New inFAMOUS: Second Son Screenshots

Following last week’s batch of images, Sony has released four more screenshots of inFAMOUS: Second Son, coming to PlayStation 4 in the first quarter of 2014.

Infamous Second Son is going to Ionic Drain everything. Suckerpunch is one of the most underrated dev teams out there. I'm happy they're gonna finally have their time to shine.

edit: I gain and lose bubbles like no one else.

PraxxtorCruel4331d ago (Edited 4331d ago )

Drain the competitors? I thought the Infamous games were great and am looking forward to this one but is there any game similar to Infamous coming out on any other platform? Not that I'm aware. I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Perhaps I misunderstood you? Whoops, didn't notice you have one bubble.

mewhy324331d ago

Wow. This game looks absolutely amazing. Here is another great exclusive for the PS4. Here the developers don't have to worry about multi console release and thus can avoid the lowest common denominator(xbone) factor and thereby take full advantage of the power on tap from the PS4. Awesome , awesome, oh and did I mention awesome?

FATAL1TY4331d ago

♥ Infamous: Second Son looks amazing ♥

abzdine4331d ago (Edited 4331d ago )

funny about the bubbles i noticed that too :D

These screens are insane, it feels like some horsepower is involved in there! Too bad this game cannot make it to the release date of the PS4, i can't wait to explore this beautiful world made by one of my favorite game developer.

NewMonday4330d ago

their will be more improvements in inFAMOUS: Second Son than the graphics and animation, Sucker Punch have one of the lead gameplay designers from Halo.

iloveallgames4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

At a resolution of 5,760×3,240?
I call BULLSHOT!!
Unless of course their intent is to show off the power of a high end PC.

The title pic has me thinking of The Last of Us with a PS4 release :D

inFamous: SS is looking great.

And here's the kicker:

Up until the official PS4 reveal a few months ago in February, devs thought the PS4 was only going to have 4 GB of GDDR5 RAM. Even 1st party devs thought the PS4 was only going to have 4 GB of RAM. In other words, these games we're seeing were built with target specs of 4 GB of RAM, but now the actual system has double that.

Let that sink in.

Imagine what games built from the ground up for ~8 GBs of RAM will look like...

abzdine4331d ago

you've said it all!! Sony always said that they're only scratching the surface! Now the 1000000$ question is: how thick is the surface because this is scary.

ATi_Elite4330d ago (Edited 4330d ago )

you can have 60GB of Ram and it changes nothing cause graphic fidelity all depends on the power of the GPU which is almost a AMD HD7850 so that's the limit of the PS4.

the extra ram will help on world size, A.I. complexity, on screen characters, etc..

The Ps3 suffered cause it had way too little ram but Devs got the most out of it.

The PS4 has a ton of ram but not all 8GB will be for gaming with 1GB dedicated to O.S.. so far 7GB is for Gaming but that may change as the PS4 will be tasked to do other things at the same time like recording gameplay which may take up more Ram from gaming.

HiddenMission4330d ago

@ATi_Elite

Actually your wrong...

The recording featured is a background function that is being controlled by a secondary chip that does not task the Ram.

Everyone forgets that the secondary background chip exists and that it's a 4 core chip that will handle everything non game related in the background.

So zero impact on the Ram from that stuff.

Now that's a next gen title. And people were saying the leap to next gen won't be that big.

Genji was the only launch title that resembles Infamous in some form.

Both games are exclusive to its next gen predecessors. Its obvious Infamous looks 10x as better then Genji for a launch title so I'll say the leap is much bigger.

mattdillahunty4330d ago

you are either willfully blind or just ignorant if you think Infamous: Second Son is approaching Crysis 3 quality.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

skip to 3:40. if you honestly feel that Infamous: SS is approaching that technical level of graphics, then you have been sucked so far down the rabbit hole of fanboyism that i genuinely feel sorry for you.

devwan4330d ago

tries to prove point... by linking to lossy 30fps youtube video.

Comparing ps4 launch games with PC games is a futile exercise anyway. Come back in 18 months with a better video source and knock yourself out proving your point.

dredgewalker4321d ago

Even if Infamous can't match Crysis 3 graphically I'm 100 percent sure that gameplay will be leaps ahead of it.

SuperSteve4331d ago

Screenshots? REALLY?! In 2013???

Show me some native-res, uncompressed GAMEPLAY video, then I'll be impressed.

Seriously, only fanboys give two shits about BULLSHOTS in 2013.

Wizziokid4331d ago

+1 for your reply!

@SuperSteve you have officially been served.

mafiahajeri4331d ago

Destroyed him with that comment...

SuperSteve4331d ago

I said

NATIVE-RES,

and

UNCOMPRESSED.

That video is neither.

Sevir4331d ago

Lmao!... Supersteve! Just have a seat... And be quiet!

Campy da Camper4331d ago

Infamous is my favorite game(s) this gen. I'm super stoked for the new release.

PS Lol at PC elietists getting all buttsore. Don't you guys have a patch to install or driver to update?

JunioRS1014331d ago

Just so you know though, that's only in 720p, so it STILL doesn't do the game justice.

When the game is running at 1080p 100% finished??

Get out of here SuperSteve, you're obviously just not buying a PS4.

I am ;)

SoundGamer4331d ago

Not sure why people are so quick to call them bullshots when the gameplay (not even the finished product) looks just as good as the screens.

theWB274331d ago

You're in the wrong area...how often do we get what you're asking for? Must be hard for you to buy a game since that's what the model is. Release screenshots and a few trailers leading up till launch.

How many NATIVE UN-COMPRESSED videos can you find on the web of current gen games? Are they that prevalent to be demanding them of next gen un-finished un-released games?

fsfsxii4331d ago

Is that all what you care about?? hurr durr grafx

MidnytRain4331d ago

Isn't that all this article is really about? Otherwise, who would care looking some buildings on a city street and some guy's face, lol.

fsfsxii4331d ago

@midnightrain
I don't really care about graphics.

HammadTheBeast4331d ago (Edited 4331d ago )

Name one PC open world game that looks better. And please, don't throw Skyrim with mods at me.

Also, you're pretty contradictory, an uncompressed 1080 native pic or video would make it look even better.

are you a retard or what...

The second pic, street pic looks gorgeous.

Can't wait to get this, loved the first two games but this one looks to be on another level!

inFamous 3: Is PlayStation Working On A Second Son Sequel?

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

gold_drake317d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn316d ago

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.

Cacabunga316d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX316d ago

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. :)

thejigisup316d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992316d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack316d ago

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?

Pepsi_Man3000316d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx316d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty316d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125316d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc316d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies316d ago (Edited 316d ago )

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.

Tacoboto316d ago (Edited 316d ago )

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.

jznrpg316d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

How Does inFAMOUS Second Son Hold up 10 Years Later?

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?

Deeeeznuuuts505d ago

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_BLM505d ago

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

SDuck505d 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

OmegaSoldati505d ago

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

jznrpg316d ago

@OmegaSoldati I’ve had a few of the highest end PC’s and they’re cool for about a year then they aren’t the highest end PC anymore and not as cool. It’s way overrated imo.

Profchaos505d ago (Edited 505d 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
