Wow, that neon shock wave at the end......... http://images3.wikia.nocook...

I can't wait for this!

ShugaCane3739d ago

I replayed Infamous 2 recently. Such an insanely fun game but Damn! It looks like a psOne game now, compared to this lol.

Can't wait either !!

TomShoe3739d ago

Wow. Those GRFX.

Everybody should pronounce the word "Graphics" as "GRFX" now. They look so good nowadays.

Eziowellington3739d ago

Same here, and i felt the same way, well more like ps2 to me not ps1 lol. funny thing still played the Good cole even though thats what i played as last time 0_o

pyramidshead3738d ago

I swear sometimes Infamous 2 was quite hard in some respects. Some of the big beasties could easily put you down if you weren't careful.

I've played good on both games so when ever they come back around on my rotation scheme I'll replay them as the jerk! :P

GameNameFame3738d ago

And this is actual press.

Not the press that MS has paid off behind the scene.

FamilyGuy3738d ago

Some of the DUP guys have a Rock power that I'm guessing they had implanted in some kind of way. Maybe through experimentation or through some conduit that can give normal people the power. Either way that's another power so far.

I like how the powers they are coming up with have some originality. With all the Super hero comics out there it's got to be pretty hard to come up with original ideas. Neon was very surprising so I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Getting this game day 1.

Boody-Bandit3738d ago

I've been saying this since it premiered and I'm still saying it. This is the best looking game on any "console" (in my opinion) I've seen thus far. It's staggering that this is open world and with all that's going on and it appears to run smooth as silk. Again, staggering.

NumOnePS3FanBoy3738d ago

I cannot wait for this game!!! March 21st cannot come soon enough. GEttinng the collectors edition ;)

Agree, the Neon powers look like the best power so far in the franchise imo. Teleporting type abilities always get me. Do we have any confirmed other abilities yet? Or are there none/still secret?

Hmm good stuff Lucas

Smoke/fire
Neon/light
...water? When standing on water you can control the water and throw **** around. Maybe too hopeful..
Forget swimming swiming, you can fly around on a water spout.

I got nothing else...

Edit - Hmm, a common way to use water as a weapon...i'll give an example:

http://dailyanimeart.files....

In infamous same thing could be done. Pretty much a highly compressed water gun for the R1 attack. Then use a wave for the push and have various powers while near water, such as again, water spouts and all sorts of waves/whirlpools etc. Hmm, what would be the grenade. Also, how about stealth? Being able to become a pool of water and use drains to get around, like Smoke going through vents.

GarrusVakarian3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

They are still secret, Sucker Punch were asked what power is their favourite and their was reply was something like "one that you guys haven't seen yet".

Hyped. Amazing graphics, especially for a 1080p open world game. If it's anything like the old Infamous games it will play well too. Sharp movements, but smooth gameplay.

And i agree on the neon being the best power so far, i love the vivid purple/pink and how it lights up the world around it, like this GIF for example - http://cdn.avsforum.com/8/8... , i love how the particles light up his face right at the end.

GarrusVakarian3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

I was thinking water too.....but how would that make an effective weapon? I don't know. It would look pretty sick to have water thrusters coming out of your palms though, lol.

I would also say Electricity again.....but that might be too close to neon.....

Part of me really wants to know what the other powers are now, but the other half wants to wait until i have the game for the surprise.

GarrusVakarian3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

"Then use a wave for the push and have various powers while near water, such as again, water spouts and all sorts of waves/whirlpools etc."

"Being able to become a pool of water and use drains to get around, like Smoke going through vents."

Those ideas sound amazing. Maybe you could even evaporate into wisps of steam/water droplets to travel around and then reform into your standard body....kinda like how you turn into ash particles when dodging but it would last longer and could basically use it to fly for a limited period of time.

So many possiblities. They must have had so much fun making this game.

BISHOP-BRASIL3738d ago

I've been thinking about rock/earth power... I mean, we've seen ice (water), fire and electricity (sometimes coupled with wind/weather) before. Now it looks like they are trying to go for different stuff, so smoke (air and fire?), neon (light)... We had not seen earth based powers so far. It could be specially interesting as defensive powers.

Eonjay3738d ago

Sucker Punch Recently remarked that their favorite power hasnt been revealed yet. So at least one more is confirmed. We will have to see if its three total or more.

This game & the upcoming MGS:GZ are games that will really define next gen.

I'm really liking that "This is for the players" tag.

So true

Can't friggin wait!

indyman77773738d ago

I'm thinking infamous is one of the best 10 franchises in the history of gaming. But still I'm greedy with requests. I love the grapple, please make it have even farther range. Which will require you to add a quick zoom, so I can aim to those buildings that are very far away. Maybe double tap L2 for zoom? And make the grapple happen sooner in the game. That is all, oh yeah, I'm not sure if this is possible but make the explosions even bigger and more fiery colored.

Deeke3739d ago

Awesome stuff as usual, Giuseppe! Love your content and can't wait for Infamous although isn't it releasing as the same month as Watch Dogs and MGS V: Ground Zeroes? ;o

Abriael3739d ago

Watch dogs still doesn't have a release date, but yeah, it releases close to GZ

Ratty3739d ago

I was also under the impression Watch Dogs would release in March. However, since it hasn't been announced yet I'd say it's releasing later.

It's possible Ubisoft won't want to compete with all the games coming out in March. Which is understandable. Watch Dogs is on my priority list yet I still wouldn't get it over inFamous and GZ.

G20WLY3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

The particle effects, in particular, are so impressive compared to what we've had on PS3.

It's funny that Infamous one had incredible particle effects at the time and now this instalment continues to raise that same bar.

Makes me wonder if they were sharing experience/techniques with Resogun developers on this front. Can't wait for this game :)

HardcoreGamer3739d ago

i loved all the little things that went on in infamous, it was truly full to brim . 2nd was a huge leap in visuals to me. story was amazing, i hope second son is really good in all aspects

pyramidshead3738d ago

If I remember correctly the particles are a new addition because of the compute capabilities. They all compile on PS4s GPU. Sony's first party already snipping the top off of that architecture :P.

Chaostar3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

This is really looking like the first game that truly kicks off that next-gen feeling. It was Gears of War for me last gen, I'm hoping it's inFamous this time as I'm a big fan of the previous games and feel they were terribly underrated and overlooked.

Ratty3739d ago

It's been underrated and overlooked by some but I'm pretty sure it's still popular.

Chaostar3739d ago

Oh definitely but it deserves more in my eyes :)

WitWolfy3739d ago

I dunno .. I think MGS is the next gen game changer for me so far. that game looks insane!!! But now that I think about it, it does look MORE or less the same compared to last gen consoles now that I think about it...

Chaostar3738d ago

Well it's all subjective I guess. Personally I think MGS will be hindered by being multi platform and cross gen. I do think it looks pretty good though as all MG games do.

NumOnePS3FanBoy3738d ago

It was definitely an underrated beast but InFamous 2 definitely made it a franchise to be respected. Collectors edition here I come. March 21st!!!!

grassyknoll3739d ago

This & Dark Souls 2 in the same month: Gaming heaven.

Ratty3739d ago

Or hell. So many huge games I can't get all I want. I'll have to let go of Dark Souls 2 for now and it's not because I don't like it.

Hellsvacancy3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

And Final Fantasy X HD, SouthPark

Not enough time to play these awesome games

LoveOfTheGame3738d ago

Don't forget about Dying Light, and Titanfall if you have a PC or Xbox.

sitesucks3738d ago

Cant mention titanfall without getting marked down cause of the pro-sony community lol. even though infamouse and titanfall are both amazing games to start off next gen

MRMagoo1233738d ago (Edited 3738d ago )

I would say people would be looking forward to all the game mentioned, its gonna be a crazy month

@emmario

You can mention titanfall when not trying to pretend its some magic game changer for the xbone when its also coming to pc and 360.

Your comment on the other hard was completely off topic and will probably be marked down as such. You didnt even make an on topic comment after your childish rant.

How Does inFAMOUS Second Son Hold up 10 Years Later?

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?

Deeeeznuuuts96d ago

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

KwietStorm_BLM96d ago

Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.

SDuck96d ago

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

OmegaSoldati96d ago

Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.

Profchaos96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

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

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

banger88128d ago

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183127d ago

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.

persona4chie126d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
