Sequel Showdown: Infamous vs. Infamous 2

Infamous: Second Son is just about ready to hit store shelves, and we couldn’t be more excited. Not only is it shaping up to be the first real big Playstation 4 exclusive, a game that captures that undefinable “next gen” quality, but it’s the next installment in one of the best franchises from last generation.Infamous and Infamous 2 weren’t the most significant PS3 exclusives, with things like the God of War and Uncharted series being the real heavy hitters, but they were two of the most enjoyable open world games available on any console.

Let’s examine every aspect and see which game will hopefully be dethroned as the best Infamous game when Second Son is released.

No contest. Infamous 2 was much better.

Irishguy954425d ago

It's no contest at all, towards the end the gameplay of I1 got repetitive. Although the story was definitely better in 1. Towards the end of I2 the gameplay was better than anything from either game

Baccra174425d ago

Infamous 1 was superior. Better story, better endings, better environments and use of terrain, and far better morality system.

The only thing Infamous 2 had was graphics and combat system- that's it. The powers lacked imagination, the morality system was an utter joke, and a large part of the terrain was underwater due to a flood. The only thing good Infamous 2 gave us was Festival of Blood.

Sevir4425d ago

I think they both were amazing, Both narratives were strong, and the environments were good for traversal. Infamous 2 pulls ahead in graphics, presentation and gameplay. I2 was less repetitive and had much better combat, and the mission structure was less repetitive and the morality system was stronger as well as the endings... The evil and good endings for infamous were slight variations of each and hardly worth playing twice as the basically ammounted to prepping for the beast.

Infamous 2's endings were variously different and with interesting twist with the characters you met! Kuo and Nix displayed the blur in morality that wasn't present at all I'm the previous chapter.

While amazing games in their own right Infamous 2 is the better game. Hands down the best of the series!

Second Son looks to blow this out of the water, and Troy Baker will make this such a joy to watch the story unfold... Can't wait to get this game on Friday!

Infamous 1 the better game period and infamous 2 had better mechanics (obviously)...

They both had amazing intros but I2s story was so boring and broken I just want to get it over with. The multiple changes in character designs, voice actors, gameplay and story made it feel like a completely different series. They tried to tack on online component that was near pointless and the moral system were pretty funky. The combat was I2s on high point.

I hope to see a reappearance from the Voice of Truth from Infamous 1

Infamous 2 won all the points, but InFamous 1 is still a great game

Paul854425d ago

Infamous 2 was my favorite eagerly anticipating second son!!!

nope1114425d ago

inFamous 1 all the way. Better twist and better setting.
inFamous 2 had a sucky setting that ruin the game for me.

Beastforlifenoob4424d ago

Yeah Infamous 1 was a more dark game... Really loved the feel of it. But not downplaying 2 that was also an awesome game and Second Son seems to overtake both

Dark114425d ago

Infamous 1 was the better game.

Ilovetheps54425d ago

InFamous 1's, setting was just so much better. New Marais just wasn't as fun. It wasn't terrible, but not as good as inFamous 1s setting. Also the storyline of the first was much better. The twist was a lot more shocking whereas I didn't care about the second game's twist. It was just a more enjoyable experience overall. InFamous 2 was a fun game as well, but I just didn't think it was as good as the first.

PSVita4425d ago (Edited 4425d ago )

Better: story, voice actor, environment, villains, etc etc.

I think you really had to play I1 when it released to appreciate how ahead of it time it was.

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_drake651d 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_corn650d 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.

Cacabunga649d ago

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

OtterX650d 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. :)

thejigisup650d ago

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

neutralgamer1992650d ago

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

RaidenBlack650d 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_Man3000650d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx650d ago

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

fr0sty649d ago

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

DivineHand125650d ago

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

DazaMc650d ago

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

ChasterMies650d ago (Edited 650d 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.

Tacoboto650d ago (Edited 650d 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.

jznrpg650d ago

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