'InFamous: Second Son' has combat that's incredibly better than previous games

One of the most anticipated PS4 titles has got to be InFamous: Second Son and given the amount of time and hard-work Sucker Punch has put into this next game, it's sure to be one that blows people away from a visual and gameplay standpoint.

Recently, Sucker Punch founder Brian Fleming talked how difficult the early stages of the game's development was as well as the improvements the studio has made to InFamous: Second Son's combat.

Can't wait to see this myself, hopefully every power has it's own set of melee combos.

" hopefully every power has it's own set of melee combos."

That's what im hoping too, but i haven't seen any videos showing a neon melee attack. Maybe Delsin could have neon fists and every time he punches a neon shockwave comes off with particles everywhere, that would be awesome.

ZodTheRipper4495d ago

Definately, melee was awesome in Infamous 2 already

Can't wait to see why they even call it "incredibly better" now.

Irishguy954495d ago

I believe the neon melee attack...was the neon sprint thing? In a recent interview we were told the controls. In smoke mode it's chain melee, in Neon mode it's the sprint? Or maybe i'm wrong, however I think the powers vary even more than we currently know

Lboogieskells4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

Neon melee attack replaced with sprint action. But I have hopes for the other powers . The more melee the better.

pedrof934495d ago

I just found out, this game is a TPS ? Isn't it ?

FamilyGuy4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

Oh man, it'd be like the final fight scene in The Last Dragon when Sho Nuff and Leroy get "The Glow" lol

I'd melee all damn day if that happens!

Sho nuff (bad ass) http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Leroy http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Lord_Sloth4494d ago

@ pedrof93

Yes and no. You can go full on shooter if you like or you can melee everything as you see fit OR mix it up for Maximum carnage.

UltimateMaster4494d ago

Really? Because I tough i2 and Festival of Blood had some of the best Game play of any action game out there including the Batman Arkam "series".

Bathyj4493d ago

Family guy, you must be old like me to remember that movie. Bruce Leroy.

I hope they give us a demo before the game drops. SP gave us demos with infamous 1 & 2.

trenso14495d ago

to me from the video i saw the neon power looked like his regular ones just purple unless someone can point me to a video where there is a distinct difference between the two powers.

FamilyGuy4495d ago

You haven't seen his neon flash step? Where he runs up walls and literally runs through the air super fast and looking like The Flash?

trenso14492d ago

yes but to me that is like his air dash with the fire powers just that he is running in the air instead of turning into a smoke of burning ash.

CrossingEden4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

Neon doesn't have melee combos according to the recent demo impressions. I REALLY am hoping that it does in the final game. One other thing i'm worried about is that in the demos there was no option to manually switch powers like in the old game, the only way to switch powers so far is to absorb it.

GarrusVakarian4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

The only way to switch is to actively go and search for that power, you can't just switch. I think the devs wanted to add some challenge. But you need to go and find power sources anyway because you have to refill your powers, so it's no that bad. According to the video's we have seen there seems to be plenty of sources to choose from.

I think the reason why they haven't shown any other areas in the gameplay vids/trailers is because we might see the other power sources and thus spoil the powers.

FPSRUSSIA4495d ago

from what i have seen i don't doubt it for a second March cant come soon enough.

WeAreLegion4495d ago

I don't think I've seen someone use "incredibly better", but I'll take it!

Shakengandulf4495d ago

You incredibly better take it. :)

Meltic4495d ago

i Think the Powers is Neon, smoke. Meaby water Powers? from the river or something fountains drain Power there?. Some Lightning from lights and Buildings. Meaby gravity Power?. Would be cool

WeAreLegion4495d ago

I think the water powers will allow him to walk on water, which is why Nate Fox said the last thing we'd want to do in Second Son is swim. ;)

Also, I'd just switch "gravity" to "telekinesis".

fenome4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

March 21st needs to hurry up and get here!

The article actually stopped me from reading it and told me that if I wanted to continue I would have to watch an advertisement. I don't care if they're littered around the page, but don't interrupt me when I'm halfway through reading an article to try to sell me stuff, it's just rude.

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_drake677d 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_corn677d 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.

Cacabunga676d ago

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

OtterX677d 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. :)

thejigisup676d ago

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

neutralgamer1992676d ago

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

RaidenBlack677d 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_Man3000677d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx676d ago

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

fr0sty676d ago

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

DivineHand125677d ago

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

DazaMc676d ago

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

ChasterMies677d ago (Edited 677d 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.

Tacoboto676d ago (Edited 676d 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.

jznrpg676d ago

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