Infamous 2 Takes A Jab At The 360's Red Ring Of Death

Infamous 2 developer Sucker Punch has been outspoken in its belief that the PlayStation 3 is the most powerful console on the market. In October of last year, Sucker Punch's Darren Bridges made comments that suggested the Xbox 360 was not powerful enough to run Infamous 2. Now, a new trailer for the game appears to take another jab at Microsoft's 360, this time the system's much discussed "red ring of death" failure problems.

In a new trailer, which you can watch below, people have spotted an in-game store front with a sign that reads "Red Ring Electronics." It sure looks like a shot at Microsoft to us, but you'll have to judge for yourself. In addition to this little joke, the new trailer showcases some simply amazing gameplay and a huge monster that has to be seen to be believed.

  • Uh oh, here we go.

    Game looks awesome! Even better than I thought it would.
  • dumb bigoted fools.....pc is ATLEAST one generation ahead of consoles...and the xbox definatley could run infamous 2
  • GOD **BRAAAHHHH** WHY DID I TRADE MY PS3 FOR 360?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!
  • Awesome trailer, and props to whoever noticed that RROD reference first, I know I would have never noticed that on my own.

  • Not powerful enough? PS3 most powerful? Honestly? You can't get more ignorant, sucker punch. There's no most powerful console, both are pretty much just the same, except the ps3 has blu ray and stuff like that, but it doesn't add anything to the overall quality of games. But calling the 360 not powerful enough because sony paid them to stay exclusive on the ps3 is ignorant.
  • I got into the beta :)
  • oh come on, i though this were grown up dudes, and thus the console wars can't seem to end
  • That Ice Monster should have just given Cole the "Cold Shoulder". Don't worry I got a million of them.

    In other news this game looks freaking amazing!

  • Why do I feel like Red Ring Electronics is going to go out of business.
  • Haha nice. All in good fun.

  • wow people are getting pissed off about this its a *** JOKE.
  • Fantastic :3

  • Doesn't matter, PC has PS3 beat in every single way. Suck my maxed out Crysis 2 @ 1080p and 60 frames per second [snip].
  • Iball sign on the warehouse? Could that possibly be poking fun at the Ipad?
  • And the world's easiest joke award goes to...

    By the way, was it really neccesary to point out that little three seconds of an awesome trailer and make a whole article out of it?

  • well theres one obvious answer and im not trolling this is stuff ive seen in blogs that make alot of sence microsoft needs more money so i doubt there fixing the redring of death problem and the pay to play is another example. why would there be a red ring if they didnt expect it to mess up tell you the truth i have a xbox grave yard in my back yard with 5 systems in it and i decided that microsoft isnt gettin anymore of my money the devolopers have seen this and they have noticed the same thing thats why xbox has lost mass effect 2 as an exclusive. if microsoft doesnt change things the outcome might not be good.
  • Mod

    Don't know about the jab thing, but the new trailer rocks.

  • M$ you just got Suker Punched!
