Gamer Headlines writes: I recently got my eager hands on a demo of Infamous: Second Son at a retail preview event and I left with a distinct feeling that it won’t be the killer exclusive that the PS4 has been waiting for. With Titanfall due to hit rival platform Xbox One later this week, I was left wondering when the PS4 can expect to see its own exclusive that builds up a similar degree of hype and enthusiasm.
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
In a simple and concise post on Twitter, head of Respawn Entertainment Vince Zampella responded to fan requests for a Titanfall x Helldivers 2 crossover two love heart emojis, praising the idea.
Huzaifah from eXputer writes, "My favorite type of genre in games is when enemies are merely animal fodder in the eyes of the protagonist's sheer power."
It doesn't have one. But it does have inFamous Second Son and the upcoming graphical powerhouse The Order 1886.
"I left with a distinct feeling that it won’t be the killer exclusive that the PS4 has been waiting for"
That's cool, i respect your opinion. But pre order numbers, internet hype and gameplay itself say otherwise.
It's no Titanfall in terms of mass appeal (duh), but it's doing great, especially for a SP-only open world game and im sure it will be a big hit. Surely you're not basing this article on your own personal opinion on the demo you played? Not to be rude, but you're just one man.
Hundreds of thousands of people, including myself, are greatly anticipating this game. The pre order numbers speak for themselves.
Sony doesn't have one since they kind of haven't built one/their reasoning is different. The marketing force behind Titanfall has been immense. Since its unveiling Microsoft and EA have been driving this game home which the media has amplified. Sony has taken a vastly different approach with its PR.
PR is the key thing here. I hear Titanfall is a good game but would it have been as popular without the PR? I doubt it or it would have been a slow burner. Titanfall news/previews have been consistently reported for months now
You know, it's interesting. During the past gen, people were constantly asking "Where's the PS3's Halo, or Gears of War?"
They'd speculate the PS3 was doomed simply due to it's lack of 8 million unit software sellers. But it's not like it didn't have it's share of blockbusters. The Uncharted series would hit around 5 million each time and Gran Turismo 5 sold over 10 million copies. Hell, even LittleBigPlanet sold more than 5 million copies. Let that sink in for a second. A kid's platformer game broke 5 million. The 360 generally didn't see those kinds of numbers outside the shooter genre.
And that's the thing. The Playstation has always appealed to more than just the core gamers. While 360 user flocked to a specific genre, the PS3's hits were far more varied and spread out. Games like Heavy Rain could sell 2 million copies on the PS3 while games like Alan Wake, despite massive hype would struggle to move 1 million.
This made me smile a bit. "Sony could reclaim the console-crown from Microsoft..."
I don't know where this guy's been for the past 7 years, but Microsoft never had the "console crown". From the moment it had any competition whatsoever, it was outsold by both it's competitors.
The PS4 doesn't need that one "killer app" anymore than the PS3 did.
@Lukas. I think it was an earlyish (older?) demo. I cleared an area of gov goons, destroyed a backup van, then finished off a minigun boss with a screen-clearing move.
Just felt a bit limited. Neon power was really dull, one ranged laser attack was all Delsin had. Pressing circle to morph around (dodge) looked pretty cool though.
I've seen some better looking scenes in trailers etc, so why Sony have given this crappy-looking demos to stores to promote the game I'll never know. fingers crossed the trailers weren't bullshots.
