Can't wait for this game.

Does anyone know if the neon power will have melee? The ash/fire has the Ghost Rider chain (as i call it), what will neon have?

Garethvk4495d ago

I am not sure as I only got to use the chain, the power blasts and the dive bomb. We had video but Sony made us take it down. It was a pain as the guy on site knew we were filming and then marketing said there were to many direct shots of the screen as they want off screen shots with people in the screen. To me this seems odd as you would think they would prefer nice and sharp video centered on the screen but oh well.

Patrick_pk444494d ago

In terms of visuals, was there a big difference from footage shown from their first promoted gameplay, or does it look identical to hands on gameplay?

Omar914495d ago

@ Garethvk: Seems like you played the game so this question is direct towards you if you don't mind, How did you feel the enemy AI played? Based off the videos I've seen the AI doesn't seem very intelligent. I know the past Infamous games never had amazing AI, but I was hoping for a smarter group of enemies to strengthened the gameplay in Infamous.

What did you think?

Garethvk4495d ago

For me it was more of a swarming approach. There were tons of guards and they tended to fire at me from all angles. While they did not go out of their way to dive for cover and such like the ones in F.E.A.R. did they had some challenge. I remember ducking behind a shield to recharge and they flanked me and continued the attack. They also drove me to towers and elevated firing positions. So while at times challenging I would not say they were any better or any worse than most game enemies.

GarrusVakarian4495d ago

"I remember ducking behind a shield to recharge and they flanked me and continued the attack."

Good to know they will keep us on our toes and that we will have to choose our hiding places/recharge places wisely.

Eonjay4495d ago

Nice preview. Sucker Punch said their favorite powers include one that haven't been announced yet. Have you received any indication as to what those powers may be?

Garethvk4495d ago

Not yet. It was tricky as they did not tell us what any of the controls were as I had to figure it out in game. I was able to get the pulse, the chain, and the glide down but for the power dive and leach they had to tell me. I believe they are saving that until later. what I saw when playing was amazing though.

Omar914495d ago

Awesome! thanks bubbles up!

^^^ Buy or no buy shouldn't even be a question. With Sucker Punch's track record, new hardware, and the footage we've seen Infamous: Second Son screams buy to me!

Edit: I can't believe I replied to the other comment when I could have obviously replied to his. Please ignore that. Lol.

Looks like this game is going to be awesome

webeblazing4495d ago

i doubt ai will be any different from last gen and other games. i love infamous tho, the ai is always more aggressive than other games tho. cant wait to try it. i liked the 1st infamous the most, the second imfamous missions didnt have you into it(cant think of perfect word for it) like the 1st one did

Conzul4494d ago

Yeah infamous ai is usually pretty aggressive and street smart but not TOO bright, especially when on rooftops.

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_drake661d 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_corn661d 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.

Cacabunga660d ago

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

OtterX661d 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. :)

thejigisup660d ago

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

neutralgamer1992660d ago

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

RaidenBlack661d 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_Man3000660d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx660d ago

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

fr0sty660d ago

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

DivineHand125660d ago

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

DazaMc660d ago

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

ChasterMies660d ago (Edited 660d 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.

Tacoboto660d ago (Edited 660d 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.

jznrpg660d ago

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