Let me guess -- after catching Brad's post about inFamousyesterday, you suddenly got a hardcore craving for more behind-the-scenes footage; it's understandable. Thankfully, we have got the cure for your affliction, and it's beyond the jump as always.
In this video, the good people at Sucker Punch talk about a slew of things, including the tech behind inFamous, how the game can only be done on a PlayStation 3, creating environments that allow for fluid navigation, and some of the differences between playing a hero and a villain (see: badass).
Best part of the video? By far, it's the section where they show how mobs of civilians will form to take you down with rocks if you've been too much of a dick to the city. Of course, you have superpowers, and can obliterate them in a heartbeat, but it's hilarious regardless.

When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Cell processing, a large and interactive world, more zappy powers, a whole lot of stuff I've heard constantly talked about and definitely nothing really new. But suddenly, powers shaping toward the morale path I decide to take? This is slightly different.
And they're not afraid to be dick back at you if you decide to be one with them. I mean ganging up on you and throwing cans at you if you're in public? Pretty brutal but it is a nice touch.
All the absurd PR BS about the POWAH OF THE PS3 aside, I was kind of excited to see all the free-running stuff going on. Because with Sucker Punch's pedigree, I think it should actually work out great (I consider the Sly Cooper games to be the best controlling 3D platformers of all time). I just hope there are plenty of pointless bonuses to collect with your agility...
well, apart from the first half of the video being a marketing campaign for how amazing playstation is and how no other console could possibly do this! [get over it]
It actually ended up looking like a really enjoyable game. this has just pushed me into "do want" status
Yeah I was just about to post about all the ONLY CAN BE DONE ON THE PS3 ITS SO POWERFUL TEH CELL IS GODZ!!!! Its really getting annoying.
I like those guys since I went through an entire generation with them on the PS2 and the game is looking great as always but it just seems like they're being forced to utter the PS3 power stuff whenever they talk.
This will be one of the reasons for me to get a PS3 but I still think that Prototype looks better. We'll find out when the two games release.
This game looks good. I really hope the moral choices are balanced.

Wow this looks effing amazing! I haven't been playing much on my PS3 since MGS4 back in June 08 and assorted other games I haven't finished since, but this game looks like it's definitely going to suck me straight back into Sony's grasp! Awesome!

I want some tougher touches than that.
Actually, the moral choices we've seen (I haven't played the demo) so far operate along those lines.
A. Take on a group of guards alone.
B. Lob a grenade at the cops from inside the crowd to start a riot and provide cover as you take out the cops.
and
A. Distribute food supplies to everyone.
B. Take out the crowd and keep it all for yourself.
Still too stark and kind of blah, but at least with the trailers the actual effects of your super-bipolar decisions can be seen.
Still, I gotta go with Prototype.
