GP blogger, Obsidian writes, "A City that Isn't New York-esque
One of the issues many open world games have is choosing a setting that relies too heavily upon a real world location; like in inFamous, Prototype, and Spiderman 2, the city is heavily based on New York. inFamous 2 deftly sidesteps this problem with a new location called New Marais – a city with a pulse, culture and a unique feel to it, making this setting one of a kind. By changing their location, Sucker Punch has allowed for a much more vibrant and lively color palette as well as a great sense of individuality that may help inFamous 2 stand out from the pack of open world games. New Marais is influenced by New Orleans, which has never before been featured as a game setting, so the possibilities this opens up are quite nice. Not to mention the revamped enemy design for this new setting! What comes with a bayou-style setting is much more monstrous and horrifyingly incredible enemies. Compared to inFamous, this choice seems much more interesting and a definite perk of the setting."
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.
This game is gonna be so bad ass.
Played the tutorial with my bro, will continue the rest during the weekend.
Next InFamous 2 on June 7, I can't wait.
BTW, unrelated but have the classes changed from the beta? I haven't checked.
inFamous 2 looks to be good.. Can't wait.
the first one was awesome, loved the game so much haha but def hope they will add more things to do in the game. maybe like mini-games?
