inFamous 2 preview fails to curb doubts over sequel

The inFamous 2 hands-on preview from TheSixthAxis.com does little to dispel Kapow Games' fears the sequel will be as lacking in electricity as the first. The Comic Book Videogames Blog discusses their hopes and fears for Cole's second adventure complete with screens and video clip from The PlayStation Experience.

I'm a bit worried that there seems to be a lot of emphasis on hand to hand combat. I really enjoyed blasting people with all sorts of ranged electro attacks in the original, so they better not take em away!

Deanways5248d ago

I'm sure they won't. Did you feel it took far to long to unlock all his abilities though? I got tired of using the R1 attack pretty quickly.

Tachyon_Nova5248d ago

To be honest I also doubt they will tamper with the ranged attacks much, buts it's just down to wether the game will be designed such that they are useable or if it's designed for up close and personal combat.

It's been a long time since I've played inFamous so I'm not sure how long it took me to rank everything up, but I don't really remember feeling too restricted by my weaponry.

SoapShoes5248d ago

What doubts? This article is pretty ridiculous, no one is worried about it.

HolyOrangeCows5247d ago

Anti-Ps3 news is lucrative material.

Take something that is doing really well and releasing loads of great exclusives, say something preposterous about it in the title, get a million views.

Deanways5248d ago (Edited 5248d ago )

'...no one is worried about it.'

Somebody obviously is...

SuperStrokey11235248d ago

Or someone is just fishing for hits...

ABizzel15248d ago

I find it funny how every PS3 game is going under scrutiny this year. People must find fault in it, because Sony just can't have an amazing year.

AssassinHD5248d ago

It has been going on since 2006 actually. You don't need to wear a tin foil hat to see that PS3 exclusives get nitpicked to death by the media.

"Hey, we didn't actually get to play it but SixthAxis did. So we're going to speculate that the game is repetitive. Derp."

I hate giving clicks to these damn articles. What the hell does they mean anyways? By nature, ALL games are repetitive.

Deanways5248d ago

Sure by nature all games are repetitive but it took me a lot less time to lose interest in inFamous than it did GTA4 for example, which got a lot more stick for samey missions.

I think as long as the game is engaging enough you can replay the same set-pieces and scenarios over and over again without complaint. Unfortunately, and it breaks my heart to say it, I just didn't feel inFamous did was that game.

schlanz5248d ago

Hmm, I was the opposite. GTA4 just didn't pull me in at all.. I stopped playing after about 5 hours.

But I played inFamous twice.

GarandShooter5248d ago

Writer, contributor, defender. Why are these always the lowest quality articles?

Trevonn5248d ago

GTA4=THE BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENT THIS GEN

SuperStrokey11235248d ago

I think that actually goes to FF13 or FF14 TwistyTrev

Trevonn5247d ago (Edited 5247d ago )

Sucker Punch To Work On Franchise Spin-Offs After Ghost Of Yotei

Ghost of Yotei can be followed up with spin-offs, confirms the Creative Directors at Sucker Punch Productions.

-Foxtrot264d ago (Edited 264d ago )

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.

isarai264d ago

Legends? Or maybe code for GAAS 😔

-Foxtrot264d ago

*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

lukasmain263d ago

Maybe some "Iki Island" sized "spin-offs". Which I would love.

Daeloki263d ago

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.

lellkay262d ago

Maybe a spin off dedicated to a side character established in GOT or GOY?

victorMaje262d ago

That’s how I’d understand it. I thought they’d go back to Jin though. Imo his story needs a sequel.

Relientk77263d ago

I mean or you could make a new Sly Cooper, InFamous, or new IP and not milk this series...

Daeloki263d ago

So Ghost of Yotei is milking the series... but making a new Sly Cooper or Infamous isn't?

Chocoburger262d ago

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.

The_Hooligan262d ago

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.

Jin_Sakai263d ago

Would much rather have a new Infamous game or even a new IP after Ghost of Yotei.

CrimsonWing69262d ago

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

Profchaos262d ago

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

StoneTitan262d ago

You mean every studio in existence?

PitbullMonster262d ago (Edited 262d ago )

Probably for the directors cut edition of GoY for the PS6.

Meet the team at Sucker Punch Productions!

victorMaje673d ago (Edited 673d ago )

Ghost of Tsushima and SP were my 2020 goty & dev of the year.

Starman69670d ago

Christ, ghosts of Tsushima was absolute epic on ps5. Top 5 of all time for me 👍

northpaws671d ago

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.

MIDGETonSTILTS17671d ago

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?

AdonisIsBeast671d ago

More action adventure titles in development or they actually going to dip their toes in an RPG? Tired of Sony’s formulaic titles

MIDGETonSTILTS17671d ago

I love Sony’s consistent output.

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.

Alexious759d ago

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

-Foxtrot758d 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

lukasmain758d ago

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

anast757d 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.

masterfox758d 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_drake758d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.
