    CORRECTION: InFamous: First Light came out in August 2014, not 2015. I’m as baffled as you are that I missed that...

    The music is one of the major highlights of this game. I’d argue that it might be the greatest soundtrack for a game based on how well it fits the theme.

    Infamous 1 is one of my favourite games of all time, played it when i was kid, ive never seen an open world game more grittier than this with gta4 being a close second.

    • @CainageCritique
      @CainageCritique  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The game was one of my first experiences of darker comic stories. Most superhero films didn't cross the 12A rating at the cinema.
      The tone definitely helped InFamous to stand out at the time. I think it took some inspiration from The Dark Knight Returns among other stories.

    My dad introduced me to infamous when I was 5, its been 10 years and no other game has come close to infamous in my books, I think there is just something about coles story and how grim the story and setting is. Really wish they'd remaster the first 2 games or make another one.

    • @CainageCritique
      @CainageCritique  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I agree, the first game is the best for me as well. A remaster would look pretty awesome running on the PS5. Though at the same time, developers can get burned out working on the same franchise for too long. Halo under 343 Industries is one example.

      Thanks a bunch, glad you enjoyed it. No one had ever done a complete and comphrehensive look at the entire InFamous series before.
      What I look to get across with my retrospectives is how a franchise evolved and changed over time while looking into the strenghs and weaknesses of each release.

    • @CainageCritique
      @CainageCritique  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I bet you it would have taken a more post-apocalyptic vibe. The remaining humans barricade themselves in the remaining cities.
      Then the good/bad karma choices would involve either defending the humans or joining the conduits to destroy them.

    • @personman1148
      @personman1148 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel delin if the main character would be been in a human safe zone where in the prologue it shows how shitty life is then the beast attacks. Delin is a conduit and gets recruited by Cole the karma choices are you deciding to be an angel of devil on Coles shoulder slowly becoming the new zeke to him either helping him keep what humanity he has or helping him along the path of stripping it all away.

    This just popped into my recommendations and throughly enjoyed this. Would you ever dive into the Mafia series?

    • @CainageCritique
      @CainageCritique  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it :) The Mafia series is tricky; I'm sure I would enjoy it a lot, but many commentators, most notably Noah Caldwell-Gervais (one of my biggest inspirations) have already said a lot about the trilogy.
      Could I add anything that hasn't already been said? I'm not sure. At the moment I've got a Tomb Raider retrospective in the pipeline as few have done a video featuring all twelve games.

    You should analyze prototype as well as it has its own way of doing the super hero free roam gameplay, even though it's a spiritual successor of hulk ultimate destruction

    • @CainageCritique

    Personally I play good cole in 1 then carry on the save and play bad cole in 2 I like to think that the destruction of Empire city turns him into the brutality hero Kessler wanted and in doing so Cold no longer cares about collateral damage as long as he kills the enemy's before him he then sides with the beast as that is the for certain way to save as many people as possible and he distrust anything related to the first sons or Kessler. Kessler by turning Cole into the hero he thought he should be ends up turning him into what he feared most.

    • @CainageCritique
      @CainageCritique  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's an interesting take, as if Cole went mad with rage from losing Trish in the first game. It's good that the games don't stop you from changing moralities after carrying the save data over.

    While I agree the story of second son isn’t as good as 1 or 2 I think it’s still solid. A little underdeveloped? Sure but the story it’s told is still good and the important characters get their arc handled well. Could it be better? Absolutely but I still stand by this game has a solid story
