That preview is from almost a year ago and he "stated the facts" because he didn't even play the game, he watched a developer demo it. Here's recent hands-on from eurogamer:

Most, if not all, of the previews from GDC-onward have been positive.. and it got a 9 for it's first review. I understand not getting hyped about a game (especially after ...
Can't believe someone disagreed with you. Anyways, OPM UK gave it a 9. Here's the link to the scans.

Apparently they didn't say anything about the pop-ins.. and if they were as bad as they were in this video, they would've definitely said something. So now I'm cautiously optimistic.
Yeah, I'd like to know why the game doesn't deserve a 9.5 or 10.
I think this might be from the preview build or the final build since it's in French. Everything looked good except for the pop-ins. I was surprised since I hadn't seen them or read about them in previews before. I remember one of the first gameplay videos I saw had Cole riding on the train for at least a minute and I didn't notice anything like this.
I have a hard time believing the amount of pop-ins from the video will make it into the full game, but we'll see....

I can't believe someone actually disagreed with you.
lol I agreed with you and +bubbles just cause I glanced at your post history and don't understand why you only have 3 bubbles while some other people (who shall remain nameless) have over 5 bubbles.
The announcement that Uncharted 2 would have multiplayer last week was big if you weren't here to witness it.
Does the Uncharted 2 voucher come with the special edition? I heard it didn't.
Smart move IMO
Hm.. somebody with an avatar of someone pissing on the Sony logo doesn't like a Sony exclusive? *gasp*
You guys can act like you're genuine when you say how prototype looks better and you won't be picking up infamous, but all the infamous previews have been really positive and it will be a great game... your loss.
@Why dis: If this was a 360 exclusive you would be all up in it's thong. I'm sure prototype's "PS2-ish" graphics don't bother you.
I guess you've never seen a gameplay video of infamous? Cause this looks exactly like them.
What were you expecting? A boss fight at the very beginning of the game?
This was a tutorial on how to use your basic powers, and you only start with about 4 of them.
Here's the video TheExecutive is talking about (I think):

I'm sure it's the final build, and I noticed popins after he jumped down onto the street.. but it seemed to improve after a minute or two. The city looks incredible IMO.
EDIT: oh, and the video's French.
Which preview said there was screen tearing?
"Other previews have been positive but not overly so."

That preview is even more positive than the IGN ones if you can believe that's possible.
Which podcasts are you listening to? I've heard nothing but praise for infamous on the IGN podcasts.
Can't wait to see some gameplay.
If someone drops out of college to pursue a "career" in gaming, they didn't deserve to be in college to begin with. At least more deserving people are able to replace them.
Then why didn't R* deny it?
L1 targets, then R1 zaps, X does the force push, square throws grenades, circle does rolls/evades.
L2 drains electricity
L3 helps you find places to drain.
R1 next to an injured enemy/civilian when not aiming lets use choose between healing someone, taking their electricity, or restrain them.
X jumps/climbs
Square is melee
Circle is cover.
