inFAMOUS: Second Son

[SethMode]

I hate anyone who spends more time trying to be a personality instead of doing their job, covering the video game industry.

Man, you are the worst.

Heaven forbid those covering the video game industry should be able to have fun doing so. VIDEO GAMES ARE SRS.

[JimLeavy59]

Do like anybody or anything in life?

Yeah of course I just hate most major gaming publications. To much conflict of interest. Giantbomb and Destructoid are good.

Considering the stuff in his personal life that he's shared with the public (which he TOTALLY didn't have to but opened him up to being more than just an editor's name under a by-line)...

As well as his VERY personal connection to the inFamous series...

I'd say he's more than an apt candidate for the job.

To each their own though.

I haven't watched his stuff in a while but the episodes of Up At Noon that I've seen were very entertaining. He seems to be a pretty genuine guy with a great sense of humor. And like Jay said, he didn't have to air his personal business with his health issues, especially with how ignorant and stupid people are on the internet, but he did. It was pretty fucking ballsy of him to publicly tell people about his cancer in a venue where idiots routinely wish cancer upon game reviewers and their families any time they give their favorite game an 8 instead of the obvious 10 it deserves!

inFAMOUS: Second Son’s Lasts 10-12 Hours; Destruction is Permanent

inFAMOUS: Second Son is building up to be a very interesting game, but how long will it keep you busy, especially considering that it doesn’t have multiplayer? Sucker Punch Productions Co-Founder Chris Zimmerman gave some more details during a livestream on Destructoid.

Zimmerman explained that the game will last about 10-12 hours, depending on how fast you play. If you play evil, since it’s a bit more about dashing in and destroying everything, it may last a little less. Of course this is for each playthrough, and since the story is very different depending on whether you play good or evil, you can multiply that at least by two.

In addition to this, we finally learn something about a power that isn’t neon or smoke, even if we’re told about that just because it didn’t make it into the game. Sycker Punch experimented ”steel”, did “a whole bunch of stuff,” and it was cool but it felt “been there done that,” so they decided to discard the idea.

Finally we learn more about one of the coolest elements in the game, environmental destruction: not only all black and yellow elements in the game (that belong to the DUP) are destructible, but they’re actually “perma-destructible”. If you take something down, it’ll stay down for the whole playthrough. This will influence the DUP control percentage of each district.

Same areas we've seen, but this guy knows how to play the game.

So is that 10-12 hour range strictly for the main story? Not including any side missions or collectables?

I'm finally all in on some inFamous. Listened to a nice interview with one of the co-founders of Sucker Punch on the latest "Podcast Beyond".

I'm wondering the same thing but even if it is I know I'm going to play through twice to see both endings. So I'm at least looking at around 30 hours.

Finally?!?

inFamous is the Richard Sherman of gaming franchises.
