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.

We haven't heard much about inFamous since its debut trailer was shown at last year's E3, but all that is changing this week as Sucker Punch and Sony are planning on blowing the cover off of one of the PlayStation 3's biggest upcoming titles. We fired off a ton of questions to Nate Fox, game director over at Sucker Punch, to find out about the game. Here's what he had to tell us:

IGN: How does the game begin? What can you tell us about the story and Cole's history? Who exactly are you up against?

Nate Fox: The game begins as Empire City is rocked by a large explosion. Cole is a city messenger, who delivers a package to the epicenter just a few moments before the blast. Unlike others in the vicinity of the blast, Cole survives and escapes the collapsing city center. Why he survived, who's behind the blast, and what has changed within Cole, those are key plot points along the way to unraveling the story of inFamous.

IGN: What sorts of powers will players have access to through the game?

Nate Fox: Probably the best way to characterize it without being overly specific right now is to think in groups. There are pure offensive powers (smaller bolts, lightning strikes) which you can see in the videos. There are electro-kinetic powers (blasts and grenades) and there are heroic powers (shock-healings, arrests). There will of course be more than the list here, but I'm just trying to give you the basic groupings now.

      That's kind of lame. Did FFXIII Versus mean nothing?

    Nothing much new here, but still, nice bit of information to those that don't know much about this game....

    I really wonder if you'll be able to jump excessively high, or better yet, glide/fly using your powers....I hope so, by the end of the game (fly/glide would make for a good 'game clear' unlock I should say)....

      Yeah it would

      But, I'd like it even better if the powers progressed in a way that allowed you to do that before the end of the game, depending on how you use your powers if you went that route. Not something that everyone would have unlocked, but something you worked toward getting for yourself. Now THAT would be awesome.

    I don't know about getting flying abilities a bit through the game (Make things a bit easy), but yeah, it should definitely be unlocked at the end.

    This article isn't Archived? WTF? Most articles get archived at around 2 weeks or earlier I think?

      There are a few articles out there numbering in months of age, and they're still open. I don't know what's up with that either.
