OmNomNomNomNom Tbh i kinda prefer the first one.Just by a bit though.Well i prefer the *story* in the second one,but the 1st game as a whole is in my opinion a tiny bit better. I love all three of the games though.But my favorite has to be Second Son.
So in order to carry out his plan, Kessler had to go back in time in order speed up the particle accelerator explosion to give Barry Allen his powers faster..... wait.. wrong story.
They only decided the good karma version was canon in order to release Second Son. If you play evil karma, you get an entirely different game, so it's like two games in one. One of many reasons this game is my all-time fave.
Fun Fact, originally they were going to use the Infamous 2 Evil path as cannon for the Third Infamous game, but once they looked at the PSN trophy statics they deiced to use the good ending which many more people had gotten then the evil.
For that reason alone I am glad this game comes out on Friday, that way I can let infamous second son consume my life without having to worry about work getting in the way.
Everyone who's curious to how the conduits survived the wiki says some people had natural resistance to the explosion. Also it's possible the conduit gene wasn't dominant in some people and skipped them but reappeared in their descendants. If this incorrect forgive me I don't know much about genetics.
inFAMOUS SECOND SON has kinda let me down. I love the updated graphics and everything that they did with the lighting but everything else, especially story wise, pales in comparison to the first two instalments of the game. inFAMOUS 2 was so much richer: the consequences of Cole’s good/evil decisions were more profound and behind each choice there was a realistic motivation; the missions were more varied, with several factions to face and numerous enemy types to fight, not to mention the abundant and interesting boss fights; the map was more developed, providing very different battlegrounds as the story progressed; Cole’s powers also allowed for a more customisable and tactical fighting experience, one that allowed you to interact with and weaponise the environment, using it to your advantage.
they spent so long on the graphics everything else was subpar, I hope that if a sequel comes out it will be better, I watched a pair of videos by PositivelyNegative and saw what he wanted for the new game, and I whole-heartedly agree with hjim, I recommend you check them out.
Infamous 1 was the shit for me. I mean I never played a free roaming super hero game like that since Spiderman. Plus the story was really great, the comic book style cutscenes were cool. I passed on Infamous 2, but can't wait to play second son.
Braindead down syndromatic Logang pauler GoB player I absolutely loved the second one. Although that was probably since I played the second one before the first and I didn't have anything ruined for me.
Okay one major problem with this: in the game Cole states that the RFI wont just kill lots of conduits, it will kill ALL conduits. It even shows at the end of the game, people on the other side of the planet dropping dead, who didn't even know they were conduits... So how can Second Son take place if they're all dead.. I guess they've changed it so not all died, bugs me..
Dr. Wolfe claimed the RFI would kill them all, but never had any proof to back this up. Some people confuse this with the fact that it was proven by Dr. Wolfe.
Sucker Punch themselves stated that the RFI killed most conduits but that only a minority survived it. Also the fact that the RFI would kill all conduits was a hypothesis by Dr. Wolfe and not something that was proven.
If I remember correctly a while ago during an interview or something they said that even though it killed the majority of conduits some with a stronger conduit gene survived.
Luke Pajarillo so Cole is from the 'First Sons' in some way because he is part of the first conduit generation, and Densil is from de second generation so he is from the 'Second sons'
Originally, the bad side was supposed to be canon by the Devs, but when the second was made they changed it because most people chose to get the good ending.
I remember watching a video before Second Son came out which theorized the Alden Tate from inFAMOUS 1 would have created another conduit society after Cole basically destroyed the First Sons. It would also give a reason as to why Tate survived inFAMOUS, because there basically no reason to have him live after jumping off of the bridge. I don't think even the comics explained what happened to him.
The next INFAMOUS game should be a continuation of the evil ending of inFAMOUS 2 where we play as Cole using the Beast's powers and we have an army of conduits
"And A New See-Through Top....." I Just Love How Greg ( The Narrator ) Made The Audience Take A Few Seconds To Appreciate THAT Bit. Awesome Delivery On The Infamous Story By the Greg ! .
Liamjm The start of 2nd game is neutral to whatever path was taken in the 1st game. The ending of 2nd game as evil is everything you saw in the video except at the end Cole basically becomes the Beast and all the humans are wiped out. Oh and you kill *** and are forced to also kill **** on your path to the dark side. Really good ending that was worth playing through again. The last bit of the game is very different mission/emotions than the good play through.
InFamous side story Spoiler Alert!!! WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! I WARNED YOU!!!! its not called infamous evil. its just the infamous side, they played the hero side. in InFamous 2 Cole kills Zeke and Nix, the beast can't fight anymore and gives Cole his powers. Cole will have to clense the plague and reveal the conduit gene from the people who lived.
For those new players just getting into Infamous: You don't really have to play the first two games to understand the story. Also, Cole might be alive since he didn't mention that the boat was struck by lightning right before the ending.
that was to signify that we don't know what will happen next, it was in the shape of a question mark, I really hope Cole doesn't come back, it would completely undermine his sacrifice.
Great video! I really appreciate these videos because I for one did not get to play the previous infamous games. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
When I first saw Second Son's trailer I thought that Delsin would be one of Nix's relatives because of the whole smoke thing. Now I get that conduits don't work like that and I was a huge dumbass.
This was excellent! An awesome summary to help my story understanding for one of my favourite games series Dat background music tho. I need to know what it is!! O_O
Aw man , my brother sold his ps3 so i never got to finish any infamous , i got almost to the end of the first one. This video was great for setting me up for Second Son. Now , I only need to buy the ps4 :(
holy shit, what a story!! i feel more terrible than ever for picking up a shitbox 360 than a ps3 back in 2009......never again microshaft, never again.
Im glad IGN made this video I never played Infamous2 so I was so like what when I found out john was the beast. I also hope Infamous SS is reviewed by Greg Miller because the fact that he really cares about the story AND PLEASE IGN DONT SPOIL ANY OF THE OTHER POWERS IN INFAMOUS SS.... I have to wait til may to get my PS4 :(
the one thing i hated about the new second son game is that the good and evil side powers and story are almost identical (like copy and paste identical) in Infamous 1 and 2 the 2 sides are very different
I never played inFamous but that was due to my only owning a 360. (i've been all xbox since it first released up until now). I always wanted to play though and this video really helps me understand what the hell is going on in the game. 3/21/14 can't wait!
I've been putting off infamous series for years due to me playing uncharted,resistance,killzone,god of war,etc.. but I'm finally playing infamous and so far I'm loving it. It's a lot of fun and refreshig
I never played the first infamous but I did play part two and this review cleared up what I thought happened in the first one, plus this was an excellent review; can't wait for second son!!
***** I always thought that would have made a great prequel, tell the story of the how the original Cole went off the deep end and turned into a villain. The only down side is that there would be no reason for the morality system because, being a prequel, we already know how its going to end so it wouldn't make sense to allow you to be good or bad. Or at the very least, make into a comic book mini series or something (preferably by Dark Horse.
***** true but I think it's already quite clear that he did it out of guilt over his family because it wasn't until they died that he made the decision to go back in time.
I got a PS4 because of second son a few days ago. It was well worth it. It's a really short game though, but other than that the story's good, gameplay is amazing and not even to mention how epic the graphics are. The game was worth every cent, I'm still playing side missions, and I might play it again for evil karma.
TCTNGaming the fact that infamous second son's graphics really showed how powerful the ps4 is, kinda dissapoints me because it might not take very long to reach the ps4's peak
I don't really think that, because games will get optimized better as time goes, developpers will find ways to make games look better with worse hardware, I mean look at infamous one and compare it to some of the latest PS3 games like last of us. I hope that's going to be the same with the PS4
Actually no o.O the FPS only dropped ones when I did the neon blast thing and there was just too much stuff going on on the screen but other than that works perfectly.
Wait, if Kessler's entire motive was to give Cole his powers early and get him ready to fight the beast and save everyone (including Trish) then why did he kill her in the first game? isn't that undermining everything he worked for in the first place?
I believe because trish was probably a motivating factor not to fight the beast, but of course she is killed by the beast anyway, so if Kesler went back in time and killed trish, I wouldnt make that much of a difference, and also if she were alive then she would have been a distraction.
***** Kessler was the most interesting part of inFamous 1 and 2, in my opinion, maybe the next inFamous could be an alternate timeline Kessler game. Now that would be cool.
James Wiebe There was no Kessler in inFAMOUS 2. Just John White, Zeke, and Cole went from first game to 2nd game. Even Moira (or whatever her real name is) was never heard from again after first game.
Faewulf I think the original was what helped the ps3 live on for some people, since gta4 was definitely not the reason it passed, and since most hero/shooter games were trashy and just copied each other.
Being a lover of all things Infamous, playing every iteration in every way and now eager to go back and redo it for the good side (yeah, played bad the first time on both games XD) as well as to acquire every single trophy and platinum this epic game, I found this video to be quite entertaining, and it gave a good overhead of the story that was so stunningly narrated that it makes the story I once called just "good" seem far more amazing. Great work here, Greg, and anyone else involved with this video over at IGN. Oh, and I especially love the way it ended. Just a little down that I am not an owner of the PS4 (yet) :( Gotta wait till the summer when I start my job.
Wait... doesn't this mean the actual ending that happened was the bad one? Cause In the good one it gets rid of all conduits and that would include the conduits in infamous second son. But in the bad one, cole goes around and unlocks conduits' abilities. Am I wrong?
Even that doesn't make sense. Because in the evil ending of infamous 2 all of the human non-conduits where killed off. So in your scenario all of the humans would have been killed off. No, this leaves only one possibility. The events in Second Sons takes place during the events of Infamous 2.
It takes place seven years after the events of New Marais (Marias?) and follows the good ending of inFamous 2; even though it is said that conduits all over the world died.
It may be 2019 but after watching this video again it's making me want to turn on my PS3 again just play all of Infamous again. It was that fantastic of a game
First it's Infinite.....Second why would he need to catch you up on The Last of Us? Its only one game....Infamous is coming out with its 3rd installment, it makes sense to explain the first 2 to the people who haven't played them.
That is terrible. Knowing you can't play it. Don't worry friend, eventually you will be able too. It is sad how PS4's are still sold out everywhere. I never pre ordered mine and what I did, I can't believe I pulled it off. My futureshop (Like a Canadian version of best buy) was opening early at 8 am. They don't do midnight launches. I chose to skip school. I woke up at 5 am and got ready. I just sat at the front door of futureshop. It was warm inside since the futureshop was inside a mall. I waited and waited. There were 5 other guys there before I came so that shows how prepared others were. As time went on lots of people came. There were I think 20-40 unreserved consoles and around 30-36 people. I was number 6 in line so things were looking good. I sat there on my iPod watching a documentary I downloaded earlier. Some guys had their tablets just relaxing while others went to get drinks. I was tired but it was worth it. I went through that to get the. PS4 and it was worth it. It was fun in a way. My first time actually sitting out waiting for the system. I call back after I get home with the PS4 and asked If they had any left. Nope. Sold out. Glad I got mine. Don't worry. You will be able to get the system eventually. And by the time you do, there will be lots of games to choose from.
mastergamer591 I went everywhere to find my ps4 and couldn't find one. One day (Feb. 24) when I wasn't looking for a ps4 I went to my local Kmart with a friend when I went to the electronic section I saw only 1 ps4. I bought it right then and there.
it does fall within the parameters of modern physics, considering that conduits can control specific matter and energy and time is just a bi-product of matter and energy.
I feel inFamous is a series that doesn't get enough praise though the series is great
Yessir Mm mm.
SirrLuxx
the first game isn't that great. the second one is gold
Are you talking about the graphics?
SirrLuxx Completely agreed. I mean sure, most people love all three of the games, but it still needs to get more praise if you ask me.
OmNomNomNomNom Tbh i kinda prefer the first one.Just by a bit though.Well i prefer the *story* in the second one,but the 1st game as a whole is in my opinion a tiny bit better. I love all three of the games though.But my favorite has to be Second Son.
InFamous 2 was, in my opinion, the most underrated game of the last generation
Underrated? It sold a lot more than most games, and that's even more impressive considering it's a ps3 exclusive.
I mean critically
George Thorney I agree. How much does it have,like a 83 on metacritic? That's waaayyy too low in my opinion.
Imo I thought Infamous 2 was the best PS3 exclusive of 2011.
***** I disagree. I think Uncharted 3 was better.
These games don't receive enough attention. Just about everything about them is unique and interesting.
+Ian Gallagher Is the best franchise i ever played :)
second son was OK , got pretty boring halfway through
Joshua Castillo But the first two were fantastic.
+Aaron Fyfe You're right, I would play it if it wasn't an PlayStation exclusive...
This game is in the top 5 games of my life, is a game that i played a lot and spent a lot of hours playing this beauty! :D
So in order to carry out his plan, Kessler had to go back in time in order speed up the particle accelerator explosion to give Barry Allen his powers faster..... wait.. wrong story.

Oo oO How's that sad?
POTTERANDMATRIXFAN Jim
POTTERANDMATRIXFAN k
POTTERANDMATRIXFAN SAME!!!
POTTERANDMATRIXFAN ikr
damn, the first two have really complicated stories compared to second son's.
+caguko I must've played the first two 3 times each, but I still don't understand what the hell's going on XD
because second son really has not much to do with the first two, it's more of just a revenge story
I played the first 2 games 4 times each. Twice as a Hero, twice while infamous.
ShadowX 1337
Never gets old m8 :P
EknonCo No. No, it doesn't. :)
They only decided the good karma version was canon in order to release Second Son. If you play evil karma, you get an entirely different game, so it's like two games in one. One of many reasons this game is my all-time fave.
i beleive the also made the good endings cannon becuase the sh*t woude hit the fan in the time line
in games like this the good ending is always the canon one, like in force unleashed
slipspacer88
well in infamous decides what endigns cannon from whitch is most played
sure go on believing that if it makes you feel better
slipspacer88
im going of what i heard so dont be a arse
Infamous wont be the same without Cole.
plot twist: cole's not dead!
BattleT Plot twist: Cole is definitely dead. Sucker Punch founder said it himself
Moneesh Mohan plot twist: the founder of sucker punch **IS** Cole
BattleT lol. That's a good one. BTW both of them have similar hairline.
RarityGamer how do you know cole is not dead?
I would Love a remastered version of this
Same
I thought I was the only one asking for inFAMOUS 1 and 2 remastered.
PS6
in ps5
Same
Anyone else think infamous deserves a remaster?
YEEEEEAAA
Kinda dumb that conduits are bastardized after Cole sacrificed his life at the end of inFAMOUS 2.
I Blame The Beast.
I blame Wolf
+Son Goli I blame Fox
+Son Goli I blame Fox
Fun Fact, originally they were going to use the Infamous 2 Evil path as cannon for the Third Infamous game, but once they looked at the PSN trophy statics they deiced to use the good ending which many more people had gotten then the evil.
and ppl say infamous doesn't have a good story yeah right
Germy Ocates wait who exactly says that
but the story is nonsensical
Incognito D It's sci-fi dumbass
Incognito D jeezes it really is
Better than HALO
Infamous in 9 words: What are you doing here? Go play it now!
FloMaxster what are you talking about? :3
***** Nice Edit. Sorry, but your not slick ;)
Thats 8 words shithead
T R A S H it’s 9
axb that’s 9
Coles death was sadder than any other Video game death
ikr
ikr this is the besg video game series
what about roman in GTA IV?
wasn't that sad after awhile
Roman's.
Great narration Greg! Infamous: Second Son is going to consume my life very very soon haha
Emma! I Agree, I can't wait.
im wicked exited
For that reason alone I am glad this game comes out on Friday, that way I can let infamous second son consume my life without having to worry about work getting in the way.
Patrick Watychowicz I'll drink to DAT my good man! :D .... Uhhhhh, maybe not... X.X; St. Patty's day and all... x)
Can’t believe how long it’s been
The first game had the best story
+Greg Bedjanian true
+Greg Bedjanian second son is hit compared to infamous 1
The 2nd one had the best story, sorry.
Keirra Mitchell theyre both ONE story about the same character
Youssef Ibrahim just different parts of the story.
Everyone who's curious to how the conduits survived the wiki says some people had natural resistance to the explosion. Also it's possible the conduit gene wasn't dominant in some people and skipped them but reappeared in their descendants. If this incorrect forgive me I don't know much about genetics.
yeah, some un-activated conduits survived, but I'm pretty sure all activated ones were killed, and then more people started activating
Be mindful that this is the storyline of the Hero side of Infamous 1 and 2
The canonical side.
infamous is my favorite game
Never really played other Infamous games, but Second Son looks really good.
inFAMOUS SECOND SON has kinda let me down. I love the updated graphics and everything that they did with the lighting but everything else, especially story wise, pales in comparison to the first two instalments of the game. inFAMOUS 2 was so much richer: the consequences of Cole’s good/evil decisions were more profound and behind each choice there was a realistic motivation; the missions were more varied, with several factions to face and numerous enemy types to fight, not to mention the abundant and interesting boss fights; the map was more developed, providing very different battlegrounds as the story progressed; Cole’s powers also allowed for a more customisable and tactical fighting experience, one that allowed you to interact with and weaponise the environment, using it to your advantage.

Damn, this movie would be much better than The Avengers, if ever existed. You just made me wanna buy first two games ;).
Yeah keep telling yourself that.
Asupernaruto1 Damn, this movie would be much better than The Avengers, if ever existed. You just made me wanna buy first two games ;).
Omfg SPECTACULAR GAME one of the greatest
Leg master pro
Vladimir Pejić I've beat the game sooooooo many times
half as long, twice as bright
Thats right brother
zcabisca and I'm sure gonna miss you
Some people say "Conduits aren't human. That's bullshit. Because there's nobody with more humanity than Cole MacGrath."
A King Of Gaming i love you brother and i am sure i am going to miss you (good show)
A King Of Gaming That line from Zeke hits deep man.. every time
Infamous 1 was the shit for me. I mean I never played a free roaming super hero game like that since Spiderman. Plus the story was really great, the comic book style cutscenes were cool. I passed on Infamous 2, but can't wait to play second son.
ds37 good call, the 2nd one wasent good
Trevor Jackson second one was eh
Braindead down syndromatic Logang pauler GoB player I absolutely loved the second one. Although that was probably since I played the second one before the first and I didn't have anything ruined for me.
Dude the second one was a masterpiece
2nd one was good what are u talking about
These games are so underrated. They have great stories and game play. I am really hoping Sucker Punch is working on a new InFamous!
They might be working on the next Spiderman game which might be exclusively on PlayStation 4
Damn that was a good review.
REALLY!!!! LOL
Godly Spartans why are you so excited
Its on ps3 only
Abraham Ramos nope it’s on PS4 now
I think Greg makes a much better narrator than a host.
I just think he gets annoying at times when he hosts stuff on the channel.
Is there such thing as Metal Gear Solid in 5 minutes
I never played infamous but after seeing second son in action I might get it.
It looks really good especially the neon and Video powers
not a spoiler I mean its even on Wikipedia
I am also thinking about getting it
I actually found neon and video to be boring powers. I preferred smoke and concrete.
Okay one major problem with this: in the game Cole states that the RFI wont just kill lots of conduits, it will kill ALL conduits. It even shows at the end of the game, people on the other side of the planet dropping dead, who didn't even know they were conduits... So how can Second Son take place if they're all dead.. I guess they've changed it so not all died, bugs me..
Dr. Wolfe claimed the RFI would kill them all, but never had any proof to back this up. Some people confuse this with the fact that it was proven by Dr. Wolfe.
It's not that all are killed, most of them are are killed. I think it's about 90% of the Conduit population
Sucker Punch themselves stated that the RFI killed most conduits but that only a minority survived it. Also the fact that the RFI would kill all conduits was a hypothesis by Dr. Wolfe and not something that was proven.
If I remember correctly a while ago during an interview or something they said that even though it killed the majority of conduits some with a stronger conduit gene survived.
What about the electricity at the end? I thought Cole had somehow survived.
the first sons...... oooooh so that's why the ps4. game is called SECOND SON. I GET IT.
that was my reaction too
Luke Pajarillo I was like,Densil has a brother so maybe his born second.But then boom first sons!
Never realized that.
Luke Pajarillo so Cole is from the 'First Sons' in some way because he is part of the first conduit generation, and Densil is from de second generation so he is from the 'Second sons'
Con Sampa boom i thought that too
So the good side is cannon?
Yep
Originally, the bad side was supposed to be canon by the Devs, but when the second was made they changed it because most people chose to get the good ending.
What's cannon?
santos lopez official lore/history within the game.
3 more days than the wait is over!!!!!
I already have a boner...
I'm annoyed that there's no connection between Second Son and Infamous 1's First Sons
There was Cole DLC in inFamous 2nd son
+avatar1o1234 coke? xD u mean Cole?
bombo lol yea 😂
ikr
I remember watching a video before Second Son came out which theorized the Alden Tate from inFAMOUS 1 would have created another conduit society after Cole basically destroyed the First Sons. It would also give a reason as to why Tate survived inFAMOUS, because there basically no reason to have him live after jumping off of the bridge. I don't think even the comics explained what happened to him.
The next INFAMOUS game should be a continuation of the evil ending of inFAMOUS 2 where we play as Cole using the Beast's powers and we have an army of conduits
This would be awesome to see
@NebulaInTokyo just because it's not Canon doesn't mean it won't happen
Just look at Marvel's What If
Did anyone else choose the evil path for every game the first time around
No sorry. I do not have the guts
That's what I'm doing with the next game
Good job, Greg. Infamous:Second Son is going to be glorious.
Dude, nostalgia for me... used to play it without knowing what was going on...
This video game hits hard in 2022
"And A New See-Through Top....."
I Just Love How Greg ( The Narrator ) Made The Audience Take A Few Seconds To Appreciate THAT Bit.
Awesome Delivery On The Infamous Story By the Greg ! .
One of my favorite series :D
one of the most underrated games
now do infamous evil in 5 minuts
evil is non-cannon
Liamjm The start of 2nd game is neutral to whatever path was taken in the 1st game. The ending of 2nd game as evil is everything you saw in the video except at the end Cole basically becomes the Beast and all the humans are wiped out.
Oh and you kill *** and are forced to also kill **** on your path to the dark side. Really good ending that was worth playing through again. The last bit of the game is very different mission/emotions than the good play through.
no its not,,, their are 2 defferent after coutcene scenes in the first game :)
InFamous side story Spoiler Alert!!! WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! I WARNED YOU!!!!
its not called infamous evil. its just the infamous side, they played the hero side. in InFamous 2 Cole kills Zeke and Nix, the beast can't fight anymore and gives Cole his powers. Cole will have to clense the plague and reveal the conduit gene from the people who lived.
u forgot that cole has made empire city hes playground just like he says in the after scene credit in infamous 1 but thx anyway
Thanks for this I've never played infamous properly until Second Son and now the story makes sense to me!
Get ready, a Masterpiece is coming.
Greg! I think your narration/personality and enthusiasm for Infamous goes hand in hand.
For those new players just getting into Infamous: You don't really have to play the first two games to understand the story. Also, Cole might be alive since he didn't mention that the boat was struck by lightning right before the ending.
The devs have said themselves that cole is dead/// DEAD.... totally dead
***** yeah .i wonder what cole's legacy dlc is
***** What else would they say? Yes Cole is alive and ruin the possible surprise?
I noticed that Lightning struck the boat.. and thats right u dont have to know about the first 2 games a developer said, to play tjis game right
that was to signify that we don't know what will happen next, it was in the shape of a question mark, I really hope Cole doesn't come back, it would completely undermine his sacrifice.
Great video! I really appreciate these videos because I for one did not get to play the previous infamous games. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Infamous is awesome
Wait but he forgot the lightning strike at the end...
Sucker Punch confirmed that Cole won't be in the new game.. :( So I guess Greg didn't include it in the video because of that
Thank you ps now for having all of the infamous games. Such an underrated franchise
When I first saw Second Son's trailer I thought that Delsin would be one of Nix's relatives because of the whole smoke thing. Now I get that conduits don't work like that and I was a huge dumbass.
I love this series and am super pumped for Second Son, I'm actually taking a half day on Friday to play it.
This was excellent!
An awesome summary to help my story understanding for one of my favourite games series
Dat background music tho. I need to know what it is!! O_O
Reliving the story through this video gave me chills, loved the first 2, can't wait for Second Son!
Good job Greg! I love your narration!
Loved this thanks greg for catching me up. I played the first game when I was young and didn't retain any of the lore and never played iNFAMOUS 2.
Aw man , my brother sold his ps3 so i never got to finish any infamous , i got almost to the end of the first one. This video was great for setting me up for Second Son.
Now , I only need to buy the ps4 :(
You're fucked bro Lollllll but I hope you get one.
joebryant11 I must get my hands on a sweet sweet ps4. My holy gaming trinity will be soon complete. :P
Miss Infamous Second Son great environment great vibes.
Holy crap.. I didn't expect that inFamous had such a good storyline..
Only played and beat the 1st game.. now I really gotta get Second Son!
Marvel&Co all things marvel,doctor who and more! 🤣🤣🤣
This video brought back memories of playing my favorite video game series. This was literally my childhood
That is a dope recap
Awesome narration, infamous is by far one of the greatest franchises ever
holy shit, what a story!! i feel more terrible than ever for picking up a shitbox 360 than a ps3 back in 2009......never again microshaft, never again.
same
After seeing this, I regret not getting a PS3 and sticking just to the 360. TLOU actually has me upset aswell!
***** ***** I know, I can't!
These games deserve at least a remastered versions
Im glad IGN made this video I never played Infamous2 so I was so like what when I found out john was the beast. I also hope Infamous SS is reviewed by Greg Miller because the fact that he really cares about the story AND PLEASE IGN DONT SPOIL ANY OF THE OTHER POWERS IN INFAMOUS SS.... I have to wait til may to get my PS4 :(
This is the best unintentional superhero story I've ever heard.
the one thing i hated about the new second son game is that the good and evil side powers and story are almost identical (like copy and paste identical)
in Infamous 1 and 2 the 2 sides are very different
I am THE biggest fan of the infamous series. Like holy shit I can't even describe my shaking excitement.
Plz can u odd this for the mgs series
They'd need way more than 5 minutes to explain a story that convoluted.
MGS4 itself needs 5 minutes !
rouzbeh ba amen!
Eric Tyler just for the intro.
The good ending to inFamous 2 was so saddening. Especially with the soundtrack included to commemorate his sacrifices.
its like someone is cutting onions everytime the last cutscene plays
I never played inFamous but that was due to my only owning a 360. (i've been all xbox since it first released up until now). I always wanted to play though and this video really helps me understand what the hell is going on in the game. 3/21/14 can't wait!
I've been putting off infamous series for years due to me playing uncharted,resistance,killzone,god of war,etc.. but I'm finally playing infamous and so far I'm loving it. It's a lot of fun and refreshig
I can't wait for Friday!
I never played the first infamous but I did play part two and this review cleared up what I thought happened in the first one, plus this was an excellent review; can't wait for second son!!
i just watched this high and i think i'm a conduit✋😳
Thanks man. Helped a lot. I finished Infamous 1 but I never played two. Just ordered second son but didn't know the story line. Thanks again!
Still waiting for mention of a new inFAMOUS that's a continuation of the infamous ending in I2.. More Cole AND more powers.. hell yes.
***** I always thought that would have made a great prequel, tell the story of the how the original Cole went off the deep end and turned into a villain. The only down side is that there would be no reason for the morality system because, being a prequel, we already know how its going to end so it wouldn't make sense to allow you to be good or bad. Or at the very least, make into a comic book mini series or something (preferably by Dark Horse.
***** true but I think it's already quite clear that he did it out of guilt over his family because it wasn't until they died that he made the decision to go back in time.
CosmicBudman That is more likely, and if you got to play as zeke my life would be complete.
It makes me happy to see fellow infamous fans. :D
CosmicBudman I want a game about Zeke getting powers.
That was so freacking awesome man and i love when u put in inFAMOUS second son!
Thanks, decided to get a ps4 too and get infamous second son.
I got a PS4 because of second son a few days ago. It was well worth it. It's a really short game though, but other than that the story's good, gameplay is amazing and not even to mention how epic the graphics are. The game was worth every cent, I'm still playing side missions, and I might play it again for evil karma.
TCTNGaming the fact that infamous second son's graphics really showed how powerful the ps4 is, kinda dissapoints me because it might not take very long to reach the ps4's peak
I don't really think that, because games will get optimized better as time goes, developpers will find ways to make games look better with worse hardware, I mean look at infamous one and compare it to some of the latest PS3 games like last of us. I hope that's going to be the same with the PS4
Yeah, that's a really good explaination
Actually no o.O the FPS only dropped ones when I did the neon blast thing and there was just too much stuff going on on the screen but other than that works perfectly.
This video actually made me realize just how complicated these games are, I love them
they really dumbed down second sons story
But it is still an awesome game (my Favorite game so far!)
I think this video was released before Second Son was, they just used the trailer.
+Ian Gallagher He meant the actual story wasnt up to standards
***** Pretty sure it was in reference to the fact that there was only like 3 seconds of footage.
I played that whole game, and the story was pretty bland compared to what I heard the old infamous games had
I frikin love this series SOOOOOO much
Wait, if Kessler's entire motive was to give Cole his powers early and get him ready to fight the beast and save everyone (including Trish) then why did he kill her in the first game? isn't that undermining everything he worked for in the first place?
I believe because trish was probably a motivating factor not to fight the beast, but of course she is killed by the beast anyway, so if Kesler went back in time and killed trish, I wouldnt make that much of a difference, and also if she were alive then she would have been a distraction.
Kessler's motivation wasn't to save Trish, but to mold Cole into someone that would put defeating the Beast as higher priority over saving his family.
cusman78 Alright thanks I was confused about that part
***** Kessler was the most interesting part of inFamous 1 and 2, in my opinion, maybe the next inFamous could be an alternate timeline Kessler game. Now that would be cool.
James Wiebe There was no Kessler in inFAMOUS 2. Just John White, Zeke, and Cole went from first game to 2nd game. Even Moira (or whatever her real name is) was never heard from again after first game.
"Until everything goes bananas!" Love that line
thx for that, i got to save some cash on that game.
It's nice that you guys told the good story that leads into infamous second son
InFamous is my favorite video game, which is weird, because I'm a girl, usually tend to like trending games, and only play online community games owo
Faewulf This Game is great!
Faewulf I think the original was what helped the ps3 live on for some people, since gta4 was definitely not the reason it passed, and since most hero/shooter games were trashy and just copied each other.
"A World that needs a new hero" OH MY GOD THAT PHRASE WAS SO EPIIC
Need to do a bad story version
But the bad version isn't canon.
Yeah but it's interesting to watch
brunothealmighty28 I'm sorry if I sound stupid by saying this but what does canon mean?
Being a lover of all things Infamous, playing every iteration in every way and now eager to go back and redo it for the good side (yeah, played bad the first time on both games XD) as well as to acquire every single trophy and platinum this epic game, I found this video to be quite entertaining, and it gave a good overhead of the story that was so stunningly narrated that it makes the story I once called just "good" seem far more amazing. Great work here, Greg, and anyone else involved with this video over at IGN.
Oh, and I especially love the way it ended. Just a little down that I am not an owner of the PS4 (yet) :( Gotta wait till the summer when I start my job.
Wait... doesn't this mean the actual ending that happened was the bad one? Cause In the good one it gets rid of all conduits and that would include the conduits in infamous second son. But in the bad one, cole goes around and unlocks conduits' abilities. Am I wrong?
Ok, it is several years after the GOOD ending happened. It must of just killed the (2nd? 3rd?) wave of conduits. It didn't stop the mutation entirely.
Panic!ed Pilots oh.
Panic!ed Pilots so the gene still lived on
Even that doesn't make sense. Because in the evil ending of infamous 2 all of the human non-conduits where killed off. So in your scenario all of the humans would have been killed off.
No, this leaves only one possibility. The events in Second Sons takes place during the events of Infamous 2.
It takes place seven years after the events of New Marais (Marias?) and follows the good ending of inFamous 2; even though it is said that conduits all over the world died.
It may be 2019 but after watching this video again it's making me want to turn on my PS3 again just play all of Infamous again. It was that fantastic of a game
1st game had the better story 2nd much better gameplay hopefully second son will be a mixture of the two
The 2nd to me have much better world
BroKenPROgaMeR Agreed
True but nothing groundbreaking. Second son is actually based on a real place Seattle in the US it looks very nice
Been a while since I've played an Infamous game. Thanks IGN for the recap!
Mind blowing can you do the same with bioshock infinity and last of US
First it's Infinite.....Second why would he need to catch you up on The Last of Us? Its only one game....Infamous is coming out with its 3rd installment, it makes sense to explain the first 2 to the people who haven't played them.
I like how The DUP and The Militia are both anti-conduit forces, that are ironically ruled by a conduit.
Panic!ed Pilots yeah and the dup are instilled with powers even though they aren't conduits
Makes me feel bad that I wont be able to get a PS4 for a while.
Its cool bro, u will eventually get one and u will play/beat da hell out if it. peace and gaming
h meng, I put 60+ hours into 2 after I platted it.
That is terrible. Knowing you can't play it. Don't worry friend, eventually you will be able too. It is sad how PS4's are still sold out everywhere. I never pre ordered mine and what I did, I can't believe I pulled it off. My futureshop (Like a Canadian version of best buy) was opening early at 8 am. They don't do midnight launches. I chose to skip school. I woke up at 5 am and got ready. I just sat at the front door of futureshop. It was warm inside since the futureshop was inside a mall. I waited and waited. There were 5 other guys there before I came so that shows how prepared others were. As time went on lots of people came. There were I think 20-40 unreserved consoles and around 30-36 people. I was number 6 in line so things were looking good. I sat there on my iPod watching a documentary I downloaded earlier. Some guys had their tablets just relaxing while others went to get drinks. I was tired but it was worth it. I went through that to get the. PS4 and it was worth it. It was fun in a way. My first time actually sitting out waiting for the system. I call back after I get home with the PS4 and asked If they had any left. Nope. Sold out. Glad I got mine. Don't worry. You will be able to get the system eventually. And by the time you do, there will be lots of games to choose from.
mastergamer591 I went everywhere to find my ps4 and couldn't find one. One day (Feb. 24) when I wasn't looking for a ps4 I went to my local Kmart with a friend when I went to the electronic section I saw only 1 ps4. I bought it right then and there.
Inbox me I will sell you one of mine but warning it won't be cheap .
Greg's Infamous Campaign in 5 Minutes
So Cole has time travelling powers ? WTF
it does fall within the parameters of modern physics, considering that conduits can control specific matter and energy and time is just a bi-product of matter and energy.
