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.

Get ready to electrocute some bad guys (or good guys, depending on your taste) as Sony has bumped up the release of inFamous from a vague June timeframe to a shockingly concrete date of May 26.

Developed by Sucker Punch, the free-roaming action game grants players electricity powers to take on various villains and save the city/world/whatever.

Sony, the publisher, in a rather stupid move announced that only those who pre-order the game will be given access to the playable demo on May 7. Peasant folk will have to wait till May 21.
