Infamous: Second Son Gives PS4 Owners Faith in the System’s Future

Throughout the life of the PlayStation 3, Sony put out console exclusive after console exclusive, and one of its most popular was a new-on-the-PS3 franchise, Infamous. The two games in the series (and campaign DLC) followed protagonist Cole McGrath, an average guy bestowed with superhuman electricity-based powers. As the game went on, players made morality-based decisions, and Cole’s powers developed in a direction that reflect those choices. Simply put, you could be a good guy or a bad guy, and both paths opened up different gameplay options.

Takeaway
The demo was brief, but it confirmed one important idea: Despite the changes to the series, Second Son is every bit an Infamous game. The gameplay is much the same as it was before, at least at first glance, but the ability to cultivate and use multiple types of powers promises to offer players a more robust set of gameplay options

Sony will announce more games at e3

Eonjay3736d ago

No doubt. I will be looking for some original IPs as well.

erathaol3736d ago (Edited 3736d ago )

Everyone will announce more games at E3. We're going to be reeling from how many next-gen titles we see and how good they all look.

So damn excited!

"...cultivate and use multiple types of powers promises to offer players a more robust set of gameplay options."

showtimefolks3736d ago

no by just calling it playstation it gives us faith that it will be supported well since that's sony's DNA gaming wise

Infamous 2nd son is just the starting point of what could be one of the best gaming years for ps4, exclusives will be there and now games in 1080P-60FPS 3rd party titles

ultimate gaming console.

You knows what's funny is when people buy launch consoles and expect great games. Been a gamer for 20 plus years and guess what? we buy consoles based off the assumption that games will come later

hey foxnews i dont need infamous second son to give me hope in the PS4 future, i already have it because of Sony history for supporting the platform with games.

Eddie201013736d ago (Edited 3736d ago )

Does any one really believe that Sony and the PS4 will not bring many great games that will take advantage of the system, Of course there will be many, many great games on the PS4, no one has anything to wary about in that department. The only one's who believe that there will not be are the fanboys.

I have the utmost faith that not just one but many great games will come to the PS4.

Foxnews? I thought they hate games

Btw I'm not being sarcastic, I thought I read on multiple occasions them attempting to blame bad things on games

kingdom183736d ago

Urgh... I can't stand to hear anything about Faux News

wsoutlaw873736d ago

it really really bothers me that so many people watch that garbage

erathaol3736d ago

Actually, there are a few, shall we say defenders?

Sony's gaming history since PS1 gives PS4 owners faith in the system's future.

Eonjay3736d ago

This was alluded to in the article.

iiorestesii3736d ago

Worse titled article ever...

PS4isKing_823736d ago

The fact that it's a playstation is all the faith I need.
Since 1995 Sony has consistently been the one company I can always count on to give me the best gaming experiences money can buy.

bobsmith3736d ago (Edited 3736d ago )

mlb 14 the show comes out same month as infamous I think and driveclub maybe too
gives me lots of faith in ps4's future

majiebeast3736d ago

I think MLB will be May because of the new hardware, MLB 2007 also launched in May.

combatcash3736d ago

Will drivclub still be free? I hope so.

Plasticgearsolid3736d ago

since when was driveclub free?

Kivespussi3736d ago (Edited 3736d ago )

@plasticgearsolid
Driveclub "PS+ Edition" will be available for PS+ subscribers. That's basically driveclub but it doesn't include just everything. Things like tracks, cars etc. You have to buy the full game to get everything BUT I think it's not that good idea to pay a price of a full game for just tracks and cars (but I have a feeling that the digital version will have some kind of discount)

Bob Dole3736d ago

^^ Sposed to be a f2p lite version for ps+ or something.

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_BLM102d ago

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

SDuck102d 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

OmegaSoldati102d ago

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

Profchaos102d ago (Edited 102d 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.

banger88134d ago

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

shinoff2183133d 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.

persona4chie133d ago

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