[PS3] inFamous

quote:

No English dub on mainlaind EU-versions?

As most of you know, the demo's language auto-adapts to your PS3's system settings. Mildly annoying, but manageable because it was back to English after I switched the system settings. It's a totally messed up mechanic, but it's just a demo.

Now I'm reading stories of retail versions not even including the English dub in EU countries where English isn't the primary language. In other words - if you don't live in the UK you can't get English language settings.

If this is true, it would be a failure beyond belief, and I could use some confirmation from the Sucker Punch staff on this before the rumor spreads and all hell breaks loose on the internet.

There are in fact THREE builds covering traditional "Sony Europe" territories...

#1 = English, Portuguese, Russian
#2 = French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch
#3 = Polish

We had to do #3 because the OS doesn't yet support polish.

We split #1 and #2 at Sony's request.

I'd love information on this "failure beyond belief" point of view, for future projects at a minimum.

Thx,

But then you may also have had enough. There is more charm to inFamous than Cole's face and voice suggest, but basking in the glow of the end credits, there are also a lot of painful memories to recall; of too many missions that funnel you into shooting galleries, of difficulty spikes and enemy-spamming, and of staring at the upgrades page rather glumly, aware that for the most part you're only being invited to make things strike harder or across a broader range. But most of all, there is the realisation that by the end of the game you feel like more than a man, and the power is arresting, and yet for much of Cole's quest, you have been running out of ammo, hiding, and firing back with a popgun. The flaw is that inFamous overcomes Cole's lack of invention, but, damningly for a story about an electrical superhero, it never quite overcomes his lack of power.

Simply put, InFamous is the kind of game that when I'm not playing it, I'm constantly thinking about doing so. Heck, I already know what's going to happen right after I finish this sentence: I'm going to go back and play more as "superhero lightning cop" Cole.

inFamous might not be the triple-A exclusive we wanted it to be, but it's still a fine game and well worth adding to your PS3 collection. Had the first half of the game matched the far more entertaining later sections (where the super powers really come into their own) and the story been a bit more engaging throughout we'd be looking at one of the best open-world action games of all time. As we said, being a super hero isn't as easy as it sounds, but if Sucker Punch gets another chance it may well be able to create one of the very best.

Much of the fun comes from electrifying bad guys, experimenting with new attacks, climbing buildings with ease and making death-defying leaps. With three unique areas to explore and various enemies to squash, there's plenty to do. On the downside, we didn't care much for Cole's gruff demeanor and his over the top buddy, Zeke, nor do we like the occasional drop in performance when too much happens on screen. That said, the attractive graphic novel cut scenes, devastating electrical attacks, a moody soundtrack and a sprawling post apocalyptic metropolis make inFAMOUS a welcome addition to the PlayStation 3 library.

Ja ik heb het met een half oog gevolgd, maar zag overal 1 euro voorbij komen Mjah dan heb je zelf al een aardig idee of eurogamer het goed heeft en de rest op de hypetrain zit, of dat eurogamer zich wil onderscheiden.
