In a lot of games, the environment is just a backdrop for the action. Sucker Punch knows that the city in Infamous 2, however, will need to serve a great purpose. It needs to be a part of the action. Since Infamous 2 is an open-world game, and since players will be repeatedly passing by certain landmarks, its city needs to have a unique visual identity that feels fresh even after several hours of exploration...
Ghost of Yotei can be followed up with spin-offs, confirms the Creative Directors at Sucker Punch Productions.
Kind of surprising because I don’t know how they’d do spin offs given that they are now making each new game about a different Ghost. When you spin off it’s usually about a different character or location but they are already doing that here.
Only thing I can think of is Jin making a return with a direct follow up to Tsushima and then eventually Yotei will get the same treatment.
*shudder*
I didn’t think about live service
As for Legends, I think doing it as an update after launch for the current game is a better way than a separate game entirely
I think people are throwing around the word spin-off without really knowing what it means. As far as I know, or maybe this is just my interpretation, but a spin-off is something that features someone who was already introduced in a main entry.
So in my mind, Ghost of Yotei is it's own standalone entry in an anthology. Whereas a Ghost of Tsushima spin-off would be if we got something like a game, novel, comic or series focusing on Yuna, Kenji, Tomoe or some other character from the game.
That’s how I’d understand it. I thought they’d go back to Jin though. Imo his story needs a sequel.
I mean or you could make a new Sly Cooper, InFamous, or new IP and not milk this series...
So Ghost of Yotei is milking the series... but making a new Sly Cooper or Infamous isn't?
I believe his point is that both series have been gone long enough where regardless of how many entries there are, he (and others) miss the franchise and wouldn't feel like it's considered "milking" due to the massive time gap.
When a gameplay style or characters are gone for so long, its only natural to want to see it return, right?
Mix it up, don't just pigeon hole yourself to make only samurai games, toss in some variety. But if Sucker Punch doesn't want to do that, so be it.
We have had 4 sly cooper games (not including the collection), 3 infamous games (not including the spin-off first light) and so far only 2 ghost games so i wouldn't really call it milking the series. Now, i wouldn't mind also getting another sly or infamous game though.
So, they’re not going to work on different things? Just Ghost and spin-offs for years to come? Please don’t Ass Creed this IP
Feels like Sony's thing lately studio struck gold and 10 years later they are still toiling away at the same IP tlou and horizon two of the biggest examples
Meet the team at Sucker Punch Productions!
I need more from the Ghost's legend mode, too addicting but ran out of things to do after a few months, can't get enough of it.
This means a new IP reveal is coming, right?
Why else educate the masses on a studio’s branding, if not to show off something that isn’t a sequel?
More action adventure titles in development or they actually going to dip their toes in an RPG? Tired of Sony’s formulaic titles
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
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
How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?
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.
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.
