Infamous Second Son first screens

First screens of Second son, the third full Infamous game that will launch with the fourth Playstation.

Observation I made because of the topic title lol.

What I don't like is the chain. We've been there and done that with a PS exclusive. I would feel sick with guilt if I were the character or weapon designer. I'd want to create something more unique and practical. Now even Panopticon has a guy with barbed wire wrapped around his forearm that acts as a whip too.
 
That moving gif looks almost as good as the Final Fantasy movie in terms of character graphics, i don't know how anyone can't be impressed and i sense screenshots aren't going to do next gen any service at all, i feel you will have to see the games in motion to really appreciate them.

Why are people so hung up over what the character looks like? Game will be fun. Cant wait till E3 for more footage.

Empathy for the protagonist is a big part of most narratives.

Also.. it is because we know almost nothing about this game... peopl need something to talk about.

You know, I have an opthamologist I go to, he can do wonders for your eyes. /s


But really if you can't see the jaggies in Infamous 2 compared to the vivid images of Second Son theres a problem.

But then again judging from the wiiU GPU threads you post in...

I don't think the chain will be anything like GOW (I'm guessing that's what you are referring to. I'm thinking Ghost Rider like moves.comparable to his moves in UMVC3)

and the street car lines. The feedback from the Dualshock 3 felt great.

Even when you were refilling on electricity. They executed rumble great in infamous 2 and its the game that stands out the most to me in terms of rumble.
 
If i'm not mistaken i think krizzx meant that he likes the first one more as a character design not that the graphics looked better.

Aren't we assuming he didn't open the fullsized images and is just looking to the small quoted thumbs?

The second one is full of NEXT GEN FILTERZZZZZ, and the first one is a lot cleaner. Technically even in the small thumbs the second one is far superior, but I can see why someone would prefer the first looking only at the thumbs, even though it's not my opinion. I think inFAMOUS 1 and 2 both look pretty bad, while those Second Son pictures look pretty good.

I thought about that too, but he shouldn't have quoted that post if that's the case

Man, I really like the rumble in inFAMOUS, and I'm one of those "can I turn that off?" guys.

From a technical point of view, sure. But I can see why someone would prefer the more clean IQ of the first shot.

... A de-de-de- That's all Folks!

I fucking hate how bad infamous 2 looked. Its a great game but looks isn't its strong standpoint. Same goes for a lot of current gen console games.

Can anyone with a technical background explain what the fuck that shiny/glowy/glossy look is? A lot of games have it. They are jaggied as hell, and have that glow on them. So unnatural and plasticy. Even Uncharted had a bit of that.

I loved cole's personality in 2 but his overall appearance seems very generic. I've seen way too many people hate on him and call him "generic bald character" as they call out from most FPS this gen (these same people probably never bothered to play the games and constantly shitpost playstation and can be considered fanboys but), but cole definitely stood out from within from what you molded him into. Limited decisions but still, from a character design point if I compared the two side by side and never played either I would prefer Deslin as he seems more original and unique.

I still like Cole though, and I understood why the team wanted to change his design for 2 but it was understandably the wrong move as you don't significantly change a character design mid way in a series. This is why Donte was so poorly received, and I'm glad they changed him back in time.

I don't know about this...this studio just doesn't have a history of making good graphics engines. Yea sure, Infamous 1 & 2 were awesome as hell, but their graphics engine were kinda eh....

They were open world games though, with some over the top powers and stuff like that, all while keeping a good framerate.

Sure, there are open world games that look better, but it's not that bad when you consider it.

It's not fair to compare it to Sony's corridor shooters and say Sucker Punch can't deliver good graphics. This very game is proof of the contrary, it looks incredible and it's still open world. And of course Guerilla will destroy it with their next linear game (assuming it'll be a linear game).

But I do like those pictures better than the new Killzone pictures though.

Well they are making a new beginning with PS4.Did anyone expected Naughty Dog to achieve Uncharted's graphics quality before this gen?I don't think so.
 
I'm glad they got the character design right, hopefully they wont change it up in the sequel. SS is the only game I am 100% to buy, just looks so hot!

Getting DmC vibes for some reason.

Those wrist chains are pretty X-treme.

Fighting an establishment isn't new road for game protagonists. And it's all about the execution whcih DmC failed because it just made me cringe "Everything is damon man, we gotta use anon to get back on bankers duuuudeee". Im sure SP will do a lot better with the theme.
 
I must love loving things. I like the new character design for SS, I'm loving playing through inFamous 2 for a second time, evil style, and I always liked and still do the graphics in the game. There's some issues (yeah, Nix does look pretty dumb), but its open world comic book superhero stuff. Ah well, I'll get me coat...

I thought Infamous 2 was really impressive, but what do I know. It was a massive improvement graphically over I1.

Cole was cool. Often a grumpy bastard but cool. His reactions and portrayal in the infamous games were a lot more realistic than most super-hero characters which made him appear rather bland to most

Yeah, what a grump. The city hates you, you best friend turns on you, the woman you love dies in your arms; just chill brah

I was referring to the visual styling/design mock ups.

But we can go with what you got, too.

I retract my statement, their graphical capabilities shouldn't be judged. Infamous 2 was a nice jump over in1, but the frame rate got really bad in the shanty town area...

Let's see what they can do with better hardware
 
He still looks like an arrogant douchebag, and judging from that one line he had in the trailer, he will probably act like a cocky shit too. Not too fond of that

But I am curious to see some gameplay. hopefully it is less boring than the first 2. They were good but got very repetitive around halfway and then all the missions were kinda lame
 
inFamous 2 is a really good game graphically, and a big upgrade from the first. Seriously, inFamous 1 is a hella ugly game. When I got it for free after the PSN outage, I couldn't believe it came out the same year as Uncharted 2. Looked like a PS3 launch title at best.
