inFAMOUS: Second Son announced for PlayStation 4

[Blacksite]

Delsin Rowe is the star of Second Son, and you probably know someone like him: A 24 year-old who is absolutely convinced he’s destined for greatness; though so far that greatness has managed to elude him. He grew up just outside Seattle, where his great – if accidental – calling comes crashing into his life. After rescuing occupants from a fiery bus wreck, he discovers that he suddenly has the ability to direct, manipulate and even transform into… Smoke. Could he have absorbed this power from one of the passengers he pulled from the wreckage?

Setting the scene: It’s been seven years since the Cole McGrath episodes and the world has clearly changed. Anyone showing signs of being a so-called “bio-terrorist” is immediately handed over to the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) — a government agency created to ensure there is never a repeat of the catastrophic events of Empire City and New Marais. So Delsin, who has never been particularly respectful of authority, finds himself caught in the DUP dragnet – And decides he’s not going to go quietly.

Along the way, Delsin is going to ask questions that are not just relevant to the world of Second Son – but to the world we all live in today. A world where we are often instructed to surrender our freedoms to help improve our security. Ben Franklin once wrote “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Is he right?

As you play Second Son, you’ll explore lots of Seattle’s familiar landmarks. As with all games in this series, the path the gameplay and story take will depend on the decisions you make along the way. Of course, we are creating all these characters and locations at a remarkable level of detail – made possible by PS4. In fact, this trailer was produced in-house using our game engine – can you tell we’re having fun with the new GPU, tools, and our new VFX system?

[manutdfan]

Yep def day one for me.

[YoungMullah88]

particle effects am cry! seriously tho this was one of my favorite trailers

[Two4DaMoney]

I can't wait to hear more details. Infamous was my favorite new i.p. this gen. I heard everything that I needed at this presentation. All the OS features are just bonuses to me.

[Cyn]

Wasn't gameplay but wow it was amazing. I was really confused as to what it was at first.

[ps3freak18]

I have no doubts in Sucker Punch. This will be a quality title.

[Two4DaMoney]

edit: scrap that.

Second son...hmm another group. I'll come back to that later. my head is pounding like a party is being thrown up there.

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Hmmm,Second Son...Cole's son? Cole's brother??? So badass.

[daLa]

Game looked amazing!

[F34R]

I'm already having to start my list of things to save for. Goodness. This was awesome.

[ps3freak18]

I'm betting it's cole's brother. I wonder if he is as big of a dick as Cole.

Edit: Holy hell! F34R where ya been?!

[mooninites]

This game looks awesome!

Looks like I'll be spending a fortune next gen on games alone again.

It took a PS4 announcement to bring you back, Lol. Good to see you posting again.

I get the feeling that this is set in a completely different universe. The endings of Infamous 2 is the reason why.

[Ariakace]

definately picking this up. Looks sweet! loved the first Infamous. have yet to play Infamous 2 but ill be picking it up pretty soon

[Two4DaMoney]

So what’s new? I mean, what have you been up to? Cool. Us? Not much. Just a new character, new city, new powers, and all designed especially for the new PlayStation 4. I hope you’re excited – because we really are! Actually, for us it’s probably one part excitement and one part pure terror, but that’s just the way of things I guess… But here we are at last to break the months of silence: All of us at Sucker Punch are very pleased to introduce you to Delsin Rowe, and our new title Second Son! Let’s cut to the chase!

Interesting but i need gameplay videos.

[Shibby]

Yeah would have liked to see some gameplay, but I'll take what i can get haha.

[ps3freak18]

You can't expect everyone to bring out gameplay. Nice teaser will suffice for me though.

[Ixion]

The best part of this trailer was Dead Sara!

[Syphon_Filter]

Good that we will get a new Infamous.

[Bio]

Looks good. I wonder if Cole will pop up somewhere.

Asian? He doesn't look Asian.

Slightly, but I think it's unintentional from lack of animations. He's probably just your typical white dude.
