G4TV: inFamous 2 Review

G4TV writes: "inFAMOUS 2 builds upon the excellent foundation established in its predecessor: give the player mass powers of electric destruction, present a standard good-and-evil moral duality, and let them loose in a city to do as they will. It's likely one of the best superhero-sandbox game ever made, and though it has its flaws, the game remains a polished experience from start to finish".

I liked the IGN video review a little better:

:P

Although the "cons" G4 gave aren't really that bad.

clank5434748d ago

No it's not, it should have been a 5/5. I'm cancelling my preorder cause this game is horrible!!!!!!!!

haha, JK. Great review, keep up the good work, Sucker Punch.

labaronx4748d ago

Outlying areas of the city feel quite dull in comparison the lively heart of town..... that describes new orleans in real life, and pretty much every major city, lol

GREAT SCORE BTW

himdeel4748d ago

Also sounds like playing the game on a harder difficulty would have been warranted. This reviewer clearly feels that Coles powers may be a bit overpowered on the normal difficulty. Too bad there isn't a harder mode than hard. Id easily choose the hardest difficulty right off the bat.

telekineticmantis4748d ago

The lack of consistency, or that's what it seems to be. This is a open world game(which is a genre that I seriously dislike) and they say the pacing is a tad too slow. Now I refer to the Red dead redemption. A game that I ran around in for an hour an a half with no direction because there was no icon indicator on my map to show me where to go next, yet that game is has amazing scores. That is exactly what I hate about most open world games the lack of direction and tediousness. Now with infamous most of the time that game has indications of where to go next and continues to direct the story, and I expect Infamous 2 can't be to far off of that scheme and even if it's not, it couldn't possibly be as bad as Red dead redemption. I wish I could get a explanation, but oh well.

Pintheshadows4748d ago

The reason you hate is the reason I love. My favourite open world games this gen have been inFamous, RDR and Red Faction Guerilla simply because I like messin' about and throwing knives at bears, beavers, armadillos etc.

telekineticmantis4748d ago

and that's cool sometimes, but I can see the point in taking part in a plot where you can get trapped in limbo, with no advancement until you miraculously happpen upon it if you're lucky enough. That's like playing a game of monopoly and continuously sharing the cash and properties so the game never ends.

Figboy4748d ago

lol. Leave it to a game reviewer to complain about being "too powerful" in a video game. lol.

Anyway, I'm loving the UGC Beta, and I can't wait to get my hands on the full game. The Beta alone is infinitely better than the original (mostly thanks to the much more lively and interesting city of New Marais).

I can't wait to get to all those new powers, though, as well as experiencing the storyline, which looks to be more fleshed out than the first.

inFAMOUS is by far one of my favorite new IPs of this generation (with Uncharted being the other). I already got my Hero Edition pre-ordered, so it's just a matter of waiting for that delivery next Tuesday (Amazon's $0.99 release date delivery guaranteed I'd stick with them)!

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

-Foxtrot373d 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

potatoseal373d ago

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

anast372d 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.

masterfox373d 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_drake373d 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. "

Flawlessmic763d ago (Edited 763d 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.

Welshy762d 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.

Flawlessmic762d ago (Edited 762d 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 👌

RedDevils762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

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

Flawlessmic762d 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.

outsider1624763d ago

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

seanpitt23763d ago

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

Luc20763d ago

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

The_Hooligan763d ago

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

moriarty1889763d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k763d ago (Edited 763d ago )

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

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

Mr Logic1426d 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.

DethWish1426d ago (Edited 1426d 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 Logic1425d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish1425d 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

MadLad1425d 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?

anonymousfan1426d 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.

Melankolis1425d 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.

Harkins17211425d 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

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC1425d ago

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

Gamerking821425d ago (Edited 1425d 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 .
