inFamous is an upcoming sandbox-style video game for the Sony PlayStation 3. It is currently in development by Sucker Punch Productions, creators of Rocket: Robot on Wheels, and the Sly Cooper video game franchise. The game was announced at Sony's E3 2007 Press Conference on July 11, 2007. The debut trailer indicated that the game would be released sometime in 2008, although the July 2008 issue of Game Informer has stated that the release date has been moved to Spring 2009. It will be the company's first original IP since Sly Cooper.

The game is a third-person sandbox world that combines elements of the superhero MMO City of Heroes with a roaming open-world, allowing the player to make choices between being a hero or an anti-hero that will affect the game. The player will also have access to electrical powers. The player will obtain them right at the beginning of the game.

According to the Game Informer preview, inFamous follows the story of Cole, a resident of a fictional Empire City. At the start of the game, an explosion rips apart six city blocks, leaving behind a crater and Cole as the only survivor. The explosion has granted Cole several electricity-based powers, but he falls into unconsciousness, waking up two weeks later to find that Empire City has fallen into chaos; without police, gangs have taken over areas of the city, and a plague has infected many of the residents causing the city to be quarantined by the government. It is revealed by "The Voice of Survival", a surviving disk jockey that broadcasts across the city, that Cole was the cause of the explosion, and thus sets the population of Empire City against him. Cole must come to terms with his powers, and opt to help those in need or simply survive on his own, facing off against larger threats that have manifested in the city due to the explosion and its aftermath.

According to Fox, the team wanted to have Cole as a "kind of an everyman", such that they could then "get into the headspace of what it would be like to be a real human being who has been granted these exceptional abilities". While Cole is the main playable character, he is joined by two friends; Zeke, a conspiracy theorist and survivalist who becomes jealous of Cole's powers, and Trish, Cole's ex-girlfriend and medical student who resents him but still helps in treating the injured, a "Lois Lane with syringes" as stated by Sucker Punch.

inFamous is a sandbox video game. The player controls Cole and his newly acquired electrical powers as he makes his way around Empire City. Ultimately, the player will need to defeat three major forces that have each taken over one section of Empire City.

Cole's primary means of interaction is through the electricity-based powers. These include shooting electricity from his hands to nearby targets, creating an electricity-based shield to repel foes, and create a delayed explosion of a ball of energy much like sticky grenades. The electrical powers can be used both against living targets as well as inanimate objects; Game Informer describes one such situation where the player could opt to take out armed guards with electricity directly, or instead use the power on electrical generators to cause them to explode, damaging the guards in that fashion. However these powers also have considerable disadvantages and limitations: for example, Cole cannot use guns as the electricity would cause the ammunition to explode. Also, Cole can only manipulate electricity, not generate it: meaning, for instance, that Cole's powers are severely limited in areas suffering from blackouts (which are in considerable number, since the city is recovering from a disaster).

Cole is also described as an urban explorer, and the player will be able to jump and climb buildings in order to move about the city, although these are not enhanced by any super-human ability.

  • prototype sucks

  • prototype was better than that

  • Yes prototype is better, but i have a brand new pc, and though, its loading game so slow, ive waited about 3 hours for it to load, then my patience fagged. so infamus is my only way to play a game like that

  • twin of Prototype or what?

  • Prototype is not that good.... Sure the violence and the great combos improve the game but it´s not perfect... It needed improvement on gameplay and story.... The graphics could look more realistic...

  • This game is truly pretty nice. Suckerpunch did well. Despite what some may say, this game is not that repetitive. There are quite a number of side-missions, each with varying objectives and locations to travel in. I don't think him only being able to use electricity is a bad thing. He can use it in a variety of ways and it's not overwhelming at all.

    Just give this game a try, you won't be disappointed. Just watch out for some bugs, since this is an open world game.

  • looks stupid and lame,dont buy this w8 for prototype,even how hard it gets to w8

  • oh, it is.. and one problem with inFAMOUS.. he is strictly restricted to electric powers, of such powers, is a bolt of electricity, main attack, a kind of star wars force push... and a electricity grenade.. u want a game? PROTOTYPE. just, just prototype. nuff said man,

  • I think i seen this on xplay.... :P

  • this game looks really repetitive
