Gamespot: Infamous Updated Hands-on -- New Island, New Powers, New Enemies

Quote:

All told, the demo showed off a lot of promise, as well as the expected rough edges from a work in progress. The camera was a little troublesome in spots, the framerate dipped in some areas, and the amount of effects during some of the crazier combat segments, such as the tunnel battle, made it difficult to follow the action. Now, that all said, Infamous has a lot going for it. The game's open world feel and the sheer freedom of hopping around and climbing places is very cool. The different ways you can use Cole's abilities, and upgrade them--by collecting shards that are debris from the explosion you can absorb--is a nice touch. We also have to call out the stylish cinematic screens that move the story along. Sucker Punch's games have always had a cool, artistic flair to them and Infamous stays true to the spirit of the Sly Cooper comic panel motif, although clearly with a more hard-edge style. In fact, the layered, animated look of the cinematics has more life than some of the high production CG movies we've seen in other games. The visuals in the game continue their positive development towards a finished product with more polish being layered in. We especially like the distinct personality the city is taking on the more we see of the game. The outdoor park area and claustrophobic tunnels of the black water mission had a unique look to them that was different than the first areas we saw. The Warren district offered another take on the ruined city motif, with some subtle color palette tweaks and different architecture that was very effective. The look extended to the Dust Men and golems we encountered, which all had a disturbing patchwork feel to them. Based on what we played, Infamous looks to be coming along nicely. The game seems to be doing a fine job of balancing style and substance with impressive visuals, engaging gameplay, and a meaty story. While there's still the expected assortment of rough edges to the game, they're mostly overshadowed by the potential on display. The sense of freedom when you're going about your business, mixing up the use of your powers, interacting with the city, and the intriguing story are a compelling draw that should be worth keeping an eye out for. Infamous is slated to ship later this year for the PlayStation 3, look for more on the game in the coming months.
