Infamous Second Son Review - VGFirst

Excerpt from the review:

"Among Sony’s highly regarded portfolio of intellectual property lies an under appreciated comic super hero, power rush of a game, Infamous. Despite previous entries in the series Infamous has never earned the critical acclaim it perhaps deserves. Always facing competition from arguably less compelling but more power-infused titles such as Crackdown and Prototype whom offer underdeveloped story concepts, alongside undeniably enjoyable power-fueled gameplay. Infamous has always contrasted these titles by offering a significantly more grounded super-hero in both a figurative and literal sense, with a strong focus on crafting a compelling, believable environment and plot. The resulting games, Infamous and Infamous 2 have perhaps fell slightly short of expectations, whilst narrative and plot has always been solid, previous titles can be boiled down to a little more than a third person shooter, where you fire lightening from your hands rather than bullets from your gun."

ColonelRex4439d ago (Edited 4439d ago )

I agree. And also, Infamous is easily the best next gen game so far.

Pintheshadows4439d ago

A pedestrian just told me I had more soul than Cole.

josephayal4439d ago

best graphics I've seen on the next gen systems so far

ltachiUchiha4439d ago

Thats the honest truth. I still can't believe Sucker Punch was able to pull this off. The game is so beautiful & so fun as hell.

josephayal4439d ago

I can't imagine how good PS4 Exclusives will look in the next years, Lil Big Planet, Uncharted4, Demon souls, GT7, etc etc etc..... this is just the beginning!

ltachiUchiha4439d ago

Yeah I agree, I mean we seen this last gen with ps3 exclusives always setting the bar higher & higher with each outing. I think it's safe to say we will see the same this gen but with drastic improvements. Naughty Dog is going to push the envelope to crazy heights where its going to be unbelievable when we see it with our own eyes.

MasterCornholio4439d ago (Edited 4439d ago )

The performance is impressive as heck though. I was expecting dips into the teens at the most intense sections yet it only drops to 27FPS which is perfectly acceptable in my opinion.

P.S This isn't troll bait just my honest opinion backed up by Eurogamers framerate analysis video.

NeoTribe4439d ago

Yeah, i went through the whole game without ever noticing a drop in performance. Pretty amazing really.

GuruMeditation4439d ago

Agreed, considering the intensity of some of the scenes and the accompanying particle counts, I was almost bracing myself for that sub-teen frame judder, which didn't arrive. So SP have done an amazing job keeping the frame rate smooth.

Sucker punch delivering the goods in MS'S backyard for a sony exclusive. Why Didn't ms want a developer this good right in Seattle is telling!

rbluetank4439d ago (Edited 4439d ago )

I love the new powers. I really liked Smoke until I used Neon. I really love Neon until I used Video. I really love Video until I used "Spoiler" "?power?". the game is a blast to play...

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_drake675d 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_corn674d 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.

Cacabunga674d ago

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

OtterX674d 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. :)

thejigisup674d ago

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

neutralgamer1992674d ago

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

RaidenBlack674d 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_Man3000674d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx674d ago

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

fr0sty674d ago

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

DivineHand125674d ago

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

DazaMc674d ago

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

ChasterMies674d ago (Edited 674d 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.

Tacoboto674d ago (Edited 674d 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.

jznrpg674d ago

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