It has been 7 years since the events of infamous 2. Cole Macgrath made the ultimate sacrifice in order to save humanity. It has been told that when one story ends, another begins. Meet Delsin Rowe a rebellious, smart mouth, daredevil who is of native american "akomish" descent. Delsin is a troubled young man with no clear path of what direction to go in life and consider himself and graffiti artist. In the beginning of the story we see Delsin doing graffiti as a way to express his feelings and rebelliousness. Getting caught by his brother, who is the sheriff and has consistently had to arrested him for his transgressions and lack of judgement. Unlike Delsin, Reggie Rowe has a direction in life. Motivated by his sense of right and wrong it becomes obvious why these brothers would bump heads.
When a truck accident happens Reggie tries to help and chases two of the escaped prisoners. Delsin sees one of the other prisoner is trapped and tried to help and in doing so Delsin contact with the prisoner awakens his conduit gene. Fearing that he would be cast out Reggie tries to shield his brother. Now this is where the story picks up.
A woman named Brooke Augustine who is the leader of DUP (department of unified protection) comes into town looking for the escaped convicts. She leaves a mass of destruction pushing Delsin to take action and head to Seattle where the DUP headquarters has been set Through his journey Delsin is faced with the common choices of the karma system good or evil. As you progress through the game you meet other conduits with abilities you add to your own and become more powerful. Also, you can change your powers depending on the situation and location you are placed in the game. You get to have 4 powers in the game but you will have to collect the blast shards to evolve your powers.
A new aspect of the game that you get to perform is creating graffiti. Throughout Seattle there are locations that you will be able to do graffiti. Just like the karma system it will allow you to do evil or good graffiti. I found this new twist to be a new welcome change of pace.
One of the greatest thing about infamous is how smooth the game runs and the visuals. The best time to see this is when using the neon powers which shows the beauty of the colors. One part of the game that has definitely improved on is the chemistry between the characters. Delsin whether he is been good or bad his tone seem to match well with his actions. The chemistry with the other characters starts well however, the supportive characters seem to have too small of a role and I think they could expanded their stories a bit more. The open world of this game also shows how massive the maps are and how detailed the world is.
The one thing that i was disappointing with is that there is no real mix matching between good or evil choices. To me its the one part of the game that is still stuck in the past. In its own way the game forces you to either be all good or be all evil with no choice in between. Your powers are still tied up with your choices of good or evil. When you play in evil mode your powers are more destructive with more kill purpose and playing in good it is more in a subdue purpose.
For the open world that Infamous second son is its about the freedom and the possibilities of what your powers can do. When it comes down to Infamous it delivers hand down in this experience. Lets be honest a game that you can glide through and crush your opponents with a number of different powers its a game I'm always going to play and explore.
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
Huzaifah from eXputer writes, "My favorite type of genre in games is when enemies are merely animal fodder in the eyes of the protagonist's sheer power."
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
They really need to
Go off the evil ending off Second Son
Delsin absorbs all those powers
Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.
Cole vs the Real Beast
quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.
It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.
Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.
I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.
We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)
Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown
Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5
Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?
I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.
If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.
Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.
I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.
Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
I think it is a pretty good review. Keep writing!
i liked the game but i am having trouble even wanting to play it again. while the graphics were great and game play solid i felt like it was a guided path into an empty room once you finished it.I partially regret buying it so soon due to the fact that i feel like it lacked content. no after story stuff, and no more fun.
