Does inFamous: Second Son contain a Mario and Luigi reference?

Reader Victoria Garcia and his daughter Victoria came across the shot above, which comes from inFamous: Second Son. If you get in close and take a real look at the photo, it does look like Mario and Luigi are referenced/given a neat little tribute. Are those really the famous brothers, or are we just crazy?

This is in the beginning of the game.

Agent Smith4087d ago

At first, I couldn't see it. But after looking at it for a few minutes, I still don't see it.

hay4087d ago

Surely a Matrix glitch. Still running on Windows, huh?

xX-StolenSoul-Xx4087d ago

Agent Smith gets a bubble for funny :)

nveenio4087d ago

At best, it's one of the dev's kid's drawings of Mario and Luigi.

...or an elephant...

sinspirit4087d ago

I can kind of see a Sackboy..

kingfetish174087d ago

Funny how this easter egg's shown when Delsin brings up the name "Reggie" in his dialogue.

Reference to Nintendo's president, Reggie Fils-Aime.

No, No, sir...!

The Last Guardian release date, confirmed!

Zefros4087d ago

I think i saw luigi in the picture.

TekoIie4087d ago (Edited 4087d ago )

"Reader Victoria Garcia and his daughter Victoria"

.... I'm confused.

Heisenburger4087d ago

I think it's some sort of Victoria to Victoria space-time continuum.

LordMaim4087d ago

Trapped in Victorian times.

wonderfulmonkeyman4087d ago

Shit just got medieval, or damned close to it.XD

xX-StolenSoul-Xx4087d ago

I can't really tell... Lol.
I know they have sly cooper references.
Cole Mcgrath with the store "Cole McG"
They reference knack aswell with a Doll.

Mario though, no.

Pintheshadows4087d ago

This is slightly off topic guys but is there a way to change the time of day as you see fit after the game has ended?

If there isn't, there should be. I can't seem to find one anywhere.

moujahed4087d ago

No the time of day run in accordance to the story.

xX-StolenSoul-Xx4087d ago

That's exactly what I've been looking for. I want to play the game in the night time with my neon powers as it looks more amazing.

Rockefellow4087d ago

Weather seems to change randomly post-game, but I haven't noticed day/night cycles as of yet since I jumped straight to the evil playthrough.

What happens if you play the game with the ps4 clock set to evening hours? Have you tried reloading your save file a few times to see if it changes? Might be worth a try.

Pintheshadows4087d ago

It doesn't seem to do anything sadly. I have to say the city looks really dull on an evil post game tear up. I want to play at night or in the rain.

kopicha4086d ago

@Rockefellow

The day night cycle occurs at certain point of the story. It has nothing to do with the PS4 clock or how long you have dive into the game.

Rockefellow4086d ago (Edited 4086d ago )

I know that, kopicha. We were discussing possible ways for players go experience the cycle post-game, because constant daytime is rather dull. Those were simple suggestions for potential ways to see if nighttime could be provoked, which seems to be a staple atmospheric effect in many open-world games.

I'm sorry if you weren't able to understand what we're discussing without uselessly reiterating what we already know. Someone literally said the exact same thing you did, just a few posts above you, making me wonder if you were eager to act like some know-it-all prat, or simply too stupid to read for general context before typing.

I thought it was pretty easy to comprehend, my mistake.

RandomDude6554087d ago

A couple on Neogaf have said it depends on Good/evil karma. Good=noon, evil=dusk.

ZodTheRipper4086d ago

It's exactly like this, good looks way better post-game. I hope they'll add an option to change between the 8 presets via menu.

Rockefellow4086d ago

Ahhh... That makes sense now. It's an interesting design choice, but I would enjoy being able to alter the weather and time cycle via menu or "cheat," similar to GTA.

well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.

so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them

Abriael28d ago

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Si-Fly28d ago

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

Skate-AK28d ago

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

darthv7228d ago (Edited 28d ago )

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

gold_drake27d ago

i guess its more black friday, should have been more clear ha

GotGame81827d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Thanksgiving kicks off the Christmas Holiday.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

Rancegamerx27d ago

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

PRIMORDUS27d ago

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.

Why Portability Still Matters for Nintendo Switch 2—and What We’re Hoping to See

Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.

Profchaos38d ago

As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.

I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.

A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.

But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading

Goodguy0137d ago

Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.

jznrpg37d ago

I was hoping for a little more than 540p upscaled

UltimateOwnage37d ago

IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.

repsahj37d ago

Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.

jznrpg36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more

repsahj36d ago

@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.

Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.

badz14937d ago

because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
