Importing Infamous Saves into Infamous 2

If you beat the original Infamous, collected the 350 blast shards, and earned the Platinum Trophy, chances are you'd be down with Infamous 2 rewards based on those accomplishments. Developer Sucker Punch agrees.

guitarded774752d ago

Yes! Nice to be rewarded for getting the platinum.

BiggCMan4752d ago

The best part is that it reads the trophy data, and not the save data. I lost my original saves for this game when my PS3 died, but I still have the platinum trophy which is great, so I will be able to get these rewards.

Jinxstar4752d ago

I'm n the same boat but at the same time... Do I want to start it on easy mode? Or just play it on a more challenging setting?...

This is going to be something to think on I believe...

Elimin84752d ago

Yeah me too. I was about to ask but I take it by your comment I too am safe!?

AstroZombie14752d ago

Same here too got my hero edition on pre-order can't wait for E3 week, E3 and Infamous 2 = Win.

ReservoirDog3164752d ago

Yeah I'm so glad that it checks trophies instead of saves. Last PS3 died but I got the platinum so I'm cool.

Smart thinking SP.

Digitaldude4751d ago

EPICCCC.
Same I lost my save data when PS3 died but I do have the platinum.

BeOneWithTheGun4751d ago

@all above....Guys, flash drives are dirt cheap. Anytime you beat a game BACK THAT SAVE UP!! :)

NewZealander4751d ago

yeah i lost all my saves after ps3 died too, its crappy how they wipe the hdd

DaTruth4751d ago (Edited 4751d ago )

Great, now I have to go searching for that last stupid blast shard I never found!

1 shard between me and a platinum, but I lost my save so technically I have to get them all again... but it's the last one I remember!(shakes fist at Infamous case)

UnbiasedGamer4752d ago

Blaine4752d ago

@BiggCMan:

Exactly what I was going to say!

TBM4752d ago

Im good then since I platinum it.

saladthieves4751d ago

It's actually sweet! I have 2 infamous saves (1 Hero, 1 infamous) each one completed to 100%, each one with all stunts, side missions, blast shards, dead drops and upgrade powers done, with the platinum there.

I so can't wait!!

Jaces4751d ago

Really awesome! :D

Finally it's nice to be noticed for your trophies and actually being rewarded for all that hard work.

MrDead4752d ago

I just need to do the special moves list then i have the platinum, my god some of them are hard.

BlackTar1874752d ago

i have 1 fricken shard to find. I searched the city for hrs.

guitarded774752d ago

Oh God, I was there once... 1 damn shard. Sucks, I feel your pain. As for the stunts, do them before you beat the game. Once you finish, it's hard to find enemies. Those 2 along with finishing the last enemy (no spoilers) on hard are the 3 toughest.

sorceror1714752d ago

According to the article, you don't have to get *all* the shards, getting 50% of them gets you some extra energy.

Maybe there's other rewards the article doesn't list for the Platinum or something, but it doesn't look like you need the plat to get all the I2 rewards.

GameSpawn4752d ago

Just use the blast shard map on GameFAQs and start marking them off one by one. It's a pain, but you'll eventually find it. Just keep mashing R3 and watching for blue dots.

The 2 hardest things to get plat in Infamous were finishing all the stunts and beating the game on hard.

Some of the stunts require pure freakin luck. Also beating the game on hard was annoying, not because the game was hard; hell it wasn't any different than the other difficulties EXCEPT for the Kessler boss fight. Christ that alone makes the platinum difficulty of the game at least 7/10 if not an 8.

BlackTar1874752d ago (Edited 4752d ago )

see i had no problem with any of that. I did use the shard map ;( but somewhere i missed one going thru them a 2nd time is awful lol.

also 1 stunt that you may need help with is kill 3 peopl eon a rail at the same time. There is a how to on youtube to get them to spawn in the first city after jumping out to the piers. Sounds confusing but i bet you need that one.

I didn't find anything on infamous hard well except the last shard.

I was missing 2 i thought 1 and i climbed up the super tall building that hides one up top thats not pingable from ground level and i saw it and was dancing etc. picked it up and it said you now need 1 more i almost died :(

MrDead4752d ago (Edited 4752d ago )

Yeah I had the one shard left problem, you try to be as methodical as possible but still one shard left. Im sure i found it way off land on one of the small rock outcrops.

Didn't mean to reply to myself then

jack_burt0n4752d ago

Yes you need to search the really high places and the rocky outcrops, piers and the big cranes.

You will get it eventually :)

MrDead4752d ago

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Kee4752d ago

Is this done via trophies or saves because i lost my infamous save when my ps3 ylod'd. I got all them shards too...

BiggCMan4752d ago

Read the article man, its as clear as day.

Kee4752d ago

Well the title says importing SAVES and in the article it says TROPHY sync. So which is it?

jack_burt0n4752d ago

should have been something specific for platinum imo like a skin but great idea better than uncharted 2 which was a bit weak with its save import.

beast242tru4752d ago

i traded infamous for red dead redemption before i got to finish it :(

jimmywolf4752d ago

when ps store back up infamous is one the the "free" games you can pick

Ascalon944751d ago

even though infamous is incredible that is a good trade

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.

Alexious372d ago

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

-Foxtrot372d 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

potatoseal372d ago

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

anast371d 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.

masterfox372d 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_drake371d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy761d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic761d ago (Edited 761d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils761d ago (Edited 761d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic761d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624762d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt23762d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20762d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan762d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889762d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic1424d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish1424d ago (Edited 1424d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic1424d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish1424d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad1424d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan1424d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis1424d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17211424d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

EazyC1424d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking821424d ago (Edited 1424d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
