Sucker Punch Delivers their next installment on their take on comic book origin stories with Infamous 2. After the success of the First Infamous, can lightning strike twice?
Don't go into Infamous 2 without beating the first game you will be lost. Infamous 2 does very little back tracking on Infamous, They simply add to the story of Infamous. Infamous Is about a guy called Cole Macgrath who activated this thing called the ray's Sphere and got lightning powers from it. Sounds like your average super hero story, that's where your wrong. Infamous story is really deep. But i'll go more into detail later. All you need to know is that at the end of Infamous you are warned about this beast who is coming. well he has arrived and he kicks your but. Cole escapes to New Marais to find these chards that make him more powerful so that the next time the beast arrive to New Marais Cole will be ready.
Graphic wise Infamous 2 is a Beast...(no pun intended) New Marais Will make you feel like your walking the streets of New Orleans. characters no longer look like dolls, they look like real people who's emotions can be read through their facial expressions. Unlike the first game, the majority of the story is not told through Cole narrating a comic book. Sucker Punch uses real time in game engine which makes you feel like your acting out a living comic book.
Cole has a new voice actor. while the original will be missed the new guy passes. Like the first game the soundtrack isn't Amazing. At times I felt like certain scores could have been placed in other parts of the games campaign. However that isn't enough for anyone to hate the game.
You will be pleased to know that Infamous two plays exactly like Infamous. The game runs smooth and all the nasty bugs from the first game are gone. The biggest change to the gameplay is the addition of Cole's amp. Cole does some really stylish combos with this amp which is a huge improvement because in the first game, the hand to hand combat felt like you were doing a chore.
Infamous 2 is a really fun game. Defeating enemies and doing missions to gain xp and upgrade your characters really makes you fell like you accomplished a great deal of work, which you did. The bonds you create with Zeke kuo and knix are unbelievable. This game will make you care for their feelings and that will ultimately influence the choices you make. Whether you end up beating the game being a hero or infamous at the end, you will undoubtedly want to beat the game again just to find out what the alternative of all your choices outcome are. If that's not replay value i don't know what is.
Infamous 2 takes a bite from Little big planets book with the addition of User Generated Content. In this mode you can create your own missions for others to play. It's confusing at first but once you get the hang of it you wont want to stop creating. The Variety of options are incredible. You can make race's all out gang wars, assassination missions etc. you can even create your own cut scenes and dialogues to go along with it to have background stories.
Overall Infamous 2 is one of Playstation's strongest exclusive. Anyone who is a fan of the first Infamous should definitely pick this game up. Sucker punch has out done themselves with this game. This is an early contender for game of the year.
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2
They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending
What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.
Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time
Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown
How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?
Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.
Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.
Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.
MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.
Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!
Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌
Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.
Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.
But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.
Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.
RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen
Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
A brand new version of the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, brings major graphical improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more.
If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?
If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.
I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available
Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally
Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?
I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.
In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.
Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.
The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol
Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
7 is a little harsh for sound, i thought the voice acting was very good and the sound effects were amazing but overall good review. It is definitely a GOTY contender, i agree with new marais feeling alive and buzzing like new orleans. good job.
I dont think the game is over 40 hours. I played all the xtra missions and i didnt get close to that.
