Pink lights, beanies and the city of rock ‘n roll. Damn, I cannot wait for Infamous: Second Son. Which is why I should hurry up and do a new order for the game after my last one got cancelled for ‘”abuse”. Infamous: Second Son will most likely be a lengthy game. And once the end credits roll, there’ll be more content on the way.
DLC for the game is indeed in the works, as game director Nate Fox explained to website PSSite.com: "At the moment we are working on new content for inFamous: Second Son (PS4), which will be available in the next few months."
No idea what that DLC is about, but we do know that the special edition of Infamous: Second Son has some DLC included. Called Cole’s Legacy, the extra content explains just how the world changed following the conclusion of Infamous 2 after Cole put into motion a plan that would have ramifications on the globe. Depending on your actions of course, but for Second Son, the good ending is most likely canon.
Personally, I’m hoping the DLC heads off in the same direction as Infamous: Festival of Blood. That was a great piece of DLC which turned the tables, giving Cole vampiric powers and some voodoo hoodoo to play around with. It was dark, violent and New Marais got the New Orleans makeover that it really deserved, as the game made vampires cool again and gave the Twilight franchise an electrified middle finger. More of that please.
Infamous: Second Son zaps your PlayStation 4 on March 21.

Hey Darryn, how about doing an “All you need to know about Infamous:Second Son”? I’m new to the franchise and I’ll like a bit of info before I buy.

Hey Darryn, the IGN Video of their Infamous event from last night is in a comment below. The actual content starts 23 minutes in, but I couldn’t get it to do it right. Either way, there is a TON of info in it.

Thanks man, I’ve bookmarked it for tonight so that I can watch! Much appreciated.

You know it man, even though I have to wait half the day to talk to ya’ll, it at least gives me a sneak peek at the news while you’re all asleep 🙂
Enjoy though, it looks fantastic. Oh yeah, and when you go evil, you can _literally_ disintegrate enemies.

To add additional detail to the post you make Darryn, there’s a rather lengthy post in the ION section that I put up this morning. It’s regarding the Viral campaign that Sucker Punch has going for Infamous SS, and it actually has benefits to the game itself (if you partake in the activities).

Did any of you get a chance to watch IGN’s 1 hour live stream of Infamous yesterday? It was pretty sick, among the things they mentioned:
He wouldn’t answer whether Cole is in the game or not (I’m assuming this means yes)
Zeke plays a role in this game, I believe he said ‘His story isn’t over’ or something along those lines (He also said that Zeke’s voice is used on the voicemail system at Sucker Punch studios).
Cole McG’s electronics store is simply a shout out to Cole McGrath
He also wouldn’t answer whether you can reach Sucker Punch studios in-game (He mentioned something about being worried that they’d have lines of people at their front doors…not that it matters, pretty sure Sucker Punch Productions is on mapquest).
Also, all the NPC civilians, are scanned from actual residents of Seattle, they had a casting call basically and scanned tons of people.
There are also 5+ powers confirmed, however only Smoke and Neon have been shown thus far.

I watched this stream.. looks awesome, way more excited for my pre-order of this than I was before.

Yeah it was great, they asked a ton of questions, and you get to see allot of combat, and a great deal of the city (or at least, view it from a distance). They did a great job.

Why is he smiling? Did this guy not get the memo that no video game hero ever (unless you are in the Sims) can smile on any promotional material?
That is what’s wrong with games today. Too many smiling heroes.

aaaaaaaand once again we are talking DLC before the title has even hit the stores.

March 7, 2014 at 15:39
don’t complain, the game is already 100% complete so just gotta wait for the release date, dlc is really all sucker punch can focus on now since they can’t make any more changes to the game now that it has gone gold, besides it could be like other games where they start on dlc before the game has hit gold
Brian Murphy
March 7, 2014 at 17:49
Would you rather they work on the DLC now, or a day 1 patch? 🙂

March 7, 2014 at 21:53
dlc mostly cus if the game needs a day 1 patch then whats the point in them releasing the game if it’s not finished, ISS is finished so a day 1 patch shouldn’t be needed, i’d prefer both though so the game is less glitchy on day 1 and the dlc is upto the same standard as the main game but still, there’s no reason to complain about sucker punch talking about dlc now seeing as they can’t change anything in the game now that it’s gone gold unless they do a day 1 patch
