InFamous demo up on the PSN (PS3 Exclusive)

Good game - very slick. Not as good as Assassins Creed with the climbing and jumping mechanics imo - still good though.

Got the feeling it might become a little repetitive, depends what missions are like i guess and how much depth the characters and story has. I would also like the option to zoom into the action a bit more. (change the view). Didnt like getting critical sniper hits from enemies i can barely see and have no problem hitting me despite me jumping and dodging all over the place.

Graphics - very good better than Bionic Commando anyway. not sure if they are better than GTA IV (theres a certain style to GTAIV graphics). Experienced no slowdown with all the explosions going on.

i like that it doesnt overly handhold you. (as in big luminous colours around mission objects onscreen etc. Talking about how to start the train up)

Graphics are better than Bionic Commando? Oh dear. I didn't think much of inFAMOUS's graphics to be honest.

They look good on my 42" HDTV :) very crisp, colourful nicely done effects - although stuff in the distance has a hazy look to it bit like GTAIV


(not a patch on UFC's photorealistic gorgeousness though! - which has to be seen to be believed)

Yus, i think they've also deliberately put enemies on buildings next to bends in the train tracks. I say this because on a corner you can leap off and charge your 'bomb' attack and nearly always find an enemy to decimate at an incredible speed. Muchos amusement.

Thats because in Assassins Creed all you have to do is press up and he climbs up.

thats a crude way of putting it and somewhat misses the point i mean the animation and intuitive feel of how he moves and navigates the world inc buildings smooth transitions etc Its good but not on the same level as AC.

I don't know what it is but the demo has loads of jaggies like there is no AA, my TV will only run it at 720p is that the max res it has?
 
Quite enjoying the demo at the moment. But the graphics are a mess though. Severe Jaggies everywhere(defo needs AA), the level of detail pop in is very close too. :/ GTA4 and Assassins Creed have far more impressive visuals.

Is there a PC version coming btw?
 
There was me thinking UFC: Undisputed would be game of the summer for PS3, then I downloaded this demo. I have been following this game for a while now and the demo did not disappoint it's amazing, can't wait until the full game comes out where you can unlock more powers and do more missions etc etc. You can pull off some pretty insane combos, the best combo I have done is the one done during the 'Super Powers' trailer. Melee + Melee + Shockwave + Thunder Drop off a building, basically this translates to Cole hitting the guy with a right hand then backflip kicking him into the air, blowing him off the building with a shockwave then crushing him on the way down with a thunder drop.

It's great railing train tracks I'd imagine you can really get around the city fast in the full game doing this, also climbing and jumping from street light to street light is almost Spiderman like at times. So glad I preordered this.
 
I have to say the jaggies are really annoying, visually I was hoping for something better. Also, what's the point of having 1080p when games are coming out in 720p.
 
Not sure about this one :(... The story seems solid, but I can tell this is going to get boring after a few hours of play. The climbing is a little weird, and just seems like your bouncing off walls and warping to objects you can balance on, e.g. lamp post. The electric novelty got old towards the end of the demo. I felt like there was no point in re-charging half the time.
