The presentation of the story in Infamous is very minimalist, with the majority of the dialogue being radio chatter and the primary exposition coming in the form of comic book style cutscenes narrated by Cole.
Despite being at the center of the explosion, Cole survived and gained the ability to wield a variety of electricity based powers. Infamous tells the story of Cole McGrath, a bike messenger that gains superpowers after delivering a package that explodes in his hands, killing thousands and creating a deadly plague. You can watch the video version of this showdown here or continue down for the written version I could just say both games are outstanding and leave it there, but where’s the fun in that? Let’s examine every aspect and see which game will hopefully be dethroned as the best Infamous game next week when Second Son is released. Infamous and Infamous 2 weren’t the most significant PS3 exclusives, with things like the God of War and Uncharted series being the real heavy hitters, but they were two of the most enjoyable open world games available on any console. Not only is it shaping up to be the first real big Playstation 4 exclusive, a game that captures that undefinable “next gen” quality, but it’s the next installment in one of the best franchises from last generation. Infamous: Second Son is just about ready to hit store shelves, and we couldn’t be more excited.
