r/infamous

So, with all the rumors about a brand new infamous game, what would you guys prefer to see?

Would you want to see a continuation of a known character like Delsin, Fetch, Nix, or someone else we know.

Or would you want a brand new main character?

Personally, I want another game with Delsin. I can understand that would mean one ending from Infamous Second Son would become canon, but I just loved that game and Delsin.

Infamous Second Son was revolutionary for me as a kid.

I was too young to play Infamous 1 & 2. As a kid, I only had a PS2 for crash bandicoot, nicktoons unite, and a few other kid friendly games. I never got a PS3 as I moved to Nintendo to play the Legend of Zelda series on the wii.

For my 13th birthday, I got my mom to pre-order a PS4 so I could play Destiny. So it was perfect timing when Infamous Second Son came out less than half a year later.

For a kid who played mostly Nintendo for years, this game changed everything for me. The open world was bigger than anything I'd played before, with no place inaccessible within the map boundaries. It was my first game with parkour, game-changing choices, and superhero elements.

This game was like nothing I'd ever played before and now has a place in my heart as an all-time favorite. So, of course, if they made a new game, I'd want it to have Delsin as the main character again.

Will I be surprised if they decided to have the new game focus on a completely different character? No.

Would it bum me out? Yes.

Would that stop me from playing it? Absolutely not.

What are your thoughts, preferences, and hopes for a new infamous game?

Go vote yes! Make your voices heard.

Yeah, I'm replaying second son currently and while Fetch's story I don't really have complaints about, Eugene's is just... Eugh.

He has a very generic story and I can't help but think Delsin is uncharacteristically a complete dick to him in the most generic stereotypical way possible. The whole "super cool alpha male type gets the nerd out of his shell to get more social and get some tail" was a dead horse trope by Y2K, let alone 2014. And Second Son doesn't really add anything or have a good spin on this take either.

I don't even really get where Delsin is coming from with this. He basically just tells Eugene that he's wrong about how he lives and to do what Delsin says. Granted while it eventually works out I can't help but feel Delsin is almost out of character here, being an outcast himself and an Akomish living on what's presumably Tribal land that doesn't really seem to have a job and acts relatively immature (something Reggie brings up more than a few times, so I doubt everyone in the tribe was acting as carefree as Delsin, it seems to be a Delsin thing and not an Akomish thing), he doesn't really have room to talk on that matter.

He doesn't even really bother to even try understanding Eugene. He definitely wasn't the same way with Fetch, and the way he acts with his brother seems more of a rebel against authority and family dynamic type of thing. I dunno. I just can't shake the idea that pretty much everything to do with Eugene is really half-baked and would need addressed for any potential sequel that takes place after Second Son (fan works or otherwise) because it really doesn't sit that well with me seeing it again.
