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.

Gotta' love how the main focus isn't how great the game looks/sounds but more about a stupid store that isn't even in the trailer for 5 seconds.

ps3 may be more powerful than 360, but 360 is faster, and infamous 2 looks like a really fun game

I think making a RROD joke is the gaming equivalent to a Bush joke. Whatever though, game looks great.

I've watched like 5 times. Every time I am just amazed at the awesomeness of the game itself. How the hell someone was able to spot such a small detail amazes. I still haven't seen it.

I don't own a PS3 but I have watched alot of infamous videos. To be honest, I really want to own both consoles. Sure I might have more of a 360 preference only because more of my friends have it. But to be honest both systems have exculsives(bad spelling) that really make systems unique.

Should we expect anything less from a developer named Sucker Punch?
by Uzziel Ramirez Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 02:44 PM

i know ps3 is more powerfull than the 360 and another example is rage they gonna have to make 2 discs for 360 and only one for ps3 and yes i dont see 360 owners getting hurt its olny pc owners

well i see how sucker punch got their name, real classy

Red Ring of Death really isn't a problem anymore. I own both consoles, and my PC still gets the majority of my time.

Sooooo.

LOL thats funny.
by Eyros Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 03:10 PM

I never notice crap like that... so trivial. What I am seeing is an extremely pleasing to the eyes trailer for what looks to be yet another example of a sequel leaps and bounds ahead of the original. Beautiful.

Not really a fanboy comment, I do like the PS3 and what it has to offer, but what is up with Sony and its game companies taking jabs at MS? To my knowledge, MS really hasn't done this toward Sony. I really started to notice it at last year's E3 where during their press conference Sony was taking jabs left and right at MS. I really find this way of advertising and talking about one's company tasteless. Tell me how good your product is, not how much your competitors suck

Two things>

1.) Wow, this game seems like it's making good use of making you feel like a hero.

2.) I'm a wee bit afraid of being over-powered.

You might say the Red Ring of Death has become... inFamous?
by Triumphant Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 03:22 PM

Good stuff.
by Matt Gilbert Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 03:24 PM

this game is really starting to look good

As long as the game can back it up....why not.

It's like the old saying, "don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk."
by Chronon Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 03:34 PM

You know...in the past 2 days I went from liking Sucker Punch to hating them. Nice work guys.

The PS3 is so powerful you dont even need Games to enjoy it...hence why mine is collecting dust. call me a troll fanboy........LIVE has better games, better community, better PARTY UP options, etc. PS3 has potential......but in WHAT? So powerful yet not ONE game looked or played better.
