Not sure what game they played but this isn't the game I have been playing.

This review is all over the place with random tangents from other games. Really poorly written review

SilentNegotiator5458d ago

This article does an excellent job at summing it up Edge when it comes to reviewing games by platform:

yup.. the only good thing is they're consistent.

EDGE... you are not even trying

"MacGrath isn’t like Alex Mercer, star of the vastly superior Prototype."
wtf?!?

schlanz5457d ago

Edge and Jim Sterling must be in cahoots. Always trollin' N4G.

callahan095457d ago

What's most sad is that they keep talking about fanboys in the review. What kind of professionalism does that show? I mean, they insinuate that only ps3 fanboys would like this game. What a ridiculous notion. They go on this rampage about Prototype and Crackdown 2 being better like it is the indisputable truth and only ps3 fanboys would disagree. They are completely delusional and absolutely ARROGANT. They are borderline insane, they have a messianic complex. The way they treat this is like if 9 out of 10 people said chocolate cake is better than fecal matter, but there is this one guy that just insists the shit is better and even goes so far as to say all those other people, EVERONE BUT ME is just a stupid chocolate fanboy, but I know the truth!!!! Right? They are crazy unprofessional.

Edge

Given the choice, what would the majority of Infamous fans prefer? A polished action game which keeps its cool under pressure? (Infamous 2 does not, its camera going haywire in certain circumstances, its framerate dropping, its smoke effects suffering the same violent defects as Gran Turismo 5’s, and its tactics going to pot.) A campaign which doesn’t go to pieces, and one that’s not full of bosses that should have been killed at birth? Fewer bugs, such as the ones that – in our review code at least – led to two game-breaking glitches (one pathfinding, the other clipping) and two repeat trips through missions and unskippable cutscenes? Co-op? That’s a popular one.

SephirothX215457d ago

Edge didn't play the game at all. They're just making crap up.
Edge has no credibility and their quality of reviews is a 0/10. They need to change their policy of employment. Clearly employing mentally retarded people isn't working.

kneon5457d ago

What score did they give Red Dead Redemption which had an order of magnitude more glitches?

So far I've yet to encounter any serious glitch in this game, just the odd momentary camera issue or sometimes Cole will pass through a bit of building while climbing. RDR had far too many issues to list, including many that affected game play, not just the visuals.

Had Rockstar made Infamous it would have gotten a free pass, issues would be ignored, not exaggerated and it would have gotten a much higher score.

sorceror1715457d ago

There is simply no way I2 could score less than I1. The framerate is better than I1, the graphics are better (including smoke), and there are fewer bugs. (And seriously, I haven't run into the camera issues they describe.)

If Edge gave I1 a 7, there is simply no way to justify giving I2 a 6. The UCG stuff alone should have raised it a point, let alone all the other improvements.

HuGi5458d ago

nothing new, nothing old.

subzero-085458d ago

I own the game, and it's great. Anyone who enjoyed the first inFamous will love the second as well.

LarVanian5458d ago

That is all I needed to know about this game. It's 2am at my part of the world, and in twelve hours time I'll be playing this awesome game myself.
Edge you and your anti-PS3 crusade can kiss my ass for all I care.

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot1091d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain1091d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast1090d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox1091d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake1091d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1481d ago (Edited 1481d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1481d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1480d ago (Edited 1480d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1480d ago (Edited 1480d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic1480d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider16241481d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231481d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201481d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1481d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891481d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1481d ago (Edited 1481d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic2144d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish2144d ago (Edited 2144d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic2144d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish2144d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad2144d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan2144d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis2144d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17212143d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC2144d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking822144d ago (Edited 2144d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
