IGN - Infamous 2: Are New Powers Killing Cole?

IGN - When game companies drop a morsel of information on a 2011 release, IGN -- well, I, anyways -- pick it apart and begins hypothesizing on what it means. I did it with my theory on Black Mask being in Batman: Arkham City and my idea about the 450-year-old villain in Uncharted 3: Drake Deception. Now, I'm doing it with Infamous 2.

Shanks5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

With great powers comes great distractibility.

Pixel_Pusher5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

lol cheesy

@IGN

What the f^^k do you care you're just going to give 6.5/10 when it comes out. MS boot licking a-holes!

Electroshocked5522d ago

Ok, I hope this isn't another Red Dead Redemption, because I will cry.

Shok5523d ago

I think they are.

In that trailer, him and Zeke said something along the lines of (Zeke):"Half-way shorter," (Cole):"Twice as bright"

I think they're talking about his life.

Focker4205523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

Wouldn't be surprising. Just look at how terrible Kessler looked at the end of the last one.

metsgaming5523d ago

or it could be talking about the game itself. Half as long but twice as good? JK, cant wait for it !

awesomeperson5523d ago

Think it was half as long, but either way I'm pretty sure they are referring to his life (because he's holding the thing which will give him the power and he's about to drink it).

sorceror1715523d ago

@Focker420 - Well, Kessler looked bad at the end of the first game... but bear in mind he was older than Cole when he kicked Alden out of the First Sons when he was a kid, and in inFamous, Alden was an old man.

*New* powers might kill him... but if so, it's such a cliche. He'll "die", then come back for inFamous 3 with even more power.

Electroshocked5522d ago

What are you trying to say, that Kessler is old? Because I think we all know that...

sorceror1715521d ago

I'm trying to say that if powers made Cole age or die faster, Kessler wouldn't have lived that long.

Electroshocked5520d ago

What? Kessler looks old because he is old Cole from the future.

sorceror1715520d ago

Let's take it step by step. (1) Kessler got his powers either at the same age Cole did, or else later. (2) Sometime *after* that - years after, he had kids - the Beast arose, and Kessler fled. (3) Then, older than Cole, he jumped back in time. So far back Alden was a child. Before Cole was born. (4) Then he lived long enough for Alden to be an old man.

So... yeah, Kessler's old.

But he's also Cole. If having powers 'burns out' Cole faster, so he dies younger... then Kessler shouldn't have been able to live so long.

Follow it now?

showtimefolks5523d ago

atleast they are doing something new or atleast trying something new

when devs don't do anything new these reviewers bash those games when they do something new its not good enough

EVERYONE IS A CRITIC INFAMOUS 2 IS A MUST HAVE FOR 2011

MidnytRain5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

Your comment might not have been so ridiculous had you read the article. The author was referring to Cole's physical health, not the quality of the game.

Lavalamp5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

Um. But this isn't a bash over Infamous 2. The article throws out a theory on the negative effects that Cole's new-found powers will have on his body.

Edit - Totally ninja'd me.

"the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long"

it's a quote from the movie bladerunner.

LarVanian5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

Bubbles for you man (Blade Runner is my favourite movie).

On-Topic- I can't really see how Cole is dying. Kessler managed to live to a good old age, so why not Cole?

MidnytRain5523d ago

Is there a reference to Kessler's age? I don't remember. Despite his age, like Focker420 said, he looked pretty messed up in inFAMOUS. He might have found a way to live that Cole has not discovered.

metsgaming5523d ago

*SPOILERS*
well kessler wouldnt have attained these new powers because of the path he took of running away. Or he did attain them but to late to do anything about the beast.

NateCole5523d ago

Kessler didn't get these powers which current cole is getting.

Redempteur5523d ago

i think that going back in time by himself ( as implied in infamous cutscene ) being quite a burden whatever body you might have if we go by comic book stories standars

young juice5523d ago

they could be turning the mgs route and have coles age rapidly accelerate.

inFamous 3: We Want A Second Son Sequel

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

Alexious1094d ago

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

-Foxtrot1094d 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

lukasmain1094d ago

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

anast1093d 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.

masterfox1094d 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_drake1094d 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. "

Flawlessmic1485d ago (Edited 1485d 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.

Welshy1484d 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.

Flawlessmic1484d ago (Edited 1484d 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 👌

RedDevils1484d ago (Edited 1484d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1484d 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.

outsider16241484d ago

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

seanpitt231484d ago

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

Luc201484d ago

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

The_Hooligan1484d ago

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

moriarty18891484d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1484d ago (Edited 1484d ago )

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

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

A brand new version of the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, brings major graphical improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more.

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

Mr Logic2147d 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.

DethWish2147d ago (Edited 2147d 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 Logic2147d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish2147d 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

MadLad2147d 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?

anonymousfan2147d 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.

Melankolis2147d 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.

Harkins17212147d 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

EazyC2147d ago

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

Gamerking822147d ago (Edited 2147d 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 .
