During a Sucker Punch panel at PAX 10 last week, the developers talked about the countless iterations Infamous went through until the final product shipped.
Starting January 1, longtime creative and technical leaders Jason Connell and Adrian Bentley will step into new roles as studio heads, continuing to guide the team’s focus on ambitious, character-driven experiences that define PlayStation Studios.
Ghost of Yotei can be followed up with spin-offs, confirms the Creative Directors at Sucker Punch Productions.
Kind of surprising because I don’t know how they’d do spin offs given that they are now making each new game about a different Ghost. When you spin off it’s usually about a different character or location but they are already doing that here.
Only thing I can think of is Jin making a return with a direct follow up to Tsushima and then eventually Yotei will get the same treatment.
*shudder*
I didn’t think about live service
As for Legends, I think doing it as an update after launch for the current game is a better way than a separate game entirely
I think people are throwing around the word spin-off without really knowing what it means. As far as I know, or maybe this is just my interpretation, but a spin-off is something that features someone who was already introduced in a main entry.
So in my mind, Ghost of Yotei is it's own standalone entry in an anthology. Whereas a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off would be if we got something like a game, novel, comic or series focusing on Yuna, Kenji, Tomoe or some other character from the game.
That’s how I’d understand it. I thought they’d go back to Jin though. Imo his story needs a sequel.
I mean or you could make a new Sly Cooper, InFamous, or new IP and not milk this series...
So Ghost of Yotei is milking the series... but making a new Sly Cooper or Infamous isn't?
I believe his point is that both series have been gone long enough where regardless of how many entries there are, he (and others) miss the franchise and wouldn't feel like it's considered "milking" due to the massive time gap.
When a gameplay style or characters are gone for so long, its only natural to want to see it return, right?
Mix it up, don't just pigeon hole yourself to make only samurai games, toss in some variety. But if Sucker Punch doesn't want to do that, so be it.
We have had 4 sly cooper games (not including the collection), 3 infamous games (not including the spin-off first light) and so far only 2 ghost games so i wouldn't really call it milking the series. Now, i wouldn't mind also getting another sly or infamous game though.
So, they’re not going to work on different things? Just Ghost and spin-offs for years to come? Please don’t Ass Creed this IP
Feels like Sony's thing lately studio struck gold and 10 years later they are still toiling away at the same IP tlou and horizon two of the biggest examples
Sucker Punch rejuvenated the superhero genre with Infamous, a series that focused on the pure fun of wielding destructive powers.
Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy
I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.
It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.
This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around
Hoverboards?
lol the one thing I was hoping to see in IF was Cole having the ability to make a hoverboard out of electricity for fast ground movement.
I think that would be cool!
I would have loved to see those...too bad.
Can't get the video to work :( did they say if the features were coming on Infamos 2?
i kinda wish he did have dreads
