inFamous: Second Son takes place 7 years after the “Cole McGrath episodes” and stars newcomer Delsin Rowe as he tries to evade the DUP in Seattle. That much we know.

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?
100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released
Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.
Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha
Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.
Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.
Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run
I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.
Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.
I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.
Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
GB: "There's just something special about the games that could be, and this feature gushes about 15 games that we would love to see on the PS5."
Good on the powers, not sure if I'd like the game if all I could do was turn into smoke.
Wasn't a fan of the new Cole anyway, so I'm fine with this.
But why get rid of Cole
I understand if they want to look at other characters, honestly I really wanted to see this I just didn't want the universe they created move forward without Cole
They could of done spin off games with alternative timelines, since time travel is possible in inFAMOUS.
They could of done prequels about Kesler moving up the ranks of the first sons and finally taken control of the group or show you Coles/Keslers life in the alternative timeline before the beast attacked.
They could of done a game on a conduit while the events of inFAMOUS 2 play out
They could of showed us a game based on Nix or maybe another conduit where Kuo is the secondary character when she's still human and acts like what Zeke does to Cole in
the first two games. His friend and advisor
I could go but you get my point...there was absolutely no need to set the game after inFAMOUS 2 and continue without Cole. Cole is a well loved character and should of been the main character for the main games. However since they've not numbered this game and given it a subtitle there's still hope that inFAMOUS 3 is being saved for Cole. Who knows the twist at the end of this game might be that this is an alternative universe back in Keslers/Future Coles timelime or a universe where neither the good or bad ending happened in the last game....Cole just defeated the Beast without activating the ray sphere and without becoming the beast himself
I just hate it when they do new characters when there's still a lot more they could do to the old one. I mean Coles only been in two games...at least do a trilogy with him before you want to move on.
Also...I'm not really liking the new character. You know first impressions and all, it's just his design, it's so ugly. Don't get me started on his attitude.
"As Sucker Punch is based right outside of Seattle, and many of us have lived there our entire lives, we wanted to pay homage to our hometown and backyard. "
Personal reasons much...why not just call it "Seeatle", play on it's words. It's still similar to the real name.
I find it funny they keep dodging the "What ending does it go off" question because neither ending doesn't make sense. Humans are still alive so it's not the evil ending but conduits are still around so much they created advanced tec to keep a look at for them so it's not the good ending where they are wiped out.
If they came out and said "InFAMOUS 3 is being kept because it's Coles story and we might do a new game" or "Second Sons is not inFAMOUS 3 but more of a spin off" then fair enough I wouldn't have a problem.
I just don't know why they would get rid of a character they know people love a ton. Look at the backlash when they changed his character design.
They have to say that Cole isn't returning that way it will be a surprise when he does return.
Okay you have to realize that people who write stories sometimes want to make changes for whatever reason.They ended Cole's story and instead of dragging it on with something improbable, or what I am certain people would have called a 'cop out', they instead left Cole dead an brought in a new character with a new story and his own goals.That is a sign of an imaginative person, moving on and changing the story instead of just hanging on to a single concept constantly because they are afraid of people not liking it and not going on and on jogging in place to the point of tedium. It takes guts to remove people from play and continue on without constantly referring to and involving the last person.It makes for a more dynamic series. Ad for people who keep saying that all the Conduits should be dead know that nothing is 100% effective. Who is to say EVERY single Conduit died when Cole did what he did? Did they go all around the world and check? How would they know each and every Conduit was dead?
