GK | inFamous 2 Review

InFamous 2 is a “safe” sequel. It offers shiny new powers and boosted graphics, but plays out almost identically to its predecessor. While there’s still fun to be had in firing lightning bolts from your fingertips, several problems prevent the game from being truly electric.

Well, I'd have given the first game an 8.5/10 and the sequel improved everywhere barring the amazing ending of the original that it couldn't top.

Cole controlled smoother, there were more varied powers that removed one criticism of the first too-that his powers were just shooter weapons with a different name, mere swap ins for pistol, assault rifle, rocket launcher, grenades etc and the open world was both bigger and more detailed. Add the normal upgrades for a sequel like AI, graphics and physics improvements and I fail to see how a game which also adds a way of generating our own levels and playing each others cannot be considered a great sequel.

This means there's a lot of replay beyond your minimum of two for the good and evil plays through the campaign and I just don't see how or why people reviewing the game find it so lacking in star value. I sometimes find myself not loving games everyone else does but, nine times out of ten, I can SEE that it's my taste and particular skills etc that don't lend me to loving games which I can STILL see the quality of(Fallout3 or Portal2 for example). I just think that inFAMOUS, for whatever reason, is opne series that won't ever get the universal credit it deserves even though among those who actually play the game it's usually very, very highly rated and way less of the love it or hate it game the reviews would suggest. Funnily enough it also seems to tick off every critical review of inFAMOUS' issues with the game and yet still no cigar? I just don't think it's a media darling in any way and gets hammered for things let to ride in other games. odd, I'm pretty strict and tight with scores but inFAMOUS2 is a nine/ten kind of game.

to be honest. i have played this game and it is low for this game.

SP took all the complaints about the first game and addressed every single one - powers, mission variety, environment variety, similar paths for both "karmas", etc. They also polished the graphics and AI, *and* added level editing.

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

-Foxtrot1105d 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

lukasmain1105d ago

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

anast1104d 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.

masterfox1105d 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_drake1105d 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. "

Flawlessmic1495d ago (Edited 1495d 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.

Welshy1494d 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.

Flawlessmic1494d ago (Edited 1494d 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 👌

RedDevils1494d ago (Edited 1494d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1494d 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.

outsider16241495d ago

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

seanpitt231495d ago

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

Luc201495d ago

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

The_Hooligan1495d ago

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

moriarty18891495d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1495d ago (Edited 1495d 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 Logic2158d 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.

DethWish2158d ago (Edited 2158d 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 Logic2158d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish2157d 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

MadLad2157d 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?

anonymousfan2158d 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.

Melankolis2157d 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.

Harkins17212157d 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

EazyC2157d ago

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

Gamerking822157d ago (Edited 2157d 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 .
