Infamous: First Light Review - 8BitChimp

8BitChimp says, "I’ve been a fan of the Infamous franchise for quite a number of years now. I played the first two games on the PS3 both as a hero and a villain. I also played the excellent downloadable Infamous: Festival of Blood. As for the PS4, Infamous: Second Son was the driving force behind me getting the new system."

yeah that's way too high of a score, buthey it's yours so that's fine. Nice written review though

Enemy4290d ago

Opinions, how do they work.

Mikefizzled4290d ago

How can our opinions be opinions if they aren't facts?

Man_Marmalade4290d ago

I don't know, man. I don't know.

SoapShoes4290d ago

Really? Maybe but I just got done playing it and I enjoyed it more than Second Son. Great game, especially for the price.

come_bom4290d ago

LOL. These reviews from completely unknown web sites are a bit suspicious.

GarrusVakarian4290d ago (Edited 4290d ago )

What? So only reviews from well-known websites are to be trusted? The opinions of these people aren't as important as other peoples, just because their site isn't as well known as IGN or Eurogamer, for example?

What an incredibly stupid thing to say. Working for a small/ lesser-known publication doesn't nullify your opinion. People are people, and opinions are opinions, regardless of who they write for.

xHeavYx4290d ago

@Lukas
Of course reviews are only valid from well-known websites, like Kotaku... Oh, wait...

Enemy4290d ago (Edited 4290d ago )

Someone enjoyed a game more than some others did. Suspicious!

Edit: Don't bring logic into an argument, Lukas!

Kingdomcome2474290d ago

I, in all honesty would lean towards trusting the little guy more, as opposed to the larger sites. I, see less chance of the said review being tainted by politics, or financial interests. That's just me personally though.

Noahmtodd4290d ago

Exactly kingdomcome247.

mikeboccher4289d ago

yeah, maybe we should stick to sites like Polygon and Kotaku who buy reviews.........

Speak_da_Truth4290d ago

All I know is I'm enjoying this game no matter what reviews say. I think it's well worth $14.99 that's less than some games(MGSV Ground Zeroes $40) yet it has a decent story lenght plus side stuff.

shammgod4290d ago

i like some of the subtle changes they made. Mini map changes, changes when you gain a skill point. I also like the way they added the arena and how it integrates into the game. I am only about an hour deep.

Also, like Second Son, the game looks amazing!

Noahmtodd4290d ago

I'm about the same amount into it as you and I for sure agree with you. I like the subtle changes.

LazyGoron4290d ago

Wow can't believe I didn't know until just now that there's no morality system? Does this mean I don't have to play the game twice with the only difference being scripted scenes?

(SPOILERS - Second Son)
Although Delsin destroying the tribe after his brother was dead at the villain saga was awesome :)
(END SPOILERS)

I've never played 1/2 though of this series... Are they worth it? How do they compare to second son? Are they all open world? Second son had the easiest plat I've ever got, the same for 1/2?

Noahmtodd4290d ago

They're all open world. I personally enjoyed 2 more than 1 gameplay wise and such however the story is better in 1. If you have time, I'd for sure recommend playing through them.

LazyGoron4290d ago

Thank you, the dual disc is $13 on amazon... pretty good deal but I can probably find a used copy for cheaper.

Going to try them out.

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.

Cacabunga675d 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?

fr0sty675d 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.

jznrpg675d ago

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

None of these worth buying in this "sale". These can be found on disc for much less.

Xaevi2287d ago

Sucks they don't put infamous at 7$ like they used to. I got Bloodborne for 7 bucks years ago too. Once they make the Hit List they don't go lower than 14 it seems

rolando1232287d ago

yeah this is true but i totally think Second Son and First Light for 30 bucks or whatever is a fantastic deal. Two great platinum trophies too!

Sony’s best-selling Infamous series did X-Men games better than the actual X-Men

For decades, superheroes had the worst luck when it came to video games, the X-Men chief among them. There are a few welcome outliers—Raven Software’s X-Men Legends duology remains a classic, Wolverine’s game adaptation for his first solo movie has its silly charm, and you can still find the classic beat-’em-up cabinet in arcades everywhere—but there are more lows than highs, from Mutant Wars and X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, to the franchise’s last big stab at mainstream gaming respectability, 2011’s X-Men: Destiny. Sluggish and overwrought, the latter seemed to be the kiss of death for Marvel’s mutants, the precursor to their eventual fate years before they were kicked out of Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite. (Getting left out in the cold during Marvel’s big purchase by Disney probably didn’t help.)

When you find out that Kessler is Cole. Mind blown. It was so awesome

Nitrowolf22545d ago

Yeah I really wasn’t expecting that at all, loved it though and made me feel bad for him

Shame cause I thought 2 feel flat in comparison was hoping it’d be set up for us to fail and having to travel back as Kessler.

Easily could have made three focused around getting cole out of that loop.

AspiringProGenji2545d ago

Ah Infamous 2, such a well made game. I miss playing it and would love a remaster. Many people had issues with the story, but I myself enjoyed it. Maybe if I get back and play it I might realize why, but god damn I loved the game

hebewanif2544d ago

my roomate's step-mother makes $72 every hour on the computer . She has been out of a job for six months but last month her check was $13623 just working on the computer for a few hours.

use *Spoiler Alert* next time.

Zeke682544d ago

It's a PS3 title, no need for spoiler tags....
Spolier alert Dr No is the bad guy in the first James Bond movie with the same name from 1962 end spolier alert
How long should it go on in your opinion? 😉

SCW19822544d ago (Edited 2544d ago )

Really? It came out 10 years ago. I think we are past needing spoiler warnings at this point.

lelo2play2544d ago

We shouldn't call them X-Men... feminists don't like it.

Zeke682544d ago

X-(Wo)men *fixed it*
Off topic: northern Sweden and we got 28C in the shadow, damn, my beer is cold for 1 minute and then boiling hot hehe
🥵😎🤘

zsquaresoff2545d ago

Sony needs to remaster both infamous games for ps4/5. Incredible games with pretty easy platinum trophies.

thatguyhayat2544d ago

Infamous 1 looking for the shards was a b*tch.

SamPao2544d ago

yeah that was indeed annoying :D

Silly gameAr2544d ago (Edited 2544d ago )

That was the only trophy I didn't get because it glitched out on me. I have Infamous 2 and Second Son Platinum trophy, but can't get that Infamous 1 plat. That always bugged me.

The_Hooligan2543d ago

The one that gave me hard time was killing 3 people at once by making them fall from a high place. That stunt was a bitch lol. But i really enjoyed the first two infamous games. I need to play second son though.

AspiringProGenji2545d ago (Edited 2545d ago )

I've actually thought the same thing and how Sucker Punch can expand this IP and have their own Xmen. I wish we get an sequel to Infamous 2's bad ending which gave everyone affected by the blast super powers

CBaoth2544d ago

Sucker Punch screwed the series by choosing the "good" ending as canon. Infamous 3 could've been exquisite if Cole ***SPOILERS*** had wiped out 7 billion on the planet. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, Cole should've been the antagonist or at the very least a tortured soul seeking redemption as he became the Beast. Far more interesting concept with intriguing story arcs but they played it safe with banal tropes of the modern political climate.

Andy_Dee2544d ago

Yeah I really enjoyed the first and second one. Never before had I played a game that was like this.

A new experience and the for me as a new fan!
