Cole himself feels tougher, with his detailed tattoos and facial animations, and the enemies have seen their own evolution. The improved visuals aren't restricted to the environments of course, and the characters have also received a revamp. The city is filled with the beautiful aesthetics of the American south, where poor slums are mixed with fashionable theatres and swamp areas with the colored lamps hanging from large villas. Sucker Punch clearly listened to that criticism, and the different districts are all a pleasure to explore. New Marais is beautiful in all its variation, and the criticism against the first game's rather bleak environments is put to shame here. In the original it mostly focused on Cole developing his powers and finding his place as a superhero, in Infamous 2 Cole's role is already established which allows for the focus to shift to what happens around him. The story is bigger and more complex this time around. They quickly catch wind of Cole and his powers, of course. It's not only plagued by a mysterious disease, floods and a special kind of supermonsters - the law has fallen into the hands of a fascist and fanatic militia, that captures and tortures anyone that is different. New Marais isn't a vacation paradise, it's actually quite the opposite. The only problem is that the machine works by using Blast Cores, remnants of the same kind of Ray Sphere explosion that gave Cole his powers to begin with. Here a scientist called Wolfe has invented a machine that can strip The Beast of its powers, and at the same time give Cole's electric superpowers a well needed boost. In order to defeat this terrible monstrosity, Cole has to leave Empire City and take a trip to the south and the city of New Marais, Sucker Punch's fictional version of New Orleans. We’ll be showing nicely created combat scenarios, a very cleverly told story mission, and a lyrical reference to an arcade game gone by.We meet Cole right where we left him and after saving the day in the last game he gets a vision of a terrible monster, The Beast, that will destroy everything in its path - including our hero's home town, Empire City. I got the chance to play through these missions over the weekend, and the exciting thing for me was the diversity of gameplay being built by the QA staff helping us get ready for our inFAMOUS 2 Limited Beta (on Tuesday!!!).
INFAMOUS 2 MONSTERS HOW TO
But in this mission, we find out that someone has figured out how to somehow force ordinary people to become conduits… An interesting development in the narrative of inFAMOUS 2!įinally, we’ll show a handful of missions created in our User-Generated Content tools. If you’ve been following along closely, you know that Conduits are people who are candidates to become super powered. Second, we’ll show a mission called Forced Conduits. We showed an early version of him at our very first greenlight meetings back in December 2009.
If you remember way way back to our E3 demos last year, we hinted at the existence of this monster…Well, here’s your chance to see him! As far as inFAMOUS 2 goes, he’s one of the most important enemies we’ve built. South of the Mariners stadium, we’ll be hosting an evening event showcasing three inFAMOUS 2 highlights:įirst, a battle with the monster we call The Behemoth.
We’ll turn the visitors loose on the bustling metropolis that is Bellevue, Washington and start prepping for our afternoon show. We will hold out some hope for good weather so we can do some interviews and photos out on the deck. In the morning we’ll be hosting all the international press members on a tour of our studios in Bellevue. So here’s my Virtual Media Day for you guys, a blow-by-blow breakdown of what we’re showing. So you can think of this as our once-every-two-years chance to spruce up the place, and put on a little bit of a show. All of this is being done in preparation for the 60+ media members who will be flying up to Seattle on Monday for our “Media Day” event for inFAMOUS 2. Today we’re hanging art, arranging some furniture, and (shudder) cleaning up our offices. Have you ever put on a wedding or a huge party? A bunch of us are in working this weekend, but it’s not just the normal bug fixing, polishing, and optimizing.
