Today we learned that at the upcoming Game Developers Conference, that will be held between March 17th and March 21st, Lead Engine Programmer Adrian Bentley will hold a postmortem talk about the engine of the game.

"Have you ever wanted to make an urban open world super hero game? Push boundaries on emotive cutscenes? Render awesome particle effects? Or maybe you just want to make your game really cool on the PS4? In this talk, we’ll describe how Sucker Punch designed the inFAMOUS Second Son engine to take advantage of the power of the PS4. We’ll cover our threading approach, its pros and cons, how we made content easier to tweak and create, and how we utilized compute and the PS4′s GPU to achieve new levels of visual fidelity."

The graphics and physics didn't look too impressive in the videos but I'll chalk that down as old footage.

If that's how you feel you should probably not get it. Infamous seconds son isn't exactly re shaping the franchise in terms of its mechanics. If you aren't happy with it now you probably won't be with the next one.

Regardless of what you may think of their tech, their game is first gen software on a brand new platform and their experience thus far is invaluable to other developers, assuming you want other devs to go on and achieve even better than what Sucker Punch has done. Just about any game warrants a post-mortem.

Thing is I love the saints row series, Which is kinda similar, So im surprised I just don't get these games, But the allure of it being next gen may sway me with this game, And it does looks good technically.

Didn't play them
Didn't like what you played and it's not your type of game
PS4 hardly played
Want to be wowed
Not impressed by Second Son

Sounds like a recipe for enjoyment/trying too hard.
 
The only thing I don't like about this game is how Delsin twists and turns when moving around. It just looks weird and from what I saw in the other infamous games, it looks MUCH better. I hope they change it.

I also need to see more of the gameplay mechanics. Most of the videos out there are from bad players who don't experiment with moves and just shots fireballs.

Obviously a mistake, Meant to mean more as in from what I played of the first 2 games they didn't really do anything for me.

And from what iv'e seen of the vids it looks the same as previous games hence the want to be wowed.

huh? Knocking the ps4? read other threads you'll see ive praised B4, KZ, Warframe.

As for Infamous it was a mistake of words, Hardly blasphemy but considering the reaction it would seem that way, I meant to say from what I played they never did anything for me, Don't have to like every game I played.
 
I just hope they can bring the awe that the world did in Infamous 2.
That was the best thing about the game. You kept unlocking more islands and each one was cooler than the last. I'm afraid with them going for a more realistic Seattle that the game will lose this aspect.

I'm guessing he meant "played through to the end." I didn't love the first two games either, but there were things I liked about them, and I think SP is awesome dev team. This one looks better to me. Cole was such a blah character, and this guy seems more interesting. I can't stand the stupid hat, though. I'm worried I'll want to punch him in the face. Maybe there are costume changes available early in the game?

That's better, no not every game is for everyone. Was just laughing at you not liking a game you had not played, last time you played, on the not played Ps4....You get the idea LOl..

Anyway, I loved infamous one, but not so much infamous 2 which I did not finish....

however, I look forward to see what this game offers with an open mind.

No please no. Sucker Punch please stick to your guns on this and don't try to change anything!

I find it bizarre how so many people have issues with beanies lol

Really? I thought the game looked visually impressive from what I saw.

Well, we all have opinions, but what I've seen looks like some of the best visuals in this current generation. And considering it's open world, it makes them even more impressive in my eyes. Textures seem very high quality and the environments have A LOT of detail. And holy shit at those particles and smoke effects!

It's just because someone I knew and grew very annoyed with always wore a beanie. I see it and think of him every single time.

I get you. I love the idea of Skyrim, but I just can't get into that game. But you might be let down by infamous second son if you don't like the originals. Do you like dark souls?
