InFAMOUS (series)/Trivia

• Dueling Games: Prototype came out within weeks of inFAMOUS. Forumgoers tend to be fans of one and not the other.
  • Shades of Console Wars too. inFAMOUS is a Play Station 3 exclusive. It sold less as a result, but had more critical acclaim.
  • Yahtzee decided in his review of Prototype that since he put them on equal standards to challenge the creators to make pictures of their rival's title character in lingerie. Sucker Punch and Radical took that challenge, with Yahtzee ultimately declaring inFAMOUS the winner though still recommending Prototype as well. Here's the article with the entries (Brain Bleach recommended, if not required).
• Hey, It's That Sound: The sound that plays any time Cole picks up a Blast Shard is the same sound effect that plays any time the player acquires a Precursor Orb in the Jak and Daxter games.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Some people might wonder why Cole isn't talking about a buddy of his named Keith.
  • And contrary to popular belief, Nix is not Numbuh 5, but is actually Olga Pataki and Asajj Ventress. It's true: check TOW.
  • Festival of Blood isn't the only time Zeke's contended with vampires.
  • Lazarevic apparently has an American twin.
  • Jack is a government agent assisting the hero in the first game, kinda ironic that he's a supposedly demonic monster in the sequel.
  • Why the heck is the Wii Fit personal trainer the girlfriend of the protagonist in a Play Station 3 exclusive game?
  • Jesus, when did Cartman's Mom become a fricking vampire?!?
• Name's the Same: Amusingly, Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay also featured a superhero fighting crime in a place called Empire City. After that, the similarities end.
• Talking to Himself: Yes, Cole and Alden share the same VA.
• Throw It In: Some of Zeke's lines in the first game were ad-libbed, and it actually gave the developers some ideas on where the story should head.
• What Could Have Been: Originally, the game was supposed to feature Cole's powers emerging at random, and varying in some way. But it was later decided that electricity worked best as it is an abundant source within modern society. Also, it turns out Zeke was originally going to be the one who would murder Trish. However, Sucker Punch decided that Zeke was "stupid, but not a murderer."
