Dualshock Nexus: Infamous: Festival of Blood hit the PSN store today and we have over 11 minutes of gameplay from the start of the game (with more to come!). The twisted, horror themed story of the DLC fits in so well in the Infamous universe. It's definitely one of the best DLC I have ever played. This is a must have for Infamous fans. New fans, don't be shy, you don't need to have played the first or second installment to enjoy this killer DLC! Check out the gameplay and see for yourselves.
Former PlayStation US bigwig Shawn Layden has weighed in on the subject of video game preservation during a chat with Lan Parties, stating that more should be done by the big players in the industry to help preserve games.
Preservation is important. I’m hoping that more people in the industry, certainly the big players, begin to realize that there’s an obligation and responsibility. This isn’t throw-away stuff we’re making. This is stuff that should be around for a long time because future generations will enjoy it in the same way that we have and it’s criminal that we’re not doing more to protect it.
Sony in particular has come under attack for its poor attitude towards game preservation, having originally announced plans to shutter the PSP, PS Vita, and PS3 stores back in March 2021. This was met with widespread backlash, resulting in the format holder confirming the Vita and PS3 stores would remain open.
"Bring him back! Or put Shuhei in charge"
I would rather have Jack as Playstation CEO and Shu as President/Head of Playstation Studios.
But Layden is definitely better than Ryan
Wouldn't your rather the government pass a law banning PlayStation and requiring all citizens to purchase 15 Xboxes and GP subs?

No.
I don´t want Playstation to disappear. Actually, I want Playstation to be quite successful and maintain its leadership on the market so MS could´t never get back to their cocky ways and f* with Xbox gamers ever again.
If you read my comment history, You´ll be able to confirm by yourself that I´d been actually encouraging your PS pals hurt by MS latest acquisitions to boycott Xbox games and support Sony instead.
So I´ve been noticing that only Jin Sakai, jznrpg and Apocalypse Shadow will actually walk the talk and boycott MS unlike some hypocrites talking sh*t about monopoly and consolidation, while giving their money to MS anyway.
Botton line, though, without Playstation as competition, Xbox gamers are doomed! Period!
It's not that they don't mind. People just know what to expect from Nintendo. They're ridiculous in many ways. Charging for a terrible counterintuitive online service? Cracking down in emulation when they don't do enough for their own game preservation? Charging a premium for the tech they've got?
People mind, but they are perhaps willing to treat their bad behavior with less weight because they do deliver with games. It's functionally an abusive relationship with good sex.
Bizarre analogy, but I think it's true.
Whilst the compang does the bare minimum with backwards compatibility?
Preservation of games isn't just BC, so many gamers don't actually know what the full meaning of preservation even means.
That's true, but the main focus from a consumer standpoint is allowing gamers to continue to play their older titles.
Preserving the history through backwards compatibility and ease of access, which Sony don't do a great job at...YET.
The ps catalogue is continually expanded and love being able to play older titles I enjoyed on PS3 like Tekken 6, so at least they're moving in the right direction on that front, albeit very slowly.
Learn grammar is a bit rich coming from you who can't differentiate between your and you're. English clown 😂
Does this mean we can have a lot more "Playstation Classics"? I don't feel like we're getting enough for what was promised, at least they added a few games this month.
True. I've been waiting for some of those old school rpgs from the ps1 ps2 Era, where f is legend of legaia Sony
Oh yes! Give me Legaia! I don't have my original PS1 copy any more (idk even know what happened to it). There's so many games I missed the first time around, I would love the opportunity to play them.
The boom of Playstation Classics seems to have fizzled out last gen. Now it's mostly remakes or remasters.
Sony is in a position where they could do a lot, with their premium games. They have all the systems in place to do something cool on the psp, ps2 and psx front, but they don't really want to, it seems.
When something wonderful becomes something so mind-numbingly routine.
In reference to farming bosses, I gotta say I loved farming bosses in the Borderlands Series for better loot. I hope they get crackin on 3 now that Battleborn has been deemed a failure.

Forgot to mention the RNG Bullshit which Is World of Warcraft. People got their second legendaries on their alts while others whom spent more time playing didn't get crap.
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?
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.
It's still possible he survived, having his powers activated by Augustine's attack and them manifesting when he fell. I think Sucker Punch's statement is on the record as, "We'll never do something boring like fire or water because it would be too easy and cliché."
And rocks and electricity aren't cliche?i still like the infamous games but SP went downhill after slycooper IMO, Thank god They aren't making the new spiderman like the rumours say.
I hope he is
Imagine if him and Cole need to team up to stop Delsin
Even if he's not the real Beast but still a threat brother vs brother would be amazing
Fletch and Eugene would be bosses to unlock each new area
Could team up with Zeke aswell
@Big_Game_Hunters Convenient of you to leave out smoke, neon, video, glass and paper.
inFAMOUS - Best Story
inFAMOUS 2 - Overall Best Experience
inF2: Festival of Blood - Epic DLC
Second Son - Best Gameplay
SS: First Light - Best Combat
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.
I bought the game for the seven dollars, but havent played it yet so much out right now I hope its good.
Omfg this shit looks fun!!! Im buying it tomorrow!
Was so happy to know I didnt need infamous to play got it for 7.99 on PLUS Dling now. I hope its good and if it isnt its just 8 bucks so yeah...
This looks sooo fun!!!
Does anyone know if I can play this without having completed either of the inFamous games?
It looks unrelated and I know it's a story from Zeke, but will it reveal any spoilers from the 2 campaigns? I just can't wait and this is cheap.
