InFAMOUS 2 Is Almost a Perfect Sequel, Here's Why

- A perfect sequel is a game that improves on essentially everything from the first game. It expands the story told in the first game, expands the gameplay, and ideally sees some refined graphical fidelity. Now, a perfect sequel is not a perfect game in my eyes. I don’t think InFAMOUS 2 is a perfect game, a really good game, hell yea, but not a perfect one. With that being said it improves on almost everything from the first game and that in my eyes makes it damn close to the perfect sequel. Now if you have not seen my video on InFAMOUS 1, I highly recommend that you take a look at that as it explains what I liked and didn’t like but I can very briefly give a recap here.

Essentially, InFAMOUS 1 was a really ambitious game and as I argued in my video on it, too ambitious for its own good. The map seemed to be too large for the traversal abilities to keep up with and it was even too large for the console to keep up with. Textures were often muddy and popin was almost as numerous as the major frame rate drops which would often tank into the single digits. Those same textures also just had a very muddy colour scheme that made Empire city a bit of an eye sore at times. The story was pretty interesting and despite being relatively simple on the surface, had a ton of lore that kept me engaged despite it being a little cheesy, which again, I didn’t mind. The traversal was a little too primitive for me and there were too many skyscrapers with little ways to scale them effectively. Mission design was fun in some cases but often felt like padding. The morality system did a good job of justifying both the good and evil options and your choices actually made a reasonable difference. The combat was a little too difficult for my taste but not in a good way. I found too many enemies just flat out one shotted you and these same enemies had the ability to go invisible. Boss fights were often just okay and they unfortunately were pretty unremarkable aside from the spectacle alone.
Fortunately InFAMOUS 2 in my eyes has a better story, better characters, a better world, better gameplay, and better graphical fidelity than its ancestor and I’m going to try and explain why I feel that way throughout this video.
Before we go any further I have to clarify that I will be spoiling everything from both InFAMOUS 1 and 2.
Now with that being said, just about everything in InFAMOUS one both good and bad, was improved upon or expanded upon here in InFAMOUS 2. InFAMOUS 1 stars Cole McGrath, a courier that ends up gaining the power to control electricity after a package he is delivering, which is a radioactive bomb called the ray sphere, detonates. Cole was not the only one who had powers activated by the ray sphere and his goal is to stop those who are using their powers for evil. He gains a reputation as a hero and after defeating a mysterious figure named Kessler, he prepares for an abominable foe, named the beast. Now, there is also an Evil route but the Good ending is canon. Now for a more in depth summary and analysis please refer to my InFAMOUS 1 video.

An Infamous 1 and 2 HD remaster would be super dope.
A man can dream😭
SuckerPunch renewed the website recently, so either a remaster or a part 3 not second son crap.
@@randwindhusk I actually really liked the first half of second son, reminded me a lot of my favorite found footage movie Chronicle, the second half kinda lost me. I would imagine it's a remaster, I wouldn't imagine SP going back to infamous this soon after Ghosts of Tsushima. Hopefully it's a BluePoint remake since it's a Sony IP, Demon souls and SOTC are the two best remakes out there IMHO besides the RE 1 remake. A BluePoint remake of Either Infamous 1 or 2 would be a dream come true.
@@davenic2471 if that’s true, I wonder if bluepoint will use their own engine or sucker punch new engine
PLEASE Sony PLEASE
i would INSTATLY buy a ps5 for it, i say that because asking sony to go the route of microsoft and release their games on pc aswell as console is to much
I remember when me and my two siblings were all sick. My mom literally couldn't sleep for a week because of how frequently we all were throwing up. So she booted up my PS3 and decided to play Infamous 2. A week later when we were all done throwing up everywhere she had gotten the platinum trophy.....that week was bad don't get me wrong but those memories of watching and helping my mum get 100% is a memory I will keep for the rest of my life. Goes to show how video games can really have a positive impact.
I know what ya mean homie, for me, my similar memory is when I was in the 6th grade, I got super super sick with mono and couldn’t go to school or even walk around the house without getting sick or falling down, so for about 2 weeks I stayed home, and played assassins creed brotherhood. To this day, every time I see, hear, or play that game it takes me back to those days of being sick and playing that game alllllll day long. Felt amazing to get lost in a good game when I needed something to focus on
Bruh how did ur mom get a platinum my mom can’t even find Netflix on my ps4
@@Mattheftsmella My mom was 17 when she had me so she is no stranger to technology and playing video games

19:28 the ionic freeze has an effect where it doesn't hit any civilians, so it's more practical to use than the tornado if you're trying to get good karma
Thanks for letting me know I’ll edit the pinned comment
Infamous has that design I wish other developers return to.
-Large but not massive worlds
-Missions that actually build the world with decent rewards
- fun traversal ( no horses or cars)
Yeah it’s the over complexity that a lot of games suffer from now. I just want a simple, fun and memorable experience that isn’t just filled with hours and hours of unecessary filler and un fun side activities or empty, uninspired open worlds with nothing to do in them. I don’t care how graphically advanced it is, I just want something that looks unique or pleasant to see and is fun to play with a fun and lovable character and story like many of the others we’ve had in the past. Is that too much to ask I don’t know. There are still some games that come out here and there that I really like but it really feels like it just gets harder and harder to find new and impactful art but it’s ight because i’ll always have my faves. Love
Spiderman ps4. That's all that I can think in recent memory.

Infamous 2 was basically my entire childhood, and what got me into gaming in the first place.

I played so many good games on the PS3. Little Big Planet and InFAMOUS were my childhood games.
@GN Online Gaming ooo we got a dirty delete, I was confused who Austin was lmao

Wow you are a baby
Infamous 1 Cole’s voice acting was gruff as hell, but damn was he badass.
I like his voice better in 1, in 2 he kinda sound squirrelly if you know what I mean
@@CJMaserflash no
@@CJMaserflash I can see where you are coming from, but Cole definitely had more emotion in 2.
@@CJMaserflash His voice in 1 was and will always be iconic and is THE cole. But the voice in 2 just feels more real and human
@@CJMaserflash Yes
"Killing Zeke made you feel bad" that's quite the understatement. I would put that moment up there with other video game deaths.... It was damn heartbreaking.
Yes it was my first ending for the game cause the evil powers were awesome in the second game unlike the first I almost cried for 2 days straight cause i loved zeke as a charchter
@@SSJ_Wyld Smart choice, I like both endings but the evil ending stuck with me for days.... Hell its still stuck with me
@@codyd13 it definitely is the hardest hitting ending, It did more than just hurt me, it made me feel like he was a friend I’d known my whole life, and I was making a choice I didn’t want to, but had to.
Both endings fucked me up. I personally did evil first and cried cuz Cole fried both Zeke AND Nyx. Then I played the good and I was crying more🤣
@@shellyrpender Bro, I get you guys points, but fucking watch Cole die broke my fucking heart. The afterwards too, with zeke telling Cole's story. To not say about the hype and hope I felt when I say that lighting strike the boat at the end.
“Half as long...”
“...Twice as bright.”
“You know I have to, brother...”
“Yeah... I know....”
I’m not crying, you’re crying!!!
Indeed the saddest moment in the whole franchise, I don’t think any other ending hit harder than that.
Having to violently kill Nix was bad enough, but having to put down Zeke like a dying dog made it so much worse
@@TheMurrmursonbottle sadly that's the only way we can put it, if we picked the evil ending and didn't "put him down like a sick dog" he would've suffered for days, weeks, probably even months (I don't remember how long those who caught the plague lived, since it's been years since I've seen anything related to Infamous 2's story, but you get my point), sooner or later he would've died, it just would've been more painful, for both parties.
Nope, he said ”I gotta try”
@@shellyrpender Halo 3 wants your location
"The game was to difficult"
Me: What?
*sees his aim*
Me: Ahh, I see
I didn't wanna say anything 😂 Cuz I beat it on Hard mode when I was 11
Respectfully.. his aiming is complete ass
Ya I beat it as a kid a bunch of times on hard and got both endings lol.
I remember when I first started playing it I would always go normal, beat both endings, then started again for how amazing the story is. Completed the tutorial again and it auto set the difficulty to hard, I'm like, okay, and I did it on hard. Been playing hard every since lol
He is trying his best, maybe. Hopefully not.
"I love you, brother, and I'm sure going to miss you"
That line always makes me tear up, man.
It took me way too long to realize they used the exact quote at the end of Infamous: Second Son. It wasn't the greatest game but the new powers were cool.

@@LiveWithBabaTV you mean they are shit? Or they are good¿?
I wish Second Son had gone with the "evil" ending of 2. Imagine God King Cole going around the world, powering up conduits and destroying a city at the time. Then along comes Delsin (in this situation I'd set it in Asia so Delsins name would be changed), a conduit who's power is to absorb others powers. He's the first person who poses a genuine threat to Cole, and now we've got a really interesting conflict of Delsin trying to gather enough power to take on Cole. In this situation the good ending could simply be killing Cole, no one should have that power and stopping Coles mission, saving a few Asian cities from his destruction. Evil ending Delsin absorbs the power, forgetting Coles somewhat moral attempt to save humanity for the plague and instead becoming a self-absorbed dictator of the entire planet.
If they were to be ambitious, show that God King Cole is actually a good leader. He's fair, uses his power to enforce justice not his own personal desires. The conduits who go after Delsin don't do so because they're told, but because they genuinely love Cole and respect his leadership.
Man, that would have been so epic. There are so many more creative directions they could have gone when it comes to art and level design in Asia, as opposed to seattle
@@Apolonirr I really like Seattle as a city, I hope to live there some day, but from a parkour gameplay perspective it is pretty flat. A fictional Asian city could've offered so much more unique aspects for the series. Imagine infamous' version of Beijing, with bamboo fields and thick fotests on one side and towering neon skyscrapers on the other
@Hassan Rehman ha ha, you're too kind
The original intention was for Second Son to follow the "evil" ending, but they looked at the trophy data for 2 and since most people chose the "good" ending they decided to make that the canon ending.
@@nordicrain I've heard that before, and I find out incredibly disheartening. If you look at the data, most people choose the good options in games. To tell a worse story for popularitys sake seems like the wrong way to go
I have this headcanon that Infamous one when the ray sphere went off it damage Coles vocal cords and they just didn't fully healed until the second game. But that's just a theory a stupid theory thanks for reading.
Na bro I agree Thats a cool idea
You just made the voice change logical and canon, well done 😂👌
EDIT: I'm jokingly saying that of course
I´ve thought about it too!
In the mission where you nuke the beast you can actually backtrack to the swamps after you beat the ice soldiers and see the beast in person without it attacking you, also if you try and get near it, it pushes you back.

@@shellyrpender A remaster would scratch that itch, my PS3 died last year and I've been dying to revist them (though a new game would delight me)
@@cc-skits655 I agree, and with the remaster they could add more side missions and a remaster of the ugc system, so there is more replay ability, and adding more abilities would be nice too.

Haha 😂
babe wake up, that boy aqua just posted another video
Yeah
I'm so glad you're giving this series some love. The first two are classics and you almost never hear people talking about them.
So true man! I hear everyone talking about the Ps4 game Im like man....
They'll never know.
Indeed, I personally thing 1 & 2 are much better story wise and power wise. Gameplay and graphics are really what hit in Second Son
Agreeed, Infamous was my favorite PS3 exclusive.
I'm so upset I didn't see this when it came out. I love inFamous so much I even have a tattoo of Cole. No one talks about the games these days and it sucks
I really wished they made the bad ending in Infamous 2 canon, so that we could get more progression in Cole's story than getting Infamous Second Son.
It would've been really interesting to see Cole take over the world. Maybe a couple of Conduits (including Delsin) could create a sort of resistance against Cole. Perhaps at some point Delsin becomes the leader of said resistance and has to learn about the responsibilities of being a conduit and a leader, in turn building his character.
The endings could be between Delsin joining or beating Cole and taking his powers, thus becoming "The Beast" (inFAMOUS) or Delsin defeating Cole and persuading him to use the RFI together to save humanity, at a cost losing their powers (Hero)
Yeah, they could have had Cole as the antagonist for the next few games in the series.
I’ve honestly come to terms that the RFI ending is canon, Cole acts more in character anyway
@@ryanhowe6543 yeah, the problem with the choices in inFamous is that most of them are just your character being uncharacteristically dickish. The good endings don't feel as forced.
The beast ending is honestly the only “bad” choice I believe canon Cole would do. But even in that ending, Cole was still given some lines of dialogue like “they know they’re about to die” and “c’mon, join us!” In a rather villainous tone that makes me question “how is this the same guy regarding canon, especially that the beast ending was originally meant to be canon
All my homies HATE the valve cap mission in flood town
YES forreal
We're a hive mind lol
That mission was fucking torture, also that gas balloon mission in the first game, that took me way longer then it should have.
I honestly just wish there were more options, more endings. Non colour coded. A good a 'bad' selection of endings. How they're handled would be based entirely upon how you've lived up until the moment of the decision. That way it can be a seamless gray area story most of the time. That's the idea karma system
No what you're saying is you want a game based on choices and consequences, not good or bad. You would like Dragon Age.
The problem with that is it would take an extremely long time to create each possible ending/detail would take forever to make
You meaning a anti hero route where you are neither good or bad
Honestly that would be cool for the series
@@cryguy0000 there would be 5 endings at most tbh. It's pretty easy to do. Not that I'm a game designer, I just mean the parameters are easy to lay out.
True good, neutral good, neutral, neautral evil, true evil. Im sure sucker punch could do that easily.
I argue New Vegas does this. The Courier has multiple different ending paths, and you can get each one at any karma level
Killing Zeke was the saddest thing of my whole childhood when I first chose to do the evil playthrough.
One of my favorite games as a kid. Seriously I hope Sucker Punch makes a New inFAMOUS game or even a REMASTER for the first two games.
The touch at the end saying “I love this series , and im sure gonna miss it” Like how Zeke says “I love you brother, and im sure gonna miss ya”
Sucker punch went from two great games (infamous) to a masterpiece (Ghost of Tsushima). Most people say naughty dog and Santa Monica are the best Sony studios but for me sucker punch became one of my best if not the best studio from Sony with Ghost and I’m really looking forward to more of their projects.
Not to mention that sly Cooper was also great games
Bro Sucker Punch has been making god tier games since the ps2. I love em
@@hypernel1798 Damn i forgot about Sly lol you're right!
Infamous 2 shits aaaaaaall over ghost of tsushima on eeeevery level imaginable
@@marcogianesello6083 Tbh that's a hot debate. It's true I play the shit out of infamous 2 and I haven't played ghost of tsushima yet but honestly choosing between being a electrical freak or a deadly samurai I'll choose the samurai. But stil Infamous 2 is on my top 10 favorite game of all time
We need to see Cole 1 more time he still hasn't learned Lightning Blade & instant fast travel via summoning a lightning bolt being enveloped in it & reappears being slammed down from the heavens 😁
As much as I would love an infamous 3 following a reborn Cole, I don't want them to bring him back. It would lessen the impact of his sacrifice. Now if he's sent into an alternate dimension like the Beast did (kinda) where he has to fight crazy shit, that'd be cool.
@@ratatoskrnuts6354 if they bring Cole back i want him as a secondary role like a mentor that teaches you you know hes powerful and the oldest Conduit and he teaches younger ones how to life and use their Abilities for the good.
It would’ve been awesome as hell if they made second son based on the evil ending of infamous 2. Cole being the main villain wouldve been dope
This is my absolute favorite game of all time. I remember playing the demo a ton until I got the full game.
Same, its the GOAT of games
I still havent got the full one and still play the Demo 😭
Having your Karma determine the properties of the new powers you get form Kuo or Nix would be interesting.
An Evil Cole using cryokinesis to fire sharp shards of ice into foes or shattering frozen enemies.
A Heroic Cole using napalm tar to immobilize enemies and summoning critters to distract rather than harm foes. (This one isn’t as strong of a case since napalm is typically harmful anyways)
The amount of nostalgia I felt while watching this video makes me want to play this game again. Really good video, you did an awesome job with this, will definitely watch your other videos! Infamous 2 is definitely always gonna be my favorite game.
I’ve been waiting for this one so thank you aqua, you legend of a man!!
the evil ending with the music at the end is still the most heart wrenching shit i ever played
half as long, twice as bright
“I love this series, and I’m sure gonna miss it.” Did you have to rip out my heart like that? I was having such a nice time watching this too.
4:00 I remember reading somewhere that the ray sphere fried Coles vocal chords which is why he sounded so gruff in the first game
Anyone else wish we got another inFAMOUS with Cole?
Yesssssss
no
Dude, the quality of these video essays is excellent. Keep up the great work Aqua!

the most underrated channel, hope you gain a ton of subs man
I’m a simple man. Aqua makes a video. I watch a video. Simple
I get chills every time I see that Good Karma Ending cutscene. Cole going all authruistic suicide route for the greater good hits like a damn truck for someone like me who was really invested in the series and platinum'ed all the games. The series could go with a reboot or new game entirely because I wasn't satisfied with Delsin's story, it was the weakest for me by far (plot, stakes, even characters besides Fetch).
Perfect timing I am doing my essay and now I something I can just listen to while doing it.
I just watched the Video... IT IS GREAT. As always. It's also admireable, how you get so many videos done while you're also at university.
I appreciate a lot of effort goes into these videos. Well done and keep up the good work!
Criminally underrated channel keep up the good work. If you could cover AC3 that’d be pretty gangster of you
As someone who studies game design for college, the whole quick wheel thing would be possible it would just take a lot of trail and error to get it right
The evil ending for InFamous 2 is legit one of the saddest moments in gaming for me. First Zeke and Cole's understanding that neither of them can look away, they've both gotten to the point that they can't back down and even though Zeke knows he stands no chance against a practical demigod, he still holds his gun up. Then when Cole has to take over as the beast, man. We were absolutely robbed of a good story after Second Son came out. And they used playstation trophy data to decide which ending they considered canon, are you kidding me? An InFamous 3 or an alternate Second Son where you either fight against a genocidal Cole sinking deeper into the darkness in order to cope with being the Beast or you help him in his mission would have been fantastic, again, we were robbed.
And what really pisses me off is from a video interview with the director talking about “we wanted to honor their end choices” A CHOICE THAT WAS MADE FOR US!! Are you fucking shitting me?! You might as well end the story at 2 already
Second son was still an amazing game though but yeah there definitely shouldve been a game for both scenarios
I'm going to be honest, I think the evil ending would be most fitting to second son
Even strange considering that in every game ever the good ending is the one people go for the most is just that way.
This made me super nostalgic, Great video man!
I would've liked if Nix's path in the story was her learning to be more heroic, she starts by giving Cole evil missions but tries to change the more Cole refuses those ideas. So that in the final decision, Kuo, the heroic one, flips to John's side while Nix chooses the heroic path. The revenge for her pets thing kinda felt forced on Nix, it felt like manufactured hate to force Nix to choose a side when normally she probably would've chose to save herself like Kuo.
I gotta say the InFamous 1 Cole voice actor was way cooler. He sounded like he should: in pain, suffering mentally and physically, unable to fully grasp what he has become and was has happened to his home. I definitely feel like he should have sounded just as gruff, especially after losing Trish in the first one
_We need a new Infamous game bruh_
Too bad we ain’t getting one the ps5 would be perfect for it
Love your videos man keep up the great work. I have all of the trophies in the inFamous franchise
amazing video man, I grew up with these games & you have no idea how good it feels to see people still acknowledging one of my favorite ps3 game franchises.
YOOOO JUST AS I GO ON MY LUNCH BREAK I LOBE YOU
The memories I have with this amazing game bro, it’s one of my favorites of all time
You are doing a great job, can't wait to see what is next!
Keep up the great work man each vids a banger
Gotta say even after everything, I still much prefer the first voice actor. I wish he had a chance to voice this game. My biggest issue is the inconsistency of the voice
Right? He lost so much after the 1st game, I thought his rough voice made sense, especially after Trish dying and Zeke's betrayal, it should have stayed dark and pained
Tbh I didn't realize his voice wasn't the same as the original. Lol
Man the Hero/Villain system that infamous has just never really clicked with me. Your choices have 0 consequences And even characters like Nix even though they've told you time and time again that she doesn't want anything to do with you she still keeps popping up just to give Cole the chance to choose evil
I love these two games, you posted this just as I remembered them (InFamous 1 being in a quarantine/lockdown state, crazy)
Damn. No mention of the Vermaak Ice Bro. He was the real MVP.
R.I.P. Cried when I took him down.
I'd really like to see a video on Infamous: Festival of Blood. As I'm sure you know, it's stand-alone DLC, and while it essentially does everything Infamous 2 did, I think as a game, it does enough different, while minimizing its scope, to truly stand on its own. And I guess it shows how much Sucker Punch listened to fan feedback because you actually can fly in that game lol. Either way, the game feels a lot more isolated or self-contained than the others.
Just because they listened to the fans doesn't mean it's good, specially that feature.
We’re in the beginning of the PS5 era, and yet there’s STILL no new infamous game 😑
Maybe infamous second son2?
Really needed someone to make this video
Love the video just subbed! Hope you do the infamous 2 dlc because it’s almost the size of a full separate game and i love the vampired out aesthetic
I haven't even watched the full video yet, just started actually, but I just wanted to say, I absolutely adore your videos Aqua, you do such a great job and I can tell a LOT of work and thought goes into them and I always love watching them!! I totally understood where you were coming from with your video about 1, it has a lot stupid stuff in it, a lot of bullshit enemies that one shot you, Empire City isn't the prettiest (personally I don't mind a really grimey looking city but I understand it isn't for everyone), the graphics have not aged well at all practically, in fact they were already kinda dated when the game came out, cause there were a lot of prettier games coming out and already out when Infamous released. But despite all it's faults, I love the world, I love the story, I love the characters, I even love the gameplay (aside from the more broken enemies), I even love the voice for Cole in 1 as well, I love his 1 and 2 voices equally!! I feel you though, that 2 improved on 1 in almost every way imaginable!! Second Son was a huge letdown for me!! Alright, gonna shut up and actually watch now!! XD
Damn this comment really made my day lol thank you 🙏 😊
Best INFAMOUS Game imo, loved it.
My favorite aspect about Infamous 2 is that you can gain both good and evil powers from completing the game twice.
I love how when you plat this game, it gives you access to all of the powers, no matter the karma or decision you made in the game. Combining firebird strike and ice launch was awesome as a kid because, It was just like the firebird clip in the game xp purchase screen, where they combined both moves.

Very Nice, One of my very favorite games of all time. This series is CRIMINALLY underrated. Deserves so much more praise. I’m gonna be typing my thoughts as I go in the video so I don’t forget.
Yeah, The End Credits them “Fade Away” is a great track, fits really well with both endings and the pretty somber tone of the whole game really.
Really thinking about it, I’m pretty surprised the games still looks as good as it does. The art style really does it for me as well.
Bit of a Nit pick, but the plague isn’t actually a plague, or a virus, it’s radiation poisoning.
The grind rails and the wires in the game were really improved from Infamous 1, the wires really flow into one another more, which I believed you mentioned in your first video. They go into one another without Cole having to adjust his direction and slowing down, this made traversal much faster as well.
Personally I loved flood town, I don’t really have a reason, I just find it really fun to navigate and zip around in, maybe because Cole is so low to the ground.
Haha, no way. I never noticed that Subway at all in any of my playthroughs. Strange.
The Tether is great move I agree. Good fun to whip around with.
I never really used the Ionic Drain. It just never seemed necessary. I only used it when I wanted to look cool. I also never used the telekinesis power.
I agree, Amp is a great addition.
I don’t know if you’ll mention it, but the mission where you power up the area by using the long range bolt thing are really boring and needlessly frustrating. Really should have had missions similar to the sewer missions.
Kessler still had a more interesting boss fight then The Beast or Bertrand.
Karma is lot more simplified. There isn’t much depth to many of the choices. It would have been better if they kits made it so you have to stick to your karma when you made the first couple choices.
Finished the video, another great one. The endings of this game really bring out the feels. I can’t wait for the next upload.
About that karma decision on taking Kuo's or Nix's powers: I think the reason it was tied to karma was because Kuo never wanted her powers in the first place, so taking them would be doing her a favor (Good). But taking Nix powers could've been seen as evil either because 1. she was never at risk of loosing her power from the machine, or 2. just the fact that your choosing her power and forcing Kuo to deal with hers for a little longer. Then again, I could be wrong about both, it's been a few years.
Great video! Loved Infamous 1 and 2 as a teenager, hoping for a Festival of Blood DLC video as well
Honestly they should make one for second son too a festival of blood dlc in second son
Why is more evil to throw an empty train to the enemy base than use cops as human shields.
The good ending...man that still gives me chills to this day. One of the very few games in my life that made me cry more than I expected.
It's one of the best exclusives made for the PlayStation during the seventh generation, and it still holds up to this day.
I came across INFAMOUS by chance because it was a demo on my dads ps3. When I bought the game INFAMOUS 2 had just come out. I played through INFAMOUS then beat 2. It’s my favourite series beside Dead Space. Cole and Zeke will always hold such a dear place in my heart. I love those two. Fantastic video.
It’s always a good day when I see that Aqua uploads
Excellent work as usual hope you can do Prototype series next fingers 🤞
Prototype was litty
I love that this games fan base is still so active and happy with this series to this day.
Only thing I disliked about infamous 2 was that Cole's evil lightning went from red to orange
The only issue I had with the main story is how it tricks you into thinking main cutscenes will change depending on your karma but they only do it once (upon actually entering New Marais) and then drop the concept entirely.
Great video as always!
Damn, an infamous 2 video in 2021. That's nice to see man cuz this is one of my all time favorite games. I'm gonna give it another go during this summer before class starts again.
I remember when the beta gameplay first came out, Cole had been totally redesigned. New face, new voice, he had hair. He looked a lot like Nathan Drake and the fans were not happy and Sucker Punch delayed the release so they could change Cole back to look closer to how he'd looked in the original game.
I remeber this all to well. Had the Gameinformer magazine with his redesign thinking who the fuck is this guy lmao. So glad SP changed his design for the actual release.
Love your content, man! You earned another subscriber!
I might not be a gamer today if my dad hadn’t brought home a PS3 with inFamous in the box. I had no idea what the game was, but the guy on the cover looked cool so I popped it in and was HOOKED!
Infamous 2 was great, but I slightly prefer 1 despite its glaring flaws because I liked Empire City's atmosphere. I hated that Moya and Alden were killed off screen in a comic book. It was weird not seeing them be referenced all that much in 2. If they make a new Infamous game, I'd like to see them bring Sasha back since it's unclear whether or not she's dead.
Love ur vids bro 👌
I was about 13 when i played infamous now I'm 21 now crazy how time flies i remember not having to worry about anything but playing as much as I can before i had to fall asleep. I'll never forget this game i had so much good memories
