Kotaku - One of the PS3's best franchises gets an infusion if fresh blood this week with the Infamous: Festival of Blood DLC. The standalone add-on changes things up considerably for Cole McGrath, turning the lightning-throwing hero into a bloodsucking vampire. This individual offering doesn't tie back into the main game, so is the Festival of Blood worth your time and money?
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.
"With the recent release of InFamous: Second Son, we thought we’d search the whole series for interesting Easter eggs. The list isn’t extensive, so let us know about any more you’ve found!"

"With the much-heralded arrival of InFamous: Second Son, we thought the franchise’s first two (and a half) entries deserved one more day in the spotlight. Sucker Punch Productions first introduced the world to Cole McGrath and the Ray Sphere in 2009. But how did the franchises’s beginnings prepare us for one of the most anticipated titles of the new console generation? "
Already bought for 8 bucks!!
Stop making decisions for your readers Kotaku.
I bought it for $8 and beat it, it's was worth it
He's convinced me, I want it right now.
But Im holding off from playing inFamous again until Move support comes out.
Should people listen to a site like Kotaku? No...make up your own minds
