inFamous 2 setting partly based on Atlanta

Ex: The comic-book inspired PS3 exclusive inFamous 2 moves from the New York City and Chicago-ish "Empire City" in the first game to the fictional city of New Morais which looks very much like New Orleans. However, the fictional setting wasn't just inspired by the Big Easy according to the developers.

A New York clone would be cities like Liberty City in GTA. The only similarity Empire City from inFamous bares to New York is it's Island setting and the fact that NY is often refered to as the Empire State. Other than that, they are wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide apart!

Queasy5779d ago

Probably better to call it a Chicago/New York-ish.

Atlanta has the most urban sprawl of any city in the U.S. Hopefully they will not attempt to recreate Atlanta too readily.

ATLRoAcH5779d ago

Obviously I think this is pretty awesome. It's nice to see your city in a game. The only other game I can think of that had Atlanta in it was Grind Session for the PSOne. I like that they came to the south for this game. It's a refreshing setting compared to the 99% of free roam games that are based on a New York style city.

A Cupcake for Gabe5779d ago

It's got that Cajun Vibe, mostly on New Orleans though. It's not a clone. This isn't GTA where they blatantly recreate real cities.

Also bubbles for mentioning GRIND SESSION, that was my favorite skateboard game next to the first two Proskaters. Brought me back for a sec, thanks.

Gish5779d ago (Edited 5779d ago )

Let's see if Cole makes it up to Vinings! (I will take buckhead too, as long as they recreate all the bars...)

CYCLEGAMER5779d ago (Edited 5779d ago )

You are missing a game, I remember like a year after I moved to Atlanta from L.A. one of the midnight club games had an Atlanta based level on it, I specifically remember driving the centennial olympic park.

Edit: ahh found it, it was Midnight Club 3: Dub edition.

Gish5779d ago

must have had to run over a lot of panhandlers to get through centennial...

TruEve5779d ago

That's pretty awesome :). I'm from Atlanta and can't remember a game ever being set or inspired by my city / state. I wonder what district of the A they were inspired by? Downtown, midtown?

---

Atlanta was in a Midnight Club? That sounds vaguely familiar lol.

ATLRoAcH5779d ago (Edited 5779d ago )

I forgot about Midnight Club you're right. I thought there was one I was forgetting.

(EDIT)
The article says it's likely that downtown Atlanta inspired a modern area in the game but it's the writers guess.

i rather have it based on no actual location, if it doesn't have any historical relevance, for me is just lack of imagination at the end

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot1122d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain1122d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast1121d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox1122d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake1122d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1511d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1511d ago (Edited 1511d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1511d ago (Edited 1511d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic1511d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider16241512d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231512d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201512d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1512d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891512d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic2175d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic2174d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish2174d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad2174d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan2175d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis2174d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17212174d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC2174d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking822174d ago (Edited 2174d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
