Still Playing: Infamous: Second Son – why it’s impossible to create a truly anti-authoritarian game

Edge: Delsin Rowe, hero of Infamous: Second Son, is a dangerous man. His denim cutoff jacket alone probably makes him one of the most dangerous men alive. If you told him to go to bed at eleven, he’d stay up until quarter to twelve – at the earliest. As Rage Against the Machine said, he definitely won’t do what you tell him.

Unless someone lights up an icon on the map for him to head towards. Or tells him to collect all the blast shards scattered around the map. Or sets him any kind of arbitrary task to open up the next section of the game. In that case, if you asked him to jump, he’d not only say “how high?” but politely point out that his concrete superpower allows a double jump.

There’s a certain conflict, then, between Second Son’s anti-authority themes, and its rigid design. Delsin may flout society’s rules with his satirical graffiti, but the game asks you to adhere to those same rules by helping the game’s antagonists, militarised oppression-cops the DUP, bust drug dealers – helpfully flashing up on screen that drugs are illegal and harmful in case you wondered why you were doing your sworn enemies’ jobs for them.

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_drake677d 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_corn676d 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.

Cacabunga676d ago

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

OtterX676d 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. :)

thejigisup676d ago

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

neutralgamer1992676d ago

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

RaidenBlack676d 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_Man3000676d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx676d ago

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

fr0sty676d ago

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

DivineHand125676d ago

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

DazaMc676d ago

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

ChasterMies676d ago (Edited 676d 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.

Tacoboto676d ago (Edited 676d 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.

jznrpg676d ago

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