IGN: Infamous 2: Second Opinions

Colin Moriarty writes:

"It's no secret: I love Infamous 2. I gave it a 9.0 and an Editor's Choice award, and proclaimed on the most recent episode of Podcast Beyond that it's my favorite game of the year so far. But with a slew of other editors in the office playing the game, I figured I'd reach out to them to see what they thought of it."

BakedGoods5436d ago

Good article. After platting Infamous 2, I feel the first one was much, much better. I2 was bigger and more show-ey, but the 'cool superhero sandbox' feel has kinda worn off. Not to mention the story was no where near as good as Infamous 1.

LOGICWINS5436d ago

I haven't played Infamous 1 yet..the download takes FOREVER on my Internet speed, but Infamous 2, in my opinion, is the best story I've ever played through in a PS3 exclusive.

The overall package has issues, but judging only on story, pacing, and characters, I'd give it a 5/5.

Montrealien5435d ago

I don't know, finding out that Kessler was your future self in Infamous 1 was pretty epic. They can't top that in infamous 2 sadly, well not in my opinion at least.

The first Infamous was a great game with an amazing story. Infamous 2 is an amazing game with a great story,

@Montrealien:
You might want to lay off the blatant spoilers. I'm sure certain people would appreciate it.

Montrealien5435d ago

Dark Vader is also Lukes father...

I mean seriously? a 2 year old game has spoilers? I would have to assume that a place called News 4 Gamers would have gamers who play and complete good games, and if they have not finished one of 2009s best games by now, they are officially off the spoiler protection program, sorry.

eldeladi5436d ago

I thought Infamous 2 is a was just as good as the first.

Serjikal_Strike5436d ago

The only thing I didnt like about part 2 is that they made finding the blast shards way too easy this time...

I actually found them all before completing the game on my first playthrough...

currently playing with Evil Cole to get my platinum

"The only thing I didnt like about part 2 is that they made finding the blast shards way too easy this time... "

And that's a bad thing why? People did complain about finding them was too hard... Now it's too easy?!

NeoBasch5435d ago (Edited 5435d ago )

lol No, the original's story was merely okay. The ending was superlative, but that doesn't make up for the meh of the first fifteen hours. The story is much better in the sequel. So much better! Acting is better. There's more emotion on screen. Has a better script. Better characters. Better everything pretty much.

The flair might have worn off a bit, but that doesn't make it a better game. Nostalgia, much? I honestly can't understand anyone who prefers the original over the sequel. It's just that much better... and less frustrating I might add.

cobblestone195435d ago

I strongly disagree. Having platinumed it, inFamous 2 is such a better game.

The story feels significantly more different, dynamic, from both the evil and hero perspectives.

The variety you get in powers is refreshing and unlike inFamous 1, 2 actually has alot of re-play value.

I could go on and on... inFamous 2 is the better game.

Reading their questions and answers, I kind of felt there was just one real question that needed asking, and that was

Was inFamous 2 a fun game to play?
A) Very much so
B) Yes
C) Not really
D) No

I think people try to over analyze all of the individual portions of games too much today rather than accepting them as a whole.

Sure, I can talk about what I like about ME1 over what they changed in ME2 as far as RPG elements are concerned, but in the end they are both great games that I enjoyed playing for the sum of the whole.

Anyway, that's kind of what went through my head above as I read their article.

ilikestuff5436d ago

well said, your like a tiny buddah covered in hair.

Omar915436d ago

for some odd reason im not as eager to play infamous 2 when i get home from work or school everyday. I just played today, but havent touched it in about 3 or 4 days... for some reason Im not enjoying it as much. its pretty good though..

Beastradamus5436d ago

I'm loving the first one and I'll prob buy or at the very least rent the 2nd.

chriski3335436d ago

Debating if I should buy help out yes or no?

SuperStrokey11235436d ago

Well if you liked the first i would say 100% get it, its a fantastic game but if you didnt like it I say dont or maybe wait to a price drop to decide for yourself. Im sure it will be a greatest hit in 12 or 15 months.

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.

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

-Foxtrot1082d 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

lukasmain1082d ago

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

anast1081d 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.

masterfox1082d 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_drake1082d 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. "

Flawlessmic1472d ago (Edited 1472d 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.

Welshy1472d 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.

Flawlessmic1471d ago (Edited 1471d 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 👌

RedDevils1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1471d 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.

outsider16241472d ago

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

seanpitt231472d ago

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

Luc201472d ago

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

The_Hooligan1472d ago

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

moriarty18891472d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1472d ago (Edited 1472d 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

Game-ur2135d ago

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

Mr Logic2135d 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.

DethWish2135d ago (Edited 2135d 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 Logic2135d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish2134d 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

MadLad2134d 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?

anonymousfan2135d 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.

Melankolis2134d 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.

Harkins17212134d 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

EazyC2134d ago

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

Gamerking822134d ago (Edited 2134d 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 .
