graphics for the 2nd one. It's a pretty great looking game. While I was annoyed they didn't stick with the original redesign, I do feel like Cole was a bit more tolerable. Game had none of the annoyances of the first 1, plus melee. It was a pretty great game honestly.

Hopefully the new one is good.

[Himu]

Infamous looked TERRIBLE on my HDTV. Thought I was the only one.

[nudemacusers]

I remember downloading the infamous demo

http://www.edge-online.com/news/e3-2013-drm-free-ps4-is-a-pr-play-expect-similar-policies-across-both-consoles-say-sources/

Several development sources have told us that they expect game publishers to implement similar DRM policies across Xbox One and PS4, despite what has unfolded at E3 this week.

Our contacts described Sony’s conference announcements as a PR play, and revealed that its decision to go DRM-free was made at the very last minute.

Each platform holder’s DRM policy has changed continually over the last few months, they said, though Microsoft’s initial stance was much tougher than its position today. This suggests that the platform holder’s decision to let publishers decide for themselves whether to implement DRM on Xbox One was not part of the original plan.

So Edge is now FUD?
They were among the first ones that wrote about  mandatory Xbone online drm.

btw,only payed shills use the word FUD

[Rufus]

One of the best things about being a white male is not giving a shit about diversity in videogame characters.

I'm happy when there's a German that isn't a Nazi.
Can't think of anyone besides Sam from FC3. In recent memory, anyway.

[Shaka Khan]

Yoshida and another rep followed up with Tretton's gaffe that pubs' option to pursue DRM will only restrict online portions a la online passes, on other words the status quo. Sony first parties are dropping the passes, EA came on record after both conferences reiterating their online pass program is not making a comeback (brace yourselves for the replacement), Acti never used such a program and stated they have no interest to start doing so, etc etc. It's time to stop being so mad maxy, your employers fucked up, deal with it.

[Shaka Khan]

Patrick Klepek talks with Scott Rohde and they talk DRM for 30 minutes.

Online passes by third parties? Not allowed; Consumers already are paying for online.

You still mad bro?

[archie4208]

Apparently F2P games requiring plus will be decided on a game by game basis which is...weird.  Sony should just make exceptions for those games.

[Huff]

They probably will.

If not maybe enough tweets will change their minds

[maxy]

I'm not mad  ,I don't even plan to get anything for at least 2-3 years...to see what is left when the dust settles

As I said,I never payed a single cent for Live...had gold for a while thanks to Demi 
Those fuckers are not going to make me re-license my games on a daily basis(not taking about the bone,but the future).

Will get a nice GPU for my PC and shill for a PC version of every game...no excuses now,consoles are X86/DX11,copy-paste job

Trusting a multi billion dollar corp. is a dangerous thing,just saying.But in the end gamers deserve all this

Pubs will be probably getting money from online subscription.

So basically maxy has been trolling us all the time.

It was a social experiment and you all failed.

[MCD]

maxy, just quit gaming with me.

Xbros self destruct.

[Shaka Khan]

The thing is, no amount of flip-flopping will make their policies worse than the Xbone. The Xbone will forever be stuck with a pricier system, a weaker system, and a shittier rights' system.

[mjemirzian]

Sony first party games are worth the $399 admission price imo.

ps4 is just delaying the inevitable

they embraced pay for online, they will embrace digital only future

you read it here first

Trolling is fun.

infamous is dope, the first one takes a steamer on the second. they totally screwed the pooch on it.

Not to mention console exclusive games. Might not be as many this time around though.

Um. Uncharted 2 is better than any MS exclusive but okay.

it's true, a tepid dragon's lair rip off is better than something which barely exists.

this post is going over my head. what?

[Smooth Groove]

U2 is great but Gears of War and Halo are better series overall than Uncharted

I didn't say anything about MS. I never did and never will think that their first party games alone are worth the price of admission.

Sony's first party was overrated this whole gen and I guess that you and mj at least will continue to overrate it next gen.

[mjemirzian]

If it was just Sony's first party I wouldn't be as interested. But there will be some console exclusive games that also make it worth it. Otherwise I'd just stick with my PC.

Revengeance coming to PC might be a sign console exclusives are diminishing next gen.

Long story short, they're going to expire. A buck or two multiplied by X million members = scrilla for Drinky

[nudemacusers]

this is more painful than when apple went intel

[demi]

I believe it only expires if you have them stil in your account. Cards that haven't been redeemed, or are redeemed in the future will be forever.

The PS logo fades in just like the Sony logo does on their TVs.

[cool breeze]

and the Playstation 4 has an internal PSU (no power brick).  What you don't see is that the PS4 is more square than rectangle and goes further back.

It has about the same footprint as the 2009 PS3 Slim.

this is a sorta cheesy ad but it does a decent job of showing the streamlined functionality.

[Smooth Groove]

Why is Xbone so much bigger?

Did MS cheap out on hardware design too?

I thought they hired the same people as Sony for hardware

[mjemirzian]

Maybe I'm just caught up by the hype a little too much. I'm sure I'll come back down to reality soon.

[nudemacusers]

you're asking if the people who brought you the rrod box went with cheap hardware?

I miss the sidewinder years

They were going for 1990 Laserdisc chic.
