Nixxes Software Can't Go Wrong With An Infamous Remaster

Nixxes' Remaster focus could set the stage to resurrect many obscure titles like the karma-centered, superpower-fueled sandbox of Infamous.

[maniacmayhem]

Infamous remaster? How about an Infamous re-Boot! This is one game that doesn't need a remaster, it needs either a proper equal of a reboot of the original. And since Sony is currently in development with Marvel, i can totally see them having guest marvel characters to appear in Cole's world.

[BanginTunes]

This is one of the worst things I have ever read

[1Victor]

I would prefer Warhawk or Starhawk ether or both will keep us fans happy for a looooooooong time

[The_Hooligan]

Warhawk would be awesome! So many good memories playing that game on PS3. They could do a massive 50v50 mode, battle royal with last Warhawk standing, classic 20v20 mode, so many options.

[shinoff2183]

I'd rather infamous. Sonys got enough online bs in the pipeline. No need to add more.

[1Victor]

@shinoff I disagree with you both of those games was extraordinarily fun to play just the satisfaction of transforming your plane into a bot and stomp a enemy then transform and fly off on Starhawk was a experience that hasn’t been replicated since.
The game was extremely valanced to the point you could go against a tank on foot and win with the ratchet or 1 shot a plane doing a massive attack with your tank. In Warhawk you could pick up half your team and fly them to a base and take it over but those are experiences you had to play to know how awesome those game was even YouTube videos don’t do justice to those game.
Anyways I’ll stop here or I’ll run out of words to post a wall text taking about those games

[Christopher]

Here's the thing, infamous and *hawk are such different games and with different audiences that Sony could... do both at the same time? Nixxes doesn't need to be involved in the shooter (that would be new for them I think since they usually do SP games) but someone else could and Nixxes could share support with development/engine needs.

[shinoff2183]

Ya know Christopher is right they are completly different games. Me personally I don't value online games I just don't care for them. Hell in another bubble I probably enjoy them. In this bubble nah I just prefer single player unless I'm playing Mario or Mario party with my girl and kids or something.

[1Victor]

@shin of course I know Chris is right but the games have to be approved first before assignment to a studio I didn’t mean this studio in particular making those game I meant the approval process and Sony harder push on MMO games.
I’m just one of the millions of players that loved those game and a top 800 word wide ranked on Starhawk and proud owner of its platinum trophy

[DankSinatra]

A remaster would allow people who don't have access to a ps3 to experience the game since there's so many stuck on the ps3 that are exclusive to the console and Sony refuses to invest in backwards compatibility

[darthv72]

Who doesnt have access to a ps3? There were over 87m of them sold. They are cheap and easy to find. Just like wii and ps2.

[shinoff2183]

Or maybe it's just not ready yet, ps3 was a different kinda animal.

[DankSinatra]

@darthv72

Not everyone is willing to go out and buy a ps3 for a single game or a handful of games when they have a ps4 or a ps5. A port or remaster would actually help. Younger audiences who did not grow up with a ps3 would have exposure to these games that Sony has essentially left behind on the ps3 due to them not investing in backwards compatibility. If they would do backwards compatibility then we wouldn't need to shill out more money for the same games. Something I actually applaud microsoft for (the only thing they have done that's good).

[zaanan]

Agree, and PS3 is getting long in the tooth, so failure rates will be going up. I had to send my slim in for repair years ago.

[shinoff2183]

I had a couple extra dollars and came across I guy selling ps3s for 50. I bought all 4. Just felt it was a good deal. Now if I could find controllers. I swear I can't find any cheap controllers around me

[jeromeface]

go back to marvel avengers, sounds like more your cup of tea

[KwietStorm_BLM]

You know what, now that I think about it.. yeah none of that makes any sense.

[TheKingKratos]

Lol 😂😂😂

[Christopher]

Yes to a reboot, absolutely no to Marvel characters in it.

[maniacmayhem]

*either a proper equal of a reboot of the original. *

Damn, there needs to be an extension on the Edit feature.

"Either a proper sequel or a reboot of the original"

And people aren't with Cole interacting with cameos from Marvel? Especially with Sony making Spider Man and Wolverine?

Why exactly would that be a bad idea? Especially with the multiverse being a huge deal and all.

[Christopher]

***Why exactly would that be a bad idea? Especially with the multiverse being a huge deal and all.***

There's enough Marvel. Let's not spread it everywhere and let other IPs be their own thing. Please.

[neutralgamer1992]

Infamous 1-2 collection would be amazing on current generation. God of War 1-2 and PSP games also playable on PS5 Yes please. And last but not least MGS4

There are so many great games which are on PS3. We need them to be remastered and released for current generation.

[GoodGuy09]

Idk why sony hasn't done remasters for 1+2 yet. Such great gems.

[RaidenBlack]

I'd like a Killzone 2 Remaster.
Keep the visuals style as is ... just improve the LoD and the resolution

[RaidenBlack]

*visual-style

[Cockney]

*visual style

[ArchangelMike]

Now that COD is in Microsofts back pocket, it's time for Sony to start investing in it's own 1st party shooters. I loved Killzone - even Shadowfall. But Yeah Killzone 2 was the high point of the Franchise.

[ClayRules2012]

Yes. KZ2 was the high point of the franchise and a strong, solid and just bloody fantastic shooter! Had so much fun those days with the game.

[Neonridr]

Shadowfall was my first introduction into the series as the PS4 was my first Sony console. Maybe compared to the others it was not great (personally I don't know), but I had a blast playing it and found it quite enjoyable. I'd love a Trilogy Remaster though so I could go back and enjoy the original 3 for the first time (with a new coat of paint + updated controls)

[shinoff2183]

Naw were good. There's plenty in the sea

[zaanan]

It’s about damn time for a Resistance trilogy remaster!

[long-time-gamer]

Most def the highest point of the franchise, the music, gameplay and story was awesome

[ironmonkey]

absolutely right! killzone has been quiet long enough since ps4 release date.

[long-time-gamer]

man id love a killzone 2 remaster, its one of my favorite games of all time, but who knows what shape that code in and where its at, prob wont happen under jim ryan though! you can keep your fingers crossed though and see what happens but GG is all about Horizon now

[P_Bomb]

Killzone 2, I’ll raise a glass to that! 🍺

[Vits]

There is a lot of the PS3 era that I would love to see ported/remastered. But, unfortunately, they are probably not commercially viable and I have no idea who owns the rights currently. Stuff like Sire: Blood Curse, White Knight Chronicles, Tokyo Jungle, Folklore, etc.

Infamous on the other hand was never a series that I found good or interesting. Especially when compared with other contemporaries like Prototype. But, given how bare the subgenre is right now, I would dig a remaster.

[BehindTheRows]

Sony owns Siren. I can’t speak for the rest.

As for inFAMOUS vs Prototype, I feel the opposite. inFAMOUS mopped the floor with it, quality and gameplay. Just felt far more polished. That said, I enjoyed Prototype’s powers a little more.

[Vits]

Fair enough, I agree that the production values of inFamous were higher. But I found it to be a snore-fest.

[darthv72]

...no meed. Sony could add ps3 support to the 5 and then people can play loads of games already available. No streaming required. Rpcs3 could be adapted to run on the 5... it would solve so many problems.

[Vits]

No need, because they instead could do these two other things that they have shown no interest in doing? Sure.

[Shane Kim]

But then they couldnt charge you for remaster (even though I would love one for infamous) or charge you for PSN premium.

[darthv72]

It would be even funnier if the series x gets rpcs3 support and can play the ps3 games while ps5 still cannot (not without streaming them)

[shinoff2183]

Don't most people still have issues with rpcs3. It's not as stable as alot of emulators out there. From what I've read

[zaanan]

My kids and I had a fun time in Tokyo Jungle!

[long-time-gamer]

prototype def was not on the same level as infamous far as gameplay or graphics

[Pocahontas]

It was legitimately bad game.

[isarai]

Infamous, Resistance, and killzine are so ripe for a remaster, I wish Sony would make it happen.

[umair_s51]

Add Motorstorm

[boing1]

I would really love the remaster of InFamous 2.

[BanginTunes]

There's a good deal of PS3 games that would benefit from a simple 4k 60fps port but these days I'd expect Sony to do full remakes rather than remasters due to things like accessibility features etc.

I just wish they made more PS3 ports like they did with TLOU, Uncharted and GOW3 because there's a lot of great games stuck behind poor framerates - seems like RPCS3 is the way to go

[Profchaos]

I just can't see them putting in the effort for anything from the 7th gen given the current state of PS3 emulation a lot of PC gamers can effectively make a DIY remaster of the game on midrange hardware.y PC with a 2070 and 8700k runs infamous at 60 fps 1080p easily and that's quite outdated these days.

Not saying this couldn't be the basis for a ps5 remaster also but given nixies primarily focus on PC seems unlikely and given Sony would rather offer 7th gen games via cloud were just stuck in limbo on console hardware until Sony figure out emulation

[ocelot07]

Loved the 3 infamous games. Couldn't get on with festival of blood but the 3 main games where great. Wouldn't mind a remaster and a new entry.

[SlothLordPootus]

I've been wanting a remaster/remake of 1 and 2 SOOO bad. Some of my favorite games of the generation, and were short so I played through them multiple times.

Unfortunately the games only dold a couple million copies, so i have my doubts we'll see anything. The animations are also a bit rough, so whatever they release would likely require a fair amount of work.

[Muigi]

I’d like a Resistance Trilogy Remaster personally.

[isarai]

3 especially deserves another shot at higher fidelity. Game is the definition of criminally overlooked

[Muigi]

Agreed

[zaanan]

^THIS. THIS SO MUCH

[NovusTerminus]

I just want Gravity Rush 1+2 on PC...

[Fonsecap]

How about forgetting the infamous second son ever existed and continue the Cole saga, infamous 3 or whatever, no more remasters and remakes please, new Killzone game with good campaign and not trying to be cod...

[Doge]

Highly doubtful, but would definitely be surprising.

[shadowknight203]

Starhawk or Warhawk. Or resistance fall of man. Or Motorstorm original. Thats it. Otherwise, we don't need it.

[LoveSpuds]

Quite how the Infamous series fall into the category of 'obscure games' is beyond me.

Personally, I would be happy with a re-release with even the most basic of improvements such as higher resolution & framerate, absolutely loved this series (including Second Son).

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I LOVED the Infamous series (except the last one it was trash) so I’d welcome a revisit to the series.

[RavenWolfx]

I bought my PS3 just for Infamous, so I would love to see a Remake, instead of a Remaster. Gameplay for the first gets pretty repetitive after a little while. Loved the story, though.

[z2g]

I’d def be down for that. I’d rather a new game altogether but a rebuild would still be good.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I would rather see a reboot of Insomniac PS1 classic DISRUPTOR . At least that game is 28 years old .

[dmonee]

Im all about another infamous game. Why does it have to be a reboot or remaster? Why not an entirely new infamous game. I feel like reboots are lazy at this point. So we’re basically playing the same games for the last 10-15 yesrs, with current gen updates, instead of new content. New content, that pushes the potential of current generation hardware.

[DeadManMMX]

Why do people still mix up Remaster with Reboot? I just finished this game it's pretty damn Ugly they should Remake it. Working through on the platinum for 2 now and it is huge leap in graphics fidelity but its still a 12 or so year old game.

[DeadManMMX]

I was actually 100% certain that Sony was going to do both a Infamous and Resistance collection last gen. Completely wrong on that one. Just like I'm gonna be wrong about Parasite Eve and Legend of Dragoon this gen. Arrgh.

[Ravenkiss]

Nixxes should port Ghost of Tsushima on PC first, Infamous can still wait.

[Shiore2u]

It was part of the GeForce Now leak so we know it's coming.

[Demetrius]

These 2 games should def be at the top of Sony's remaster list, I enjoy all 3 systems but why slick arrogant never wanting to listen to fans in certain ways, Sony knows damn well we been wanting these remastered mane lol imagine how good they could look on PS5 🔥, by this rate Microsoft will remaster a gem before Sony do lol even Nintendo just did

[lellkay]

If they were gonna do anything from Infamous it would likely be Second Son/First Light for PC.

[Pyrofire95]

It's the only remaster I'd be really looking forward to and it could REALLY use it. The original is still trapped on PS3 and it always looked like a ps2 game. I don't care TOO much about visuals but having a fresh coat of paint would be so fun. It's just a fun game to move around the city. really makes electric powers so much fun.
(2 wouldn't hurt either.)
