Can't wait to play this on my shiny new PS4.

Abash4832d ago

I commend Sucker Punch for knowing that Cole's powers as well as his story line reached their maximum potential by the end of inFamous 2. A new inFamous with Cole would have been milking the game's success and I love the series too much to see that happen.

But inFamous: Second Son is fantastic sequel an way to continue the series. A new hero, new powers, and all new storyline that continues the series

LAZL0-Panaflex4832d ago

Gotta disagree, I want Cole back at some point. Best series ever. He's gotta com back.

Root4832d ago (Edited 4832d ago )

I can't wait to buy it aswell but you want to know why I'm not that excited

They really need to change the new characters attitude and design

He looks like a douche

You need a good character to get people interested in your game. I haven't finished AC3 because Connor is so unlikable and boring

BoNeSaW234832d ago

Your right. I thought the exact same thing.

I REALLY hope Delsin isn't Emo Dante 2.0
I guess we'll see, we still have almost a year for changes and Sucker Punch listens to what their fans want.

WeAreLegion4832d ago

If you guys still don't like Dante, you probably haven't played DMC yet. It's fantastic...and this is coming from a huge DMC fan.

badz1494832d ago

And I always treated the evil ending as the spin-off and the real story is the good ending ones!

(I don't think it's necessary but I don't wanna be a douche so...)

###SPOILER ALERT###

Cole died a Hero and full with pride of being human and dignity of being a conduit in inFamous 2! As much as I love Cole and to some extend Zeke but making him come back after what they've done will tarnish their images and not to mention...MILKING of great characters!

I'm glad they went to the new direction and knowing Sucker Punch, this can only be another great game is waiting on the horizon for us!

well i already expected tis to happen, and i still dont see how some idiots think cole is alive, just because a lightning bolt hit the boat,besides bringing cole back is a cop out to the great ending,and people are seriously saying "im not gonna play the game because cole isnt in it this is just like what happened to dante", all i gotta say is what they did to dante is a completly different thing than to what happened to cole ie he is dead and this takes place 7 years after so a new character with a new power takes place.

showtimefolks4832d ago

while i do agree with your statement but calling others idiots isn't nice

Here is what excites me, with a new hero we get new powers and a new world to play it

sucker punch one of the most under rated developers sony own

pr0t0typeknuckles4832d ago

well yeah its not nice but the way some people act i mean what else can you call them, especially when the facts stare them dead in the face.

showtimefolks4832d ago

pr0t0typeknuckles

ignorant

but i agree i can't wait to see what sucker punch come up with, we know next to nothing about the game so let's wait till we get to play it before making our minds up

Capt-FuzzyPants4832d ago (Edited 4832d ago )

Yeah both endings for inFAMOUS 2 were perfect in my eyes. As much as i want to see Cole again because of how much I liked him, it would ruin two of the greatest endings in all of gaming.

I also have faith that Sucker Punch will create a new likable set of characters with a good story and gameplay. Hopefully they also tie this story into the world they created with Cole and touch upon the significance he had on it.

Also I was talking about this game with my friend and he complained about the set of evil powers not being balanced with the good powers. I never really noticed this, but did anyone else? Because I guess that would be one spot where SP could improve.

matrixman924832d ago

let me first start off by saying that I will definitely be getting this because I love inFamous. However, I can see why people are upset. The whole point and theme of the first two games is that Cole is the savior or downfall of the people. Everything rests on his choices alone. Now in this game, it seems like random antiheroes have powers, which completely negates the whole theme of the first 2 games. What Cole did is not that special anymore, and its just not all that special to have powers anymore. The idea of just one day obtaining these powers seems a little off to me, but there will probably be more context in the game; people just need to wait to see it before completely writing it off I guess though.

Capt-FuzzyPants4832d ago

Well, I think we have to see how they handle it. If they explain why people still have powers after the good ending that doesn't negate anything Cole did. It's just that he didn't effect the world. The people of Empire City and New Marais still depended on Cole to save them or let them die. The theme is still there, just not a world wide scope.

Ilovetheps54832d ago

*Spoilers from inFamous 1 and 2*

This is me just thinking out loud right now, but what if this is in the future and someone was able to create something very similar to the ray sphere, but it didn't require that many lives to turn someone into a superhero? I think it will be something similar to that. This could be after Kessler's times when the ray sphere was actually common.

Root4832d ago

@Capt-FuzzyPants

If you watched the good ending you good hear Zeke saying how "some people over seas were keeling over" and you saw a picture of a tribe in Africa where a man is holding his dead wife

It was a world wide thing

smashcrashbash4832d ago (Edited 4832d ago )

Haven't you forgotten something? Remember that Cole was never the only Conduit. People who he fought or where on his side were Conduits too.He was never that special.He was among people who had powers too even in the first two games.The only reason Cole was different is because he could absorb different powers but he was always surrounded by random people who earned powers. Remember the Transients/Trash baggers? They were just people who lived in the street before they became telekinetic.Cole wasn't special because he had powers. He was special because he was the one person that decided to do something about the terrible things that were happening. Just think of this time people are following his example instead of just causing chaos or standing by watching bad things happen.

maniacmayhem4832d ago

I don't think Sucker Punch will leave Cole dead. They showed the lightning bolt at the end just so they could leave it open enough for them to bring him back if they wanted.

If he doesn't make an appearance in this new one then you know they'll be a side story (DLC) to include him meeting the new character.

Root4832d ago (Edited 4832d ago )

Honestly I think they could easily make inFAMOUS 3 is they wanted and continue straight after the good ending of inFAMOUS 2

They didn't use the number 3 for this but a sub title instead so it's obvious that they are keeping their options open for Cole to return.

I just don't get it though, look at the backlash when they changed Coles design in the second game, there was massive uproar....and now he's not coming back. I mean what the hell

smashcrashbash4832d ago

So people are idiots because they thought Cole might still be alive? I don't follow you. We don't even know which ending this is if it is the good or bad ending and you are already making assumptions. Just because it is a new guy doesn't mean Cole doesn't still exist in the game. It could be the evil ending where Cole and Conduits tried to take over and they were stopped by the rest of humanity.And even if Cole did come back to life so what? It wasn't as if he was just a normal person. He was superhuman so what is so unbelievable about him coming back to life? Is it any less believable then super powers or Cole traveling through time or John coming back with the power to make Conduits or mutant swamp monsters?

awesome
i love the first and second infamous
but it seems sucker punch is creating their own super hero world just like dc comics and marvel
sounds like a brilliant idea
keep it coming sucker punch

cr33ping_death4832d ago

Coooole!!!! You led me to two platinums... u will be missed.

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante4832d ago

Cole will be back eventually in a sequel. He's basically made of electricity & absorbs it from lights to heal. A thunderbolt is more than enough to heal him but I think they're going with the evil ending for the start of this new game anyway. I'm just glad we have new powers instead of more electricity powers.

Capt-FuzzyPants4832d ago

But none of that will happen since this article just confirmed Cole is dead for good.

DarkBlood4832d ago

yes a "article" confirmed it but that doesnt mean it stays true to its word in the future

Sucker Punch To Work On Franchise Spin-Offs After Ghost Of Yotei

Ghost of Yotei can be followed up with spin-offs, confirms the Creative Directors at Sucker Punch Productions.

-Foxtrot595d ago (Edited 595d ago )

Kind of surprising because I don’t know how they’d do spin offs given that they are now making each new game about a different Ghost. When you spin off it’s usually about a different character or location but they are already doing that here.

Only thing I can think of is Jin making a return with a direct follow up to Tsushima and then eventually Yotei will get the same treatment.

isarai594d ago

Legends? Or maybe code for GAAS 😔

-Foxtrot594d ago

*shudder*

I didn’t think about live service

As for Legends, I think doing it as an update after launch for the current game is a better way than a separate game entirely

lukasmain594d ago

Maybe some "Iki Island" sized "spin-offs". Which I would love.

Daeloki593d ago

I think people are throwing around the word spin-off without really knowing what it means. As far as I know, or maybe this is just my interpretation, but a spin-off is something that features someone who was already introduced in a main entry.

So in my mind, Ghost of Yotei is it's own standalone entry in an anthology. Whereas a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off would be if we got something like a game, novel, comic or series focusing on Yuna, Kenji, Tomoe or some other character from the game.

lellkay593d ago

Maybe a spin off dedicated to a side character established in GOT or GOY?

victorMaje593d ago

That’s how I’d understand it. I thought they’d go back to Jin though. Imo his story needs a sequel.

Relientk77594d ago

I mean or you could make a new Sly Cooper, InFamous, or new IP and not milk this series...

Daeloki593d ago

So Ghost of Yotei is milking the series... but making a new Sly Cooper or Infamous isn't?

Chocoburger593d ago

I believe his point is that both series have been gone long enough where regardless of how many entries there are, he (and others) miss the franchise and wouldn't feel like it's considered "milking" due to the massive time gap.

When a gameplay style or characters are gone for so long, its only natural to want to see it return, right?

Mix it up, don't just pigeon hole yourself to make only samurai games, toss in some variety. But if Sucker Punch doesn't want to do that, so be it.

The_Hooligan593d ago

We have had 4 sly cooper games (not including the collection), 3 infamous games (not including the spin-off first light) and so far only 2 ghost games so i wouldn't really call it milking the series. Now, i wouldn't mind also getting another sly or infamous game though.

Jin_Sakai594d ago

Would much rather have a new Infamous game or even a new IP after Ghost of Yotei.

CrimsonWing69593d ago

So, they’re not going to work on different things? Just Ghost and spin-offs for years to come? Please don’t Ass Creed this IP

Profchaos593d ago

Feels like Sony's thing lately studio struck gold and 10 years later they are still toiling away at the same IP tlou and horizon two of the biggest examples

StoneTitan593d ago

You mean every studio in existence?

PitbullMonster593d ago (Edited 593d ago )

Probably for the directors cut edition of GoY for the PS6.
