What Made INFAMOUS A Big Deal?

[@Quest4Six510]

Infamous was such a big part of my childhood. Infamous was special because it was a single player, offline, no micro transactions, and a great story. Really hoping for a new Infamous with Cole returning.

[@elijahbanks1507]

I always felt the first game was better. as you progress through the game you feel like you’re getting way more powerful, especially with the evil powers. And the ionic storm was so much better in the first game. They just felt way more destructive. Infamous 2 definitely had more variety with the powers, but never felt quite as strong. You don’t even get the rocket until the end of the game. The story/ bosses felt better in the first game too. They did do a great job improving the traversal in the second one though.

Infamous will and always will be one of my favorite games of all time. I'm super glad you made this video because I believe not enough people have experienced Infamous or any games in the series.

I'll NEVER understand why this series wasn't remastered, it's beyond amazing

[@Prahlis92]

I actually don't think it should be remastered. A lot of stuff wouldn't really hold up well. The binary karma system is bad, the world is really grey and boring and like he said in the video the climbing is a bit floaty and not particularly fun. I did however despite all this love the game when I played it way back. The core idea is great and deserves another chance. What I think it needs is a reboot. Cherrypick what was great from the first two games and repackage it after what you've learned in the past years. And keep the music exactly the way it was.

[@fhantom2115]

@@Prahlis92 While I agree the binary karma system is bad in hindsight. I don't think the game was intended to be a choose your adventure or Cole in my opinion wasn't really designed to be a self-insert or similar to Shepard from Mass Effect where you get to design your own Shepard. In my opinion, the game was just trying to showing a story, one where you could pick between 2 versions of the story, one that is all-good or one that is sometimes realistic sometimes pure evil. They just chose the binary karma system as the vehicle for which story you want to see. Which is why I think if you ever decided to switch Karma, the game indirectly punishes you because your karma starts over and you don't have immediate access to the higher tier powers. So while the binary karma system doesn't do much to the importance of the game, I think that's just the way the story is presented. So I do think it deserves a remaster anyway.

The game strikes the perfect balance of flashy over the top powers without turning the game into a cake walk.

I remember playing this in May 2009 and then switching with [Prototype] that released the following month. What a blast that was!

[@chrisreidy1673]

I loved Infamous. The first game especially. Everything you mentioned was what made it so great. I loved the morality system, and on my first playthrough played as good Cole. That twist at the end with who Kessler was, was also mind blowing. The second game was good as well, and although I bought and played the third game, it wasn't really as good as the first two. Once finishing the third game the city felt rather lifeless with nothing left to do or explore.

[@A.P.L.O.]

The homies and I were just reminiscing on this game, so underrated, I started with infamous two and then went back to infamous one, and it just made unraveling the plots even more fun, such a unique game, and just super fun

[@1claydoe]

infamous 1 and 2 were definitely the majority of my time on my ps3. those were the days

[@mohamedh.guelleh630]

I still remember playing the demo for the first game and how much fun I had fun with that game. Thanks for bringing us back fond memories.

[@davidboesen4400]

Please do infamous 2! I love this game! They really do not get enough love, just replayed it a little while ago and it still holds up mostly

[@TheBlackZodiacGhost]

2009 was a great year for "Hero" games; inFamous and PROTOTYPE really was right up my alley. Both had excellent premises, decent-to-good writing, and were executed perfectly in terms of pace and gameplay :D

[@AlexSanchezber]

My brothers friend at the time was a huge Sony guy, and I at the time was a big Xbox guy, but he was in the middle of moving and wanted me to take care of his stuff for him. Amongst his PS3 collection was Infamous, still sealed, he had just got it. He let me try it out because I had never heard of it and the rest was history. I have tons of memories of me and my brother going back and forth playing that game and just causing havoc, and the sequels were great too. Thanks for making this episode, makes me happy to know how much other people loved this game.

[@Morbidxavier]

Infamous was one of the first games I got with my PS3 for christmas. So its holds a special place in my heart.

[@gameranxTV]

👌🏼👍🏼

[@Frost4Real]

This video was made for me. Infamous 1 & 2 are definitely in my top 10 games of all time, maybe top 5, I LOVE them. Like u said, everything worked well and was near perfect - gameplay, story, concept, world, karma mechanic, etc. On top of all that, the fact they created this all themselves and it wasnt a licensed game or adaptation is phenomenonal.

[@ARIXANDRE]

Suckerpunch has really evolved since the first inFamous but I'd hope to see a reboot with Cole McGrath back as the (anti)hero.

[@jojj334Q]

...the timing for this video...I decided to finally play the evil side of Infamous a month ago to get the platinum trophy! Boy was it trip to replay this game. Simple, direct to the point. It's something that seems to have stayed true in all of Sucker Punch's games. Along with the floaty/magnetic traversal mechanics! And I love their games for that XD Keep on keeping on SP!

[@MrSoloDolo94]

Going for the plat in 2024!

[@mikespike2099]

Basically this is why many PS3 games are timeless … the focus was on the story! Plz make more of these types of videos!

[@davidvilla5279]

I was OBSESSED with playing the infamous where he turns into a vampire and gains the ability to turn into bats and fly.

[@R3AL-AIM]

I remember playing the demo for the first game at stores in the game section or at GameStop. The graphics and mechanics were definitely next world at the time. The particle effects and stuff like ragdoll were insane coming from the PS2. This and SKATE really "WOW'd" me into that generation.

[@jrad410]

This game came few months before Arkham Asylum, so in terms of superhero games this as one of the best. Loved the graphic novel feel of it and the Karma system. Infamous 2 I still go back and play, best of the series imo.

[@jmgypsum]

dude i remember that power rush of being a bad ass super hero with amazing powers but facing a just as powerful threat! man i want more games like this! still my all time favorite games

[@BlazeGaara]

Man Infamous 1 was sooo good! It was a really cool take on the “hero” genre

[@sterldog2113]

infamous 2 was the first M rated game my mum ever let me get, I was in that weird phase of still playing skylanders while all the other kids were playing call of duty. I remember playing infamous everyday after school when I first got it. I never played the first one which I regret doing now but Infamous 2 was the first game I fell in love with and its what really got me into gaming.

[@skylarsmith5292]

I absolutely love the Infamous games. I'll admit that I've only played the most recent one with Delson and Fetch, but I absolutely loved it. It was one of the first games to make me feel something on an emotional level and connect with the characters. I haven't played the earlier games, but I have all the respect in the world for them starting this journey, and I'd love to see a new one someday.

[@patrickm2912]

I played all 3 including the festival of blood expansion for 2. I thought second son (the delson one) was pretty meh compared to the others

[@uberboomer8670]

The most recent one was solid and didn't deserve the hate it got, but I'd still confidently say it's the worst of the series which is saying something. If u can u should check out the first 2, they're amazing! And like the other comment said, the DLC for 2 was phenomenal

[@gabrieltarnopolsky5401]

Infamoys was my first ps3 game. Played and replayed it 5 times, I guess. I was younger and didn't have much experience with games, so it was incredible to explore freely the city and also the morality system, which reflected quite clearly in the game experience. At the end of my playthroughs, I remember having a preference to being a good hero, as the environment got darker at the end of the game if you chose to be a vilain. Very good game, it was nice seeing it again after many years.

[@aneudycruzguzman3081]

This game was such an amazing experience!!! I remember a friend of mine liked it so much that he let me borrow it, and I played it twice. The evil run was much more fun, the looks and the abilities was just better 😂 but the game on its core felt sooo good. It was a gull new experience 💚

[@slazini]

As a kid I had only played Wii games before upgrading to the PS3. the first game I played was the infamous demo which blew my mind and immediately made me want to buy the full game. Infamous defined my experience of big budget games. After having only played smash bros and surfs up the video game on Wii the graphics, control, and incredible story of infamous left such an imprint on me. This game is truly special and they really don't make games like this anymore, at least not frequently. I would really love a remaster of Infamous and Infamous 2 and I really hope a 4th game comes out!!!

[@riccomcmahon2157]

Just started playing the og ones like 4 days ago and I miss them 😢

[@gameranxTV]

👌

[@TheJedaiHero9000]

I do remember playing a bit of Infamous when I was younger at my friend's house, I did enjoyed it

[@BR0D1E]

I would sooo love new Infamous and Prototype games for the next gen

[@VinnyVidiVintage]

I have yet to finish the game, but really did enjoy playing it. I actually got it free from PSN when they had that big data breach that shut down the network for a while. I guess I need to revisit it.

[@h3w45]

Second son was my first platinum and really loved it!

[@shoshonnie7796]

It was fun as hell, THATS why it was a big deal

[@theblackestofshadows7903]

i hope they make another one, one day

[@krystalium11]

Recently subbed to PS Now just to replay this masterpiece. Both Infamous Saga and Prototype Saga were some of the best games I've played

[@cmdrlightwalker_9877]

Man now I wanna play Infamous again! That was such a kick ass game and so was Infamous 2. That's it we need a rerelease of those two games.

[@DAllen-xc8gd]

I absolutely love infamous it was the first series that was serious that I played

[@heisenberg1358]

@SavetionBruh nah man gameranx is a legend dont be disrespecting him like that. My guy sometimes helps me save my money by giving good reviews with the before you buy series. Nobody's content is better than gameranx.

I like how the new imfamous games makes you realize how badass cole lighting powers were ..

[@gameranxTV]

👆🏻

[@spectersnipez7942]

Infamous 1’2 were my favorite games as a kid they are such good games please bring cole back

[@cimilienp]

So crazy that you made this video literally me and my friend were talking about which infamous game was better and story wise 20 hours before this video came out! , we were essentially kids when it dropped but you can't knock the genius that is infamous 1. The entire backdrop and design of the game was something so fresh and fun and came at a time that really cemented the "this is next the generation of gaming stamp" alongside metal gear solid 4 and killzone 2( both amazing and favorite games of all time ) the games were just the right amount of groundbreaking and pure fun. Playing it , you couldn't help but feel the love the devs had for the new i.p and goddammit you were falling in love too. Traversing via powerlines and train rails only to glide soon later. Oh and the power you had with grenades, Shockwaves and the thunderstorm controlled by the six axis on the ps3 controller made you feel like a fucking badass who really had the fate of the city on his shoulders. Games at this time were fun , no extra bullshit, just fun

[@Shadows_Inc]

The funny part about the energy absorption aspect, is that you can essentially "create" energy out of nothing. Use your cheap basic shot a few times on anything metal, absorb the charge you gave it, and voilà, you have more energy than you put in. Infinite energy at any time. It was kind of broken and didn't follow physics with the law of conservation of energy, but damn was it convenient.

[@ayjays132]

I’d use that too lol I’m sure you could pull off special attacks being creative if I remembered correctly

[@bigaj6901]

I guess it made a bit more sense in Second Son, where you'd get a smoke source if the cars blew up?

[@Shadows_Inc]

@@bigaj6901 That's true, though I'd argue that a videogame doesn't "have" to make sense at the expense of fun. Sometimes it's more fun to just fall into the suspension of disbelief, and let them do whatever with the game mechanics, as long as it makes the gameplay more fun.

[@soofagamalo3180]

Haha I'd do this too! Came in real handy in a pinch - esp in the blackout areas where electricity sources were hard to come by

[@Shadows_Inc]

@@FFKonFire Thing is, it wasn't anything "running", it was just anything metal. Whether a stationary car, to a manhole cover, if I remember correctly you just just fire off electricity to anything metal, running or not, and it would hold the charge you gave it for a few seconds as a visual effect, but you could suck it back up during that time, and when you did, you got more than you put in, even if it was just a metal post or ladder.

[@dansimpson5465]

I remember this game came out around the same time as prototype and I was excited for both of them. When I finally got to play them both I thought this game blew prototype out of the water, especially graphically. It's hard to even believe that the two are contemporaneous.

[@stardawg9964]

Infamous or prototype?

[@otnielrevangil2060]

Imagine this game on P5 remastered with these controllers and graphics. Would be a whole new game

[@skro9044]

bro so happy you talked about infamous, one of my favourite games. I would love another sequel but also a remake/remaster of the original 1+2 so they're available on more modern systems and not stuck on the ps3.

[@renekuipers5792]

Back in the day me and my best friend used to play the floor is lava in infamous. We made a rule that we had to make risky and cool jumps while freerunning over buildings. This game will always be special for me ❤

[@gameranxTV]

👌👌

[@EJP668]

This game was so memorable. I remember getting it for free when PSN was hacked 😂😂

[@samus13492]

Infamous 2 is one of my favourite games of all time. It just plays so well from the fights to getting around the city. Surfing power lines never gets old.

[@Kauhl2912]

I’ll never forget how I ended up playing this game. My Mom promised me a new game if I got all As this particular year. I did it, she took me to GameStop, I had no idea what to buy. The clerk recommended Infamous to me, my mom bought it for me, and hence I fell in love with the game, the second one as well, and I enjoyed Second Son as well. If it weren’t for that clerk influencing my 12 year old self, I would’ve never had this game play such a big part of my childhood. I miss it!

[@ForeverMasterless]

I bought a PS3 specifically for this game. I already had an xbox as my main console, but I couldn't miss out on Infamous. I was a HUGE fan of electricity powers because of watching Static Shock as a kid, and I had a lot of faith in Suckerpunch because the Sly games were (and still are, even as a man in his 30s) some of my favorite games of all time.

[@JVboutaspin]

infamous was literally my childhood game and i have been recently played it when i pull out my ps3 from the basement and it is still one of the best games i’ve had in my childhood, i just wish they would make more to bring back memories

[@motionssensed]

I used to play it on a kiosk at London Drugs, I couldn't get enough and eventually bought it. Whenever I think of this game, I always hope for a rerelease. This was my favourite in the whole series.

[@bryanreyes1403]

My favorite thing to do while playing infamous was to run around the blackout part of the city Just to see how long I could survive climbing buildings shooting at people the enemies were ruthless in those areas
