inFamous is turning out to be a huge franchise for Sony and Sucker Punch with the anticipation for the sequel at an all time high. The 2009 game, infamous was a great game but had some uneven game play which made sure that infamous would never reach the height of perfection."
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.
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?
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.
It'll be infamous 2, obviously
Wow, the difference is very marginal, surprisingly. While inFamous 2 DOES have smoother animation, better particle and lighting effects and slightly better frame rate, inFamous looks impressive in its own rights. The attention that has been paid to detail in both the games is pretty awesome, and even if Sucker Punch did nothing extra for the graphics, I would be more than happy. Also, I'm glad the great platforming has returned.
@ the fight sequence: WOW! Simply wow. It's spectacular. The cinematic finishing moves and the stylised fighting conbos look great! I can't wait for this game.
I am pretty disappoint, actually, that Sucker Punch aren't opting for live action cutscenes. I personally don't like stylised comic style cutscenes, but oh well. I'm pretty sure the other aspects of the game will make up for the lack of proper cutscenes.
infamous 2 is quite an improvement over infamous as far as graphics are concerned
yes i miss it right now
anyway
Lets compare part 2's
Crackdown 2 vs Infamous 2
:-)
Only PS3 exclusive sequels can make that big of a jump in quality. Exclusive sequels take a back step in quality on other consoles. Crackdown to Crackdown 2 agrees with me.
