Abriael4080d ago

Less than one month now :D

mantisimo4080d ago

Here they come some great games this month!

This is my most anticipated , loved the first 2.

alexkoepp4080d ago

Not sure why I would care what the drummer from Blink 182 thinks about a game.

Sharius4080d ago

polygon: 4/10 too much power hurt my brain

memots4080d ago

Polygon : Too much variety and environment graphic are looking too good . 4/10

Kryptix4080d ago (Edited 4080d ago )

Polygon: Using Delsin's powers put a greater emphasis to what next gen is all about with improved physics, particles, and of course, fun. Excellent game. 4/10

Conzul4080d ago

Polygon: The game is pretty but the enemies are too tough. No aim assist 4/10

You had me "awwwwwhhhhhh *epic laugh* saw it comin".

Thank you sirs

FamilyGuy4080d ago (Edited 4080d ago )

They'll say:

There's not enough variety
Too many fetch quest
Too many side quest
Too many similar powers
Would've liked more powers
It's not GTA
There should be a middle ground ending
The game is too short/long
Too easy/hard
Not enough enemy types
The game is too similar to the previous titles
Couldn't "connect" with the characters
uh... Delsins beanie should be green, green is better.

what else..
Oh ohh, it should have online/co-op
They will nitpick the hell out of this game and slam it with some terrible score.

If Troy is referring to the graphics than I have to disagree, it looks good but idk about amazing, the game got a major graphical downgrade after e3. :(

1.The chain melee smoke now has this flat orange texture instead of volumetric fire

^ current build

The fireballs also got the same treatment

http://daxgamer.com/wp-cont...
^ e3
http://i.imgur.com/ORbHBQB....
^ current build

And then there's the gameplay character model of delsin himself...there's an obvious disconnect between the gameplay character model and the cutscene character model now, which wasn't present in the e3 build.

^ current build

Neon gameplay looks like it could be beast though if the final game includes more ways to be good than slowing down time and shooting the SAME leg for each enemy. And the framerate shouldn't drop below 30fps now.

@memots I selected screenshots from DIRECT FEED footage of the latest demos compared to the e3 demo
@kingdom
Less light shouldn't make it look like the model has less fidelity. And funny thing about the lighting....

memots4080d ago

way to select the screenshot you want out of the bunch.
There is plenty of gameplay video out there. Go have a look.

alexkoepp4080d ago

Wow that actually is a pretty big downgrade. Look at the chain on his wrists in the last picture. Funny how Ryse gets a "downgrade" and Infamous "character chose a different path." Sony fanboys can spin anything... not well, but spin nonetheless

kingdom184080d ago

Out the "current build" screens those are in a dark corridors and I remember reading that the character has chosen a evil path for those sets of pics, so the color is going to look different.

Bathyj4080d ago

For someone whose not interested you sure are doing alot of research on it. Kind of sad really.

RyuCloudStrife4080d ago

I agree with you I will get Infamous day 1 and will enjoy it as much as anybody, but I'm not blind!

That noshadows.gif strikes my heart...

SasukeX164080d ago

Didn't know people stared at shadows instead of playing a game.

Shadonic4080d ago

pretty sure that the whole color change is due to the whole good and evil side differences like in the previous titles.

webeblazing4080d ago (Edited 4080d ago )

you may have a point, but most likely theyre gonna iron it out. volumetric smoke takes a toll on hardware, so thats kinda nickpicking. even division did have true volumetric smoke. wind was blowing one way, while the smoke from the sewer didnt move. the game looks good and fun thats all that should matter. try taking the high route even tho other fanboys be doing the same. games on all platforms gonna get better.

you definitely dont seem like your downplaying the game tho. if it dont come perfectly close to the e3 footage its a good try. they gain more experience for their next game

webeblazing4080d ago

my fault ment to say division didnt have volumetric smoke. you ll know what i mean if you look at the trailer but like i said its new consoles. most likely theyll get it.

GarrusVakarian4080d ago (Edited 4080d ago )

Lol, way to pick and choose screenshots to back up your biased argument.

Those "downgraded" screenshots are from low quality, washed out, compressed b-roll footage, i downloaded it myself. Also, im pretty sure the look of Delsins powers change depending on what path you take, hence why the chain and fireball looks different in the tunnel.

As for this pic - http://i.imgur.com/1pbHwRM....

We have already seen Delsin in the latest build, he looks like this - http://www.gamepur.com/file...

Much higher quality than the biased screenshot you chose huh? You can't even see the detail on the label on his beanie in your picture, it's so compressed, look at the edges of everything, typical signs of compression.

As for no dynamic shadows for streetlights and car headlights, i'll take that over dropped res or dropped framerate unlike other exclusives......

Stay off the MisterX kool aid and prepare to be proved wrong when the game launches.

According to the video above, posted 1 week ago with fresh new gameplay...the chain and fire still looks as bright as the E3 build. You can see it at :41 seconds in and other parts of the video.

Meaning that, either it's based on good and evil side or there's an upgrade system that wasn't talked about. Remember that Infamous 1 and 2 has a point system so I'm guessing the chain and fire looks different on the level of upgrades.

There you go, there goes that downgrade rubbish out of the window. The game is going to look great.

Destrania4080d ago (Edited 4080d ago )

Exactly Lukas. Xbots will desperately try to find anything to attempt to downplay an absolutely stunning and incredible game that's only on Playstation, such as Infamous: Second Son. Wait till the game launches to do biased 'comparisons' how 'bout, eh @CrossingEden?

Kryptix4080d ago (Edited 4080d ago )

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

8 minutes in, 1 month old gameplay.

More proof that there's a misconception that is going on here. The game didn't get a downgrade.

Compare the same image from e3 and the same image from current build.

Comparing different images has only made you look like a bit of a simpleton, not saying you are definitely wrong but it isn't a fair comparison therefore this attempt must be labelled a fail.

PrinceOfAllSaiyans4080d ago

@crossing you do know that was confirmed to be photo shopped ? By Xbone fanboys like yourself. I'm sorry SP is a Sony studio they actually put effort into their games unlike MS few studios.

Unique PlayStation Games Where You Sweep Through Enemies Like They're Nothing

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_drake281d 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_corn280d 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.

Cacabunga279d ago

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

OtterX280d 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. :)

thejigisup280d ago

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

neutralgamer1992280d ago

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

RaidenBlack280d 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_Man3000280d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx280d ago

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

fr0sty279d ago

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

DivineHand125280d ago

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

DazaMc280d ago

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

ChasterMies280d ago (Edited 280d 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.

Tacoboto279d ago (Edited 279d 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.

jznrpg279d 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?

Read Full Story >>
gamingbolt.com
Deeeeznuuuts469d 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_BLM469d ago

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

SDuck469d 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

OmegaSoldati468d ago

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

jznrpg279d 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.

Profchaos469d ago (Edited 469d 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
