Why Sucker Punch added touch controls to Infamous: Second Son

Sucker Punch has utilized the PlayStation 4 hardware to do things it simply wasn't able to do on current-gen hardware, director Nate Fox told Polygon during Gamescom; things like realistic city-building and touch-based controls.

DarkBlood4654d ago

but its your job to ensure connor doesnt get touched by the 1-000 and the T-X at the same time, yep i just made your mission impossible :P problem?

dredgewalker4654d ago

@shuga
lol, its a Terminator reference. Connor as in John Connor.

humbleopinion4654d ago

Ignore him. He just escaped from the Pescadero State Hospital and is clearly delusional.

DarkBlood4654d ago

lol clearly i should of put "/s" in there or something but if your going to point guns at somebody look at what dirtypimp said instead :P

humbleopinion4653d ago

@DarkBlood
LOL, I guess people let the Terminator reference just fly over their head. And yours wasn't even as subtle as mine... I wonder how many people agreeing/disagreeing with my comment knew that Pescadero State Hospital is the fictional institute where Sarah Connor was administrated.

DarkBlood4653d ago

i forgot the name of the hospital but i knew exactly what you were saying lol

Dude, incest is wrong.

Oh wait, I misunderstood... :/

ZBlacktt4654d ago

Once again, the PS4 and DS4 Next gen at it's finest. It's like a whole new level of gaming!

FamilyGuy4654d ago

Lol, I like the idea of both thumbs on the touch pad for strangling stealth kills, that's pretty creative!

Spoons4654d ago

On N4G:

Touchpad=Sweet!
Kinect=lol gimmick teh cloudzzz

dredgewalker4654d ago

It's the proper implementation of a feature that makes it sweet and not a gimmick. What's the point in having a touchpad for the PS4 if isn't gonna be used?

RytGear4654d ago (Edited 4654d ago )

Because touchpads are already on everything anyway? Tracker pads and such whereas where else do we use kinect..

DragonKnight4654d ago

Kinect just sucks. Gimmick or not, it's terrible and everyone knows it but many don't want to admit it.

levian4654d ago

Except there's a difference. There is no added cost of the touchscreen to gamers. There is an added cost to the Kinect.

If the touchpad isn't even used, I don't really care, I didn't have to pay for it. If it's used, and used well, then great! I'd say the same for Kinect if they ever did something interesting with it.

DigitalRaptor4654d ago (Edited 4654d ago )

NDS and Vita have touch screens; so do most modern smart phones. Touch interface is proven, that it can compliment gaming in a subtle and inexpensive way, and ways that make sense and work.

The worth of camera motion sensing has been unproven for years and remains in a state of uncertainty and is fairly expensive.

Campy da Camper4654d ago

1) I don't have to wave my arms at the touchpad for it to work.
2) touchpad does not monitor my body temp and heart rate.
3) touchpad does not increase the cost of the console.
4) touchpad is optional.

Freaking great. Touchpad seems interesting. I'm glad developers are utilizing it.

Oh, and people! That power is called photokinesis (neon). I like that word, "photokinesis", haha. Can't wait for this game.

user74029314654d ago

blr is utilising the touch pad. there doing great things.

CaptainSheep4654d ago

Speaking of touch, bring inFAMOUS to Vita, please. :(

vigilante_man4654d ago

It is - but only via remote play!

Lord_Frieza4654d ago

sucker punch currently working on infamous second son but after its release who knows?? ;)

Pintheshadows4654d ago

I think the touchpad is a great addition to the DS4. Simple applications will be wonderful. It doesn't need to be overly complex.

RyuCloudStrife4654d ago

yeah it's just an add-on to the DualShock experience.

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

gold_drake674d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn673d ago

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.

Cacabunga672d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX673d ago

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. :)

thejigisup673d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992673d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack673d ago

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?

Pepsi_Man3000673d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx673d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty672d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125673d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc673d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies673d ago (Edited 673d ago )

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.

Tacoboto672d ago (Edited 672d ago )

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.

jznrpg672d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
