InFamous demo up on the PSN (PS3 Exclusive)

I tried to download it last night but it looked like the servers were down :(

I prefer to wait for the game's themselves to come out rather than playing a demo before hand on the ones that I know I'm going to get anyway
 
The whole point of this game is that you control a being with godlike powers so it'd be a bit strange if he needed a car to get about. He can move around the city far faster than any car by traversing rooftops etc. I very much like the 'freerunning' style of movement, i guess it would be a nice addition to jump in a car but tbh i wouldn't bother, it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun.
 
You could use your powers and make the car power boost or glide with it. Not just straight up drive the car. Its a missed opportunity.
 
i like it a lot but some of the sporning/identical enemy's are a bit dated. Was amazingly smooth though. The video's i had seen before had me anticipation a gta like frame rate.
 
This really is one of those games where it's made in how you play it. At first i was just running around shocking everything, got a bit bored and disappointed if i'm honest. Then i started to get creative with my powers for the fun of it, doing things like meleeing them into the air then using a force attack to send em flying. Now, this made the game really turn into something special, you can chain several attacks into some devastating combos. One of my favorites is to hit an enemy with one of those timed bombs, then use force to push his body into a crowd of enemies, instant crowd pleaser! The coolest one i've achieved is on top of a tall building, melee him into the air, force push him flying but instantly jump after him and charge your landing explosion attack, 9 times out of 10 you'll land right next to him and really give him a send off.

What i really like is the fact that it rewards you for these sorts of things! The more creative you are when you dispatch an enemy the more XP you get.

Can't wait for the full game.

Nor me! The more you mess around in the world the better it gets, i love getting on the train tracks and speeding across a level till i see some bad guys jumping off at speed hover over to them and thunder drop down on them! Theres a whole load of stunts like this you can do and it rewards you for doing it. The " force push" is quite fun with the blokes with rocket launchers though ha ha :D
Still need to track down exactly which stores will have it with the Uncharted 2 beta, in the US its all the first batch heard it was the same for EU but when i ask i normally get a dumb confused look from the shop assistants.

ill definitely have to give it another go, i was impressed but not overwhelmed but then i was playing it like shooter with a gun + grenades :p

i was very impressed by video you see at the end for the possibilities though, im guessing thats what you're doing now :)
 
Well form the demo alone this is my game of the year, love it, the feeling of empowerment you get from controlling Cole makes this game so much fun, diving off tall buildings and hitting the ground sending out an electrical shock-wave that sends everything around you flying in the air, love it, gliding along the power lines and jumping off at the end to propel you higher into the air and then thudding down to shock-wave the enemies on the roof, love it, back-flip kicking enemies in the air and then using your electric pulse attack to send them flying, love it.

The more you play this game the more crazy combinations you can find, every play through I'm finding new ways to tackle enemies and approach certain difficult situations/tasks, like taking out the truck in the last mission, at first I followed it down the road slowly working away at it with electrical grenades while taking out baddies along the way, second time I fragged all the baddies that first appeared and took out the truck with the lightening storm attack before it even got onto the main street, third time I climbed up the building next the alley and wait until the truck hit the main street and took it out with the lightening storm attack while standing on the edge of the roof (which looked ****ing awesome), and also for those that didn't know you can 'guide' the lightening bolt with the six-axis.
 
Lightning storm attack? I missed this, explain plz :p

Best demo i have ever played btw, not because its the best game ever or anything, just because it's a brilliant length and allows you to really see what the game has to offer.
 
Loving the demo, even with the limited amount of powers you are given you can have lots of fun and be very creative, the lightning storm power at the end is a little teaser from the developers I guess to show you just how powerful you can become, I spent ages as evil just lobbing grenades at cars and force pushing them into people, great fun :)

Repeatedly knocking down a civilian then reviving them kept me amused me for quite a while :p
