I want Cole

but smoke powers are p. cool

 

I'll say the opposite of this. Cole was very generic and quite possibly the most boring part of inFamous, however his lightning powers were amazingly cool. Smoke just sounds lame to me, but we'll see. I was hoping for a launch title Sucker Punch game, but I was kinda hoping that they would have ended the inFamous series with 2, the endings were perfect.

Sucker Punch is a great studio though, so I'll give them the benefit of doubt with this one.

Also, does this mean that the good ending to inFamous 2 is canon?

 

I will surely miss Cole ; ;
However, this game looks pretty good!
It will be interesting to see how this plays out story wise.
Delsin Rowe...quite unique.

 

i wanna see how sucker punch gonna make a karma game about smoke.

 

So effectively, it's the male, Nix's game.

I would've preferred to have Cole and Zeke back, oh well. I at least hope the powers will develop more than just some fire and smoke attacks, lightning at least had a lot of application in the environment, smoke.... has some good ones but not quite as powerful or relevant in my mind as electrical currents.

 

In the Game 2, the good ending was obviously cannon, but at the second is complicated.. as the "good"(stupid) ending makes cole kills himself and billions of conduits making a huge carnage... the "bad" (resonable) one makes Cole sacrifice the humans to save all conduits...
If the good ending is cannon than there should be no new conduit as everybody with the gene died (but if it is possible to have super heroes in that world, maybe is possible to remake the physics of superhero even whithout the conduit gene) , if the bad ending is cannon most people (if not all) should have super powers by now... so will have to wait.

I like cole and his powers, but I don't think they should be reviving characters everytime they felt like it , just like comics do... so I am happy to be back to INfamous world, and that they respected that Cole's story ended...



Ps.: By the way.. if cole was able to go back in time in INfamous 1 , why didn't he killed the BEAST by himself and prefered to screw up the life of the other Cole?

 

I'm figuring that it killed everyone with the conduit gene, but people can still be born with it.
Though they do mention someone GIVING this protagonist his powers, so I dunno

This character will be generic as well, unless they axe the moral choice system.
It wasn't so much Cole as a person, but rather his abilities and the world around him that I enjoyed. I want to see that continued, not some other story.
And aren't the good endings always canon?

 

If everybody with the conduit gene has died chances are that this gene would never reapper if you have the gene for blood type O , for instance, it didn't appear in your linage gene B or A, as this genes apeared before humans come to be, if you looked only by this gene henrence you would be more related to a Blood type O monkey , than to a AB type human (as genes slipt randomly without conection with one or another , the mendelian one's at least).. so If a gene is whiped out the existence the chance that it is born again is veeeeery unlikely, and since all genes coalescence in one original gene we could make a tree of genes that would be separeted from the "life tree".

There could be however another explanation, like "proto-oncogenes" they are genes that in their native form do normal things or nothing, but with the right stimulus it can become a cancer gene... so we could say that the "conduit gene" is a inative gene, that with the right stimulus it mutates into its active form that gives the user powers... that would fit the game's plot , as people with conduit genes still need some kind of radiation (that bomb that sucks lifes of normal people and gives boost to conduits), but that's very unlikely to be the case , as in the end of game 2 (good side) people that had the gene, but didn't awaken their abilites still died, and the First son's and the FBI knew how to find the "Conduit gene" in people without powers, so the conduit gene is most likely always activeted but it needs an epigenetic activation to provide it's host with powers.


I think is more probable this scenario: Even whithout the conduit gene, there were studies in conduit people, so some one knows the science of it and probably kept samples of the conduit gene and it's proteins.. if the main character of this game was exposed with the conduit protein or the gene (DNA vaccine) it would be possible to recreate conduit subjects... even if whithout the gene it is possible to mimic it's chemical reaction in someone.

 

Too much seriousness! : p

Though if people remember the good ending two, I believe that they hinted Cole wasn't gone for good. And it may be the ray sphere tech or other stuff has been used to give people powers.
We'll find out more in the game or upcoming coming revealing information.

 

To me the Infamous series is one of the best of all time and I have always had huge respect for the developers at Sucker Punch. Can't wait to see how they utilize their new abilities within the PS4!

 

One of my favourite features is the option of two paths.. there are some games that do this, but a lot of games that would be better with this choice lacks of it (dante's inferno, Sleeping dogs from the top of my mind).
Another great game with this feature is Spider Man Web of Shadows, a shame that it doesn't have trophy support.

sounds sweet. And it's kinda neat that they're using a native american as the protagonist

 

Delsin has an interesting look about him. Awesome character design.
And making him Native American is a nice feature. It's something different than the typical.
Really like it.

Thanks a bunch for the update, libregkd.

 

Sounds like he'll be pretty much the exact same as Cole with his attacks just looking a bit different. As long as it has something similiar to the ice jump, I'm all for it.
