Speaking with gaming site 9 Lives, Sucker Punch’s Bruce Oberg has said that the company has no current plans to release downloadable content for its PlayStation 3 exclusive, inFamous, which ships this week.
Oberg also mentions that the title, a single-player experience, will not be receiving a multiplayer patch or update.
The length of inFamous’ gameplay has been called into question (seriously, 25 is not short!), but I’m here to tell you that the lack of additional content or multiplayer will not hurt this game. Having been playing it casually for a few weeks, I can say there’s more than enough game there to keep you entertained. It doesn’t hurt that the game is a blast to play. I’ve been far too busy with a move and E3-planning to dig in deep (and I’m won’t be able to do our review), but I’ve made time each day to play because of an uncontrollable urge.
For PlayStation 3 owners on the fence, confused by the Prototype comparisons, do yourself a favor – pick up inFamous this week if you like things that are fun. That’s not a review, that’s a strong suggestion; it’s worth it, even if Sucker Punch won’t be providing multiplayer or additional post-release content.

don't you know that we all are in this videogame business so that each one of us can cheer in this battle to the death that console manufacturers are in.
oh and BTW, N-gage FTW!!!!
But really who was expecting multiplayer for this?
2. No DLC means no better skins or costumes. Also, boo.
Like Sephiroth, and others, I'm floored that they're coming clean this soon. It's nice to know you're getting the whole package, for once.
@Chronic
Although I'm not disappointed multiplayer is missing, can you imagine how cool a GTA4-like sandbox experience would be? I could play a game of high-stakes tag for days if they added a 3-4 player "same city" option.
I'm not all that social. So I'm glad they put ALL their energy into building a polished finished product. As far as Single Player is concerned.
Besides the game really fits a certain gloominess. That resinates universally in feeling among those type of gamers...
That being said... I felt ripped off by Sony once so far...
(( Resistance 2 )) *Cough!* The only good part of Resistance 2 was the multiplayer.
@ chronic logic
It' would be a little more intresting than that.
I hope theres a new crackdown at E3
Although I probably wouldn't buy dlc on the ps3. I don't play it enough. I might change my mind if Infamous is as amazing as it could it be.
I'll find out today I suppose.
How it's 25 hours short? Did it take you 45 hours to beat Cod4?
Oh it did.....Sorry.
As opposed to multiplayer where you go around shooting bullets at each other? Sounds the same to me.
On that note, I applaud Sucker Punch for not going the "gauge your fanbase" route. They shipped a complete product that stands on its own, which is the way it should be.
Boy, so I feel silly.
They'll likely do DLC if it sells well. Hopefully they do a LBP DLC that adds a lightning shooting ability and inFamous costumes, similar to the MGS4 paintball DLC.
Everyone in MP would get supersoakers!!!
