It has been reported that one of the employees from Sucker Punch, the development team behind PS3 exclusive inFAMOUS has said that the game is only possbile on the Playstation 3.
As reported from theGamerAccess, the comments came in a video titled ‘The Tech behind inFAMOUS’, where developers sat down and discussed the game.
The employee from Sucker Punch said that they had used the PS3’s hardware to their advantage and stated that the ”PS3 is really the only place we could have made this.”
What do you think of these claims? If you’ve had a chance to sample the inFAMOUS demo, you might have a better idea on what they are getting at here. Take a look at the video though, over at GA and let us know what your opinions are.

die xbox die ha ha
ps3 all the way
screw you. 360 is awesome.
Hellz yes!
It’s not the graphics, it’s the game (though of course you won’t buy it if it looks like it should be on a PS1).
Xbox has good graphics and has Halo…’nuff said.
Technically Speeking the PS3 has One Core Count em One core and 7 Spe’s (Threads) The 360 has Three Cores and 6(Threads) And as a PC Programmer That technically speaking makes the 360 more capable of pooshing more data to the screen. Sony is just trying to make themselves sound “Bigger,” and for the most part it is working to the public. Think about this though, What company do you think sony has to thank to even be running their PC’s and computers, Thats right Microsoft. Let me tell you I will shoot myself the day sony becomes more popular than them.
Not sure any of us said that.
Yawn yawn yawn, more childish BS. How many times have we heard this about exclusives only to see them ported some time later. They say this shit to butter up ps3 owners so they buy the game. The game does look great but to say it would not be possible on the x360 is stupid. The 1 and only development advantage the ps3 has over the x360 is the disc size and even that is very easily overcome.
Well you’ve heard it a lot from developer from 360 camp in which none of the games that they claim they could do none have been done on 360 they mentioned K2 and mgs4 now infamous the proof is that ps3 exclusives are totally better and more technical that’s that plus what do people saying these thing get out of NOTHING bottom line ps3 is better and 360 is showing age after 4 years that is sad. Every title ps3 has release the 360 fanboys or camp has always post stupid articles that 360 can do it who cares? People could be so ignorant sometimes.
could you please learn some basic English… you know, things like grammar beyond that of a first grade education before posting on the internet? I mean, I was considering reading your post until about 12 words in when my comprehension cortex punched me in the face for making it process such a sentence. I sorely hope that you are not an adequate reflection of the entire PS3 fan base, or there is little hope for any halfway decent debates.
Hey hey hey. lets not be cruel. I will admit that my friends father works at sony, the sports games and he said not to buy the PS3 and to get the 360 because the blue ray is so “slow” they need to put the same info onto the games disc multiple times just to increase the load times. even if they have 3 PS3’s, they are the earlier versions and they are the better ones.
dave. are u talking about file and data compression? u do no that the game want look as good wen compressed and it will push the xbox hardware more. u will lose sound and visual. they just 1 way they can do this and that is install data 2 a harddrive but then the xbox 360 has core no harddrive. i think thats 2 thing the ps3 has over the xbox. am a pc gamer just like the ps3 as well free online loving it. is that now 3 things? lol
Yes the online is free for ps3 owners like myself, but xbox live is far better. As an xbox owner also i know. Plus it only costs £40/$60 a year! With what my ps3 costed me i could by and xbox then run xbox live for a few years! But this is a great PS3 exclusive
Having said that I generally prefer the games on the xbox to be honest. I wish they just released a universal console that had the advantages of both put together, and the choice of controller type… would make life SO much easier.
Microsift and Sony, I love them both , but because of Childish difrences and the greed for money wont ever make a system that you are refering to. I must admit it would be the best and so many people would buy it, but no, they would never agree to that.
I’m getting tired of these only possbile on (incert console name here) claims by devs, they are clearly an advertising tool designed to get the fanboys to do their work for them.
Having seen the demo, i’m not sure i would buy this game on either console, it just seemed boring & generic to me but i’ll reserve full judgment for when i get the chance to play the demo for myself.
I know i am fortunate in being able to own both PS3 & Xbox360 but i still don’t know why those with only one feel the need to appear superior in some way by their choice of console, i guess it must be a form of overcompensating for something.
i love both consoles, but killzone 2 and infamous, i dont think 360 could pull off . one of the biggest problems is bluray, 360 does not have the space, next is ps3 has 8 processors running at 3.2 each, 360 has 3@ 3.2, also the ps3 has more memory and a better graphics card running at 550 htz compared to 360 @500, there are other specs that the ps3 just smacks the 360, the 360 is a good system, however sony lookes to the future when they built there system , so much no one could develop on it for a while, there was quiet a learning curve. the last few sony exclusives from sony , you can really see a big difference in graphics and smooth game play vs. 360
Lol Lou before you make judgements about which one is better, I have both systems by the way. the Cell processor is faster then the 360 but the graphics card is slower on the ps3 then it is on the 360. You should look at some of the specs. mhz doesnt always been faster chips. and as for 3.2 ghz x 8 lol thats wrong too its 8 processors but 7 are dedicated smaller processors running at a slower speed then 3.2 and a main processor running at 3.2 lol dude do your homework. Fanboys are so oldschool now. Lets jusr praise both companies for coming out with sick games. enough said.
hay big guy, i also own both systems, and have game developers in the family, actually, sony is using 7 processors and has not even tapped the 8 th. i have done my homework maybe you should take another look, and look carfully. im a game fan boy, there are things i like and dislike about both systems, the ps3 is faster and has more you can do programming wise. it is what it is. take a look at the full picture. if you need real system specs on both systems ill be glad to email them to you.
wow lou…are you retarded?
if you knew there were only 7 processors why did you originally say there were 8, and then come out and say they haven’t even tried tapping the 8th?
shut up ps3 fanboy
both consoles are good…youre just mad that microsoft is systematically picking off your “exclusives”
ahem *gta, final fantasy, etec. etc.*
also dont bother commenting back…because no matter what you say…you won’t win the argument
sadly thats just how it works, i win. you lose.
p.s. youre also mad that we have the most played online game
lou the ps3 has 512mb and 96mb is used by the operating system so that leaves 416mb (224mb to the gpu and 192mb to the cpu) for game developers, the 360 has 512mb and 32mb is used by the operating system so that leaves 480mb (240mb to the gpu and 240mb to the cpu) for game developers, scientists have proven that the 360s gpu is better than the ps3s gpu, they found the RSX to be cloced at 500mhz not 550mhz plus it has no edram while the 360s gpu has 10mb edram so you tell me which is better now.
Andrew, i highly doubt “SCIENTISTS” have proven that.. In fact it probably hasnt been proven. The xbox is good but its not built to last long.. Look at anything Microsoft makes, it’s built to be replaced and fast.
I’m pretty sure the smarty smart people who built the machines are ’scientists’. They might not use beakers or eye droppers filled with strange green liquids but fo sho these guys are building technology with SCIENCE. So I’m pretty sure scientists have proven something. I’m not sure what. But theres enough nerdy scientist game boys out there. So chillax.
boy you really get the 360 fan boys going with this, i dont care who makes the system, if yamaha or apple, made the system, if one is better its better. ps3 was made to last , that is why microsoft is releasing a new xbox around 2012 with bluray, the 360 is maxed out with what it can do, we have for the most part seen the most it can do, which is good, the new halo 3 may look better , i hope , they may of learned a few new tricks, i just love good games, dont give a shit if phillips makes it, just bring the good games, all fan boys are missing out , if you limit yourself to one system , you are missing out, both sony and microsoft have great games, put your pepe away and just play
You just put it on more than one disc. Its not the end of the world for gods sake, unless you are too lazy to get up and change the disc.
yah i really want to get up put multiple discs in , wait for load time, and all that fun stuff, and there is more, the 360 DOES NOT HAVE THE BALLS . microsoft tried to put blu ray on the current 360 and was shot down, they are working a deal for there new system , for god sakes
If you think it’s only multiple discs keep dreaming there is more than just the disc quantity on hardware deference..
I’m sorry but this is complete bull, I’ve got the game it looks like it could have been done on the Wii. The graphics would be unacceptable on the 360 and doesn’t displaying anything the PS2 or Gamecube didn’t on Spider-Man 2. It’s great how the city expands and decays but the lo resolution and jaggies look horrible and are unacceptable for a 1st party game and on a machine that endlessly boasts how powerful it is.
I’ve played the demo and there is NOTHING in that game that the 360 couldn’t do and more. The game looks like garbage and the gameplay is equally poor. The 360 is a much better machine than the ps3 (I own both - thats my opinion) - you can install FULL games to the 360’s hard drive - can’t do that with the ps3 can you? Nope - stuck with slooooow transfers from the bluray drive.
