3+ years, 60+ people, insane amounts of caffeinated beverages, and 70,000+ individual checkins of code, art, and media, and what do you get? A gold disc for inFAMOUS! We got the news late yesterday (just in time for the team to run off and tip a few back!) and I’m not sure it’s really sank in for me yet. But it’s official, and somewhere I hope they’re stamping out your copy of inFAMOUS right as you read this!
It’s a tradition here to bust out old builds and videos of the game and laugh at ourselves for how *crappy* the game was 2 years ago. It’s a strange combination of humiliation at how we ever showed those builds to people, appreciation to Sony for believing in us even when the game was so provably terrible, and sense of accomplishment at how far we were able to come, especially in the last 6-12 months. Plus it’s just plain hilarious to see some of our really BAD ideas on-screen.
But that’s the journey of making video games. We’re proud of what we accomplished getting to here, but the point of it all was to make something for you guys to enjoy — and we’re hopeful that you will drop us a note and let us know what you think after you’ve beaten the game! Enjoy the ride and thanks so much for all your support!
EDITOR’S NOTE: If you want to know what the last few weeks were like for Brian and the Sucker Punch team, look out for the Road To Gold dev diary releasing in May.
Awesome! I can’t wait for the dev video.
Brian, can you answer to what the projects final line count was?
Good luck guys. Sony 1st party rocks.
this game looks awesome but can we at least get a demo to enjoy it while we are waiting for it
sick game getting it 4 sure
Hooray! And congrats, this will be my #1 game next month! :D
Congratulations Sucker Punch. I can’t wait for the release! Day one buy for sure.
Looks great, too bad that I’m so backlogged I won’t get around to playing it until 2012 or something.
i have already pre ordered it and paid it in full, i really cant wait to play this game
i would like to know more. i have fallen out of open world game and im looking for a good one but different to gta.. i think gta has been done.. we need something different like alliens or something.
i have been hearing a bit about infamous but only like… oh infamous is comming out or infamous releasing early. i haven’t heard of stuff like.. what you actually do… i want a developer interview please. im still wondering weather this is a AAA title or just AA. theres so many good sony games coming out i only have enough cash for the AAA ones…and psn games
I’ll await the reviews :P
I will buy this game if the reviews are any good. Previews have been overwelmingly positive though, keep up the great work Sucker Punch!
Here is hoping for good reviews… I am really so short in cash..
I might just get this, hope there’s a demo
NO DEMO YET HUH!!!??? =P
Congratulations! Infamous in mine day one!
Day 1 purchase.
MARKET THESE GAMES SONY!
Don’t make the same mistake and start to market your games SONY! Killzone2 needs more marketing (worldwide only over 1mIllion copies after 2,5months?)! inFamous needs much more marketing!
…and bring inFamous to Europe in May too! one copy will be mine!
omg..i cannot freakin wait!!!!!
hopefully this will sell well. PS3 games never sell in the US.
As long as it is from Sucker Punch, it is bound to be good.
I cant wait till it comes out. i will be the firs one to by it
I want to see those awfull videos too! I hope the game will include a making of.
hmm.. have seen a lot of video from the game and read a lot of info and I still don’t really understand what the game is about? I hope it will do well.. the developers are a good company and I hope they already are working on a new Sly game for my son. It is his favorite game series.
I will be getting this game when it comes out.
Can we get to see some of the old videos/making of stuff as an unlock or something in the game?
ok i think i would buy it!, but i live in EUROPE!, so when it is going to be released in out here? in EUROPE!???
good devs!
cant w8 for this!
Can’t wait for this game, looks awesome!
can’t wait for the patch ! what ? isn’t this a tradition as well with this generation ?
I can’t wait to play this. Looks awesome.
Please make sure to get the word out on the street about this game.
Can’t wait to try it.
I’m super stoked for this games. My hats off to Sucker Punch for putting in the hours to get the release date moved up!
Awesome! Looking forward to it. Still have my fingers crossed for Sly 4 :-)
Well done SuckerPunch for making an awesome looking game!
and kudos for releasing it earlier! =]
you guys need a well deserve vacation!
oh and of course. . .we’ll be expecting some GREAT dlc from you guys!
Only until recently am i interested in this game which is a good thing.
Is a demo in the works?
Congrats to the guys at Sucker Punch…
Can’t wait for the game. Glad its coming out sooner than expected.
But here is hoping sony actually markets this game unlike Killzone 2. I have a co worker who hadnt even heard of killzone 2 until today. He doesnt go to gaming websites so if it wasnt for people like me he would never know about half the games sony releases.
I hope sony isnt actually paying someone a salary to handle its marketing.
Day 1
Sony, be thankful for all this awesome exclusives you guys get. now market them!!!! seriously, resistance2 suffered even lbp, valkyria chronicles, resistance psp, now this!!!? its coming out next month, show tons of advertisements!!!
Congrats guys!
Can’t wait!
The more I see this game, the more I want it!
Great work SP.
congrats! im buying this day one!
this is a day one by for me, looks fantastic guys you really did an awesome job. Even better it’s getting released sooner than expected so i can play it before heading to costa rica this summer! :)
good job guys! hope this is anohter awosome game from ps3 family! cant wait!
Day 1 purchase for me, Sucker Punch along with Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Team Ico are all tied as my favourite developers =)
We appreciate it Sucker Punch. Just out of curiosity, do you have any plans for a new Sly Cooper game? Me and many others love those games.
This game is gonna be pimp! Can’t wait to buy it!
yeah
I really want to see that old build! It’s not to laugh at you if that’s what you’re thinking… Really have to get this game.
