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.

Ghost of Yotei can be followed up with spin-offs, confirms the Creative Directors at Sucker Punch Productions.
Kind of surprising because I don’t know how they’d do spin offs given that they are now making each new game about a different Ghost. When you spin off it’s usually about a different character or location but they are already doing that here.
Only thing I can think of is Jin making a return with a direct follow up to Tsushima and then eventually Yotei will get the same treatment.
*shudder*
I didn’t think about live service
As for Legends, I think doing it as an update after launch for the current game is a better way than a separate game entirely
I think people are throwing around the word spin-off without really knowing what it means. As far as I know, or maybe this is just my interpretation, but a spin-off is something that features someone who was already introduced in a main entry.
So in my mind, Ghost of Yotei is it's own standalone entry in an anthology. Whereas a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off would be if we got something like a game, novel, comic or series focusing on Yuna, Kenji, Tomoe or some other character from the game.
That’s how I’d understand it. I thought they’d go back to Jin though. Imo his story needs a sequel.
I mean or you could make a new Sly Cooper, InFamous, or new IP and not milk this series...
So Ghost of Yotei is milking the series... but making a new Sly Cooper or Infamous isn't?
I believe his point is that both series have been gone long enough where regardless of how many entries there are, he (and others) miss the franchise and wouldn't feel like it's considered "milking" due to the massive time gap.
When a gameplay style or characters are gone for so long, its only natural to want to see it return, right?
Mix it up, don't just pigeon hole yourself to make only samurai games, toss in some variety. But if Sucker Punch doesn't want to do that, so be it.
We have had 4 sly cooper games (not including the collection), 3 infamous games (not including the spin-off first light) and so far only 2 ghost games so i wouldn't really call it milking the series. Now, i wouldn't mind also getting another sly or infamous game though.
So, they’re not going to work on different things? Just Ghost and spin-offs for years to come? Please don’t Ass Creed this IP
Feels like Sony's thing lately studio struck gold and 10 years later they are still toiling away at the same IP tlou and horizon two of the biggest examples
Huzaifah from eXputer writes, "My favorite type of genre in games is when enemies are merely animal fodder in the eyes of the protagonist's sheer power."
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
They really need to
Go off the evil ending off Second Son
Delsin absorbs all those powers
Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.
Cole vs the Real Beast
quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.
It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.
Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.
I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.
We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)
Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown
Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5
Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?
I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.
If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.
Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.
I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.
Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
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?
