There’s one game that PlayStation 4 owners are waiting patiently for now – the next in the way of big exclusives for their new systems. Yes, Infamous: Second Son. It’s coming to your PS4 towards the end of March, and is one of the first new games that really looks “next-gen.”
One of the things that’s so impressive about the game is the lavishly detailed environments, which show a typically soggy Seattle. Here are some new screens showing off the rainy city.
infamous: Second Son tells the story of the snotty, bad-attitude graffiti-artist Delsin Rowe and his tempestuous relationship with his brother as he comes to terms with his flashy new powers in a city controlled by the conduit-hating Department of Unified Protection.
It’s set seven years after the end of Infamous 2, and Cole’s actions in that game were believed to have destroyed all conduits – but that’s obviously not the case. Instead of the electric powers you saw in the first games, our new protagonist is instead blessed with a multitude of powers, including ethereal smoke and electric neon. Delsin’s able to absorb powers, so we’ll probably see a few more abilities soon. The game also has a grunge-heavy, angsty soundtrack, which sounds perfect to me.
It’s got a worldwide release date of March 1, and is the first exclusive AAA title since the PlayStation 4’s release. It’ll be going up against Titanfall on the Xbox One, which launches a week earlier. As a gamer who loves to get lost in engaging single player universes, who isn’t a big fan of shooters I know which one I’m looking forward to playing most.

I don’t know a single PS4 owner that is waiting “patiently” for this game… they all want it released yesterday so they can play it lol.
The game looks absolutely epic though.

This is the game to make me move to the next gen, the detail is striking and reflections and lighting. I agree with you there man, no ps4 owner is patiently waiting for this. lol

Both Killzone and Tom Raider looks very very good for a measly console. The PS4 really delivers this time round
Alien Emperor Trevor
February 5, 2014 at 09:23
Yes they do, and this is only the beginning of the generation.

Agreed. I don’t think we will be seeing Little John for a while once this is released.

I’d get a PS4 mostly for this game. Maybe around December.
Titanfall I’ll get on PC a bit sooner (Telkom allowing).
On a completely unrelated note, Don’t Starve is 60% off on Steam.

They’ve only got 2 games on sale that I’m interested in.
Agarest: Generations of War and Don’t Starve. Very tempting.

I had a look at Agarest last night because I didn’t know what it was. Did you see all the DLC for it? O_O

Most of it seems to be in-game unlockables that can be acquired simply by playing and (probably) spending the in-game currency.
Although some of it also seems to be a P2W items, but in a single-player game I don’t care about that.
Also there’s a new Humble Bundle out and I wants it.

Yeah, was playing with a friend of mine… the map that was generated is epic… got my port forwarding and everything sorted in about 2min so he could connect to my “server”. Put in almost 4 hours last night… so yeah… #addict… and dare I say it, Better than MineCraft!

With PS+ you should already have Don’t Starve in your free game collection. 🙂
So as soon as you pick up your PS4 you can jam away!

Dudes. wait till you see this game running in front of your face. The bits i saw was much earlier code from last year, and it was incredible back then. So hype.

You’ve been so hyped for this game that I’d swear it was a new Mario Bros game.

Smoke powers! Big Tobacco should have gotten in on this.

February 5, 2014 at 09:09
Yup… This is the game I’ve been waiting for, to really show me what the PS4 is made of (although Killzone did an awesome job too)! If it’s anything like the first 2, then I cannot wait to get my hands on this.
VampyricSquirrel Monk
February 5, 2014 at 09:11
Question is… are you waiting patiently???
Rock789
February 5, 2014 at 09:16
Hell no! I ain’t the patient type… 🙂
Hammersteyn
February 5, 2014 at 09:14
You should see Tomb Raider on the PS4!
Rock789
February 5, 2014 at 09:21
Oh I have! Such an awesome game! And stunning to look at. Couldn’t resist buying it and am thoroughly chuffed that I did.
I take it you’re online? You should add me if you keen (RockyZA789) – can do some multiplayer awesomeness sometime. 🙂

So, we can call this the Titan Fall killer then?

If it has online it will probably be more than 6V6 😛

I wish they could spread these releases over the year. March is going to be an expensive month

You play an irritating little vandal? Everything else about this game intrigues me, but not that…

I got bored through halfway through the previous 2 games campaigns and the missions more like a chore, like GTA4.
