inFamous Second is by far the best title available on Sony’s current generation console, the PlayStation 4. Second Son takes the series into new directions with amazing visual effects along with solid gameplay mechanics.
Sucker Punch Productions, the developers behind the inFamous franchise are known to do things differently. Whether it be adding teasers or filling the game’s world with secrets, they have this tendency to keep player entertained. One such cool feature was discovered by a Redditor who found out that when your DualShock 4′s battery drains out, Delsin Rowe will keep running out of the danger area and hide himself behind cover.
He recounts his experience as follows: “While I was in the middle of a pretty heated fight my controller’s battery died and disconnected. Delsin kept running on the screen and I was convinced he was going to just keep running straight and cause me to leave the fighting area. But, instead he ran out of the danger area and hid behind cover. I know it’s simple, but what an amazingly convenient feature.”
This is indeed a neat feature and is a better alternative than just automatically pausing the screen. Sounds pretty cool, right?

The release of InFamous: Second Son has given PS4 hardware sales a big jump in the UK.
MCV has been told by a trusted retail source that sales of PS4 consoles jumped 106 per cent last week as exclusive title InFamous: Second Son debuted on Sony’s machine, jumping straight to No.1 in the process.
That’s a bigger jump than Xbox One enjoyed following the release of Titanfall – that saw sales of Microsoft’s machinejump 96 per cent.
InFamous today debuted at No.1 in the UKIE GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40.

Um I thought it was obvious from my last post.
Prototype has far more open ended world. Plus if u really want to feel like a super hero/villain with awesome powers then prototype is better at that too. It just lacked a memorable story and characters.
Umm.... going by the meta score, it is rated far lower for both its original and the sequel.

And this is merely ur opinion, and i know u haven't played Second Son, but it gives us a far better impression of being a Super Hero than Prototype.

P.S I am not a fan of Prototype series, neither i liked the original inFamous.

well u cant drive or pilot vehicles. u cant do super duper jumps, glide through the entire map in one go or run with the speed of a bullet either. plus u cant do hand-to-hand combat that could easily destroy an army(tanks, gunship included). yes u can do rare karmic bombs, do a quick neon dash, turn into smoke and transverse the environment through vents etc but all this costs resource therefore are limited actions. hence to my original point once again :)

i never liked prototype 1 or infamous either but imo prototype does many things better. of course this statement does not include SS but its limitations are FACTS and don't need a playthrough to justify.

Well prototype definitely gives you the feel of being a truly powerful super hero/villain. The super duper amount of carnage you can mount up is so satisfying.

Infamous is just more of a complete package which makes it better at the end of the day.

He can surf/fly on smoke and become a streak on light with neon..(other powers not mentioned for spoilers) :p..
my vitz doesnt do that stuff..
No, I mean the point is that previously Cole's powers were so that he fried up cars. That's how they got around without having a driving mechanism in place.

What's their excuse now?

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
