According to Eurogamer, Sony has refuted allegations circling the Internet that inFamous may not be that long a game.
The rumour about the lack of playing time in Sucker Punch’s great looking game started after an interview published last week, in which Creative Director Nate Fox said, “It seems to me that it’s not about length, but about quality,” which the rumour-mongers took to mean that inFamous wouldn’t be that long a game.
But now in the words of Sony, “inFamous is still in development at Sucker Punch and the game’s length is still to be determined.”
Well, that’s cleared that up then, so it may still be short or long nobody knows, but at least Sucker Punch are focusing on quality, so hopefully when it debuts next spring it plays as good as it looks

hahaha, that was great.
but seriously, i cant wait for Infamous. the footage ive seen looks great and i look forward to the amount of quality they put in.

Game looks like its gonna be great imo. Personally a games length doesn’t matter too much to me as long its involving and action-packed. Look at Mirror’s Edge, short but sweet.

So this is basically Star Wars meets Gta?

sounds like a win win situation to me.

As long as it’s around 10+ hours thats fine for me if the quality is good. On a game life this anyway.
(Does anybody know if this game plans to have online play?)

nothing has been announced yet. an interview on eurogamer.net answers a few questions.

The game looks… well… great, but from the looks of things, im starting to worry about the length..
im sure the fine lads at Sucker Punch will figure something out… since EVERYONE reads this forum

Well, Its an open world game, so even if the story isn’t the lengthist thing of all time, then there are bound to be enough side missions to flesh out a lot.
Hopefully this means that each mission will be great and original and we wont have to descend into crap repetitive missions over and over again like most open world games have you do.
Id rather have a shorter story with loads of variety and other such things than have to do the same thing over and over. Open world games just don’t do anything for me. Even GTA struggled to hold my attention.
So I’m looking forward to the super power aspect of this! Its gonna be FUN!

For me GTA IV was pretty boring, drive over the other side of the island, kill some people, drive back again and kill some more people, then drive somewhere else and repeat ad infinitum
It’s saving grace was it’s amazing production values.
I think inFamous will look amazing as it being designed exclusively of for the PS3. The Good/Bad element to the whole game and everything within it means there is a choice every step of the way to everything you do.
And in the interview when asked “Apart from being good or evil, are there other ways to shape your character, such as customisation options, upgradable skills, etc.? And how may super powers will you be able to have?
Nate Fox: I can’t wait to tell you the answer to that… in a couple of months.
But I can say this: your Cole and my Cole are not the same.”
This bodes well for more powers providing different gameplay elements, and if the worst did come to the worst you can play through at least twice being all ‘good’ once and all bad ‘once’
I don’t care how big GTA is, it didn’t hold much more than a weeks play for me, but I have very high hopes for this

I kind of agree. GTA IV wasn’t as good as it should’ve been. I still enjoyed playing through, and I still enjoy driving over peeps while sitting drunk at home, laughing.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to Infamous, it looks like a good game, and something completley new for Sucker Punch.
It also gets me thinking of “Prototype”, but that’s another story.

I cant comment too much as I havent played alot of GTA4 yet but from what i saw it was what I expected really… a good game but not as good as GTA3 heh.
But yes Haze was shocking and still the biggest ps3 disappointment thus far
