inFamous Gone Gold

whats_new Web 2.0 has officially hit the gaming industry, as Sucker Punch announced through Twitter that inFamous, its upcoming super-powered open-world game, has gone gold.

Meanwhile, producer Brian Flemming revealed how the studio will be celebrating the end of over three years of development work, writing and creating new code and assets.

It’s a tradition here to bust out old builds and videos of the game and laugh at ourselves for how *crappy* the game was 2 years ago. It’s a strange combination of humiliation at how we ever showed those builds to people, appreciation to Sony for believing in us even when the game was so provably terrible, and sense of accomplishment at how far we were able to come, especially in the last 6-12 months. Plus it’s just plain hilarious to see some of our really BAD ideas on-screen.

inFamous is due out exclusively on the PS3 on May 26. A demo is due out on PSN on May 21, though those who pre-order the game will get access faster.
