inFAMOUS Second Son Review | Codec Moments

Matt from Codec Moments writes: "Set 7 years after inFAMOUS 2 and with the world seemingly recovering from the events that transpired at the end of that game, Second Son starts a superhero story for a new generation, both in the game world and the hardware, in the form of not-so-reluctant hero Delsin Rowe. There’s no doubt that the game has received a lot of attention and has arrived in the middle of a game drought, so it’s pretty much guaranteed to sell well, but is it a worthy successor to the series that started on the PlayStation 3?"

POSSIBLE SPOILERS IN MY COMMENT!

Climbing mechanics are random?
I played all the games in the series as well and completed I:SS 3x over. I'm still playing the game. I have logged roughly 50hrs into this game and I barely did any climbing at all. That's what vents (Smoke Power), Running up the side of anything (Neon) and the 3rd power pretty much makes traveling irrelevant. When I did climb I didn't miss a grab. But since I am vet of the series, and a AC addict, climbing in these types of games is like second nature to me.

It plays too much like Infamous 2? Isn't that the point? What did you want it to play like? It's new characters, completely different story line, well acted, all new powers (which I thought were /are amazing), runs smoother than the previous installments. Oh well. To each his own I guess. For me it's a rock solid 9 and well deserving of it.

In my opinion it actually climbs better than most other titles. There are odd times when he doesn't "grab" but every single platformer I played has had this issue. AC is way worse with it.

The only real platforming issue I have is that some buildings have overhangs, and for some reason none of the powers will go around them. So Delsin just hits them and falls lol Sometimes the light power will go around, but not a lot.

I love that everyone is following suit, seeing all these 8's it almost seems as if nobody has the balls to say how the actually feel about the game. Game deserves more than just an 8.

DoomeDx4430d ago

I would give it an 8?

Its an amazing game but the story wasnt superb like infamous 1 & 2. And it lacks replay value. I already stopped playing it.

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_drake668d 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_corn667d 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.

Cacabunga666d ago

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

OtterX667d 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. :)

thejigisup667d ago

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

neutralgamer1992667d ago

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

RaidenBlack667d 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_Man3000667d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx667d ago

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

fr0sty666d ago

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

DivineHand125667d ago

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

DazaMc667d ago

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

ChasterMies667d ago (Edited 667d 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.

Tacoboto667d ago (Edited 667d 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.

jznrpg667d ago

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