With a vast array of powers to accompany enormous sandbox environments, Sucker Punch's Infamous games have afforded PlayStation owners with dozens of hours worth of super powered fun. Which one's the best of the bunch?
The inFamous games are an important part of PlayStation history, but the series is in limbo and playing older entries isn't exactly easy.
Would like remasters of 1 and 2. I enjoyed them much more than Second Son.
1 & 2 had more of an emphasis on climbing and the traversal requires a bit more effort in a good way. It was rewarding. Second Son made climbing mostly obsolete so they put little effort into it. The traversal was just great in inFamous 1 & 2. There's a reason Sunset Overdrive copied and improved upon the induction grind mechanic.
Reminds me of how I felt about the decline of parkour and the well designed tombs (basically Prince Of Persia levels) that we saw in the Assassin's Creed games.
The story and atmosphere were also much better in 1 & 2.
Electricity is just a brilliant superpower for an open world city. It perfectly fits just like webslinging does in New York and it has many applications.
Wouldn't the onus be on the consumers? If they bought the Infamous games, then we'd have more games from that series.
I would love to see a new game but a feel that would get a response similar to Saints Row.
Loved all 3 of them. I couldn't get on with the vampire spin off though. Wish they didn't move away from cole but I didn't mind the other character.
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.
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.
I feel like there should have been an arcade mode DLC for Eugene.
Not a bad direction list of rating the best Infamous games. Though I would still put the original Infamous over Infamous: First Light simply based on the amount of content afforded in the first game. However, there is no denying that First Light was great!
Infamous Second Son over Infamous...whaaaa
I'm sorry but apart from a decent soundtrack and pretty graphics along with animations Second Son felt like a step back
Story wasn't as good
Characters were forgettable
Delsin just wasn't as likeable
Delsins "I bloody love my powers" development we've seen more times then Cole's "I don't want this" development
Story didn't have a big ass twist
Side characters felt like they were added to show off new powers, more then Infamous 2s
Felt unfinished (the Rock power for example)
Villain wasn't developed well
Felt more repetitive then last games
The one good character, Reggie, they killed off
Lack of morale choices
Lack of move sets for powers
Like I've said only way I could redeem it is if they go off the Evil ending, make Delsin loose control after his brother dying and being outcast by his tribe and have him become the REAL Beast, the one Kessler talked about, John being something else that was mistaken for him.
In the end this would be a Beast origin story and it would be epic. I just think Cole went off the good endings so Delsin should go off the evil ones.
Bring back Cole for the final fight in inFAMOUS 3 and close his story for good.
Seriously with Reggies view on Conduits it would have been more interesting to see him get powers instead and hate himself only to accept himself in the end. Probably should have done a DLC where he survived and got water powers, the other two being the cut powers like glass, paper and steel.
Really hard to choose between the main games. Infamous 1 has the best story but Second Son has the best gameplay. Infamous 2 has the best soundtrack and it has the strongest overall package imo.
Infamous 2 and soundtrack was incredible
