Unfortunately, none of this rings true and operating under that assumption continually stunts growth that the narrative desperately needs. Herein lies the problem , creative expectation. This jarring juxtaposition remains a constant that inFAMOUS still hasn’t moved past. They believe their story is concrete, their characters are interesting, and that they are building upon a rich lore that captivates its audience with evolution and depth. As the main character, Cole MacGrath sufficed, but his companion Zeke was insufferable and as a result, counterproductive to what you’re expected to feel. Let’s face it: this universe’s personas were always a challenge to invest in. Visuals do not make a game yet, in this instance, advancements in facial capturing technology elevated my previous interest in the characters from tepid at best to lukewarm acceptance. It’s a shame Sucker Punch didn’t give her more to do because Augustine holds a lot of potential. I doubt the character would have come across as well without the facial animation at work Augustine does her best to give you a villain worth hating long enough to enjoy. With every new power gained came a showcase of oohs & ahhs and I was continually impressed with what was showcased on screen.īenefiting greatly from this technology is the catalyst for much of what transpires, Augustine, and with every subtle smirk, the leader of the occupying DUP forces grew on me and in many ways, steals the show. From the open world of Seattle - a departure from the franchise’s previous imaginary cities of New Marais and Empire City - to the best use of facial capturing I’ve seen yet, Second Son wows from the onset. The visual splendour and performance Sucker Punch has delivered is simply amazing. It’s right around this point where I picked my jaw up off the floor. As far as main characters go, I found Delsin a more attractive avatar for the moral conundrums, destruction-dealing, and encounters within Second Son, but as for actually caring about the character, that commodity’s still a bit of a stretch. For those uninitiated in the ways of this world, conduits are basically mutants - shunned, feared, discriminated against, and ultimately what lay the foundation for the pair’s arrival in Seattle. Brash, arrogant, even welcoming of his powers, he is a direct contrast to the reluctant conduit Cole was cast as - arguably for the better.

Following a quick series of coincidences, Delsin realizes his conduit destiny and accepts his fate almost too quickly, perhaps even relishes it, much to his brother’s dismay.ĭelsin is everything Cole was not. For fans who connected with previous main man, Cole, they may not get him, either.

His brother Reggie is the new sheriff ’round these parts and, like the ever-protective big brother, he just doesn’t understand Delsin. Spray-painting, beanie-wearing Delsin Rowe, a rebellious member of the fictitious Okomish Indian tribe, is who the story now focuses on.

Following the mixed success of the first two offerings, has developer Sucker Punch’s “I think I can” exclusive pushed into the realm of must have or is it just more of the middle road that you already know? With all the right blocks in the wrong order, inFAMOUS so far has been a pretender to what it truly strives to be more like, than a love, always promising more than what is given. Shortly after the initial next-gen announcement dust settled, Second Son quickly became the forerunner in the “This is the game that will justify your purchase” conversation for PlayStation 4 early adopters.
