So what I think would make a fun piece of writing, and if all goes according to plan a decent piece of reading, is to take this summer's two suspiciously-similar blockbusters, the electrifying inFamous and... helicopter-kicking Prototype, and put them together in a head-to-head comparison duel to the death!"
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
The inFamous games are an important part of PlayStation history, but the series is in limbo and playing older entries isn't exactly easy.
Would like remasters of 1 and 2. I enjoyed them much more than Second Son.
1 & 2 had more of an emphasis on climbing and the traversal requires a bit more effort in a good way. It was rewarding. Second Son made climbing mostly obsolete so they put little effort into it. The traversal was just great in inFamous 1 & 2. There's a reason Sunset Overdrive copied and improved upon the induction grind mechanic.
Reminds me of how I felt about the decline of parkour and the well designed tombs (basically Prince Of Persia levels) that we saw in the Assassin's Creed games.
The story and atmosphere were also much better in 1 & 2.
Electricity is just a brilliant superpower for an open world city. It perfectly fits just like webslinging does in New York and it has many applications.
Wouldn't the onus be on the consumers? If they bought the Infamous games, then we'd have more games from that series.
I would love to see a new game but a feel that would get a response similar to Saints Row.
Loved all 3 of them. I couldn't get on with the vampire spin off though. Wish they didn't move away from cole but I didn't mind the other character.
Nixxes' Remaster focus could set the stage to resurrect many obscure titles like the karma-centered, superpower-fueled sandbox of Infamous.
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.
I'd like a Killzone 2 Remaster.
Keep the visuals style as is ... just improve the LoD and the resolution
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.
Infamous, Resistance, and killzine are so ripe for a remaster, I wish Sony would make it happen.
No. NO. ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT. IT'S NOT F*CKING FUNNY ANYMORE. Everyone is gonna run on here and be like "Well i plaid both gamez, and, liek, infamus is teh better gaem becauz prototyp has graffix that suk HURR". We know you dont like Prototype, guys. WE KNOW. Coming on here and going "Eet juzt gos to show that the PS3 es teh victor LOL!" makes you look like a retard and will lead to another flame war that will lead nowhere. NOWHERE. EVERYONE IS GONNA START ARGUING AGAIN AND IT WILL GO NOWHERE BECAUSE YOUR OPINION WILL NOT AFFECT ANYBODYS PURCHASE. Okay, infamous is the better game. I came to accept that a long time ago. THe people who are still arguing are the people who will not be swayed. People like both games. I like both games. Live with it. Embrace it. ACCEPT IT AS FACT THAT THERE ARE OWNERS OF INFAMOUS/PROTOTYPE THAT LIKE THEIR GAME BETTER THAN YOUR CHOICE. These games have almost nothing alike; the only reason they're being compared is because the release dates were close together!!! Soul Caliber and Street Fighter are both very alike! Why isn't anybody comparing those two?!? Does some higher up pick what games will be endlessly compared when there are dozens of other games that are SO MUCH MORE alike than these two?!?
NOBODY COMMENT ON THIS F*CKING ARTICLE BECAUSE IT WILL LEAD F*CKING NOWHERE. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.
God...this site. This site and it's utter DESPERATION to start a flame war. I've never seen anything like it. N4G, you're tearing your community apart! YOU'RE TEARING IT APART I TELL YOU! FANBOYS ARE THE BANE OF THE INDUSTRY! WHY HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED THIS?!?
God...please...for the greater good...DON"T COMMENT. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't comment. It's the only way to stop this. THE ONLY WAY TO END THIS.
Rant over.
