Why next-gen graphics matter for Infamous: Second Son

Sony's new PlayStation 4 affords developer Sucker Punch the opportunity to make its Infamous games better looking than ever. But the vast visual upgrade coming with Infamous: Second Son is more than just about throwing better looking particle effects and cool reflections onscreen, says producer Brian Fleming; it's equally meaningful to gameplay.

I can't wait for this game to drop, first post-launch purchase, guaranteed.

GarrusVakarian4554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

""solidly at 30 frames per second" on PS4, even when the action gets frantic."

More than happy with that. Considering its a game coming shortly after launch and considering its open world a solid 30fps is good, id take a solid 30 over a framerate that varies between 30 and 60fps any day.

duli144554d ago

Have they said anything about the resolution?

GarrusVakarian4553d ago

No, i presume its going to be 1080p though.

The_Ozymandias4553d ago

Yes they have, 1080P.

"At a confirmed 1080p resolution as well, Sucker Punch's latest is the most polished and CGI-like title on display."

Thx for providing that link Ozymandias.
I watched every video pumping myself up even more for the PS4. It seems that almost every game is 1080p on the PS4. Second Son looks and moves amazing. That game is simply staggering. IMO it's the best looking next gen game I've seen thus far.

MidnytRain4553d ago

I'd PREFER it to be a solid 60fps...

GarrusVakarian4553d ago

Of course, me too. But its not absolutely necessary in this type of game. Its a luxury.

SpinalRemains1384554d ago

Choosing Seattle as the games locale, was in itself a very bold move. The city is literally animated most of the time, what w/ rain and reflections everywhere. That's gotta make development more demanding before they even begin.

So far all reports are good though and I am very much looking forward to playing this game. I loved Cole as electric man, but I can adapt :P

strickers4554d ago

Didn't you see the rainy night street pic
Greg Miller posted? Incredible and only an iPhone pic.

SpinalRemains1384554d ago

I don't believe so, but I can imagine the game is riddled with scenery like that pic.

The world becomes animated when it rains and turns into a mirror when it stops.

AC5L4T3R4554d ago

I've tested this game, as recent as last week. I know the storyline and what happens and I can tell you, the graphics are nothing I haven't seen on a PC game 2-3 years ago. Obviously its a prototype, so they could get better. But The graphics are very crisp and no horrible jaggies, which has put me off console gaming ever since I've had the option to get rid of htem on my PC.

sourav934553d ago

You played it? Really? When and where?

MidnytRain4553d ago

"the graphics are nothing I haven't seen on a PC game 2-3 years ago."

The only reason you have disagrees. LMAO

DivineAssault 4553d ago

im kinda happy it got delayed so they can polish it up & make it right.. I dont want rushed products just for the sake of making launch day

sourav934553d ago

It never got delayed because it was never a launch title. It was always a 2014 title.

DivineAssault 4553d ago

Technically your right but it was assumed to be launching with it at the reveal & E3.. It was one of the main games they were showing besides KZ & Knack.. Like i said tho, i dont mind waiting, those 2 games will last me until it releases.. Along w the titles offered on PSN

That's more than fine. If you keep making one amazing quality game after another, with the low budget you've been utilising for games, then you'll continue to be extremly successful going forward. Don't take on a bigger load than you can handle comfortably.

Also, maybe it's time for a Sly Cooper game. No to Infamous, we've already got superhero games coming form Insomniac. Sorry Infamous fans but I want an open world Sly Cooper game.

Profchaos198d ago

Yotei is pretty incredible but I'd definitely love infamous to return to

Cacabunga197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

Wise decision by a very stupid PlayStation management this gen.
Now let Bend go 1st party too and explore some more Oregon

andy85198d ago

Im baffled how theyve made a game of this quality on this budget when worse games spend 5x that

chrisx198d ago

You're very right. Take a look at assassins creed shadows...GOY blows that game in every single department. The facial animations are leagues above shadows and also the combat and general mechanics. While on a smaller budget

Elda198d ago

I'd rather have a new Infamous game than a Sly Cooper game.

Redemption-64197d ago

Naaaaa, I like sly, but infamous is what they should do if they want to go back

Some studios function better that way.

northpaws197d ago

That's fine, will keep playing Legend 2 until their next game. Can't wait.

S2Killinit197d ago

Whatever they are doing, keep doing it.

Agent75197d ago

Have been watching vids of the game and my wife who doesn't play games, asked me why the baddies as she called them, don't seem to be fighting back much, like they're stood still. The AI is dire and this is yet another showcase game from Sony. Run about and explore with flash graphics. There's just no variety with Sony's games.

jznrpg210d ago

I started on hard for the first round with no modes changed. 2nd round I’ll do lethal with Kurosawa mode

Aloymetal210d ago

I was using that mode but the mud is too much for my liking, the extra blood is great but that mud...I think they went overboard with it lol.
