Eurogamer :
"Following in the wake of technological showcase that is Killzone: Shadow Fall, Sony's first-party studios surprise and delight us once again with a stunning new workout for the next-gen PlayStation 4 hardware - inFamous: Second Son. Unfortunately, owing to a combination of factors (GDC, Project Morpheus, Metal Gear Solid and the late arrival of inFamous code, if you're wondering), we didn't have the time to bring you a full tech analysis at launch, but we couldn't mark the arrival of this beautiful title without a spot of Digital Foundry coverage.
We loaded up the game and played through the first hour, bringing you this initial performance analysis, covering off a range of different gameplay scenarios where we can see how Sucker Punch's brand new PlayStation 4 engine performs."
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.
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
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
GB: "There's just something special about the games that could be, and this feature gushes about 15 games that we would love to see on the PS5."
I don't see why they couldn't just lock it at 30 fps.
Anyways, I'm thinking of picking this one up, is it really worth the full price? The reviews are kind of all over the place.
It's not really affecting me that much because it's usually around 30fps...but i would still like the option to lock it at 30fps, like how GG did with Killzone SF. When it hits 60fps or close to it im like "oooh ,that's smooth", then i drops back down and im like "awww man". So i would rather just have a consistent 30fps.
The game is simply amazing, btw. You thought neon was the best power? Think again.
Nice read..... dem particle effects :D
My Impressions
Did a 100% completionist good playthrough of this game in one sitting yesterday, from 4am to 9pm, so it's a straight 15 hour 9/10 game. Can't wait to do evil playthrough.
OT
Radiant Sweep seems to cause the most framerate problems, although it's VERY rare. Definitely wouldn't mind an option to completely lock the framerate though. I get the feeling that my evil playthrough will be very hectic.
P.S.
Protip
Do ALL of the side content, (blast shards, audio logs, DUP agents, stencil art, hidden camera, taking down structures and then district showdowns, etc), before visiting the space needle mission called "The Gauntlet" I did this and became a level 4 paragon from the get go and got upgraded to hero right after meeting fetch. I also had an excess of blast shards so I could unlock every power upgrade as soon as I got new powers or abilities, for example, soon as I got neon run I upgraded it to let me neon run infinitely.
It really helps and it's means you can cruise around doing the early story missions with slightly maxed out abilities. It makes the game much more enjoyable, and yes, you will feel alittle OP with all those upgrades, and yes the effort is worth it. I also recommend that you do this as soon as you get to the second part of the game as well. The feeling of getting a new power from a new character and upgrading them immediately is glorifying.
ALSO
Does anyone know how to link their papertrail account with their psn ID? It only gives me the first mission. Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution.
Very good performance and at 1080P.
