When I first sucked up Neon energy and saw the particle effects I was completely blown away.

guitarded774422d ago

No joke... the neon power made me poop a little. Took about 100 screens of the lighting and particles.

Y'all making me wanna play it....so see ya, back later :)

crusf4423d ago

Easiest platinum you will ever earn friend.

cbuc11254423d ago

Everybody keeps saying this but it is not true. It may not be hard to Platinum Infamous Second Son, but it is definitely not easier than The Walking Dead. All you have to do is finish the game to get the platinum.

BlackTar1874422d ago

100 or more games with alot easier Platinum.

+ what was the point of you saying this?

Troll much?

crusf4422d ago

@Blacktar Just trying to make a point that it is easy to get platinum no need to make something out of it. Calm down please.

guitarded774422d ago

I've had easier, but the goodness of the game makes it a joy to earn. So glad they marked the shards this time. I nearly rage killed myself looking for the last shard in the first inFAMOUS.

BlackTar1874422d ago

No a big deal. Just pointless.

Pretty sure it was a snide remark anyways since i don't think you could find someone to read that in anyway but a cut towards the game.

Sorry not a big deal but it literately i mean 100% makes zero sense the way you posted it.

jerethdagryphon4422d ago

sorry but that honor goes to terminator salvation

but 2nd son is fun

I thought the games enviroments were superb, lighting and the reflections really added to the games visual spectacle but I couldnt help but think the character models in that games were kind of mediocre...

Examples:

Considering there was motion capture involved of the characters faces and the lip sync is great but just the actual face models to me looked a bit plain and bland in comparison to the rest of the games great visuals...

Edsword4423d ago

I couldn't disagree more. The facial animation and models looked great.

Illusive_Man4423d ago

It's okay to admit that they were less than stellar which would be true. Character models are high poly, but the sense of realism is not there due to flat textures and unrealistic skin lighting.

GarrusVakarian4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

lol @ illusiveman

"flat textures and unrealistic skin lighting."

Lol, here are 2 of my own screenshots-

Stellar enough for you? Try actually playing the game before bashing it.

Shane Kim4422d ago

One look at illusivemans comment history shows that he is a rabid xbox defender. His comments are invalid.

Cueil4423d ago

yeah... there are tons of surfaces without reflections at all... like the trophy case in the tribes main building at the beginning after you mean the main antagonist (no spoilers) or in the first tunnel vs gang with guns where you have no shadows despite the lights. They draw shadows based on time of day. It's a trade off to get all the other cool stuff in and keep the frame rate up.

HaydenJameSmith4423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

@Edsword
The facial animation and models are okay at best...

Here is a last gen character model
Trevor from GTA 5:

Infamous SS Character Model
Augustine, main villain:
http://wethenerdy.com/wp-co...

There's not a big difference except for resolution and both are comparable open world games, so for a next gen game there character models are not that impressive, I was just expecting better. This is not to say there bad but as Cueil said I guess there had to be some trade offs to achieve the environmental visual effects and stuff...

@Cueill
Agreed I noticed the tunnels had no shadows even with the lights...

morganfell4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

Good job! A low res jpeg really helps to demonstrate your point. Congratulations are certainly in order. You did an excellent job and we all can see what you were aiming to accomplish.

HaydenJameSmith4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

Its not that low res and it was to just demonstrate that the character models in Infamous SS look like last gen game character model...

And your pathetic attempt at trying to degrade me and my own opinion is quite pathetic... im aloud to make my own criticisms, you dont have to agree with them but I was just unimpressed with the character models in Infamous SS but besides that everything else looked amazing...

And resolution doesnt just make a game look better just clearer/sharper... doesnt just make ur games graphics sumtin there not so pointing out that there not high res pictures doesnt mean anything... pathetic...

@kingPoS
I didnt just mean the NPCs I just thought the game in generals character models were quite mediocre is comparison to the rest of the games visuals...

kingPoS4422d ago

I think you mean the NPC's right? They most always receive less lesser attention to detail than the main characters.

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_corn675d 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..

OtterX675d 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

RaidenBlack675d 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.
