Infamous 1 and 2 need remasters on PS4 or the upcoming PS5. I think part of their current obscurity is the lack of availability. I'd love a upresed 60fps version of the series (second son doesn't count). Atm, you need either a PS3 or have a PS Now subscription to play them, which basically makes them lost to time. Imagine if they made PC ports (never going to happen) I'd pre order that the second it was announced
Infamous 1 and 2 really have the potential to be an amazing cult classic game, but since it’s quite hard to get your hands on these games now (mainly because they’re not available on the current consoles) they lack that love. If they get that port, I’m sure it’ll be a banger. Hell even if they get a remaster, I’ll pay full price for them. But I doubt they’ll get that kind of love.
@@9001Erwin I mean yah I'd definitely rather a good remake but that's so much more expensive and time consuming with risks whole a remaster can be done quicker without losing what made the original great.
Would really like a video on why second son was disappointing. Btw this video in general was really good you can tell that you really care about the infamous games.
Örn Magnús Pálsson Not necessarily disappointing. Just really short, and not much difference between the “choices”. Rest of game is incredibly stellar.
Wake Wind agreed, gameplay, setting, and sandbox wise it’s the best, definitely the most interactive, and visually beautiful, the characters besides Reggie are are average, and story wise it’s nothing special, when it comes to karma, it definitely downgraded, and a very shorter story but again you basically do have to play it twice but still Shorter than it’s last two, but still had a good upgrade system and still fun as hell with all the powers which was a big step up, I see second son kinda like kickass 2 the movie, a lot of people call it a disappoint and awful but that’s when compared to the first movie which is an underrated great, but by itself it’s still very good
@@JV-yq7dx hell yeah, it was Red Labelet as Greatest Hits on PS4 just like inFamous 1 did on Ps3 and it also got awarded best seller of the franchise, lets hope we get a new game
Iono, I love Cole but Delsin was a breath of fresh air. I could relate to the guy more than Solid Snake i mean cole here. Both are completely different and i was okay with that. Also, people forget Cole had 3 games, while Delsin had 1 game to develop. That and a canon comic series. That said, he also didnt have Electrokinesis he had 4 other powers to focus on in one game that was rushed by the end of the development and in canon only had his story take place in like 4 days at best while Cole had literally 3 months with his powers. Delsin had no help or time to develop his powers or his story. So at least lets hope he gets a sequel to redeem that.
My favorite part of Infamous 2 was the cutscene before the final missions, where Cole and Zeke just sit on the room, crack open some beers and watch TV, they get a call and both quietly agree to ignore it and just chill out. Such a short and simple scene, but it was so good considered the story.
I got nostalgic for this game since it's never mentioned and went looking for a review. Not only did you nail this analysis, but your music choice and editing were excellent! You've got a sub from me!
It's weird to me that people consider Infamous 2 an underrated game, as I always see it in the best games of ps3 lists. I love it, it's a fantastic game that I keep coming back to every now and then, right next to Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row 4 it is one of my favorite sandbox open world games.
A lot of times when people say overrated they don't actually mean the game's critical reception, but it's popularity, or rather lack thereof. For instance, Titanfall 2 is THE game people won't shut up about when it comes to underrated games but of course everyone who's ever played it holds it in extremely high regard. That doesn't change the fact though that the game didn't receive the mainstream popularity it deserved, hence why it's called underrated even though it really isn't. Another great example is Sleeping Dogs, which I hear is very good when I hear about it but that happens once in a blue moon. Not many people talk about it anymore in spite of it supposedly being great, because it just never became as popular as other sandbox violent criminal simulators like Yakuza or GTA. Underrated might not really fit it since those who played it did like it but of course words are defined by how people use them, and people would use underrated to describe a game like Sleeping Dogs. One that's been overlooked despite of it's merits and fell to relative obscurity. And by that definition Infamous 2 is underrated, since before this video I didn't know a thing about the series.
You know I actually never heard of the Infamous games but it sounds amazing. I can imagine the rush of having all limiters taking off for one level sounds really cool I might check it out
Great video, hope to see another on this game. This series was why I got the ps3, and I love it. I remember in game informer the controversy of changing cole's design heavily, and I love the look they went with. The emotion, the detail, the betrayal and the redemption of characters and city are all just so damn great. It feels real. Zeke making up for his wrongs, the heart wrenching ending you gotta choose, the steaks being high leading up to...an okay ending with one path and a great ending with the other path.
Outside of taking shots of my baby GoW, I randomly found this by wondering what people thought of infamous 2 (as i used to enjoy it a lot), and think this is all around a well made review. Edit. Btw I am interested on hearing about what you have to say outside of gameplay and on Second Son.
Jesus, this video was incredible. You make some really great content. And it's always nice to watch something on inFamous again. Weirdly enough a series I keep forgetting about, but I remember hahing a ton of fun playing 2, and the interlinking of traversal with the combat was defintely what made up for a lot if that enjoyment. I adore me a good traversal system in games and being able to meaningfully incorporate that into fighting as well. With Spider-Man I felt the environemtn had at least a little bit of purpose, with you having that off the wall attack and being able to instantly finish webbed up enemies off by knocking them against a wall or on the ground (which was Op, but it is very satisfying using his flipkick in the air to acchieve that) made it so there was at least some interaction. Though yeah. Swinging and wallrunning is next to useless because you would always overshoot. I really hope the sequel improves on the parcour. then that might be something that could be involved in the flow of combat. Anyway. InFamous has a really satisfying loop with hopping around, finding energy sources and shooting that make it a real joy. Also hitboxes are somewhat generous as to always keep the pace up, which I enjoy. And I can second the mission during the thubderstorm to be a really satisfyinf moment because it's one of my most vivid memoroes of this game after all these years. i should revisit it sometime
I remember as a kid, once I unlocked the zipline ability or whatever it was, I found out I could turn into a lightning version of spiderman and essentially webswing through town, but it was hard to do so I ended up missing my target and falling often.
Second Son really disappointed me to bud. I was such a huge let down. You know I've always loved infamous 1 and 2 and even consider 2 one of my all time favorite games. Yet never even realized some of the things you said. The blending of combat with environment interaction just felt so natural I never even noticed that's what the game was doing. I just always loved the game for it's great gameplay and story, but you explained why the gameplay was so great and I love that.
I just came here from the Devil May cry 2 Video you put out. I love these types of videos but nobody talks about infamous and was really disappointed to see that this was the only one in your channel. I really hope that you still plan on making more Infamous videos in the future.Second son really disappointed me but I just couldn’t put my finger on why. With your analytic skills it would really help open my mind
damn i love this game, i played this when i was like 13 or 12 and i cried at good ending and was mad af at the bad ending - both of them give me hope for cole to be back (lightning strikes his coffin in good ending and he's well and alive in bad ending) but damn i kinda feel like it wont happen regardless i still have hope
My brother had this game when I was too young to really understand that games had story progression, and god it's a testament to how fun the gameplay is. I would spent hours just running around the first area, fighting and climbing. The footage sends me BACK. I still crave it.
It’s 2020 and I’m kinda going back to old review videos about Infamous and Prototype. I like this review and damn Cole during a thunderstorm is something I didn’t know I wanted maybe happen again in a future game like this.
I've been on RUclips for a while and in that time I've watched alot of RUclipsrs but recently I've been able to stumble into your channel which I am so happy about! You seem truly passionate about the games you reveiw, and your also not chasing veiwership by covering the most popular games on the market. I've just been bingeing your channels content! I would love to hear your thoughts on second son, I really do hope you carry on creating content! 🌈
If you’re looking for good world affects combat / combat affects world, look at the yakuza series, specifically kiwami 2. You can be fighting some guys, break a store window, fight INSIDE THE STORE, and then when you’re finished, the workers there kick you out and are pissed that you smashed their window
Hyve Minds zero is the best choice. Many consider it to be the best in the series, and it takes place before the other games, so it’s the perfect starting place. After that, the natural progression would be to play kiwami 1 and 2, then either wait for the 3,4 and 5 remasters to come to the states or play the originals on ps3. Or, if you don’t want to wait on the next 3 or play on ps3, you could always be a savage and play 6 before 3,4 and 5, though I wouldn’t recommend that as the stories are some of the best parts. The yakuza series has a lot of games if you couldn’t tell
Hyve Minds trust me, it is. I got zero early August and now I’ve already finished that nearly 100%, finished kiwami 1’s main story and abt half of the side stuff, and I’m nearing the end of kiwami 2’s main story. These games suck you right in
4:48 "I feel that having more direct control over a character enhances my experience tremendously." Reminded me of ”I find a little giggle gas before I begin increases my pleasure enormously,” from Little Shop of Horrors. In my head, the narrator is now Orin Scrivello, D.D.S.
I actually thought second son was pretty fun, i was debating getting the first two to see if they were good, but this video makes them seem even better! So i think ill try them out
Your point about the environment being a big factor in combat is SOOOO good. I'm only now realizing how so many other games have poor utilization of the environment. Infamous 2 did it EXTREMELY well.
Infamous 2 is litterally my best gaming experience. I had found it at a rent store and for some dumb reason I never considered buying it but damn was it exiting everytime I rented it for the weekend. I played it before the first and I still don't think I regret that one bit. I guess that is because instead of seeing it as an upgrade I got pleasantly drowned in all those powers and abilities. A fun fact is that the only reason I played both endings is because the first time I didn't know about the effects of karma and I also randomly completed karma missions.(english is not my first language so I missed the tutorial).
Hadn't seen anything by you before. But I got to say, you're well spoken and eloquent, you follow your points through to their natural conclusion instead of just making a list of things you like and dislike and you honestly got a pretty great narration voice and delivery. Really enjoyed the video, you got one more subscriber now.
I would like to hear your thoughts on the karma system in the infamous games. I personally liked it in the first two games but in second son it just didn't work in my opinion
Seeing this video and how the environment shapes the combat and vice versa really makes me think of Control by Remedy, think you would really enjoy given the way you talk about what you like in games like these or in general. Remedy does a really good job of innovating in every game they make similar to how Sucker Punch did with the first two infamous games. Really liked this video, fond memories of these games, really wish they would port over 1 & 2.
Interesting video but I disagree entirely with the Spider-Man comparison. I use swinging even in the indoor gang fights to get out of the way quick, and I jump around the area all the time; jumping off of walls for a punch, throwing people off of buildings, using objects around
I bought a copy of infamous 2 on amazon and when it came i got the infamous collection and got the dlc for infamous 2 so i fell in love with the series
Ah yes, inFAMOUS 2... the best game in the inFAMOUS series and one of my favorite games ever! While I love inFAMOUS 1 and Second Son (which I would say is the weakest of the 3 mainline games), 2 really did have it all... improved combat, great story, interesting new location, awesome custumization of powers, and heck Cole himself really lightened up a lot between InFAMOUS 1 and 2, which made me wonder if he had been as chill and fun to be around BEFORE the blast changed his life. (Cole was a bit uptight in the first game... can't really blame him though, his world was turned upside down... glad that he mellowed out sometime before the New Marais adventure started)... truly InFAMOUS 2 was an amazing experience.
The feeling I got where I could infinitely charge up from the storm and barrage the Titan's face with rockets was so amazing, bless inFamous 2. Here are some hopes for some more sucker punch games. 1. inFamous 3 (But don't revive Cole because imo that would ruin the impact of his death in 2.) 2. Sly Cooper 5 (Like srsly sucker punch where are you.)
One of my favorite things about the movement in 2 over 1 was Cole looks and feels like he's hauling ass now. Especially when riding the power lines. Almost like he has limited time until some huge all powerful conduit monster shows up.
I find it weird in retrospect that even though I was a huge fan of Infamous 1 and 2, I just wasn’t interested in Second Son whatsoever and never bought or played it. I think the “original” cast of characters (pretty much meaning Cole and Zeke) was super important to my investment in the series, and when I saw that the new game wouldn’t have them, my interest deflated fast. I think if Infamous 3 (or would it be 4?) was planned in the future, they should really consider featuring Cole and Zeke again.
INFAMOUS 2 IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME. I still have the collectors edition that I got for my birthday June 23rd, 2011 not too long after the game released and just a few months ago I finally platinumed the game after all these years. Sucker Punch has become my favorite game developer and the only games I don't have all the trophies for yet is the first Infamous (Which is really tough to get all trophies for) and Infamous First Light. I bought the Ghost Of Tsushima collectors edition AS SOON AS it was available for purchase and I've got the Sakai clan mask sitting on its stand right next to the Infamous 2 Cole action figure. Ghost Of Tsushima IS A MASTERPIECE in which Sucket Punch took all they've learned about making a game over the years and made it into a special piece of art the likes of which we have never seen before. I don't much believe in the whole concept of having real life heros to look up to but if I did that would be Angus Young of AC/DC and Nate Fox founder of SPP. This game and series are truly something special and if Sony would make PS3 games downloadable on PS Now instead of having to stream it so many more people could fall in love with the series.
Spider-Man allows you to throw objects just like infamous so that comparison was a bit of a stretch but infamous definitely expands on including the world way more.
Know it's not exactly related, but I'm pretty sure you can also use the environment to your advantage in Spider Man. You also have to position yourself and constantly keep moving, and you have to use the L2 R2 swing to do that quickly. What they could add is a mechanic like in Web of Shadows, where you can swing and break people's noses at the same time. That was an awesome mechanic that I hope they introduce in the next one. Besides that, inFAMOUS 2 is probably my favorite game of all time and I love the whole series, so thanks for making this video.
Honestly inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 and the Sly Cooper Collection made me buy a PS3 all over again! Sucker Punch made my mystery have games, and I wish they would remaster all of said games!
thank you for saying that this is better than spiderman ps4, because it is, I've put a bunch of hours into inFamous 2 because of the Ice Launch mechanic, love this game so much
This felt A LOT longer than 18 minutes. Hell of a lot of great insights into this game. Made me wish Sucker Punch was a bigger studio so they could keep the series going. Looking forward to Ghosts, and I liked Second Son (especially the soundtrack) but I really wanted to see a greater correlation between Cole's actions and the world thereafter. Not just a brief summary. But man, yeah. Great effin series, and I wish Sucker Punch wasn't dead set on killing Cole. Lightning powers are an instant fave for me
About the cover mechanic: during my first playthrough I was powering up Ascension Parish, I was completely overwhelmed by the enemy, while having very little room to move because the only source of health/ammo was the transformer. The last 10 seconds I was just hiding behind the transformer, hoping it would soon be recharged, while the enemy was surrounding me from every angle, bullets barely missing Cole's head. Just as the enemy had completely surrounded me, and my cover became completely useless, the charge was complete and the resulting blast took care of every enemy. It was seriously intense. The cover system works really well, maybe precisely because the game isn't built around it.
I got the first game for free after the Sony data leak and I really loved it. I never got around to the second one unfortunately but now I really want to, especially since I've been playing the Sly games as well.
Infamous 2 has been done so dirty over time, it’s a shame there wasn’t a remastered collection or something but with sucker punch making bank on tsushima hopefully we can get something some day
infamous 2 does sandbox well because simply moving around the sandbox is fun since the traversal mechanics are deep and intuitive. You're never board because you always have something to think about. Where's my next grind rail? Where's the best ledge? where's power? the world is part of the gameplay mechanics and so it you always feel engaged. The same can't be said with Second son, as the Neon run completely gets rid of it all.
Infamous 2 is my favorite game ever and I'm so glad to see someone cover it!
Is it still your favorite bc its mine
@@lil_doughnut_8536 Yup!
Same.
its my favorite as well
@Just a Shark mine is tied with Infamous 2 and TWD telltale. But infamous 2 holds a special place in my heart and always will

Honestly I think the first one needs a full blown remake. If it's just remastered, it'll still have the akwardness that shows its dated
I'd love to try the first Infamous game
@@9001Erwin I mean yah I'd definitely rather a good remake but that's so much more expensive and time consuming with risks whole a remaster can be done quicker without losing what made the original great.
@@Crazelord91 Yeah true
That mission where you could absorb the lightning from the storm was one of the coolest things a game has done. I wish more games did stuff like that.
Would really like a video on why second son was disappointing. Btw this video in general was really good you can tell that you really care about the infamous games.

this game is the definition of Overlooked

I adore the use of "endless possibilities" at the end
it's a small detail that makes a huge impact

It's great to see someone else who seems to have just as much appreciation for the series as me!
I really respect that someone’s done this ❤️❤️ good job man, I really enjoyed this
Infamous 2 is one of my all time favorite games but I could never explain why. This video explains it perfectly
Infamous 2 was the first PS3 game that I owned and I loved it
Maaaan, I really liked this video and your channel. Infamous 2 is one of my all time favorite games, I would love to see you talking more about it
The Infamous series is pretty underrated honestly I hope they make a new one at some point and hopefully. It won't be a second son

regardless i still have hope
Great video! Hit the nail right on the head with Spiderman, exactly how I felt. Love Infamous, one of my favorite games.
Defo an overlooked masterpiece
Infamous 1, and 2 are criminally underrated.
They desperately NEED remasters on the PS4 or 5.
My brother had this game when I was too young to really understand that games had story progression, and god it's a testament to how fun the gameplay is. I would spent hours just running around the first area, fighting and climbing. The footage sends me BACK. I still crave it.

Wow, long ago I was interested in infamous cuz of the electric powers but now I'm SUPER interested because of the whole interactive world
Thank you for reminding me of such a great game that I love, here's hoping for an infamous remastered collection

In my head, the narrator is now Orin Scrivello, D.D.S.
I actually thought second son was pretty fun, i was debating getting the first two to see if they were good, but this video makes them seem even better! So i think ill try them out
i still replay this game at least once a year when i have time. going for that 100%
😂😂😂 i catch that “electric type Pokemon” @13:10 you almost couldn’t hold your laugh too
Your point about the environment being a big factor in combat is SOOOO good. I'm only now realizing how so many other games have poor utilization of the environment. Infamous 2 did it EXTREMELY well.
Infamous 2 is litterally my best gaming experience. I had found it at a rent store and for some dumb reason I never considered buying it but damn was it exiting everytime I rented it for the weekend. I played it before the first and I still don't think I regret that one bit. I guess that is because instead of seeing it as an upgrade I got pleasantly drowned in all those powers and abilities.
A fun fact is that the only reason I played both endings is because the first time I didn't know about the effects of karma and I also randomly completed karma missions.(english is not my first language so I missed the tutorial).
Hadn't seen anything by you before. But I got to say, you're well spoken and eloquent, you follow your points through to their natural conclusion instead of just making a list of things you like and dislike and you honestly got a pretty great narration voice and delivery.
Really enjoyed the video, you got one more subscriber now.
I would like to hear your thoughts on the karma system in the infamous games. I personally liked it in the first two games but in second son it just didn't work in my opinion
Yes more infamous you've hooked me, never even played it!
Great reminder of one of the ps3s great franchises
second son just didnt click for some reason
honestly, I had forgotten how much I loved this game when I played it. I'd love to see you do a story video just to relive some of those memories.
Hell yeah more infamous videos!
Gotta love all the inFamous OST used in the video. Especially the one at 17:00
Seeing this video and how the environment shapes the combat and vice versa really makes me think of Control by Remedy, think you would really enjoy given the way you talk about what you like in games like these or in general. Remedy does a really good job of innovating in every game they make similar to how Sucker Punch did with the first two infamous games. Really liked this video, fond memories of these games, really wish they would port over 1 & 2.
Interesting video but I disagree entirely with the Spider-Man comparison. I use swinging even in the indoor gang fights to get out of the way quick, and I jump around the area all the time; jumping off of walls for a punch, throwing people off of buildings, using objects around
This is my favorite game of all time! The ending made me cry haha... thanks for covering it
I bought a copy of infamous 2 on amazon and when it came i got the infamous collection and got the dlc for infamous 2 so i fell in love with the series
Im a huge fan of the infamous series and after finding this video, I would love a video analyzing the story
I love all the infamous games, very nostalgic for me. Second on was a little empty but still felt great to play. Always hoped for another one lol
Ah yes, inFAMOUS 2... the best game in the inFAMOUS series and one of my favorite games ever! While I love inFAMOUS 1 and Second Son (which I would say is the weakest of the 3 mainline games), 2 really did have it all... improved combat, great story, interesting new location, awesome custumization of powers, and heck Cole himself really lightened up a lot between InFAMOUS 1 and 2, which made me wonder if he had been as chill and fun to be around BEFORE the blast changed his life. (Cole was a bit uptight in the first game... can't really blame him though, his world was turned upside down... glad that he mellowed out sometime before the New Marais adventure started)... truly InFAMOUS 2 was an amazing experience.
The feeling I got where I could infinitely charge up from the storm and barrage the Titan's face with rockets was so amazing, bless inFamous 2. Here are some hopes for some more sucker punch games.
1. inFamous 3 (But don't revive Cole because imo that would ruin the impact of his death in 2.)
2. Sly Cooper 5 (Like srsly sucker punch where are you.)
I would like you to talk aobut second son and compare it to infamous 2.
I'll see what I can do
You need more subs, videos are better than most.
Thanks man, and you can always help out by sharing my videos!
Infamous 2 was incredible.
Makes me miss my old PS3.
Facts
Ps now?
This game was absolutely amazing.
I didn't know ANYTHING about infamous until second son, witch is a game I love, so I can't wait to play the originals so I can see how good they are
One of my favorite things about the movement in 2 over 1 was Cole looks and feels like he's hauling ass now. Especially when riding the power lines. Almost like he has limited time until some huge all powerful conduit monster shows up.
17:04
Endless Possibilities huh?
I see you are a man of great tastes
Please do more infamous videos. Its my favourite game series and its annoying that they have been overlooked. They need more praise.
I find it weird in retrospect that even though I was a huge fan of Infamous 1 and 2, I just wasn’t interested in Second Son whatsoever and never bought or played it. I think the “original” cast of characters (pretty much meaning Cole and Zeke) was super important to my investment in the series, and when I saw that the new game wouldn’t have them, my interest deflated fast. I think if Infamous 3 (or would it be 4?) was planned in the future, they should really consider featuring Cole and Zeke again.
INFAMOUS 2 IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME. I still have the collectors edition that I got for my birthday June 23rd, 2011 not too long after the game released and just a few months ago I finally platinumed the game after all these years.
Sucker Punch has become my favorite game developer and the only games I don't have all the trophies for yet is the first Infamous (Which is really tough to get all trophies for) and Infamous First Light.
I bought the Ghost Of Tsushima collectors edition AS SOON AS it was available for purchase and I've got the Sakai clan mask sitting on its stand right next to the Infamous 2 Cole action figure. Ghost Of Tsushima IS A MASTERPIECE in which Sucket Punch took all they've learned about making a game over the years and made it into a special piece of art the likes of which we have never seen before.
I don't much believe in the whole concept of having real life heros to look up to but if I did that would be Angus Young of AC/DC and Nate Fox founder of SPP.
This game and series are truly something special and if Sony would make PS3 games downloadable on PS Now instead of having to stream it so many more people could fall in love with the series.
Spider-Man allows you to throw objects just like infamous so that comparison was a bit of a stretch but infamous definitely expands on including the world way more.
Infamous2 was so great, excellent video!
Infamous 2 was a phenomenal game!
I'd still really love to see you do videos on the other infamous games/a video on the story/karma in 2 like you talked about
Know it's not exactly related, but I'm pretty sure you can also use the environment to your advantage in Spider Man. You also have to position yourself and constantly keep moving, and you have to use the L2 R2 swing to do that quickly. What they could add is a mechanic like in Web of Shadows, where you can swing and break people's noses at the same time. That was an awesome mechanic that I hope they introduce in the next one. Besides that, inFAMOUS 2 is probably my favorite game of all time and I love the whole series, so thanks for making this video.
Honestly inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 and the Sly Cooper Collection made me buy a PS3 all over again! Sucker Punch made my mystery have games, and I wish they would remaster all of said games!
Honestly I'd be happy with remakes of the first two games with improved graphics and gameplay.
First ever ps3 game i beat👏🏼 its still one of my favorite games ever and holds a special place in my heart 🙌🏼
wow only 662 views this video deserves so much more
This game is the definition of "Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Man, the graphics are unbelievably good. I forgot how good it looked
I'd love to see a full analysis on this game instead of just gameplay, this has to be one of my favourite games ever
They shouldve saved the thunderstorm for the beast fight. That wouldve made it so much more badass
they definitely improved on the sequel, one thing I missed is the evil karma color for the electricity, red and black looks so badass
Finally someone who loves this game just as I do
I really need to finish the first game, so I could finally buy and play InFamous 2.
I used to play this game all the time can't believe i completely forgot about it
Flying, evil karma effectively allows you to fly so long as you have enough battery
thank you for saying that this is better than spiderman ps4, because it is, I've put a bunch of hours into inFamous 2 because of the Ice Launch mechanic, love this game so much
This felt A LOT longer than 18 minutes. Hell of a lot of great insights into this game.
Made me wish Sucker Punch was a bigger studio so they could keep the series going. Looking forward to Ghosts, and I liked Second Son (especially the soundtrack) but I really wanted to see a greater correlation between Cole's actions and the world thereafter. Not just a brief summary.
But man, yeah. Great effin series, and I wish Sucker Punch wasn't dead set on killing Cole. Lightning powers are an instant fave for me
About the cover mechanic: during my first playthrough I was powering up Ascension Parish, I was completely overwhelmed by the enemy, while having very little room to move because the only source of health/ammo was the transformer. The last 10 seconds I was just hiding behind the transformer, hoping it would soon be recharged, while the enemy was surrounding me from every angle, bullets barely missing Cole's head. Just as the enemy had completely surrounded me, and my cover became completely useless, the charge was complete and the resulting blast took care of every enemy. It was seriously intense.
The cover system works really well, maybe precisely because the game isn't built around it.
inFamous and inFamous 2 were the first mature games' I played in my life.
I got the first game for free after the Sony data leak and I really loved it. I never got around to the second one unfortunately but now I really want to, especially since I've been playing the Sly games as well.
I hope we get a infamous one and two HD remaster.
Infamous 2 has been done so dirty over time, it’s a shame there wasn’t a remastered collection or something but with sucker punch making bank on tsushima hopefully we can get something some day
infamous 2 does sandbox well because simply moving around the sandbox is fun since the traversal mechanics are deep and intuitive. You're never board because you always have something to think about. Where's my next grind rail? Where's the best ledge? where's power? the world is part of the gameplay mechanics and so it you always feel engaged. The same can't be said with Second son, as the Neon run completely gets rid of it all.
The replay value on this game was insane!
One of my all time favourite games
God I wish so much for a Infamous 4. The dev team were such genius
This video is going to be almost 2 years old in 8 months and yet no infamous second son or infamous 2 powers video yet?
