I really don't see why they just didn't have Delsin in another city when the events of inFAMOUS 2 are playing out.....they could keep on doing this for so many games and tell so many stories.

Then when they are ready make inFAMOUS 3 by going off one of the endings.

Least then they wouldn't be forced to choose either the good or bad ending.

Anyway Cole will return....it's a Superhero thing

Flu shots don't prevent every form of the flu, but bah gawd, if my ray field inhibitor thingy doesn't work exactly like that science guy said, heads will roll!

Spoiler Ahead
Yeah And Kessler is cole from the future and this was never really well explained but Infamous has always had parallel universes Or Maybe like i' remember The First Sons had been operated secretly inside Empire City for decades before the blast, but afterwards operated openly so maybe the first son's Has Something To Do with this Second Son

Okay, it is not retconed yet. It might be covered in the game, all we have is 10 magazine pages and a single teaser trailer, wait before we rampage.

i second that you guys no vaccine or cure is 100% effective

Infamous 1 and 2 were just comical climb-fests and repetitive gameplay. I really hope this newest reboot is worth our time.

Well this is just a thought, but a pulse will eventually dissipate after a certain distance from its point of origin. So for instance if someone used the device from the North Pole, people would be affected on the South Pole but not greatly. It would all depend on how much energy was originally input into the device. So it could work. People on the other end as mentioned above would have been put into a coma or knocked out due to the blast and their power would remain.

here is my problem though. arent conduits what started the plague? which is why they all had to be killed off for the rest of humanity to survive. so if conduits survived, we just have the same problem all over again.

oh well. im more concerned about the gameplay than the story, anyway.

I agree with this article, they should have went with the evil ending and took off from there. I don't think I can take this story seriously anymore. Hopefully the game play will make up for it.

This is how I think the story will go:

Again... (((***SPOILERS AHEAD***)))
The RFI's main goal was to destroy the plague it's secondary function was to kill ALL humans with the Conduit gene but there were some humans with this gene that were stronger than most so they somehow became immune to the RFI's effect.

The only reason why I say Cole won't come back because he kinda died twice. Once from the RFI's effect of killing humans with the Conduit gene, including Cole, and Second the fact the RFI probably took all of Cole's power to use it making him very weak probably killing him.

Okay from the top.(Spoilers for anyone who didn't finish the game by now). First of all NO ONE said that all Conduits would die when the RFI went off. At no point did anyone say that or indicate that. Zeke simply said he hear stories of people dying overseas. No one at any point said every Conduit died. Okay now that is out of the way secondly it is impossible to stand in a single place and expect the RFI wave to reach everyone on earth.That is impossible. Not even when the Ray Sphere went off it reached everyone on the planet and since the RFI was based on the same principal it is unlikely it could reach every Conduit either.Thirdly Cole was at the center of the blast so it is unlikely he could survive unlike the people the blast couldn't reach.

Forth the RFI's main function was NOT to kill Conduits that was an unfortunate side effect to curing the plague so I don't see what is so hard about believing some survived seeing that is not what it was for in the first place.And finally the scientist never gave them any indication of the percentage of people the RFI would effect or the radius the blast would cover so I am not sure what makes people so certain it would be enough to cover the whole earth.So I can only assume that instead of actually trying to understand the story properly many people just made assumptions and ran with them

I was prepared to post a hateful message with intent toward the author but he brings up a good point...the ending showed conduits in India dying off so how the hell would one IN the USA even survive. Perhaps they shoulda set the story in the future by 20 years and have it be that Delsin wasn't even born when Cole sacrificed himself or have the game be set in a completely different section of the world. I think we're all dying to see a superhero game in the Savannah..killing lions and whatnot

It's simple. The RFI didn't kill off every conduit in the world.

They can say that it was supposed to, but think about. Can you really believe that it managed to kill off EVERY SINGLE CONDUIT ON THE PLANET? Is it not possible that some may have resisted the RFI's effects or the pulse simply dissipated as it traveled to appoint where it was no longer strong enough to kill every conduits?

Some survived. They bred. The gene spread. And now we have Second Son.

It's a backtrack to make another inFamous game. I would have preferred them saying this was a parallel universe. That would have been cooler and (to me) showed some honor and respect to the original story. It's like George Lucas going back and putting Hayden in the final scene where Luke sees his father, Obi and Yoda watching in spirit. Everything is all good until I see that moment and I cringe. They could have kept it the way it was and it would not have had an effect on a movie that I have loved for years.

So yea, thanks for putting the hollywood/michael bay touch to it. But honestly I look forward to seeing what they do with this game and see where it goes. Will it be another trilogy? Will Cole/Kessler play a part? We shall see...

So SONY/Sucker Punch gave a big middle inger to Cole.

***DID NOT READ****

maybe sp is lying about cole, maybe cole is still alive and is a secret they are trying to hold onto.

what i do expect however is for the references of infamous 2 to appear i this game in some form.

heck i miss cole already :/

Slow news day huh? Complaining about game that not even release and the developer only gave a bit prelude about the story. Huh, video game journalist this day are a joke!

since when did any virus in the history of mankind ever been able to completely wipe out the human race? Why would the RFI be any different? I mean the strong survive by luck and the weak die.

"Cole activated the RFI device which killed countless conduits around the world. The few who somehow survived are now demonized by the news media and average citizens live in fear of them. Conduits are now commonly known as bioterrorists. To most of the world Cole was "The Demon of Empire City" and is held up as a villain despite his heroic deeds and ultimate sacrifice."

Some of you already said it : "nobody said that EVERY conduits died in inFamous 2, and no cure or vaccine is effective at 100%".

Infamous 2's story was lackluster anyway, or so i thought.

Is not the inFamous world fantasy? A world with superheroes and powers? A world with absurdities and loads of fun stuff?
---We can use our imagination---

Everything is fine here.

Scroll down to author and notices a picture of a 10 year old looking kid.

Never mind.

Sooo lets just say Cole isn't dead- as far as we know he's the only person to ever have electric powers- this new characters power is to get some of other peoples powers- so you start with smoke- if cole isn't dead that'd be a great way to bring electricity back into it :p

Isnt it obvious? They are going with the bad ending where Cole has the Beasts' power! And then him and Kuo did it and they had a son! Boom! Theres your explanation!

*Sidenote* Cole in good ending did anyone notice that lightning bolt strike down on his raft?

inFamous is the new Heroes.

i thought i saw something about him getting his powers from a guy on a bus who passed them on as he died so if that death was because of R.F.I and that conduits power was to give normal people powers boom super powered punk guy.

How cool would it be if we got two entirely different games on the same disk where going good or bad in your I2 save would determine which story would play out.

They're only calling it "Infamous" to boost sales. It has nothing to do with Infamous 1 or 2 and there is no need to call it such. Shame on Sony and Sucker Punch's part.

If it wasn't for the fact that Deslin (Is it Deslin?) is clearly in his late teens or at least an adult and the story is set 7 years after the RFI/Beast endings, I would be tempted to day he was born with the conduit gene after they were all killed. Maybe he was grown in a test tube or something...? (Yes i know that bit is unlikely). If Sucker Punch had put a bigger gap like.. I dunno... 20 years, then he could have been born with the gene. It may have said all living conduits were killed but they were said several times to be the next step in human evolution, so maybe some new evolved humans were born. Second Generation conduits??

Didn't really like second son. I want Cole back.

Definitely prefer Cole and the first and second game but I still enjoyed second son and first light

Sony has so many great dominant IP's that they can bring back, such as Infamous, Socom, Ape Escape, Jak & Daxter, Siren, Sly Cooper, Killzone, Twisted Metal, Little Big Planet, Gravity Rushy, Motorstorm, Wild Arms, Resistance, Wipeout, Alundra, Colony Wars, Cool Boarders, Knack, Syphon Filter, Dark Cloud, Omega Boost, The Legend of Dragoon, G-Police, The Getaway and so on. Many of these games is what defines Playstation and sets them apart in previous generations.

I rather they focus on that, instead of Live Service games that's been so heavily invested now days.

They could also work with third parties developers to bring these franchises back like Parasite Eve, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, Dino Crisis, Ridge Racer, SSX, Tenchu, Jade Cocoon, Xenogears, Lunar Silver Star, Nightmare Creatures, Vagrant Story, Shadow Hearts, Driver, Breath of Fire, Tomba, Legend of Legaia, Okami..etc

I'm more of a new IP dude but infamous is one of the few series I want more of. Second son 2 where you play as delsin, fetch, and the video game guy (eugene I think?), Infamous 3 where cole comes back and maybe teams up with delsin against a new threat, A new game where maybe you pllay as another new protag who has to fight against an evil deslin who got messed up from absorbing too many powers and became some unstable super powered dude similar to the beast in infamous 2. Or just a whole new plot, characters and city. Series has a lot of potential

I doubt it but it would be welcomed or atleast the 3 games remastered for ps5 I know it'd look dope af

Problem with infamous is the morality system played into the endings in all the games so even though the player gets a choice for good of bad ending a sequel typically has to chose one of those endings to make cannon which may not align with players.

However I would love another one of these games they were all amazing

God I hope so. I’d be down with a new character, maybe in somewhere not in the US, like put it in London, Prague, Venice, somewhere iconic.
