PTOM rumor: inFamous 2 coming in 2010

Agreed on both accounts. And while I doubt a new InFamous is headed to us this year, I won't deny it either.

It's time to see if Sucker Punch goes the Insomniac route (making one really good game each year) or the Naughty Dog route (spending two years to make a GOTY-quality game)

I'd be SHOCKED if inFAMOUS2 let me down!

I would be ecSTATIC if infamous 2 comes out during the holiday season.

the thought of infamous getting a sequel so soon, is ELECTRIFYING to say the least, the BUZZ generated from the first one should give a CHARGE to sales for the second one.

@captain underpants

You tried too hard

Yeah, agreed, would definitely love to see an inFamous sequel, but hope they don't rush it.

I think it's a given that we see something at E3.

I don't see it coming before 2011 though.

Never experienced any glitches, and I spent quite a while getting all the shards.

That was also my 500th comment.

Thank you for sharing this moment with me, Chris.

/confetti

Looks like I slipped into that special moment too... Damn now I feel dirty.

*Hurries out from under the bed and runs away

I need to go back and get all the shards....but consider yourself fortunate u didn't have any glitches....sucks when u are doing a time mission and fall thru a building....but yea I expect to see a teaser of some sort

[banned]

Nah...plenty of friends had similar problems....google "infamous glitch" there are videos

i had the same problem. i was just running around, then i fell through the street into an all white space. i was about to restart my PS3 when i finally died.

"getting stuck in walls and falling thru buildings sucked ass"

That never happened to me. One time, however, I did watch an enemy flying (more like swimming in the air) and inFamous still remains the game that froze on me the most (4 times).

And by the by, yesterday AC2 froze on me for the first time since I got it 2 weeks ago.

Spoilers~

Which makes me question how they're going to handle Cole's powers. If they reset them the story wouldn't make sense since it was all meant to train Cole morally and physically to be able handle the coming apocalypse. But if they don't reset his powers he'll be too strong, at the end of the game he's practically a god.

* - - More SPOILERS - - *

A reset in powers would be a bit strange though, considering the whole first game was his future-selfs way of preparing himself for the battle with the destroyer of the world.

But you certainly have a point. Anything more powerful than the Lighting Strike ability you gain late in the game will be overkill.

Well, they could also go the Spiderman 2 route: Hero loses self confidence and his powers along with it. The more the story progresses, the more powers he gets back, maybe with a few new ones.

Or they could also go the Ratchet and Clank route, leave the basic powers intact and eliminate the useless ones and come back with a bat shit new load of superpowers.

Or God of War 2, where a new nemesis steals them away, and he recuperates them by killing bosses.

There's many ways to fill the gaps.

My guess is that you won't loose your powers at the beginning of the game. Future Cole / Kessler had a ton of powers during the final fight. Those alone Cole will have to learn at some point. The time traveling one, in particular, sounds interesting. Imagine everything "rewinding" (people, cars, etc) around you. Of course, this would have to drain you completely or have some serious effect on your morality (maybe you can alter certain time events but your morality shifts?). The point of all of this is that, while Cole is powerful, the enemy hinted at the end is supposedly even more powerful. His minions, Moya's agents, etc, can balance the game by being more powerful or greater in number, and the powers can be tweaked by draining even a bit more juice from Cole.

An alternative to all of that could be that you keep your powers but they are weakened. After all Cole got those powers artificially. There could be side effects in the months after his initial fight. Finally, Cole's most powerful power can only be used outdoors or without any ceiling above his head. Who says we won't have more interior spaces?

I am more intrigued about the morality system. Will you be able to used your Infamous 1 saved files and start good/evil, picking up where you left off? Or will you be reseted to a neutral state? I just hope that there are a ton more choices in the style of ---SPOILER ALERT--- "save Trish or the Doctors".

"Or God of War 2, where a new nemesis steals them away, and he recuperates them by killing bosses."

Kids these days. Don't even know that's the Metroid style. Back in my day...*two hours of barely coherent ranting*

You couldn't just let the fight with the "Beast" be let to the imagination?

It's like the same people saying there needs to be a sequel to District 9. What ever happened to having a whole experience and leaving the end up to wonder?

I would prefer sly 4! Am I alone in this?

Would you buy your clone, FondueBuccaneerHitman?

The same place Jak 4 (the PSP version doesn't count), Ape Escape 4, and countless other last-gen franchises that have been abandoned are at...

I'd settle for a new Sly Cooper PSP game if it came down to it. Just make Sly an alternate skin in Infamous and I'll be happy!

A new Ape Escape HAS been confirmed though. It'll be one of the first titles to support PMC/Arc.

they even had a reference to sly 4 in infamous. does naughty dog refer to jak in uncharted? nope. at least no references i noticed.

Actually they had a couple references to jak in uncharted like in the original drakes wetsuits brand name was ottsel and I think there's more but I forget.

huh. i guess i just didn't look out hard enough. the sly 4 reference in infamous was really obvious, and got coverage here, so i guess that's why i noticed that...

The strange relic in uncharted is a precursor egg from the Jak & Daxter games

u seriously think they could continue on sly getting brain damage *wink wink id MUCH rather inFAMOUS 2, 3 instead of a dead seriesdont get me wrong i loved sly cooper but its gone now... accept it give your love to inFAMOUS

I agree with this MattyMc but you get that with any sandbox type of game. There is always a certain level of repetitiveness that will eventually begin to piss you off, it's just the nature of a sandbox.

As for the sequel, YES PLZ. I loved the first game and easily put 50-70 hours doing most everything in it.

Killzone 3 in 2010? I don't believe it!

Most of their development issues had to do with optimizing for the PS3's architecture. Now that the engines are built, they can speed things up.

Naughty Dog's tools probably help as well.

Apparently some hackers found out that killzone3.com, which currently redirects you to the Sony site, will go online on October 8th. You know how Sony is incapable of keeping a secret. Doesn't prove the game will make 2010, but still.

I think we're gonna have a good E3 this year

Also there is a good chance Demon's Souls 2 might be announced soon.

I'm just hoping Studio Liverpool is making Motorstorm 3, despite the lay-offs. :-/
