Here are some facts about inFamous:
- In addition to the kitchen espresso, the inFamous team traveled to Starbucks approximately 18,200 times. Two groups of 10 people per day, five days a week.
- There were 10 inFamous babies born during development. One employee had two during that time.
- It took over 70,000 separate art, code and media check-in submissions to make inFamous.
- The inFamous team consumed 17,472 cans of diet Coke and 13,104 cans of diet Pepsi during development.
- There were no less than 14 high rise buildings constructed within 3 blocks of Sucker Punch’s offices during the inFamous development cycle.
Aren’t those facts fun! Actually it’s a little stunning to hear how much time and caffeine goes into the making of one of these blockbuster games. I don’t drink coffee, but if you’ve got an espresso machine in your office why do you need to go get Starbucks? Maybe it was for those sandwiches they have, those are good. Also, who keeps track of the number of sodas consumed?
In some actual news, the same post that informed us of these fun facts from Game Informer also gave news that inFamous will be coming to Home. No details yet on it, but if Home is really growing I suppose some people will be looking forward to it.
P.S. Overlord II also has facts.

I could write more than this blog without saying anything meaningful in the slightest.
Some might say it's the only thing I do!
Oh and TL;DR?? Are you a fucking moron?
why do people anywhere go to starbucks for their coffee. you might as well march your happy ass down to the supermarket and pick up a giant can of folgers.
they distribute and buy the lowest grade specialty coffee, arabica, possible before shoveling it out on the public. fully automatic machines. preground coffee. bad ethical practices.
this actually taints my opinion of inFamous. you can't make a good game drinking shit coffee......imho.
I completely agree. I've had Starbucks coffee in the past, and it tastes awful. The entire place is specifically intended for business collar yuppie motherfuckers who are just thrilled to walk around with their cute little coffee cups in one hand, with the pinky hanging out as they take each sip.
I've had much better (and cheaper) coffee from those little mom & pop coffee shops all around town, dont drink Starbucks people, it'll turn you into a douche.
they have a direct relationship with the farmers they get their beans from, and pay their farmers more than fair trade market price, regardless of what it is at the time.
If I had a secondary option, i'd take it. But most places get shut down by Starbucks around here, if their outrageous prices don't do it first.
or was i supposed to rant about coffee on this video game blog?
Also, you'd think with all that stuff they drank, Sucker Punch could have decided to put in-game advertisements for the places. Like Cole would be thirsty as hell so he goes in Zeke's fridge and starts drinking a Diet Coke. Or one of the dead drops you have to collect is located behind a Starbucks sign.
And people will pay ridiculous amounts of money for it.
I hate Starbucks
starbucks is the reason why stupid shits think a macchiato is somehow the same thing as an iced caramel latte.
Chinese symbols on his pants? Seriously? Who ever thought that was a good idea?
that's a lot of brain cancer in the making
What's funny about your post is this: While I have no idea what a machiatto is, I'm still a little fuzzy about what exactly constitutes a latte.
This is the reason I can't go into a Starbucks without a female to order for me. I'd look a damned fool trying to order "one of those iced coffee drinks with whip cream and caramel. What size? Uh... medium?"
Why can't they name them something a layman could order just by reading the menu? Like McDonalds's Iced coffee or DQ's Caramel MOOlatte. Wait! That's it! That'll help me remember in case I have to venture into one of them ALONE! What's a latte? It's like a MOOlatte!
That's why the game got such a low score.
while i won't go into the details of what constitutes a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, etc.
i will say that my rage comments stem from the fact that just recently here in austin the population voted starbucks as "best coffee in austin," which basically means every burnt orange croc (shoes) wearing douchebag in town still agrees starbucks is the mainstay of quality coffee.
also, while you're at dairy queen i would recommend the "dip-cone."
