inFamous 2 Story Trailer May 15, 2011

Now that the Playstation Network is coming back online I thought I’d cover next month’s PS3 exclusive release inFamous 2.

The story of inFamous is inspired by the classic super hero staples.  A realistic hero getting powers out of sheer coincidence and how the world around him treats him as a terrorist or as a savior.  You have an entire city to roam around in.  You can choose to do good deeds and become the city’s hero or selfish deeds and make the citzens hate you.

In this new game, you’re entering a whole new city in search of a way to enhance your powers in order to defeat this super powerful foe hinted upon at the end of the first game.  Here, take a look for yourself.

I got in on the game’s User Generated Content beta, but due to the network being down, was unable to shoot anything from it and post it online.  The toolset looks really in depth for modders to just have a blast with, enabling you to create missions, download new missions, and alter downloadable missions all you want.  Here’s a quick runthrough of that.

I have seen a more in-depth video about the feature online, but unfortunatly Sony hasn’t yet posted it to their YouTube Channel.  If I can find a YouTube embed of it, I’ll make sure to link that.

This feature is what the current beta is testing.  The beta started around a day before the PSN went down, and I have no idea if they extended the time for the beta, but rest assured if I can get the beta running, I’ll capture some footage of it.

inFamous 2 is coming June 7th, 2011 exclusive to the Playstation 3.
