First screenshots of the next Infamous title

The first screenshots for the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, Infamous Second Son, have appeared online and for the first time in the series the title will be set in a real life city.

As we can see from this first screenshot the title is going to be set in Seattle, Washington. With the main character looking much younger and fresher than we are used to seeing in the series.

According to what little information we have this title will be set 7 years after the death of Cole, and most other conduits in America.

You play as Delsin Rowe, annoying hipster with daddy issues… or if you prefer the official line

the artistic type with a chip on his shoulder.

As in the first title Delsin gets his powers by accident after an accident and then as things normally goes he finds out that he was a conduit all this time.

Unlike Cole however his powers don’t appear to be electricity but rather smoke. This smoke will also be controlled in some form by the touchpad on the PS4 so it will be interesting to see how that works out in the end.

Hopefully we will be receiving a lot more information about this title at E3 this year but for now here are a bunch of new screenshots for your morning glory.

    I am SOLD on the PS4. If the xbox Infinite drop some bombs like this EXCLUSIVE on the 21st, it still will not matter as the KINECT 2 is MANDATORY.

    DAM the 360 OWNED SONY 2006-2009 with kick ass exclusives. WTF happened Microsoft?

    I think the 21st of May is going to be an Anti Climax on the exclusive games. HALO 5, FORZA 5 and probably Killer Instinct 2 but they all have numbers on the end of the titles. I am tired of that shit.

    The other 2 thirds of the conference is going to be about their new partnership with EA and all the other Cable TV companies and show a new way of how to look at YOU TUBE and FACEBOOK using SURFACE or some Windows 8 shit. Then they will reveal the Infinite SKUs that all have different ways of paying for XBOX LIVE. Like a 5 year car plan with a deposit or upfront installments.

    The PS4 has not even been shown yet but it has so much positive energy in their marketing THIS TIME and a goal of pleasing GAMERS… HENCE HENCE HENCE the word PLAY!!! in PLAYstation.

    The Infinite has not even been shown yet but one does not need to be PATCHER to know what they are gunning for.

    PLAYstation

      You know what I am worried about? That they hype the PS4 so badly that it doesn’t even come close to expectations…. Really. That’s what the industry does as of late and it scares me.

        But at least they are showing us some Mature new IP. The Last Guardian will be a system seller for me.

        They will change their SKUs as the market grows and will implement Microsoft’s ideas a few years down the line once they have a good install base and then remove features to cut cost and lie lie lie and do the usual corp bullshit

        BUT the games look sweet and for the time being I fit into their Target Marget.

        Kinect… what a joke.

          Sony is not promising new exclusives every year. It’s just their launch line-up that’s got 3 exclusives ATM. Sony doesn’t have that kinda dough either to churn out exclusives left right and center. Where was Sony’s fabled exclusives for the past year and a half? Ever played KZ and Infamous? They’re nothing more than mediocre titles.

            Metacritic disagrees and so does the user scores. Plus you never played it I would guess.

        Even If It did, 33% of the features that will come with the full price of the Infinite will not work in South Africa.

        Infinite MMMmmmm clever name. Makes one wonder if they knew it was going to be called the Infinite 3 years ago when they made HALO4.

        I love the Windows 8 logo on its side…. Seee I can be positive about the new Cable boX

          We don’t get 33% of the features on the Xbox 360 anyway… that’s why I’ve got 2 accounts… one South African, one American…

          I mean you can’t even get the Mortal Kombat DLC’s on SA’s XBL

            Tried that… too many things bug out and games seem to be a bit more laggy on my 1meg line for some reason… friend of mine has a US account only and that works fine… could just be my line, or me, or something

            I totally agree… which is why I changed from iPhone to Galaxy S3… and have 2 XBL accounts lmao.

            I was so happy when our XBL store was launched… but it took ages for us to get some of the Arcade games, and others have never appeared… I’m not even going into the DLC’s that aren’t available… there’s too many.

      I actually agree we will be seeing Halo and Forza not to mention Ghost, and we all know people is going to lose their mind over ghosts and suddenly Xbox is the best system evar. Predictable BS from MS.

    Sorry, did you say smoke? What, he walks up to the enemis, sparks up a Dunhill, smokes like a mothafucker, and hopes they get secondhand lung cancer and die? The game may be more than 6 hours long!
