inFAMOUS: Second Son: Particle and Performance Capture Tech Explained; Awesome Concept Art Revealed

nFAMOUS: Second Son is definitely one of the best looking games seen on consoles, if not the best, and Sucker Punch Productions hosted a series of panels at the Game Developers Conference explaining in-depth the “magic” (or better, technomancy) behind the beauty of the game.

I've never seen anything like it. Dem particles and dat facial animation! It's the current graphics champ on consoles. Emphasis on the word "consoles."

GarrusVakarian4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

The scene when you are talking to Betty when she is laying down on the bed gobsmacked me. The way her face moves and wrinkles up is so damn real.

As for particles, i have SO many screenshots of me drawing Neon power from sources. It's amazing to see each little particle flow into your hand. Here's one of my own screenshots -

Thanks for the new desktop pic

Bathyj4452d ago

We are very like minded Lukas. I also was amazed by Betty and the wrinkles around her mouth. Very lifelike. Some of Delsins and Franks facial animations was top notch too, helped by the incredible performances by the actors. Man I love Troy. The graphics arent quite photoreal, but there were times when you forget that for a second and you think there are actually human. Subtlety is what sells it.

I also have a plethora of amazing neon drawing shots. I only wish your neon powers would reflect the colour you drew from. That would be a cool other dimension, searching out yellow or green or blue signs so you could fight with that colour. Purple is probably the last colour I would pick even though it is awful pretty.

This game looks amazing, those faces expression where really good. But the game felt short for me at least, there was almost nothing to do in the game I already got platinum on it.

Shad0wRunner4452d ago

If you already got the plat....then there was plenty that you have done. The side missions, finding all the shards, Cole's missions, paper trial mission, clearing the cities of the DUP forces, maxing out all the powers. And that's not even all. Theres plenty to do in 2nd Son.

But hey, if you already did everything...congrats. That's why people say take your time with it and dont rush thru it in a couple days. Cuz once youve done everything, youre pretty much done. Until they start adding some DLC.

mkis0074452d ago

Now you have the raids to do...I think they are never ending

DoomeDx4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

Side missions and finding all the shards didnt take me more then 2 / 3 hours.

Cole & paper trails are not needed for the 100%

Shad0wRunner4452d ago

DoomeDx

I call BS on that statement. Sorry. Even the most experienced gamer, hopped up on speed and tweaking balls....cannot finish ALL side missions and find ALL shards in 2nd Son, in 2-3 hours. Hell, the first 2-3 hours you start the game doesnt put you anywhere NEAR completing all of that.

Either I misunderstood what you meant...or youre full of it.

EcoSos34452d ago

Well in 4 hours I already had about 45% done and no you don't need cole's or paper trail missions to 100%. Also there's no thropies for getting all the power ups or maxing them out. I'm not joking check my profile the game only has like 40 thropies and like only one is gold. My PSN name is EcoSos3.

Great graphical game! Enjoyed every minute of it.

To bad there isnt much replay value though :/ I already finished it 100% on good karma in less then 7 hours.

Doing my bad karma now.

Amazing, yet very short game

Shad0wRunner4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

Actually, 2nd Son is a game of average length. MGS Ground Zero's is a "very short game"...in comparison.

Im beginning to think today's gamer has become too picky and too entitled; always wanting more, always expecting more. Never satisfied and always something to bitch about.

Bathyj4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

How do you get 100% in 7 hours. I played that much on my first day and I think I only got neon. If youre completing the game in that time, let alone getting 100% I think we have very different playstyles, and you might be missing the point of having an open world game to explore.

Shad0wRunner4452d ago

Exactly, Bathyj!

Couldnt agree more. I played same as you. Took me about the same ammount of time, too. I wasnt just gunning for the main story missions, to beat the game as fast as I could. I took the time to explore, have a look around the city. I also went after the shards and upgraded my powers before going to the next story based mission. IDK why anyone would just fly thru the game with only one power. I had the first 3 nearly maxed by the time I beat it and got concrete. Having 3 upgraded powers to rely on was a lot easier than being limited to just one, thru the whole game.

I also took the time to clear the cities of the DUP forces and doing some side missions before moving on to the next story mission. So because I chose to do all the stuff in between...my playthru took a lot longer than some of these speed freaks, out there.

So yeah, I agree...I dont think people are playing the game, right...the way it was intended to be played. Just breezing thru it as fast as you can, is a pretty lame playthru.

Just sayin...

Boody-Bandit4452d ago (Edited 4452d ago )

Bathyj

It took me a few days of a lot of gaming hours to beat the game on my 1st play through. Mind you I didn't rush and had Delsin nearly sharded (LOL I sharded my pants) out for the ending. My guesstimation is it took me roughly 20hrs of gameplay to complete the game.

Like you said, it's open world and I enjoyed the game. This game is too damn good to speed run through it. I call BS on some of these guys and their claims. It's not like Infamous has a time tracker.

Hey it's the internet. I was only kidding.
I actually beat the game x2 in 10hrs and got platinum. /s

Bathyj4452d ago

Yeah I guestimate about 20 hours too. I did it in 4 sittings and had very little sleep that weekend.

And while I didnt what the kids call "speedrun", in no way was I dawdling. I couldnt put the game down and I was always pushing to get the next power so I would guess anyone really taking their time would have taken even longer.

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_drake684d 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_corn683d 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.

Cacabunga682d ago

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

OtterX683d 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. :)

thejigisup683d ago

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

neutralgamer1992683d ago

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

RaidenBlack683d 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_Man3000683d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx683d ago

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

fr0sty682d ago

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

DivineHand125683d ago

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

DazaMc683d ago

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

ChasterMies683d ago (Edited 683d 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.

Tacoboto683d ago (Edited 683d 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.

jznrpg682d ago

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