Will inFamous be infamous? |

It’s quality headlines like that one that you keep you coming back to TVGB time and again, right? Well fine, I don’t like your bad puns either…jerks. Let’s just talk about the new inFamous vids from CES and be done with it then. In the video above you can check out the variety of powers that Cole, inFamous’ hero, who has been blamed for the destruction of Empire City, can use. He throws electricity and has an electricity shield and can throw more electricity.
Well, maybe the below video will show off some of the open world gameplay and cool “urban exploring” they’ve been talking about. Oh, nope. We’re in a tunnel, and killing the same bad guys… with the same move… over and over. Hmmm, this is reminding me of a Dynasty Warriors game more than an awesome open world superhero game. They better get a trailer out with a bit more story (it’s actually really intriguing) and some more variety in it, or else we’ll have to start prophesying the next great PS3 exclusive disappointment.

I will play the part of the cynic and say the game does look incredibly boring. I predict Prototype to blow it out of the water.

Jup, it has to compete against Prototype, I think they’re coming out at the same time and a roughly from the same genre, sandbox superhero/villain games, I doubt people will buy two of those.
So carefully balancing between the houses, a little floating and like four electric based attacks vs. wall walking, giant leaps, being able to use zombies as a surf board and various ways to change your arms.. we know who will win. Looking at Activisions recent actions they’ll make sure that Prototype will be heavy advertised so it turns into a new franchise.
Did those guys do any research? When I think about electric powers, the first things that come to mind are Electro, The Shocker and Megavolt.. probably the lamest villains ever.
Guess on hard mode enemies will have Super Soakers, dual wielding water pistols and waterballoons as their default weapons.

Infamous is coming out a few month earlier, I think that will get it some sales. Probably from people who want something to keep them occupied before prototype.
The only area this game seems to beat prototype in is the graphics, much better.
But really, who cares about graphics if the game sucks?
