ScreenCritics Claudiu revisits one of the PlayStation 4's early offerings - 'Infamous Second Son'. Does it hold up several years later?
Huzaifah from eXputer writes, "My favorite type of genre in games is when enemies are merely animal fodder in the eyes of the protagonist's sheer power."
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
quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.
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.
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. :)
Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown
Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5
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?
I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.
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.
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.
Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
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.
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
Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.
@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.
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
You know this wasn't a PS4 launch title right? It came out in 2014, not 2013
Just started an evil playthrough last night and already be at it as a hero when I first got my Pro so it definitely holds up. Just annoying having to sit through cutscenes when on a 2nd run.
Just replayed this last week for the first time since launch. Played it on the PS4 Pro on a 65" Samsung KS8000 (upgrade from an old Sammy 50" plasma), and 4K and HDR take a game that looked amazing at the time and improves it noticeably.
Game itself is still loads of fun. Did the evil playthrough this time, and it actually felt more like canon to me.
Thought this was a very fun game. The animations were noticeably awesome in this title. I never liked the infamous series but I really enjoyed this one.
Edit: Fixed autocorrect
Really under appreciated title in my opinion, I had such a good time with it when it released. While not as good as the earlier Infamous titles and despite a kind of unlikeable protagonist, I think the game is still a cracker with fantastic production values and brilliant game play.
