We've got two new trailers for Sucker Punch's PlayStation 3-exclusive sandbox game, inFamous, for you to take a look at. The first video is more oriented towards the storyline and reveals the title's release (spring 2009), while the other is nothing but solid gameplay footage.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw these videos was, "this looks like an open-world Psi-Ops, but with electricity," and as far as I'm concerned, that's a very, very good thing.

This is definitely one of those games that will really benefit from being demonstrated live. The fact that the star of inFamous is fighting against a group of strange hooded men adds to the mystery of it all and has me wanting to see more footage.

How cool was that electric bomb attack!?

Now THIS looks like fun. Electric bomb is OK but I would love to see some melee attacks.

This game will kick ass, It's like GTAIV, just not marred by horrible diving and decent shooting controls.

Looks like what GTA4 could have been minus the super hero.

This game looks bad-ass. Like Crackdown except with powers and much cooler and fleshed out (as a game). REALLY wish they would have demoed it a bit though.

Ok, now we've got 3 "you have motherfucking SUPER POWERS" action games on the docket. Force Unleashed, Prototype, and inFamous.

A) Looks a lot like Prototype

B) Oh god, here we go, another "How did I get these mysterious powers, how did I mysteriously survive this mysterious event that mysteriously killed everyone, oh no shock twist ending, dark shady corporation/government was doing experiments on me years ago and I have amnesia, my memories were inserted and it turns out *insert girl character* has been working for them all along! Oh I've been doing their dirty work this entire game, what a twist!". Ugh.

c) Looks cool.

Looks like Prototype game world and storyline with Force Unleashed abilities.

P.S. Seriously hope there's more abilities than just those lightning ones shown. Perhaps ice, fire, etc.?

I think prototype ripped this game off not the other way around. I remeber seeing this almost 2 years ago. Still looks awesome and I LOVE Sucker Punch (Sly Cooper FTW!)

I've said this before and I will say it again, The Sony Trinity (Insomniac, Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog) will always make good games. Always.

@tehAnt1the1s1s-
from what I have seen of prototype it looks like a completely different game- I wouldn't compare these 2-
though i am interested in infamous mainly because from what I have read, like saints row 2 this game is supposed to concentrate on the sandbox aspect in a big way-

Looks like fun, though it could easily get lost in the shuffle.

What's with the Prototype comparisons? inFAMOUS was announced before Prototype.

Announced before and shown gameplay of before are two very different things. Before I had seen any gameplay of inFamouse, I had seen a lot more gameplay of Prototype and Star Wars: Force Unleashed, of which this game looks to be a mixture.

Concept sounds cool. I hope they can deliver.

For some reason, as it is shown in the typo in my previous comment, I keep imagining a parody with Rocky & Bullwinkle called inFamoose.
