"Welcome to the world of tomorrow! Where it’s actually still today, but GameOnDaily are starting up a new series where we pit good games against each other to find out which one deserves your affection and cold hard cash"
Asa from Gameondaily pits 3 titles against each other:
Infamous: Second Son
Sunset Overdrive
Saints Row 4
Does it still hold up in 2024?
We've still got a few months to go, but October marks the 10-year anniversary of this Insomniac Games title, with the developer having since moved on to work on the Marvel's Spider-Man games for PlayStation. It was assumed that Sunset Overdrive might make its way to other platforms eventually, but that hasn't happened as of yet.
So beloved that it sold so well that there's a sequel and Insomniac never had the opportunity to go back to Sony to develop games exclusively for Sony.
Not beloved enough for Xbox owners to buy it apparently, Xbox was the worst possible audience for that game.
Insomniac: “We went with Microsoft because we want to own the IP so it’s ours”
Microsoft: *owns publishing rights preventing the studio to re-release the original game, make a remaster, remake, any DLC, massive expansions and multiple sequels on other platforms*
The logic is just…I never got it
Owning the IP was Insomniacs main defence when they announced they were making a game exclusively for MS and yet they’ve ended up “owning” an IP they can’t do anything with.
If they went with Sony like normal you might have seen a sequel by now.
Sadly this may never get the proper fps update it deserves on XB (or even PS) but I now play it on steam and it definitely feels better at 60fps than it did at 30. Its a fast paced game... you need that 60fps in this one.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?
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
Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.
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
Not played Infamous but have the other two, Sunset OD isnt a perfect game but it is one of the best of last year.
I played infamous and I found the city to be quite average and boring, the story was also lacking.
But when I played sunset last year I loved it and it was probably my goty behind Fh2. Sunset is a easy and clear winner imo it is just so much fun and playing online was a blast.
Saints row 4 hands down IMO
They all had their own style and uniqueness...
Sunset was bright, colorful and a blast to run around in.
Saint was big and super over the top with more of emphasis on silliness.
Infamous is the Dark Knight Rises of the group even if the main character is all sarcastic it still took it's self way too serious. Didn't play much of it but I heard it wasn't as good as 1 or 2.
It's too bad WiiU doesn't have their own open world game to compare to their competition. Maybe Xenoblade?
I like Infamous 2nd son for the story and gameplay.
Although a bit short it was still fun playing it twice, once as a good delsin and then as evil delsin.
The story dlc fast light was also good. Hope the next game is a longer in game length.
Saints row 4 needs to be more like Saints row 2. Focused and less outlandish.
I know its a Saints game but some of the stuff in the game was unnecessary and boring.
Didn't play SSOD.
