http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/02/20/infamous-second-son-announced-for-playstation-4/ Takes place 7 years after Infamous 2, presumably the "Evil" ending. Takes place in Seattle (no "Empire City" or "New Marais" this time), and you control smoke. Personally, I'm really happy with the direction they're going with this. The corrupt government was an important side story in the first two games, and now it seems like they're going full throttle with that plot direction. Also, I love the idea of the superhumans fighting the collapsing old civilization Gives me that X-Men vibe. This is definitely my most anticipated PS4 game at present. What do YOU think? Yes, YOU. Not him, YOU.

Well the first two games were a lot of fun, they really knew how to nail the fun factor and make you feel like a real super hero. The characters and the story was impressive as well. All round, very enjoyable so I'm looking forward to seeing what this one entails. If they can improve on what has come before than I imagine we will be in for something very special.

Ah, good, I was hoping someone would create a thread about this game specifically, rather than just use the PS4 announcement thread. This was my favourite game from the conference. I'm really excited for this. I'm not disappointed that there's no sign of Cole. The Hero endings are the canon endings, so I presume Cole is dead and somehow the Conduit gene has returned. I know it makes no sense for a 'gene' to just randomly show up if you kill everyone who happens to possess it, but whatever, I can ignore a tiny plot hole for the sake of the continuation of one of my favourite franchises. I hope we see Conduit-led factions again. I loved the Reapers, Dustmen, First Sons and Vermaak 88, but I felt the Militia were a little boring. The Corrupted were cool too, but not really a Conduit faction in the same sense. I don't mind a Government-based faction, so long as they don't always feel like the primary enemy like the Militia was for the majority of inF2. I think this game would canonically be set in 2018/19, as it is 7 years after inF2 and in inF2, some of Bertrands documents are dated as 2011 if you pay attention to the cutscenes. (I got that info off the inFamous wikia.) The idea of smoke-based powers is pretty cool. What I'm curious about is how Delsin regains power/health. Cole used electrical power outlets and stuff, so does Delsin need to find fires in order to absorb smoke? Maybe he just gets high. I hope we see a return of the UGC missions. And maybe some online multiplayer. I always thought inFamous online would make a refreshing change from the typical third person shooter stuff. Like 3 on 3 objective-based games or co-op missions. 3 hero players need to escort a supply truck to a destination while the 3 evil players need to destroy it or something to that effect. With a range of power-types to choose from. Electric, smoke, fire, etc. Maybe with Sasha's Tar or Aldens Telekinesis as a bonus for people with inF1 save data plus Kuo's Ice and Nix's Fire/Oil for people with inF2 save data.

I was hoping for a prequel where we play with Kessler in the original timeline of the story. It'd be a good way of keeping the story centered on Cole without invalidating the ending of infamous 2. This seems interesting though. I just hope they aren't trying to create an edgy protagonist like Ninja Theory did with Dante. Edginess doesn't compensate for lack of multidimensional characterization.

They've taken an interesting idea for this game. The corrupt government is a brilliant idea and the Smoke powers for Delsin are rather unique. Glad they didn't do something generic for his powers. I'm interested to see how his powers will work. As for the story, yeah I've always assumed the good endings as the canon and with the direction this game is going they kind of have to be in order for this corrupt government perspective to work. People can try to argue for the evil ending of Infamous 2 but the biggest problem that basically shoots that down is/was: The Plague. The plague could only be cured by the RFI or by the Beast, only if you were a Conduit. So that being said, the plague usually killed within weeks meaning that by this seven year timespan, no humans would even be left only the Conduits. So as for how they will connect the good ending to Second Son, is up for speculation. Personally I have two theories. One is that really the RFI wasn't as powerful as expected and missed some of the conduits who were the farthest away from Cole when he used the RFI. We know it did effect the whole world but how many did the RFI kill on the other side of the globe is something up to debate. Maybe it only killed a small amount because its effects were weaker? Who knows. The other theory waas suggested by a friend on another site which is that the Conduit gene can be either a dominant gene or a recessive gene, and perhaps the RFI only targetted the Conduit's who had the dominant version of the gene while those with the recessive version of the gene perhaps merely got sick or just were not effected at all by the RFI. Guess we won't know until the game comes out but I will definitely be getting this. Also here's hoping that Zeke will make at least a cameo appearance. I could see him having a big role in this game since he knew Cole he would probably fight for rights for conduits or aka "bio-terrorists" as the government in this new game seems to call them.

some intresting ideas I've read is that this time the morality won't be a simple good/bad choice, and considering the whole issue of blue smoke I can see that making sense. also, does this dude do parkour like cole or will we have to use a different method to get around the city. heres to hoping we see at least one returning character though, my money being on using zeke as some kind of 'wisened mentor'

I thought the first Infamous was decent, but the second blew me away. I'm definitely going to buy this one, and hope it's good.

Besides teleportation, what will be the benefit of having smoke powers? Asfyxiation? Making enemies' eyes itch? Deceive smoke detectors to activate buildings' sprinklers, thereby causing massive water bills?

Well they have some more news and they have confirmed that the Good Ending from Infamous 2 is the canon ending and that Cole is dead, for good. Not even the lightning bolt in the end could save him it seems: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/07/new-details-emerge-for-ps4s-infamous-second-son?abthid=5189a1e8a9feb1763a000042 EDIT: More info: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/05/08/a-new-beginning-designing-infamous-second-son.aspx EDIT2: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/05/10/bridging-the-gap-from-infamous-2-to-second-son.aspx?PostPageIndex=2&CommentPosted=true#commentmessage More interesting stuff on how the two games are now connected and how conduits are still alive.

So aparrently we'll have more powers than smoke, and we can recharge smoke from chimneys or from smoke grenades (as the enemies still don't understand your powers) I see.

Infamous second Son was shown at E3 (obviously) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlNfJvFnzc8 Here's the blog post here (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/06/10/infamous-second-son-watch-the-new-trailer/). Now, little thing, but I want to bring this up... The new trailer introduces Delsin Rowe’s older brother, Reggie, who will accompany Delsin on his journey in Seattle So yeah, I hope Delsin's body is ready when they reach the new city...

The protagonist's voiced by Troy Baker, the same voice behind The Last of Us' Joel and Bioshock Infinite's Booker DeWitt. This must be the best year of this dude's career. Before long he'll be giving Nolan North a run for his money.

1) Graphics look pretty good, although this is not something I'd normally look out for in a new inFamous game. 2) I hope there's a REALLY tall building to climb and jump off of. 3) Do we know whether this new guy will have good/evil abilities similar to Cole? 4) I wonder if the look of the city will alter whether you play good or bad, as it did in the previous games?

I'm guessing the smoke from chimneys/cars etc is gonna be the equivalent of Cole draining electricity from lamposts etc, to heal.

New trailer from Gamescon that shows off another conduit in the game with what appears to be some form of light/neon power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-B40rzJHOY Kind of looks like it shows more on what Delsin's power is. To me this looks like his powers are more then just him absorbing powers but rather he steals other conduit's powers, taking them away from them for good. Just what it looks like to me.

I wonder if they're changing the map style since this one is based on a real place. I'm not saying I didn't like it, but the previous two maps were sort of just pattern-ish with cookie cutter areas.

It pleases me that there will be no multiplayer in this game. Though.... having said that, multiplayer could be quite fun on inFamous. Custimizable powers, jumping around on buildings and whatnot. I probably wouldn't play multiplayer much, but I don't think it would be a bad thing. The only bad thing would be if they included trophies like "Reach Level 100", "Kill 500 foes using the wooden stick", "Kill a foe whilst simultaneously balancing on a pedestrian's head". I wonder if they're changing the map style since this one is based on a real place. I'm not saying I didn't like it, but the previous two maps were sort of just pattern-ish with cookie cutter areas. Hmmm... if I were a betting sackboy, I'd say yes.

This game is definitely it's best being a singleplayer game. The story is why I really like the series, and multiplayer can't really have that effect. Anyway, if I had to choose one game that would make me buy a PS4 to play, it would be this game, and it will be once I have the money.

This game is definitely it's best being a singleplayer game. The story is why I really like the series, and multiplayer can't really have that effect. Yeah of course. But The Last of Us has proved that you can have a good meaty story campaign, and competant multiplayer. So it is possible as long as it's not tacked on a la Arkham Origins/Arsearsein's Creed.

Noooo I don't want to be spoiled! But at the same time, I can't stop watching... I love how they updated the superhero kind, without latex suits or batmanesque gadgets. Keeping the character as an everyman who gains powers out of nowhere allows us to identify ourselves with him. And discovering the powers as you discover the city is just as great. New Marais was a character in itself, and for the few I know about Seattle and his architecture, the game might be great! I'm keeping my PS3 until it dies, but the day I buy a PS4 it will be for this game, and no other. Who am I kidding, I have a PS+ subscription...

If guys ever want to feel better about yourself, read the comments section on the IGN review. Jeeeeeeeeeeez Louise. I'll be getting this game regardless of the MONUMENTAL difference in review scores between this and Titanfall, two games that are totally completely comparable because they're like totally the same genre and stuff. When I get a PS4 that is.

So. The game is out now. It's cool to finally have a game to play on the PS4 (why did I get one on launch day again?). I can't wait until my brother stops playing it, so that I can go back to it. The amount of Sly Cooper references is astonishing. I'm kind of curious to see if I can find a Rocket: Robot on Wheels (http://www.suckerpunch.com/rocket/About/overview.htm) reference somewhere. I already found this guy: Knack!http://i.imgur.com/2sGXZbo.jpg I'm not even going to go into detail about how excited I was when I heard Delsin's ringtone. That was awesome.

Fun game but I felt the story was really short, yes I have beaten it all ready, the story mode at least, I haven't done much of the side stuff but compared to Infamous and Infamous 2's story mode, it felt rather short, though the area does feel quite bigger.
