MMGN.com writes: When Sucker Punch launched the inFAMOUS franchise it was an interesting experiment; a tale that could have been lifted from any Stan Lee comic with a morality mechanic attached, allowing you to be a hero or an anti-hero depending on your choices throughout the story. Two years later we are given a somewhat predictable sequel. inFAMOUS 2 is a bigger, bolder and more refined experience that builds upon the original to expand the rich world of Cole McGrath and CO, but does little to change the gameplay formula.
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
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
How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?
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.
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.
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
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.
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.
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 👌
Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.
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.
RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen
Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
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?
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.
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 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
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?
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.
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.
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
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 .
I love Infamous but I agree with most of the 8-8.5s it gets. I only get upset when sites give it a really low score but have a history of rating much worse games higher.
@Sitris - That is a fair point and I totally see where you are going with that. The whole thing with this particular game is that morality is the main theme - it has been since the first title however they never really explore it to an extent where it feels like a mechanic. It's just there....and rarely has impact where titles like Mass Effect 3 use a similar mechanic to great effect.
Obviously they can't change the gameplay completely - however they need to provide a fine balance between something new and staying true to the original. inFAMOUS 2 plays exactly like the first title and doesn't offer any wow factors that make could make it great.
It's still a lot of fun though, and that's what counts right?
Great review Heller.
Keep it up buddy, loving the new video reviews hopefully they can soon become more involved and lengthy.
All in all a great review and good scoring.
Although I myself would give it a 9 to 9.5, but I'm an infamous fanboy lol.
