1* ActingForTwo: Cole and Alden Tate share the same voice actor.
2* DevelopmentHell: Following ''inFAMOUS''[='=]s success, a film adaptation was announced only two months after the game was released, and that's about it...
3* DuelingGames: ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' came out within weeks of ''inFamous''. Forumgoers tend to be [[FandomRivalry fans of one and not the other]].
4** Shades of UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars, too. ''inFamous'' is a [=PS3=] exclusive. It sold less as a result, but had more critical acclaim.
5** 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 [[FanDisservice took that challenge]], with Yahtzee ultimately declaring ''inFamous'' the winner though still recommending ''Prototype'' as well. [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/6228-Yahtzees-Prototype-vs-InFamous-Challenge Here's the article with the entries.]] (BrainBleach recommended, if not required.).
6* HeyItsThatSound: 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 ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' games.
7* ThrowItIn: Some of Zeke's lines were adlibbed and it actually gave the developers some ideas on where the story should head.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: 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, [[spoiler: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."]]
9** ''inFamous'' was planned to be Creator/{{Sony}}'s answer to Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' games, before the development got overhauled. It was supposed to be LighterAndSofter than the final product. [[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/14/5508106/infamous-animal-ocrossing Read here.]]
10** The developers preferred the evil karma path, but fans liked the good path more, making it canon. Ditto with 2, meaning Second Son could have had a very different premise.
11** Sucker Punch played around with the idea of giving the player the option to kill Zeke. It was instead [[spoiler: saved for ''VideoGame/Infamous2'']].
12* WorkingTitle: True Hero
