When Infamous came out it brought a new perspective to the traditional “sandbox” game genre, but for the game's developers, Sucker Punch Productions, their was still room for improvement in the form a sequel.
Infamous 2 boasts an improved storyline, a cooler setting, and smoother gameplay than its predecessor. Cliché Manhattan-esk backdrops will no longer be prevalent in the new Infamous title. Instead, the fictional city of New Marais, where the game takes place, will have a more colorful urban environment reminiscent of New Orleans. So say goodbye to flushed out gray scenery and say hello to vibrant colors that will please the eye.
Infamous 2 will feature a storyline that shares some similarities to the original, but also has some key differences. This means that the gritty comic book sequences that everyone knew and loved in the original will be making a comeback, but the lackluster in-game cutscenes are receiving a major facelift. The storyline will also feature choices that affect the story-arc like the first one did, but the choices this time around will carry deeper consequences.
Larger more thought provoking fights will be a key aspect of this title’s gameplay, as well as more intuitive acrobatic gameplay. By using motion capture technology, Sucker Punch is now able to capture more realistic looking movement for the characters in their game.
When it comes down to overall changes, it is clear that Sucker Punch has been listening to what fans had to say about the original and acted accordingly.
