inFAMOUS Second Son - Official E3 Gameplay Video

An official gameplay video of InFamous Second Son has been released

[Pintheshadows]

Oh my god. That is... words escape me. Look at it!!!

[Arai]

My reaction:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k...

Like....dayummmm! It looks mind blowing, crazy, epic....my god.
Watch it in glorious 1080p guys, anything less would be an insult to the game.

[Jughead3416]

Speechless. i had to replay this. XBONE can't touch this.

[Skips]

Sony should've showed this during their conference.

Would've BLOWN MINDS!

[UnSelf]

as much as it pains me to say this, this is too much like the previous games. I swear its literally as if they just took I2 and change the palette and updated the gfx.

i platd both I1 and 2 yet sumn about this game turnss me off. Its way too much like its predecessor

[Sitdown]

Speechless, but somehow found words to bash xbox one......don't be that dude.

At the reveal in February I was excited for the this game, at the conference last night loss a little excitement, now this video has brought my excitement to new heights. Environment destruction is awesome. Is his power limitless without the need to recharge?

[mantisimo]

@Un

It looks to play similarly to I2 but the tools given to him and the extra powers are way better imo especially as you seem to be able to jump into the action more than firing from 500 ft away.

[AliTheSnake1]

WOW, I honestly never thought PS4 can do this, and this is just a first year game.
Look at the water reflections. The character's details.
SONY, WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW THIS AT THE CONFERENCE.

[Oldman100]

This game looks incredible! I find it interesting that you no longer have to zoom in over the shoulder to use your powers. I think all they need to improve on is the quality of the explosions.

[andibandit]

Looks effin awesome, but i've never played any of the Infamous games, are all enemies humans, cause it dosn't seem like much of a challenge(Guys with gun vs Superman...)

[orakle44]

wow. didnt have much interest in this game until i watched that gameplay, very, very nice.

[Shane Kim]

Not all enemies are humans. In infamous 1 & 2 there were mutants as well and epic boss battles too.

[mikeslemonade]

Takes a lot to impress me and this is a launch window game. Just imagine if they weren't rushed to make it at the launch window. Year 3, 4, 5 will be amazing for the PS4.

And in the gameplay demo I just love how he flips up in the air, and at the top he's like "yea.. i'm under control and you can't stop me". It just sums up Sony's motto in that that new age is here, and Sony is confident and expects to deliver.

[SecondSon]

Thats how I kick ass on PS4!

[abzdine]

they had it on screen before the conference started

[Reibooi]

This is the game that I most want out of what is coming in the next year or so. Infamous 2 is one of my favorite games of all time and this just does everything right.

I have to admit I kinda felt it might not feel like Infamous without Cole but that video clearly showed that will not be a issue. I could tell it would feel right just watching it. Can't wait to play this.

[nosferatuzodd]

Wow sony is not kidding around they mean business

[MysticStrummer]

Wow. Ok... up until now I've been saying I wasn't blown away yet by any exclusive from either Sony or MS. My mind is officially changed.

[Fluke_Skywalker]

@UnSelf
It is a sequel so it kinda will look like the originals and play very similarly but better. That's usually how sequels work innit.

[BlindGuardian]

this is one of the few videos from E3 that shows that a new hen is really and finally here

[Pintheshadows]

I can't wait for the new hen. :)

[Wintersun616]

Here's hoping that the new hen lays some more fine eggs like this one.

[mantisimo]

I just licked my screen is that wrong?

[GrandTheftZamboni]

Nope. All real gamers do that.

[UnHoly_One]

I probably shouldn't say what I did to my screen.

[creatchee]

Why the hell didn't they show this at the conference???

Looks absolutely stunning!

[Inception]

Agree. AC IV & Watch Dogs looks great. But sony should replace one of them with 2nd Son live demo. I mean, this so F*KIN AMAZING beyond what AC IV / Watch Dogs can offer!!!

[garos82]

Because they have a lot more to show in the upcoming days, months, years.I think they playing it perfectly.they let 3rd party developers shine at their conference with Destiny and watch dogs, we saw the division played on ps4 controllers at ubis conference and today we see this! My god by the look of things Sony is gonna be releasing megaton after megaton.

Imagine if they show cased only their 1st party efforts to show case next gen.it doesn't bode well with 3rd party publishers

Sony know what they are doing this gen and I'm happy I'll be there day one for the ride

[Zool 08]

They didn't need to, they already knocked the stuffing out of the competition blow for blow.

[izumo_lee]

From what i heard the game from Sony were being played pre-show on the stages multiple screens. That is what Shuhei Yoshida was talking about when he was talking about these games during his presentation.

[MysticStrummer]

"Why the hell didn't they show this at the conference???"

In a word, time.

They're supporting three platforms at once, and they have limited time to shoehorn in as much as possible.

I agree though. I would have had this instead of more Watch Dogs and AC4. If I was them I'd have also mentioned Planetside 2 and DC Universe Online coming to PS4.

[callahan09]

The graphics are pretty great, but I really like the destructibility that looks present there. Looks like a lot of fun just like the others in the series. I like the new abilities there. Awesome stuff.

[husomc]

i think they need to add more dust to the destruction. like that final move where he slammed down, the screen cleared up too quickly as if there was a giant invisible fan there

[GraveLord]

Sucker Punch is really something! I can't believe the jump from inFamous 2 to this one! and this is a launch game so we're not even getting close to using full horsepower on the PS4.

[torchic]

and remember how amazing the jump from inFamous to inFamous 2 was?

I remember Sucker Punch saying that they were only using about 50%-60% (can't remember exact number, but it was around there) of the PS3s power for inFamous 2!

very underrated devs!

[uncharted56]

I am just waiting for Naughty Dog to unveil their next game during Spike Game Awards like they did with their last two games, because everyone knows a second team that worked on Uncharted 3 is working on a new game. If Sucker Punch has done this in the first year with a open world game then I just can't imagine what Naughty Dogs(Gods) will be able to achieve. So excited for this, Killzone after seeing the gamespot demo, what ever Naughty Dog are doing.

PS: I am also excited for Watch Dogs, AC, Divison and Rockstars next game.

[THE-COMMANDER]

LOL! OMG man i really need a Playstation 4 NOW!!!

[tuglu_pati]

This look really good!!

[Veneno]

I think I have a man crush on this new main character, Delsin. He is such a well designed, well executed character oozing with charisma. Way way way cooler than Cole McGrath ever could be.

[Y_5150]

:(
Cole was cool.

[nthstew]

the game looks great but the white dot in middle of the screen is distracting my eyes this not something that can't be fixed i hope they make a transparent crosshair in future or make multiple of them like Counter strike so player can choose ....
thumps up for me buying this day 1 when it comes.....
can't wait.....

[Grave]

Totally agree. It was the first thing I noticed. I def think in net gen we should be able to customize cross hairs. Pretty sure that the ugly white box gets changed.

[Moonman]

I'm buying this with a shiny new PS4. :)

[stage88]

Wow. Just Wow.

Love the Playstation exclusives.

[gamewizard99]

Initially I hadn't realised the gameplay had started and just thought it was a cutscene. Wow, this is next-gen.

[alb1899]

Wou!

[GuyThatPlaysGames]

HOOO LYYYY SHITTTT!!!! That finisher at the end was the icing on the cake! From the fire effects to the flying OMG it's just too much for me to take in at once. PS4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[majiebeast]

SuckerPunch is really growing when you go from a game like Infamous 2 to this in a little over 2 years. Sony really did well buying them they saw the potential. The next candidate for a 2 team studio.

Also heard its 1080P 60FPS does anyone know if thats true?

[HammadTheBeast]

I think they confirmed in an interview. But damn, this looks amazing. Day 365 baby.

(Sorry, cheap and waiting for a price drop so I can buy PS+ as well :/
And early console issues should be ironed out by then as well.)

[Sevir]

Or use it on ps3 and have it role over into ps4 retroactively

[GraveLord]

No need to apologize. You don't have to buy it Day 1 to be a PS fan.

[OrangePowerz]

Well the video is posted in 1080 so I would assume the 1080p are correct.

[izumo_lee]

Sony is backing the studio so much they even got them a capture studio ala Naughty Dog to do all the motion/facial capture.

That is why the characters in 2nd Son look more impressive than what they did with Cole. They even released a featurette talking about it. Also is it me or is Troy Baker trying to one up Nolan North by being in every game...first FF13, Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite & now Infamaous.

[Daz]

There doing an awsome job on this game by the looks of it.

[first1NFANTRY]

I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E

nuff said.

[Software_Lover]

Looks like GTA IV pc with Ice Enhancer

[Bathyj]

Which is a good thing

[Software_Lover]

Yes. Yes it is. Not sure why I got the disagrees but whatever. Can't please everyone.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

character models look way way better than gta 4 ice.

[Eyesoffiction]

Looks like i am going to have to give the first one another try!

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

WOW!!!!!!!! Damn the PS4 is BEAST!!! Imagine What Naughty Dog will bring to the PS4 my brain will explode!!!!!!!! This is Day 1 by the way lol

[nevin1]

The sound quality is impressive.

[Genuine-User]

Looks absolutely fantastic. This game will be worth the wait.

[Sevir]

Delsin. Kicked ass and the his powers were awesome, Seems like Rock or Stone powers will also be something he gets, the stone Jump seems to be a variation to the Ice Leap Cole acquired in Infamous 2, I want them to get far more creative than just redskin the powers and adding more animations. That smoke traversing is boss. And damn Infamous looks absolutely eye melting.

[joeorc]

"Delsin.

Delsin is more than that , if you go to the Playstation Home E3 event, in the Infamous: 2nd Son kiosk, there is a slide show about info on this game, along with screen shot's.

THESE ARE DELSIN'S FIRST POWER'S!
Delsin has the ability to absorb other's power's!

with that ability, if he gets to keep the power's he absorbs he could be quite a wrecking machine, just with these alone you can see what he can do!

so you just start off with these power's

[Sevir]

And smoke traversing is sick. But I was kinda disappointed to see suckerpunch recycle old powers and Deakin them for the DUP conduits... That Stone leap is just a variation of the ice leap from I2.. and I hope that Delsin's powers get more creative instead of being reskinned. I'm super hyped and impressed by Second Son, but and I know suckerpunch will deliver.

[CaEsAr-]

WOW. That ENDING IS JUST EPIC

[bronxsta]

I hope I don't come across as cynical, but besides the next gen upgrade and the cool smoke teleportation, I don't see what's so mindblowing (at least gameplay wise, the visuals are amazing). So far all the powers are basically smoked based versions of Cole's and climbing animations are still that floaty/jumping style, etc.

It looks like a lot of fun and it's the best (only?) "superhero" game on next gen so far, but I was hoping for something more. As someone who loves watching parkour, I was hoping they'd enhance the traversal with more realistic parkour maneuvers and add things like dual wielding powers (different ones for each hand, allowing different combinations). Maybe they will and then it would truly be my most anticipated superhero game ever.

But right now, it's not a game I'd get a PS4 for.

[UnSelf]

ex freaking zactly.

oh ur from the bronx too huh? that explains it...

[bronxsta]

Lived in the Bronx for 15 years. Moved 5 years ago. Now I live in upstate NY. (I'm 21 by the way)

And being from the Bronx explains what?

[UnSelf]

nice! it explains ur ability to formulate a reasonable opinion, you being a fan of infamous notwithstanding.

im from and continue to reside in this borough. 25 years

[bronxsta]

Maybe it's not that I came from the Bronx, but I always try to avoid the whole fanboy/troll/console wars arguments and opinions and express my own in grammatically correct statements. I try to consider both sides.

Of course if Sony had ended with Uncharted 4, I would also be going OMG GOTY BEST GAMER EVER!!!! like everyone else

But for the most part, I enjoy sharing my opinions in a developed manner, even on internet video game forums.

[ILive]

But your opinion was formulated on just a little part of the game.

[bronxsta]

As was the opinion of everyone else who commented here...and most of those opinion amount to INCREDIBLE, OMG, GOTY, and one screen lick (yes that's wrong)

Like I said the graphical quality is definitely astouding, but the gameplay shown was anything but. Now more Infamous is always a good thing, but considering this is PS4, next gen, I was hoping for something more spectacular

[JackVagina]

I saw in the IGN demo vid that his actual main ability is to steal other conduits ability, so he can get completely different types, but this is the only ability there showing at this time

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[uncharted56]

They said during the demo with gamespot that it is one of the powers he has which are made to be kind of like Cole but still feel different. They are expanding on the power concepts from infamous 2 and he will be able to absorb powers presumably from conduit bosses to gain many more different types of powers. Also you are telling me you wont get this for ps4 as of now. Tell me something isn't the whole point of gaming is to have a enjoyable experience weather through great storytelling or fun gameplay. This game seems to be doing both so what is your problem then, maybe you should evaluate yourself as a gamer. Play some mario again basic but very fun game aka the whole point of games.

[bronxsta]

I wouldn't buy a PS4 for this game in particular, but it's definitely a game I'd get once I already had the console. Now Watchdogs, MGS V, The Division...those are games I get a PS4 for. I don't usually buy consoles at launch, either wait for a price drop or some must-have game. I didn't a PS3 till the end of 2009 and my first games were Uncharted 2 and GTA 4.

I'm not saying that the Infamous doesn't look fun or have good storytelling, because it certainly looks to have both those aspects. I'm just saying that what was shown in terms of gameplay didn't astound. Every other aspect was of the highest quality, top notch everything, but it just seemed like Infamous 2 with a next gen veneer. There's nothing wrong with that, but there was nothing that demonstrated how next gen power would enhance the gameplay beyond what was possible in the sequels. At least in my opinion.

I didn't know about that Rowe could absorb other powers Heroes-style so that fact definitely gets me excited. A lot of cool possibilities there.

[Kennytaur]

I agree, the climbing should have been more like Assassins Creed. As in, actual climbing and not jumping.

[waltyftm]

Drools.

[chcolatesnw]

honestly ive been playing on a gtx680/2500k/16gb 1600 for over a year and damn, this looks so clean and dem textures. If its 1080p60fps with those graphics this cannot be done on a 7850/cheap quad core cpu. no way in hell at 60fps 1080. maybe 30 fps maybe would look like that with a 7850 but 60fps at least a 7950.
Crap my wallet is crying I was gonna get KZSF and PS+ for driveclub but now I have to add infamous to the list. And watch dogs on Steam. QQ NEED MOAR MONEY

[Genuine-User]

Don't worry mate, Infamous SS is scheduled to release in the first quarter of 2014.

[chcolatesnw]

What game is that "Infinite" ?
Oo you meant Infamous. AND DAMN I didn't know. Well I guess its better I can save more cash now.

[6DEAD6END6]

Now thats what you call next gen.

[Chuk5]

Looks absolutely gorgeous.
I wish this was coming out day one, instead of in the launch window.

[ZBlacktt]

The PS4 is going to own all. Along with Sony's exclusives!!!!!

Killzone is going to be the same way.

[laoboy_Smoke]

WOW!
/Users/EVANG/Desktop/200.gif

[Bathyj]

He smoked them suckers.

Sorry.

But seriously, Mother of God.
inFamous has always looked nice but it wasnt really known for its graphics, but this is on another level level now.

I love the destruction. Pretty good for an open world game, I hope its really extensive.
When the first bridge exploded and crumbled it took me a full 20 seconds to realise my mouth was wide open. Thats a good sign.

And I would have been disappointed if the TRex didnt break. I wasnt disappointed.

And that swan dive shock attack. I saw that in the trailer and wrote it of as a cinematic but it appears to be an actual move you can do. Awesome.

Loving the quick movement teleportation and flying/hovering mechanics, it looks like a good extension of the flying in Festival of Blood which was heaps fun and handy for getting around. Hopefully by the time you upgrade you can become a full fledged comet.

Also the move where you quick shoot straight up. Its going to save all kinds of travelling time. See this is why I like sequels, they take something great, refine it and make it even better.

Cant wait for this game. Smoking is cool again.

[jizzyjones]

Ive always thought of sucker punch as baby naughty dog, that was impressive.

[windblowsagain]

Looks fantastic.

[josephayal]

GOTY 2014

[vividi]

My God! This is to much, I can't wait, PS4 already preordered with Killzone SF

[jocomat9]

if it looked that good now just wait till the retail version omg. I had to click away after the first to kills to not spoil anymore. OMG though.

[SpinalRemains]

EYE ORGASM!

Greatest looking next gen title so far, hands down not even a debate!

Sucker Punch kicks ass. Love the series and so looking forward to flaming some bitches with this Navajo kid. Awesome destructible environments!

Superb thus far.

[MRMagoo123]

How amazing is that looking jesus christ and its not even finished yet, imagine what games are gonna be like a couple years in.

[S2Killinit]

when I saw this in the reveal I wasn't interested at all. But the more I see it, the better I feel about it. Its awesome, looks like good gameplay.

[Jagsrock]

damn that looks sick, every thing looks so fluid and all the effects look great. Can't wait to see what other crazy moves you can pull off.

[giovonni]

The graphics are nice, but there was nothing that wowed me. Nothing I haven't seen before I actually was expecting better enemy A.I to tell you the truth. To me, it was boring until that swan bomb at the end, and still there was nothing that made me excited. It reminds me to much of the first two just shinny graphics.

[ltachiUchiha]

Lol yeah ok haha.

[uncharted56]

Which is not a bad thing because the first two had gameplay that was heaps of fun so I dont get what your problem is?

[giovonni]

I already stated the problem I have with the game. What they showed was boring, and outside of graphics I found nothing else that made this a must have, turn heads, fireworks, leave me with a cubby.

I was underwhelmed by what I saw. Sorry if I don't follow the "in crowd." Call me a hater if it makes you feel better. I'm sticking by what I saw, and to me it wasn't exciting the enemy A.I didn't present any new characteristic challenges. The environment was there, but in some areas it didn't feel fore filling. It felt flat, the powers outside of the swan dive didn't grab me either.

Will it be exciting later, maybe, but right now. It's nothing special.

[plaZeHD]

Agreed. Nothing that impressed me.

[leahcim]

then you already has played a third person action game with this graphics, can you tell which game was that please.

[uncharted56]

I will agree the a.i. kinda looks the same from last games but then again it can be hard to nail down ai in open world games but again this is next gen and you would expect more. The last of us has some of the smartest ai I have seen in video games, kinda wish it was like that they would take cover, plan and attack but what ever the game still looks fun.

[ltachiUchiha]

I told u guys that was gameplay in the trailer & I also said way before e3, not to hope this makes it as a launch title because its an open world game. I knew it would take more time to create such an awesome game. Did anyone notice how amazing the destructable environments look like. Everything looks so real. The powers are freakin awesome. Like nightcrawler but way more badazz. I feel like this will be the GTA of super hero games & seattle & nirvana is a win win. Day freakin one.

[Sketchy_Galore]

That was just...... damn. I consider myself pretty jaded as far as videogames go but the fight with the leaping guys made my heart jump.

[mrmancs]

That right there just sold a couple more million ps4's
Holy ... Shhhhhhhh :-)

[PiTCHBLaCK]

That's Seattle?, cool....Thats where I Live LOL. I'm getting this game!.

[Tatsuya]

That's next gen game right there! I can't really keep my crazy anticipation for this game dormant anymore!

[silvacrest]

god damn

why do i have to wait for Q1 2014??

[Superduper09]

The game looks so much better than Infamous 2.

[leahcim]

now that´s what I can call next-gen!, and I am so happy that this games is iNFAMOUS

[esemce]

This looks very good but does this game run at 60fps or 30fps ?

[cyhm3112]

they have confirmed it 1080p 60fps. I don't know how xb one can match it.

[masa2009]

I still sense the same problems with mission design.

All the missions in Infamous are just a succession of waypoints.
Go there, dispatch enemys, destroy an object, move to next waypoint, enemies spawn, destroy object 2, repeat.

All the missions are the same, and the only thing that changes is the levelling of your character.

At least the action looks punchier with a few more gameplay systems (vent teleportation, "lava eruptions", limited destruction).

But compared to the mission variety you see in current open world games, or even Sucker Punch's own Sly franchise, this feels like crude, early open world action tropes strecteched too thin.

[smashcrashbash]

I think you are confusing Infamous with Prototype. What you described there is Prototype in a nut shell.And this is only a single part of a level.How can you tell it has no variety without actually seeing what missions you are offered? You are just guessing wildly based on a few minutes of gameplay where he stayed in the same place.BTW that is an FPS you are describing there as well and people play those without blinking an eye.

[masa2009]

I'm guessing because of what I'm seeing here AND because I played Infamous 1 & 2 and it was already like that.
Personally I find the mission design in Infamous and Prototype to be fairly close, and not just the superhero theme but the structure too.

[bonafide732]

Havent played it since the 1st one but this is on my radar now

[vigilante_man]

Day 1, my son!

Amazing. This is next gen. Can't believe they never showed it. So much more to come.

Now we can get officially excited..

[Chucky2003]

The thing is that these visuals could have been done a long time ago on a PC,and even work on a medium PC with a dx11 card,but of course nobody bothered to work on it if their main focus are the consoles

[esemce]

Yeah sadly the PS4 and XBone's GPU's seem underpowered for consoles with 5-10year life spans.
Even my 2.5 year old AMD HD6950 has more grunt at 2.4 TFlops compared to the PS4's 1.84TFlops and we don't know how the low clocked 1.8GZ CPU's will fare its 8 core but I don't think many games will use more than 4.

[windblowsagain]

And you think you get 2.4 tflops from it.

Thing is, you don't.

Too much crap going on inside a pc, that's why it needs brute force.

[quantae06]

Add this to my Infamous collection then I'll have all 3.

[ErcanDaBeast]

Truely amazing............ cant find anywords to describe this game.

[-EvoAnubis-]

Wow...and this is just a launch window game. Can you imagine what games are going to look like in year two?

[solidt12]

Incredible

[lucidity]

Very reminiscent of the earlier games. Look like they've worked out a way for players to fly near indefinitely. Pretty cool. Really like Infamous as a series.

[smashcrashbash]

That dive of destruction at the end was the best part.But I love the way the soldiers were using their powers to flank him.I didn't even notice before but one of them actually made a perch out of stone to get a better vantage point to shoot him. And the turning to ash and zipping through vents? I can imagine the fun I can have with that flying through spaces and pipes and such. But since he is ash and fire does that mean is weakness is water just like Cole? We definitely need water villains this time around or bring back more evolved versions of the ice guys.

[trouble_bubble]

Omg, why didn't they play this at the conference over say, AC4??? Plays like a boss, and its exclusive
