    It's crazy that I don't need to watch this video to understand that Infamous never fell off. Sucker Punch didn't want to be known for only one franchise hence Ghost of Tsushima

      @Alex Corvis I think you fail to realize that Sony didn't want pc ports until recently. Combined with the fact that the only ones they could port are Second son and First Light, there is no reason. The first two games were made on ps3 so porting to ps4 or ps5 is not worth the time hence ps now having those two games. This isn't Sony's fault nor is it Sucker Punch's fault, it's just how things go

      For me, it's the way Delsin controls with his smoke powers. Even something as simple as his dodge has the sort of "weightless" and "floaty" feel to it when he comes out of it. He sort of "hovers" at the end, which leads seamlessly into running. No delay really between the two actions.

    I would love another Infamous game, one of my favorite series. What I really loved is that while the story decisions may not have been hugely different depending on if you were playing good or bad, the moment to moment gameplay was massively different. Playing good meant actively avoiding injuring civilians and killing enemies, whereas bad was pure chaos, go all out, blow everything up, who cares who gets hurt in the process.

    One of my favourite missions from InFamous 2 was just a little random sidequest. If you play through the Good Karma path, a woman comes up to you, and says that if it hadn't been for you sharing food supplies in Empire City (which is wiped off the map at the start of the game), her mother would've starved to death in the quarantine there. She kisses you, thanks you; and that's the mission over.
    I adored it as just a little example of how it felt that you were impacting real people whose complex lives, not just ticking off location markers on the world map.

Besides that, lightning is a much more badass power. The good Cole keeps his original look with blue/white lightning. Evil Cole is just awesome with a creepy look and a red/black lightning. So badass. Even the weather changes based on your Karma. The First one is so underrated.

    If you ask me, the smoking gun that kind of ended inFamous was choosing to use the good ending of infamous 2 as canon moving forward. A third game with Cole as the villain and Delsin desperately trying to gain enough powers to stop him would have been way more interesting and could have added some extra depth to Cole as a would-be savior who chose a darker path to saving humanity. But instead they based their creative choices on trophy data of all things, and as a result, Second Son looks pretty but I can mostly describe it as bootleg X-Men with vaguely infamous-related gameplay. I still like it, but it doesn't hit nearly as hard as the first two games

      @@Slushie2001 Nah it felt like it was because of how SP handled Cole from even before inFamous 2's release ( he had a new face and voice entirely). Cole was never a problem and was a good centre point with characters around him adding flavour, but for Delsin he is meant to be the flavour in a distopian future for conduits yet he still has an evil pathway that just doesn't work for his character. SP killed the series because they didn't want Cole, but they should have chosen the evil path in 2 and switched to Delsin if they were so diehard on moving away since they say the path line players chose 1st time is why "good" was their canon ending which was just a terrible idea given the whole point of what and who Cole is meant to be given he's a time augmented character. They chose a cliff hanger ending to wash their hands at the cost of creative outlets (since not all conduits died??).
      SP could always work on 2 IP's tho, no need to be like Guerrilla Games, Insomniac and Naughty Dog to only work on 1 title at a time but that might just be a Sony mandate. But they've done well with their titles before and since inFamous but it doesn't deserve to be on the ice like DMC was

    Sucker Punch has become a beloved developer for me ever since I fell in love with Infamous back in '09. While I have no problem with them moving onto other projects, I feel like I speak for a lot of other Infamous fans when I say that we need at least one more game from them. If you want to move on from Infamous from that point onwards then fine, but Second Son really felt like it was setting up this larger universe with the aftermath of Cole MacGrath's death and knowing the fact that the community's decision on what ending they ultimately chose in the 2nd game influenced where the story headed afterwards was really really cool. That alone should be the reason they should continue.

    I played all of them near release and 1 has the best story, 2 is the best overall and Second Son is visually and presentation wise the best.

    Infamous 1 and 2 evil choices: “save your girlfriend” -evil
    “Save 3 doctors” - good
    Second son choices:
    “Teach the kid to be evil” -evil
    “Teach the kid to be good” - good
    (The kid is the kid that has the digital powers) and I’m not exaggerating it’s actually a choice

    I cannot stress how much I have wanted to see a true third instalment to infamous. I would love the theorised story surrounding Kessler and I think, with the karma system in place, it would allow Sucker Punch to create such a sympathetic hero turned villain; was he a coward who refused to take responsibility for the safety of others, or was he a caring and loving father who lost his family to something he couldn't foresee? How did he discover his powers, how did he lose his loved ones, how did he travel back in time, how did take overthrow Alden and cease control of the First Sons? And I would love, absolutely love Infamous 3 to end with the beginning of Infamous 1; "Activation plus six minutes. Pulse is 45, respiration 10. Looking good, Cole". God, it would be so good! I hope Sony and Sucker Punch realise this, because if they remastered Infamous 1 and 2 for the PlayStation 5, before releasing the Infamous 3 I've proposed, it would make them so much money.

  • @Dzzy123
    @Dzzy123 Рік тому +2

    Sucker Punch made a huge mistake making the good ending of 2 canon. The evil ending was far more interesting because it was morally gray. Placing Second Son after 2's good ending actually undermines Cole's sacrifice if anything.

  • @kujo4388

    • @kayceee6770
      @kayceee6770 7 днів тому

      @bazplayzyt6207 2nd Son is just 1 and 2 all over again. They recreated the game again and instead should have, if they must switch away from Cole, have it be a seasoned Delsin who already knew about his powers, already knew Fetch and the rest he met and have a handle of his powers but most importantly not relegate him to a one at a time power guy. If you must switch protag make it worth it, not just a new gen refresh for the uninitiated. As a guy who picked up inFamous 2 day one moving away from Cole (that they were adamant on doing from the way they attempted to change the character before release) is one thing but for someone already with experience with the series moving to Delsin didn't add anything that wasn't already there. Don't just make a change then forget everything before hand, there was next to nothing tangible about the past, call backs to Kessler, the only thing that even made call backs to Cole were the paper trail that was some kind of dlc and that doesn't function properly now.
      2nd simply looks better than 2, but mechanically and story wise doesn't hold up against it at no fault of the game but of the devs and direction. 2nd Son was a launch title, inFamous 2 wasn't and was the second instalment into a game not many people knew about. Heck, most of who played inFamous 1 was on its train since the psn outage as a free game and it banged with a superior follow up with help from Naughty Dog.
