Ign.com: E3 2010: Infamous 2 Preview

The wait is over. Infamous 2 is here. If those words mean anything to you, I probably don't need to recap the Sucker Punch's 2009 hit Infamous, but I will. Players took on the role of Cole McGrath, a bike messenger who gained electricity-based superpowers after a bomb went off in his hands. Spread out over three islands, Infamous had you grinding along power lines, leaping from rooftops, and hurling lightning bolts at baddies from across the screen.

WE have to WAIT till next year! dammit!

Cloudberry5090d ago

Is also for next year......... T_T

What the? Huge graphical leap over the first. Looks like they're using MLAA.

dc15090d ago

"Big ups" to you for inserting a Yakuza 4 reference in here.

Looking forward to Infamous 2 . However it feels like this is a reboot. The original Cole was a very interesting character. You simply can not play/complete the game without loving the genuineness of the character

raztad5090d ago

@Ghost

Yeah it's a HUGE upgrade.

Why do you think it is using MLAA?

sikbeta5090d ago (Edited 5090d ago )

It's So Awesome to Know you have to buy Loads of Amazing Games for the PS3, kind of ripping of my wallet, but it really worth...

O-T

just Awesome, I Can wait to try the New Powers, a total Blast...

"Eventually – after some improved parkour and gliding – Cole caught up to Bertrand, the two had a conversation, and a helicopter popped on to the scene by knocking Cole off of the villains car and onto the pavement. This started a sequence where Cole – controlled by the player – ran from the chopper. Machine gun fire rained down, and when a rocket hit too close, Cole was knocked down. This proximity knockdown happened earlier in the demo when a RPG hit next to our hero, and the animation for Cole getting leveled was impressive."

O_O

this just makes the wait so much harder. Sucker Punch are Gods!

MNicholas5090d ago

and retain the sandboxness I'll be impressed.

raztad5090d ago

Totally true. Good you mention it. People need to remember inFAMOUS is an open world game, but beyond the textures and AA, I think all the destruction, crazy lightning would put this game well above the competence.

I want to see a real demo. inFAMOUS was the most glaring omission in Sony conference.

- Ghost of Sparta -5090d ago

@ raz: Well, if the real-time screenshots are any indication of what's to come (I couldn't find any jaggies), inFamous 2 will share the same technique Sony demanded for God of War 3 and Killzone 3. I remember there being an assload of AA complaints regarding the first inFamous. Complaints which I agreed with. It wouldn't be out of the question for an open-world game like inFamous to use the technique either as The Saboteur on PS3 reigned visually superior for this reason.

so much I really do.

Thanks for the first party love sony /hugs ps3

Sillyace925090d ago

Yeah, Come on everyone lets all praise Sony for what there doing for us. It's not like they're doing this to get our money. No, Sony would never do this to us.

/sarcasm

That's how stupid you sound

seij5555090d ago

He is just happy Sony isn't trying to throw some casual camera shit at us and invested in amazing first party developers.

ArcFatalix5090d ago

its called quality AAA games, they can easily use use low quality stuff instead of spending 90 million on GT5, taking risk on heavy rain etc.

nix5090d ago

great first party games!! no doubt! that's why i'm a gamer!

Sillyace925090d ago

Well, dude, instead of praising Sony and trying to show how great they are why don't you actually commend the developers on their work because it is of course their game and not Sony's.

But no, you're trying to showcase your belief that Sony is better than Nintendo or Microsoft.

shqype5090d ago

Is it not Sony that gave these developers the canvas they work from? Is it not Sony that gives these developers the resources and support to help them complete their projects?

Sony understands what its userbase wants and delivers on it. That is something its userbase respects and appreciates.

bjornbear5090d ago (Edited 5090d ago )

by taking a big dump over his adoration for the entertainment he gets out of his console.

why would you do that? who are you tell someone they sound dumb because they are praising quality?

yes they want money, but it doesn't mean they can't/aren't spoiling us with quality.

i smell butt hurt..

@ "But no, you're trying to showcase your belief that Sony is better than Nintendo or Microsoft."

no he's not, he didn't mention either of them, you did, you just took it that way because YOU interpreted his comment as such, which shows you sensitive about the matter.

once again...butt huuuurt, don't sit down.

Sillyace925090d ago (Edited 5090d ago )

@shqype
Canvas? are you serious? You fanboys are delusional, you think everything in this world is righteous and that Sony is the ultimate company.

@bjornbear
How do I sound more stupid if my comments aren't made on exagerrated beliefs. I would comment the same to the person if it was in Microsoft's or Nintendo's perspective. "Man, I'm so glad I have a Wii because all the good games are there" I would attack that guy too.

But you on the other hand feel compelled to attack me because I'm going against what you believe is the holy messiah, the PS3; not because I sounded stupid and that you'll be backed up by your fellow supporters.

And I guarentee the only reason you say I sound stupid is for an ironic insult.

But you on the other hand must be "butt hurt" because I'm right. And because you probably think I hate Sony or I'm a different fanboy for a "diferent faction".

DJexs5090d ago

What they have done to cole is wrong in my opinion after what he has been through he shouldn't be all bright and cheery.

Cloudberry5090d ago

Just wait until the game arrives guys.

Then you could praise / bash the new Cole later.

DJexs5090d ago

Did you play the first game. Because he has nothing to be happy about now they made him look like an extreme sports athlete and he has a new voice actor. Not to mention he magically got new powers.

GraySnake5090d ago (Edited 5090d ago )

we have no idea how Cole got the new powers. Kessler could teleport and such... Cole is going to the city where the FS built the ray sphear so who knows what sorta crazy crap will be there..anybody know how much time has passed from if1 to if2? if its like a year or so..id think he get over most of his issues, especially if this is following the good ending. idk im just glad animation and graphics were improved and some new features were added to this impressive sequel.

Edit: i couldn't type for some reason lol

TheDuke775090d ago

I hope there is at least an explanation in the game for why changed Cole from a bad ass to a gay EXTREME athlete. Like maybe Kessler comes back and shoots him with a rainbow? I wonder if they will show the big unicorn tattoo on his chest

LarVanian5090d ago

@ The duke
Don't know about you but I have seen many men with that look. Even I wear those type of clothes during summer, and I have never been told I look gay.
Can you please explain what exactly makes Cole look as if he is sexually attracted to men? If he was wearing a tight see through vest and ass-less leather pants then I could understand you saying he looks gay. He looks pretty normal to me so why in Gods name do you think he looks like a gay athlete?

inFamous 3: We Want 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.

Alexious367d ago

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot367d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

potatoseal367d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast366d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox367d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake367d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic757d ago (Edited 757d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy756d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic756d ago (Edited 756d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils756d ago (Edited 756d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic756d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624757d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt23757d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20757d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan757d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889757d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k757d ago (Edited 757d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

A brand new version of the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, brings major graphical improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more.

Game-ur1420d ago

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic1419d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish1419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic1419d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish1419d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad1419d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan1419d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis1419d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17211419d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking821419d ago (Edited 1419d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
