Anyone know where you have to preorder Infamous to get the demo on May 7th. When I call Gamestop about it (I hate gamestop but I want the gigablades power they're giving out with preorder) they give me some rigamarole about coming in an preordering when they don't even have the demo codes.

I saw someone mention Best Buy but they didn't say if they got a code or not or just a promise. Gamestop seems to be big on the promises, short on the results for this release. Amazon is cheaper but all they have is a Home costume (Like I care.) So anybody have any ideas on this?

Also...does Gamestop have any way of forcing you to return your preorder bonus if you return the game?

Thanks guys,

Game Crazy is offering the demo, got this in an e-mail from the PSN.

Screw gamecrazy.

They gladly took my pre-order money for a PS3 then got a whopping 0 on d-day.

No way they couldn't have known that to be the case and shame on them for keeping it hush hush from their customers.

Damn, that's harsh. Well there's no game crazy here in NL anyway.

Nice pic! http://www.*****************/trafficreport/img/3721/k09f0423lglc/b.gif

It is!

Best Buy has the demo codes.

I'm not a huge fan of limiting demo access to people who have already preordered. Seems to defeat the purpose of a demo.

Luckily I was smart and had one at a different store also. Still, that was bad business from them.

I agree unless it is done the way they are doing it. The demo for preorders will go live May 7th. The demo for everyone else will go live May 22nd I believe. They did it similar for Killzone 2.

Who cares??? This game is gonna suck a$$

That's debatable. I have no idea how this game will play, I know I'm eager to play it. For one to say that it's going to suck even before it comes out is really disturbing.

Then again, it's only your opinion and we all know the saying about "opinions"

Who cares??? This game is gonna suck a$$
Prototype FTMFW



You've played it?

I'll throw my opinion into this easily. Prototype looks like a generic beat-em-up aimed towards kids.

This guy obviously has chosen his side in the console war :P. Obviously the games have almost the exact same style, so it will come down to the details of gameplay and storyline. To tell you the truth I want to like Infamous better (I've chosen my side too) but Prototype looks a bit better. Plus the storyline reminds me of a modern Planescape: Torment. I'm sure they'll both be very good games.

If that's the case, that's not too bad. I understand the business reasons behind the early demo being reserved for preorders, but it is still counterintuitive.

From what I've seen and read, here's the core difference:

inFamous = Crackdown-style open-world superhero action-platformer
Prototype = Spiderman 2-style open-world superhero action beat-em-up

They could easily both be good, if not great. Even if they look similar on the surface, they both look like they play totally differently.

Plus the storyline reminds me of a modern Planescape: Torment.I wouldn't hold your breath. It will be a long time before we see a game with that high caliber of writing again. :(

Agreed, I expect them both to be very good. You're right, the writing in Prototype has a near 0 chance of being on the level of Planescape: Torment. I gotta pick that game up again someday. I still haven't got all the way through. Its a great game, but really overwelming.

But, yeah, I definitely want to play through that one again. Used disc copies of Planescape go for ~$60, and prices keep going up each year on that one. Real collectible. I spotted it in a GS bin a few years back for $20, took it up to the counter, and they "couldn't find" the discs. Bastards. Never forgave them for that.

Shoulda jumped over the counter and said "LET ME TAKE A LOOK!" lol, what a bunch of jerks. I don't think I spent 60 for it...but I did buy it a good 5 or 6 years ago...

Thanks guys,

Rumors are going around that someone received a demo code from Gamestop. Every GS i've called have only the gigawhatchamacalitblades codes.

Best Buy and Gamecrazy are the only locations confirmed to be giving the demo codes. The two Gamecrazys in my area have not received their demo vouchers yet but expect them by the 7th. I'm checking with Best Buy on the way to work today. I'll post what I find out.

And to the Prototype drone hating on inFamous: Hmm Radical Entertainment vs. Sucker Punch? I'll go with Sucker Punch. Any developer that uses the word "pwn" in their description of the protagonist, fails.

Thanks for the info, Cysquatch. Does anyone know how much you have to put down at Best Buy to preorder? Can I grab the demo and cancel the preorder when it comes out? Cause I want the demo, but I NEED the gigawhatchamacalitblades.

i think a demo will not do this game justice. i'm just going to wait for the retail which i'll be getting a couple of days early:p

Confirmed. Bestbuy has the preorder boxes. You pickup up the box, shake it, and you'll feeling the demo voucher rattlin' inside. Cost: $5.00 +tax.

I have a $25 GS gift card (thanks e-rewards for the 4th time) so I'll probably cancel the BB preorder and get the GS gigablades.

My wife pre-ordered inFamous and CoD:MW2 today.

Inside the inFamous box is the voucher for the demo.

Console war? I'm a die hard PlayStation fanboy. I have a 360 here that hasn't been turned on since Gears of War 2. My OPINION, is just that Infamous looks really cheesy especially compared to Prototype. Everything that I've seen from Prototype looks good ... the different attacks, the taking over of bodies, framing people, gliding, it looks all good. But anyway, we'll see later today how Infamous plays.

no need to preorder. The demo is up on the HK store. And yes, its in english.

Why can I not find it on the HK store!!?

It looks and plays well. An excellent (and very long) demo. You get a taste of good guy and bad guy over 4 missions. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised on how well it does play (from restraining, melee, sniping, to bringing down full-on lightning bolts. Not to mention effortless platforming/freerunning). I'm sold.

I read that Sony pulled it off the HK store... I am always a minute too late on these things :(.

Why can I not find it on the HK store!!?

On the front page of the store, look to the right and the top of the list is "inFamous Demo"

EDIT: It looks like Sony indeed pulled it off the HK store. Grats to those that grabbed it while it was up. For those that didn't get it, its worth pre ordering just to experience it IMO.

Wonder if they 'leaked' it on purpose. Certainly going to keep people talking.

Problem is I did preorder it... my copy is fully paid off already... but I am not getting a voucher for the demo sadly :(.

From the 5 mins that I played it, I'm loving it already. Will give it a full test drive tomorrow.

Graphics are stellar!

As a big fan of the Sly series, I'm pretty excited about this game. Willing to be disappointed, but excited :). Saw that the demo was available last night (using my BB pre-order code) and downloaded it, but now I have to wait until I get home from work to try it! :(

and piss off gamecrazy and BB at the same time. ;)

this game is sick. and the graphics are way better in-game than they are in the trailers.

it's pretty much a comicbook come to life!

Downloading now. Scored a generous account share from someone who got the HK demo while it was up last night. I'll give it a go soon (at 85% atm).

Would this kind person be willing to share their HK account with me? I'm already getting this game, but I wasn't able to preorder it since I have a $60 gift card to Target.

This particular kind soul's inbox maxed out a few hours ago. I couldn't even send him a thank you PM!

This was a real jerk off move on Sony and Sucker Punch's part. It has me seriously considering putting off playing this game until I can get it used at Gamestop as a way of voicing my displeasure in this crap.

You get to play the demo. You don't. You do. You don't.

WTF.

I bought a Playstation 3. I supported Sony when everyone else was buying Xbox 360s and saying the PS3 was worthless. I was planning to buy the game one day one. But now I feel like I'm being treated like a second class citizen by people who want my business. And that just pisses me off.

If I do end up buying this new its gonna be because there's nothing else available that I want to play right now. I'm almost finished with Ico and I was thinking about playing Mega Man 9 but I don't think that'll last me until used copies of this start showing up.

It's no different from most "beta" nonsense. Little Big Planet and Fat Princess being the biggest examples. Yes, it's obnoxious. Yes, it drives everyone crazy. But it definitely stirs up interest in key titles. No one's actually being "deprived" of anything, and yet we all feel like we're missing something nonetheless. Brilliant marketing.

You know... the demo is coming for everybody, I think May 21st. This was just an incentive to pre-order.

Yeah, I know there's a demo available May 21st. It better be something freaking amazing to convince me to still hand over my hard earned money to those jerk offs after they made me wait an extra 2 weeks over their idiotic marketing schemes.

The treated the people who are playing the demo now like consumers should be treated. If Wendy's told me I could have my hamburger in a half hour and then started serving other people in line I'd go to McDonalds to eat.

Exactly they are a corporation. Which means they care about MONEY. If pre-orders gets them the money that's what they will do. They aren't going to bow down to the average consumer in hopes of winning your heart. They will always try to do what they think is best for their business.

Have a nice day.

That is a terrible analogy. If people were in front of you at Wendy's you shouldn't be served right now ;).

No soup for you! Come back 1 YEAR!

Naaa just come back in a couple months when the soup Nazi wont get paid for the sale :D

Whoo hoo! The demo is a blast (pun intended :D)! I was hoping Sucker Punch would use some Sly-like mechanics, and indeed they have: ability to climb up nearly anything, floating down from heights, etc. Hopefully the objectives won't get too repetitive, but I'm optimistically looking forward to the full game.

I'd prefer if they just made the demo available to everyone as well, but if you want early access you have to play their game. If you want to "stick it to em" pre-order, get the demo, cancel your pre-order, buy it used or rent it ;) Of course then there is the matter of the Uncharted 2 beta...

Or just wait until the 21st.

Dude, just go to Best Buy pay your $5 plus tax. Go home, take the code out of the box and enter it. When you have time, head back to Best Buy and cancel your pre-order and get your $5 and change back. Quit the complaining and just let me know more info about the demo instead of the pre-order complaining!!!!

I would. For some reason the Best Buy near my house doesn't have Infamous preorders. So they pull this stupid scheme and then don't distribute the codes everywhere. Idiots.

All BB's should have them. I actually almost walked out of one thinking the same thing until I found them on an endcap near the 360 section. No where near the PS3 sections. LOL. Gamecrazy has them too if you have a Hollywood Video/Gamecrazy nearby.

I agree with RJ, this "demo for preorder" stuff is really stupid. If the game's good get it out to as many people as possible. Thats how Dead Rising, Crackdown, etc. got some steam. For some reason though this appears to be how Sony's doing business this gen.

Thanks for the heads up, maybe I'll take a look. Talked to some guy on the phone but if he wasn't from the video game department he might not have known where to look. I'll do a couple laps around the store after work today.

At least somebody does. I know I'm a bit over the top at times but I just hate to see people getting screwed for no reason like this. Sony should be bending over backwords to make its customers happy this gen, consider how far behind they are. Instead we get this crap.

BTW, number1laing, I sent you a friend invite on PSN concerning Demon's Souls a few weeks ago. I see you have it now. My friend who I lent the game to is going out of town until Sunday, so I can borrow it from him tonight and hook you up with some equipment if you want. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I thought you couldn't join people's specific games in DS?

The game will sell demo or no demo. #1. It's good. #2. Uncharted 2 Beta

Although I don't agree with the tactics, I play along to get the demo. If i'm going to shell out $60 bones anyway for this game, I might as well preorder from the outlet giving the demo 2 weeks early. Here's my "stick it to the man" plan:

Cancel BB preorder. Use same 5 bones to preorder @ Gamestop to get the exclusive in-game power. Move inFamous to the top of my Gamefly queue. Cancel GS preorder. Wait 1 or 2 days after release for the rental to arrive. Pay the "keep it price" of $47 bones. GG.

The only problem is my willpower. Can I wait 1-2 days for gamefly to save 15 bucks?

Sorry I don't just bow to my corporate masters like some people.Uh, you know that Sony, MS, Nintendo, and all the pubs are all "corporate masters," right? You're not "sticking it to the man" by getting a demo early. :rolleyes:

I know I'm a bit over the top at times but I just hate to see people getting screwed for no reason like this.I have a hard time seeing how this is anyting like "getting screwed for no reason." That's like saying MS is "screwing" silver membership folks by not letting them get access to demos until the following week. Or like saying that Sony is "screwing" over people who don't subscribe to Qore for not letting them get access to certain betas and early demos. Seriously. It's not a big deal.

You're already "playing the corporate game" by playing video games in the first place. There's no way to escape it or to subvert it. Either you play their game or you don't play at all. Simple.

Either you [pay to] play their game or you don't play at all. Simple.You had it almost perfect. Perks always come to those who pay. It simple, they want you to keep paying.

Exactly they are a corporation. Which means they care about MONEY. If pre-orders gets them the money that's what they will do. They aren't going to bow down to the average consumer in hopes of winning your heart. They will always try to do what they think is best for their business.

Have a nice day.

WELL, kinda true. Stores are already receiving X number of copies on launch. Those will be sold even if only half of them are preordered.....So its not like preording is making them more money in a sense. They are just trying to make people commit to buy before they play, which I never would do with any game.

So this demo is an enticement for people to again force the issue of preorder. Its totally a great marketing tactic and is a great incentive to pre-order thats all....

wow.. it seems people will look for any excuse to play the victim. I honestly see nothing wrong with pre-order incentives. After all if you're going to commit to buy something you should get more coincideration then the guy who waits till 2 weeks after it's out.

I preordered at gs and I don't care if I don't get early access to the demo because it doesn't take 2 weeks for me to form an opinion on a friggin demo!!

Well kinda true. In inFamous' case, the preorder tactics are for one reason: to lure buyers into a specific chain of stores. If you want the demo early, BB and Gamecrazy will be taking your money. If you want a super duper in-game power, GS gets the money. I hate Best Buy but my ass was in there for this. And as long as they are getting people in the door, this preorder "bait" is working.

Sony only cares if the game sells. Doesn't matter where. My guess on why they pulled the demo off the HK store was to appease Best Buy and Gamecrazy. Who would have preordered at BB or GC if it was available on the PSN store? Not many I would guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if this surpassed KZ2 in sales with all the preorder hype and uncharted 2 beta "carrot". Now only if Sony would put that Super Powers trailer on primetime tv.

They are just trying to make people commit to buy before they play, which I never would do with any game.Well, actually, not true. Pre-orders have a very specific purpose. Games (much like movies) sell best in the first few weeks of release. Doing pre-orders helps beef up those initial sales. Worse, pre-order sales are often used to determine how well a game will sell over its entire lifetime. So if a game doesn't do well in pre-sales, it won't get stocked in the future, it won't be seen by customers after those first few weeks, and it's doomed to sales oblivion.

There are exceptions (like Valkyria Chronicles), but those are few and far between. The situation's getting worse, which is why the pre-order gimmicks are getting more intense. Now places like Walmart are keeping stock for even shorter periods of time (2 weeks), so if a game doesn't sell well immediately, then its chances are even worse. Which, in turn, makes pre-order sales even more important. And so on. It's becoming a nasty cycle for developers and consumers. Factor in rising development costs and the recession, and you've got an unsustainably escalating situation. :rolleyes:

...and this is why so many developers and consumers are loving the downloadable arena. Avoids that ******** altogether.

Buy the game used at Gamestop. Beat it in under 7 days. Return it. Payed the game without playing the corporate game. Epic Victory!

I wouldn't be surprised if this surpassed KZ2 in sales with all the preorder hype and uncharted 2 beta "carrot". Now only if Sony would put that Super Powers trailer on primetime tv.

I was actually thinking if based on pre-orders Sony could estimate sales and decide whether it's worth it to have a commercial.

It makes a lot of sense, since inFAMOUS can't have a sequel based on the ending. The guys on the IGN podcast were asked a question if inFamous could have DLC and one of them hinted that it wouldn't go with Cole's story.

Well that probably does not matter. In Fallout you die at the end but the story still went on. No reason they can't be clever about it.

Nvm.

Pop up some spoiler tags on that bad boy for those of us who havent played yet :p

Spoiler tags for Fallout 1? Seriously?

Spoiler tags for Fallout 1? Seriously?I guess he's just paranoid. Just to make sure we're all on the same page, Fallout 3 actually ends like this:
Good save, Tez. I almost fell for it and I've played through both Fallout 1 and 3. Fallout 3 isn't that old, so let's keep using the ol' spoiler tags for the ending, eh Cynn? ;)

Finally got my hands on the demo. Freaking awesome game.

My mistake! I thought he was referring to fallout 3.

The game needs to have BETTER AA in the final copy, that is the only thing that bothered me also the framerate needs to be a bit better during chaotic times.

I don't care reduce the effects if you have to because I rather have a smooth playing game with good AA, then a game having framerate issues and looking like its trying to do too much.


oh btw, I think that activision game looks to be a more mature/gory version
of the same exact game(or looks like it), if you get this game you have to get that game.

So those of us that preordered at amazon don't get access to the demo?

I get a lower base price, no tax, and free release date delivery with my Prime account...yet I have to go to gamestop to play early? Ghey.

Buy the game used at Gamestop. Beat it in under 7 days. Return it. Payed the game without playing the corporate game. Epic Victory!http://www.******************/storage/397.jpg

Nice one! :D

Except for the part where almost every aspect of Prototype looks half-assed and inFamous is from Sucker Punch, who we know pours their heart into every title they make. I'll take my chances with the game by the good developer.

Oh Gslide... you're a funny person. Thanks for making me smile with your posts.

Got my pre-order from Best Buy, love the demo. If you liked Crackdown and Assassin's Creed you should love it. Very open world, nice level of detail, tons of ambient stuff going on.

Climbing feels a lot like Crackdown but the combat is far more engaging once you dig in. The XP and unlock system seems interesting, and the karma system should be a challenge as trying to be good is tough since civilians tend to stand slack jawed while you lob lightning bolts and shock grenades, hitting them and steering you toward evil. I got better at this with more play, but if you want to go fast you are likely going evil.

I'm glad I got a look at it, great game. Stop crying about pre-orders and just go get it.

Well you still get the game demo befoe the game comes out. The demo will be out on the 21st.

I hope that I can also afford that game demo.

WTF is that supposed to mean?

The Prototype video that was released last week looks really cool. But Activision games tend to lower in price pretty fast. You should see the game for $40 one month after release. So get inFamous and enjoy it and then get Prototype one and half month later. :)

False dichotomy. Radical doesn't have to be half-assed for Sucker Punch to be great. Radical has produced plenty of merely average games, it's true...but they've also produced "Simpsons: Hit and Run" and "Hulk: Ultimate Destruction", both of which were great examples of the sandbox genre. Prototype was always presented as being an evolution of the gameplay from "Hulk:UD".

They are two different games with two entirely different focuses. They have a lot of similarities, but it's like arguing that CoD has to be terrible because Killzone is good. Both being good aren't mutually exclusive. I'm more interested in Infamous, personally, but that doesn't mean I expect Prototype to be epic fail.

Prototype's going to have to something special for me to take notice at this point. Each new preview video released has given me fewer reasons to pay attention. So far, the videos make it look like exactly what you describe: a licensed title without a license. And, yes, that's an opinion entirely independent of my thoughts on inFamous. ;)
