A new system bundle, containing a silver-colored Playstation 3 as well as three Platinum Range titles, have been revealed by online retailer, Amazon France.
"Until Sucker Punch nailed down the final gameplay and character designs Cole at one point had dreadlocks and was called 'Gear Wolf'. The character also used to ride a trial like motorcycle to get through the city. The other concept for large area city movement was a disk shaped hoverboard. Interesting. Before Cole was finalized he used to wield guns which developed into lightning powers after many redesigns. Sucker Punch showed off some powers which did not make the game including 'Minion Pow..."
"Sony has updated the Playstation Network Store and revealed the first set of special offers for Playstation Plus subscribers on top of the regular additions for non-subscribers. The first PS Plus sales are from 50% off on select Midway classic arcade titles and slight discounts but free DLC from TikGames/Creat Studios."
Sucker Punch’s Matthias Lorenz and Billy Harper explain why they decided to change look and personality of Cole in the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive, inFamous 2.
"n 2009, Sucker Punch Productions released Infamous, a super-powered sandbox game that was a drastic departure from the studio's well-known Sly Cooper franchise. Venturing into new territory paid off for Sucker Punch; the PS3-exclusive Infamous has sold nearly 2 million copies, providing a combination of mobility and electrical powers that makes gamers feel like a true superhero. For Infamous 2, the team hopes to raise the bar even higher. A new look for hero Cole MacGrath is just the first st..."
Sucker Punch cofirms the sequel to the critically acclaimed open world superhero title in the Portugese Official Playstation Magazine. No release date yet.
There have been rumors floating around the 'net that a sequel to inFamous is already in the works.
Well, it looks like that rumor might be coming true. Sony recently registered the domain name for inFamous 2.
Four of the latest Greatest Hits games on the Playstation 3 are being bundled with a DualShock 3 controller in May and will be sold along with the peripheral for $59.80.
"As we reported yesterday, Sony is adding new games to the "Greatest Hits" collection. However, Sony has now confirmed that there are ten games getting added and not just the five that were showin in the Wal-Mart flyer. Expect to start seeing the fancy new red boxes and $29.99 prices at retailers in the next couple of weeks."
"Thrifty gamers who weren't willing to spend $60 on some of the biggest games from the last year and a half will get their wallets tempted as five new titles have been added to the Playstations 3's "Greatest Hits" line."

The skin pack lets you play as Nathane Hale or a Chimera from Resistance2, A Helghast or Sev from Killzone 2 and as Evil or Good Cole and Zeke from inFamous. The pack will be priced at $4.99.
"This years GOTY award for the Playstation 3 is named "Lowest Install Time" for two reasons. The first is that we are fans of irony, and the second is that Allegedly Speaking does not condone the handing out of compliments without some form of backhand attached to it. With that in mind, here are your nominees..."
"In an unsurprising turn of events, Sony Computer Entertainment has revealed that Sucker Punch Productions’ PlayStation 3 exclusive release, inFamous, has sold in excess of 1.2 million units worldwide, as of October 2009. Originally launched across Europe in May 2009, inFamous has been met with great success, and both a sequel and a motion-picture adaptation are currently in the works."
"In that which has become a bane of the videogames publishing community, the currently unannounced inFamous sequel has all but been confirmed. Voice actor David Sullivan appears to have taken it upon himself to reveal the inevitable inFamous 2, tweeting about his role in the game."
"Yet another popular videogame title is being considered for the big screen treatment, as today it was revealed that the rights to Sucker Punch’s PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive release inFAMOUS have been purchased by Sony Pictures."
It seems like this is the latest trend in video games. First Uncharted, then Dead Space and now inFamous. While inFamous was good and popular, but is it big enough to become a movie? Well Sony thinks so as they payed Sheldon Turner, the screen writer for X-Men Origins Wolverine a hefty sum to adapt it into a movie.
Hollywood must be really running out of ideas.
""Media Molecule is ensuring that fans get to choose between an evil and a good Sackboy, with their latest batch of DLC, for LittleBigPlanet.
inFamous is the latest game to be blended into the LittleBigPlanet universe. And, if you ask us, SackCole just looks adorable!""
You beat inFamous, you watched as Cole became a super hero, or a villain. Now what do you do? Why you read the comics of course! If you couldn't tell inFamous is supposed to be much like a superhero comic book (especially by the cut scenes) and sucker punch of released all the comics online. Follow the link to read all 4 issues.
TheGamerAccess.com has received word that one of the biggest electronic retail stores, Best Buy, will be selling inFAMOUS for a reduced price of $29.99 for a short period of time in Canada. Check it Out!
A rather bizarre collection of titles coming this May 24, mixed in with the blockbuster Infamous and a couple lesser known but great titles.
So, for the Wii and DS we have Rolling Stone: Drum King (??), Space Camp, the appearing generic but possible good Speed Zone, The Munchables, Personal Trainer: Walking (for those that haven't quite figured it out yet), and Puffins: Island Adventure -- hell yeah!
Damnation (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) is a title we highly recommend checking out -- described...
It seems that the online games retailer Shopto is now selling Infamous with he Uncharted 2 Beta code, plus it's being sold at a mere £32.95. So if your looking for a good retailer to get the game from look no further. Well for the United Kingdom at least.
I normally pre-order my games from this site and get them two days earlier from release. There is also a limited edition of Infamous on that site, feel free to check that out while you're there also.
This seems to have settled some worries for people. inFamnous lets you go back and forth between evil and good. For example if you decide to be a little more evil on a certain mission, you can go ahead and still go back to being good after a few good karma missions. Now you don't have to create two game saves one for being good and the other for evil.
Home was already announced to get a new feature called 'StageSet', but its getting a lot more then just that. The Playstation.Blog has a run down of a ton of new features for Home. And Siren fans will be very pleased with this news as well.
"As opposed to the Play.com exclusive Uncharted 2 Beta Access Code – suggested an external offering currently, rather than containing details within the package – gamers eager to get their hands on some extra inFamous action can now pre-order the Special Edition from independent UK videogame stockists. Included in the bundle is a set of limited edition postcards, as well as a comic book based on the game."
Anyone in the United Kingdom hoping Shopto would receive a beta code with their version think again. I just got a reply from the Shopto support team and they have confirmed to me that their version of Infamous does not have the beta code included with it. Check the image below for proof.
The only confirmed retailer to have the code in the United Kingdom is Play.com.
Infamous was scheduled for a May 26th release. However, if you look hard enough, you may be able to find the Playstation 3 exclusive title at retail right now as some stores has broken the street date.
"inFamous, one of Sony’s major 2009 PS3-exclusive releases, will arrive at UK retail on May 29th, MCV can confirm.
Developed by Sucker Punch, inFamous takes a similar approach to the free-roaming sandbox Grand Theft Auto mechanic as was seen in Realtime Worlds’ Crackdown – granting the player super-human abilities with which to fight to foes and traverse the game world."
Thus far it was simply a rumour, but today it has been confirmed. The 'big' news that was said to have been releasing today has been released on the US Playstation Blog, and a Multiplayer Mode has been confirmed for the game.
As for how it relates to inFamous... simple... the Beta for the Multiplayer Mode will be available through vouchers within inFamous boxes. Whilst it was originally thought of to be strictly for Best Buy, it seems that all games included within the first batch of inFa...
"The ever-elusive PR team at Sony has cobbled together a quick, 15-second video teasing an upcoming announcement that will arrive on Monday, April 27. We're not going to endlessly speculate what this 'electrifying' announcement will be, but it will obviously involve some crossover between inFamous and Uncharted 2. For now, check out the teaser, entitled ???, posted on Sony's official YouTube channel.

"The title pretty much says it all -- Infamous has gone gold. This means the game is done and the discs are getting pressed. Now, you just have to wait until May 25 to take Cole and all of his electricity-based superpowers out on the (ruined) town"
"Reserve inFamous and receive a code that unlocks the GameStop exclusive Gigawatt Blades Power. With electric blades extending from his wrists, a single blow annihilates any foe and transforms Cole's hands into instruments of sheer destruction. Yet still gentle enough to allow for the occasional tickling."
"Trash cans, water jugs and broken glass are just some of the instruments being used in the musical score of inFamous, the upcoming PS3-exclusive adventure. SCEA Music Manager Jonathan Mayer is using his experience with God of War II and Uncharted to overlook the game's distinct sound, one that "encapsulate[s] the gritty and decimated nature of Empire City." Not only are unconventional instruments being used, traditional orchestral instruments are being played in very non-traditional ways. "Bu..."
Developers Sucker Punch sure are trying to spur some interest in their upcoming game Infamous, and for me at least its working. Just today via Playstation Blog they have promised a demo for PSN, a worldwide release date of June and even shown us the boxart (which is pictured to the right). A new trailer and more info is promised next week.
"Sucker Punch Productions' upcoming PS3 game inFamous, starring a bike messenger who gains electrical superpowers, obviously draws upon comic books for inspiration. It seems the video game, in turn, might inspire a comic."
IGN managed to get a Q&A with Sucker Punch (Creators of the Sly Cooper series) about a game that they are developing called inFamous, a sandbox video game shooter coming out exclusively for the PS3. Sucker Punch answered questions about the story, what powers players will have during the game, and tons more!
Page 2 of the Q&A can be found here.
You might not be overly excited about Infamous the PS3 exclusive being developed by Sucker Punch (the creators of Sly Cooper) but you should be. The story starts when main character Dylan's home town is hit by a disaster and he discovers his powers. He then must choose between good and evil while developing his powers and fighting style along the way in the free roamable Empire City. Stealth and superpowers? Count me in
"Cover story is Infamous (Game looks *bleep*ing awesome)
- "Infamous begins with a serene, panoramic skyview view of EMpire City on the title screen, with the words "press start flashing". ..once you push start, a massive explosion rips through the heart of the city. Six city blocks are consumed by flame...in the center, a man named Dylan staggers to his feet."
- Dylan doesn't know how he got his powers and starts out apathetic. He then becomes invest in the city...or you can choose not to b..."
