It's crazy that I don't need to watch this video to understand that Infamous never fell off. Sucker Punch didn't want to be known for only one franchise hence Ghost of Tsushima

[@flashpoint5292]

@Alex Corvis I think you fail to realize that Sony didn't want pc ports until recently. Combined with the fact that the only ones they could port are Second son and First Light, there is no reason. The first two games were made on ps3 so porting to ps4 or ps5 is not worth the time hence ps now having those two games. This isn't Sony's fault nor is it Sucker Punch's fault, it's just how things go

[@Bigmellow_]

That last one with the female just killed the series 😆😆

[@Silraps]

@@Bigmellow_ First Light was a good game. It served the same purpose as Festival Of Blood. It was never intended to be a Main Line game, but more of a DLC based Side Game. The franchise died because SP moved on to different things.

Agreed sucker punch can make games just as great as infamous bc ghost of Tsushima does go hard

Wish they went with the bad ending as canon in infamous 2 tho instead of making second son, heard they went with the amount of people that did them via the trophy list percentage

[@severalclouds3288]

A bit of context that was left out on why Second Son sold so many copies is because it was one of the few games that was advertised to and launched with the ps4.

[@qrowing]

For me, it's the way Delsin controls with his smoke powers. Even something as simple as his dodge has the sort of "weightless" and "floaty" feel to it when he comes out of it. He sort of "hovers" at the end, which leads seamlessly into running. No delay really between the two actions.

I have a huge soft spot for the InFamous franchise and Sucker Punch as a whole, growing up on Sly Cooper and all, InFamous will always have a special place for me, with the Second Son arguably being my favorite, mostly because it takes place in my hometown of Seattle. I've gotten each Collector's Edition post InFamous One and Cole, Delsin, and Abigail will always have a special place in my library of gaming.

I would love another Infamous game, one of my favorite series. What I really loved is that while the story decisions may not have been hugely different depending on if you were playing good or bad, the moment to moment gameplay was massively different. Playing good meant actively avoiding injuring civilians and killing enemies, whereas bad was pure chaos, go all out, blow everything up, who cares who gets hurt in the process. With second son looking as good as it did almost 10 years ago, imagine what SP would be able to accomplish now. Fingers crossed we get to find out

I never noticed how the weather changed depending on your karma, but I did love how Good and Bad had Blue and Red as their respective electricity colors.

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

One of my favourite missions from InFamous 2 was just a little random sidequest. If you play through the Good Karma path, a woman comes up to you, and says that if it hadn't been for you sharing food supplies in Empire City (which is wiped off the map at the start of the game), her mother would've starved to death in the quarantine there. She kisses you, thanks you; and that's the mission over. I adored it as just a little example of how it felt that you were impacting real people whose complex lives, not just ticking off location markers on the world map.

[@chalexen2862]

10:37 I would like Sucker Punch to challenge themselves to make a alternate inFamous game were the protagonist has to fight against Cole, who became the new Beast.

[@AmateurAnimations65]

If you ask me, the smoking gun that kind of ended inFamous was choosing to use the good ending of infamous 2 as canon moving forward. A third game with Cole as the villain and Delsin desperately trying to gain enough powers to stop him would have been way more interesting and could have added some extra depth to Cole as a would-be savior who chose a darker path to saving humanity. But instead they based their creative choices on trophy data of all things, and as a result, Second Son looks pretty but I can mostly describe it as bootleg X-Men with vaguely infamous-related gameplay. I still like it, but it doesn't hit nearly as hard as the first two games

[@Conservative7887]

Agreed!

[@Slushie2001]

I wouldnt say that was the smoking gun, I agree this idea would be better but Second Son was in Sony's term, a success and one of their best selling games. The Series didn't die yet, Sucker Punch just wanted to move on and make a different game/series, which is now Ghost of Tsushima

Both inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 are the gems of gaming for me ❤️

[@Eggplonky]

Think it’s interesting that despite ghost of Tsushima giving the illusion of player choice (at least it felt like it did to me) with either honouring you way of the samurai and remaining honorable, vs embracing the new ways of war given to you by yuna and doing whatever it takes to win, the game still felt like it forced you to play in the ghost mode, I felt a little disappointed that the studio who did infamous, a game famous for character choice with the karma system, couldn’t have made something similar with how to play throughout that game, but maybe it’s just me

I played all of them near release and 1 has the best story, 2 is the best overall and Second Son is visually and presentation wise the best. I think the series was always missing a little something and they found it with Ghost. It would be interesting to see what their experience with Ghost in a new inFamous game could do.

[@dannymarsh3080]

I cannot stress how much I have wanted to see a true third instalment to infamous. I would love the theorised story surrounding Kessler and I think, with the karma system in place, it would allow Sucker Punch to create such a sympathetic hero turned villain; was he a coward who refused to take responsibility for the safety of others, or was he a caring and loving father who lost his family to something he couldn't foresee? How did he discover his powers, how did he lose his loved ones, how did he travel back in time, how did take overthrow Alden and cease control of the First Sons? And I would love, absolutely love Infamous 3 to end with the beginning of Infamous 1; "Activation plus six minutes. Pulse is 45, respiration 10. Looking good, Cole". God, it would be so good! I hope Sony and Sucker Punch realise this, because if they remastered Infamous 1 and 2 for the PlayStation 5, before releasing the Infamous 3 I've proposed, it would make them so much money.

[@Vetmire]

Good video, but one small issue at 6:14 is that the developers have stated that the good endings of the games are considered canon, not the evil endings. Meaning Cole's story was in fact over after inFamous 2

While I have no problem with them moving onto other projects, I feel like I speak for a lot of other Infamous fans when I say that we need at least one more game from them. If you want to move on from Infamous from that point onwards then fine, but Second Son really felt like it was setting up this larger universe with the aftermath of Cole MacGrath's death and knowing the fact that the community's decision on what ending they ultimately chose in the 2nd game influenced where the story headed afterwards was really really cool.

Wish it had been longer and they had developed the good and evil more and Eugene needed to be fleshed out more and given some more story time like Fletch got.

[@jxy_vbn8156]

Second Son was not the first infamous game I ever played but it was by far one of the most beautiful, fun and downright enjoyable games I’ve ever played. The characters were interesting in their own right, the story was thought-provoking and easy to get invested in and the gameplay was really fantastic. Using the Neon power’s dash to traverse the cityscape at night along with the particle effects, lighting and different settings in the city was an absolute joy. I really REALLY want this game series to come back :(

[@claudioestevez1028]

Everything sucker punch does is pure gold. I've played infamous (1), infamous second son (also first light), and ghost of tsushima. These are some of my favorite games ever. Infamous second son is incredibly fun. First light is also very fun, I can't believe it had bad reviews, maybe because it was too short? For me the funnest power (which is not necessarily the most powerful power) was light, so I really enjoyed the first light spin-off.

I remember playing infamous 2 back on the PS3. Cole Mcgraph is one of my favorite characters of all time. At the time when I played, I was too young to recognize the weight of his decisions, and the honor in his behavior.

[@АлексейНикитин-у8у]

I won’t forget how I was playing as a good guy in Second Son, and the only last boss really made me to kill her, but F**in karma system didn’t allow me to do it. I was so irritated that I dropped it and never finished it

[@oneandonly3924]

Rise and fall? When did it fall?

[@chaosdeus1]

No mention of Festival of Blood? That was a great side game from 2. I loved the vampire powers.

[@jvmoony]

9:55 is what you're looking for, guys. The other is just the history of Infamous series.

[@Dzzy123]

Sucker Punch made a huge mistake making the good ending of 2 canon. The evil ending was far more interesting because it was morally gray. Placing Second Son after 2's good ending actually undermines Cole's sacrifice if anything.

[@royery]

Infamous Second Son and First Light were fantastic. My favorites of the series I must say.

[@siddesman5607]

Great video! My favorite is Second Son. Such a great game

[@shaddouida3447]

Infamous Reboot

[@MagicCardboardBox]

Man, if they brought this series back, it would be so successful. They could just do second son again, another reboot(ish)

[@dr_zephyr]

It would be amazing to see them return to Infamous, but i just pray they don’t make another Thieves in Time mistake and just dump the property to another company

[@Renatinho12ful]

anytime I revisit infamous feels like I'm in touch with an old friend. The infamous second son city is ridiculously immersive, just to free roam in there feels like time well spent

[@skittzoeheartless2778]

I've been gaming 40 years now. And cole was my favorite superhero game to this day. I really love the story. And the progression. I was sad to see him die on part 3. So had a hard time playing second son. I actually grew a bond with cole. Still hoping they make a remaster. Thats why im here. A friend asked me what was my favorite game on ps3. And this is the game i remember the most. Rip cole😢

[@luispadilla2842]

I rather a series go dormant on a good note than be milked till it’s ruined their reputation (battlefield, ghost recon, etc)

[@ClevilGames]

The 1st infamous will always be my favorite, i love the grittiness of the city and its art style, was defo one of the best IPs from ps3 generation. Would be amazing to see a remaster, all the lighting effects would look unreal on current gen

[@imarock.7662]

Infamous was the first ps3 game I ever played. I remember it coming bundled with Batman Arkham Asylum, and playing the hell out of both of those games. But Infamous was different, I've never played anything as smooth as Infamous before. And from that day forward, I've been a fan of Infamous ever since. I love love love Infamous, and I hope that it comes back one day. It's too good of a series to let fade away.

[@ItsDanbo]

The biggest thing for 2nd son was that it felt underdeveloped and had more potential. But from what I heard, it was because during the launch of the ps4, there were 2 games that were going to be released, second son, and the Order 1886. Sony America wanted to give time for The Order to be more polished, so Second son ended up being rushed. I really like both games though, Second son was fun, but needed more, while The Order 1886 had an amazing and interesting story, but lacked substance and popularity after the release. I really hope both games get some sort of follow up

[@markpmrn]

one of the reason why second sun is the most selling copies is bcs its one of the games for ps4 and the console recently just came out.

[@Catalanskrr]

I absolutely loved infamous 1 when it came out. As well as I absolutely love 2 and second son. All three are so damn fun to play. I really wish we get a new one :)

[@thebatmanwholaughs219]

Infamous 2 is in my top 10 best games of all time 😭

[@WhiteWolfTechGaming]

The player pleasing is an understatement of SuckerPunch. When they were developing the first inFamous they wanted Cole to have hair. But when they would give him hair the game would crap out. So the easy fix for them at the time was making him "bald" or having a very short buzzed head. When inFamous 2 was coming around and released their teaser trailer with Cole having hair, you can at least understand why they did that. With a new and better console, they were able to accomplish what they couldn't in the first game. But, of course, the back lash of the hair was enough for them to give Cole his buzzed head. I learned this before inFamous 2 came out because there was a documentary I saw on KZbin about SuckerPunch talking about the first game. Personally, I liked Cole with hair and frankly because I knew that's what they wanted of their character.

[@SoulCasta]

Would love a new installment in the inFAMOUS series. Like you said, the first game in the series is my favourite and it was the first one I played. I remember having to decide between inFAMOUS or Prototype and really glad I picked inFAMOUS. I never did get around to playing Prototype so no idea if it was any good, but never regretted my game choice.

[@ti4383]

There’s been hints that prototype 3 is actually in development and has been since 2021, prototype and infamous are both on the same level for me and I would like to see both to be released in the future. There both my childhood

[@RoyalHustler09]

First game was Infamous 1, but the second one is hands down my favorite of the series. The third one Second Son was good, but the weaker one of the three to me.

[@ROCKSTAR3291]

I love open world games with fast traversal mechanics like Just Cause, Spiderman, Infamous, Prototype etc... these games are always fun. I would love another Infamous. I never played the second game but Infamous 1 and Second Son were really fun.

[@hot-_-fries1254]

The reason why I got to play the infamous game in the first place is because I was a kid in a broke household around 2011 when the Sony hack happened, and the only thing I could play was the first infamous demo where you have to ride the train, I played that demo religiously and even did both karmas in that short demo, it was an amazing time to be a gamer and a Sony fan surprisingly , infamous was a breath of fresh air compared to big name titles like Spider-Man, and other movie games that came out at this time.

[@Redvsblue2132]

It's a small thing but I feel the sound of the powers in second son really hurt it. The thin sounding powers made it hard to feel as powerful as other games. Mass Effect has very limited animations for the biotic powers compared to other superhero type games but the sound is what sells it for me and second felt lackluster in that department.
