Playstation inFAMOUS: Second Son |OT| Welcome to Next Gen, Son

[Journeys End]

Honestly, Titanfall didn't really live up to the massive hype that it had going for it either. It actually fell far short of the lofty standards set by its legendary predecessor.

On the other hand, the kind of scores Infamous is getting is in line with previous games in the series.

For all its shortcomings, Second Son still looks and plays like a next gen game. I can only say the same for one of those things about Titanfall.

thats becoz COD4 was the first to do a LOT of things...titanfall builds on that while adding a ton. its easily FAR better than any annual shit COD franchise spouts but its still inspired by the original so obviously it will never topple that(at least not on META )

as for my comparasion, u guys should really tone down the defensive stance and think logically here. both next-gen consoles i.e Xbox ONE and PS4 have their killer titles for this year. MS's put all its faith(and money) in Titanfall and its more than obviously what Sony is(was) betting on. in THAT spirit of pure competition i was expecting Sony's side to give then a hard time like they usually do. anything good that comes out of MS is due to the pressure put on them by Sony. if SS cant do that then its not good for the consumer(both sides). get it?

Titanfall loses its charm as fast as it charms you. The bigger maps accommodating only 6 players + tons of bots is a deal breaker.

well that not what reviewers and all other players on PG think...but ur entitled to YOUR opinion

P.S: before u guys become all angry at this post, keep in mind that i was(am) vouching for this game. imo its the best time for any cautious buyer to take the jump to the blue side.

You're kind of proving my point for me. Titanfall didn't turn out to be the gamechanger it was touted to be. The conclusion that it could never surpass the first Modern Warfare is untrue as well. West and Zampella have done so in the past i.e MOHAA<COD4. Maybe if both of them had stuck around till the end of development, they might have come up with something truly unique.

Well if we're going to be thinking logically, this comparison should never have been made in the first place. Titanfall's main competition isn't in March, it's in November. They're never going to dethrone king COD unless they go multiplatform (taking exclusivity out of the picture) which seems quite likely at this point. There's already a substantial amount of pressure on Microsoft without infamous having to do anything.

[MENTION=4374]Journeys End[/MENTION]: There is a difference between MS securing an exclusive versus Sony releasing one from their own studio. More importantly, just like you said, TitanFall is also on PC, which entirely defeats the point of getting an Xbox One for it, since many will just get it on PC for cheap. So far, we haven't gotten one truly exclusive worthy title yet for Xbox One but inFamous: Second Son is the only one, which hasn't been released on any other system, and it made me jump ship and get a PS4 right now.

Looking forward, the line-up sure looks barren for both of them in term of games but at least for PS4, i got games like FF XIV in April, along with the PS+ releases each month. That's the reason i got PS4 right now along with inFamous and Killzone .

P.S: Will get an Xbox One for sure, once its exclusive title is actually released. As far as i am concerned, there is none right now, except for maybe, Dead Rising 3.

dude how many causal gamers would be willing to shell $$$ on upgrading their PCs for TF? for those majority who are looking to buy a next-gen console this year, titanfall puts forward a more tasty deal. also i think u haven't been keeping tabs on the news but titanfall is said to be boosting sales of Xbox One.
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f4/titanfall-2-rights-secured-electronic-194924/
so yeah if we are talking abt console exclusivity then titanfall is on xbox one and not on PS4 period! this can play a vital role on consumer decision

but of course there are people like u too so this discussion is pretty subjective

If you want to talk about sales boost for the Xbox One, that time hasn't come yet .

Lets wait for NPD results for the month of March, which will be released on 14th April

And dude, TitanFall boosted Xbox One sales in UK by 96% but PS4 also faced a boost by 74 percent, why? So it is kinda meaningless to make this comparison now. That's why i am saying to wait for the actual figures before calling TitanFall a system seller, consequently, inFamous might also end up as one, who knows?

Lastly, TitanFall is actually decently optimized. Me and CT both have a haswell processors but no GPU yet and TitanFall ran neatly on our system. Of course, graphics might not have been set on the max but it is playable, and my point is that most casuals with an i5/i7 and dedicated GPUs will be able to play it easily. So it is not like it is highly demanding game

EA thinks that titanfall is selling good enough to warrant a sequel. does that mean nothing to you?

anyway titanfall is developed with 60FPS gameplay in mind. unless ur integrated GPUs can run it on that level of performance, its better u guys dont play it at all(seriously it will be a slaughter). put this fact and a decent res like 900p with high(if not ultra) preset and BAM, u have a considerably demanding game on PC. its not BF4/crysis3 level of demanding but still u cant expect acceptable experience on those 8k-10k GPUs. anyway this last paragraph has deviated way off topic but ur welcome to continue this in detail here,
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f4/titanfall-|ot|-standby-titanfall-194016-new/

and once again to clear any hard feelings, i LIKE this game and would advise any PS fan to buy PS4 and play this game ASAP!

yup no point of comparing mid core game with a blockbuster.

inFAMOUS: Second Son Successfully Debuts at the Top of Amazon Best Sellers in US, UK and France

While some critics seem to think that inFAMOUS: Second Son isn’t innovative enough to be a truly great game, gamers in quite a few areas of the world don’t seem to care all that much, and are buying the newly released PS4 exclusive en masse.
Sucker Punch’s latest labor of love, to which our very own Tony gave a 9.5 out of 10, jumped to the top of the charts of Amazon in the US, in the UK and in France on its launch day, as you can see from the screencaps below.
If the triplet wasn’t enough, the game is currently in second place in Germany (where Diablo III‘s upcoming expansion is at the top), in Italy it occupies both second and third place with the standard and special editions, and in Spain it’s second as well behind Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Only Canada seems to be a little cooler, with inFAMOUS: Second Son in 4th place.
That’s definitely a good sign for the game, and an indication that PS4 players have been waiting for a truly next-gen experience for quite a while, and now that one is on the shelves, they’re eating it up like the sweetest candy.
One thing is for sure, it’ll be interesting to hear more precise sales data for inFAMOUS: Second Son directly from Sony, and from what we can see, they may come out boasting about them sooner rather than later.

Where is TitanFall :tv:

Habibi haya hay, HABIBI HAYA HAYA !

ain't even got a ps4 and i'm already HAPPY

 

[TrueCoolGuy]

yup no point of comparing mid core game with a blockbuster.

But SS has way better graphics than TF. Shouldn't you be fawning over SS?

 

[faraany3k]

Oh wow game performed way bettwer then I initially though. I was thinking mid 70s at best. I guess Playstation publications and graphics saved the day.
[MENTION=218]CerebralTiger[/MENTION] Congrats for the great OT man.

COD was a much bigger package with huge Activision funding. Titanfall was a small developer with less then 100 guys working, took over by EA and then MS at the very end.

Infamous is made by a know developer with tons of expereince and first party support. Anyone trying to make it look like a next GTA ,was living in the dreamland considering at the pedigree and talent of Sucker Punch. I believe there games sell in the range of 2-3 million max with mediocre meta.

all that bling doesn't come without sacrifices. water effects are static in this game and don't react to player interaction. if we go in detail then i m sure titanfall is employing far more advanced tech.

but that said, SS looks better in places. kinda reminds me of UC2 visual advantage.
