inFAMOUS: Second Son Announcement Trailer February 22, 2013
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
To me, this was my favorite game announcement of the night. Nate Fox of Sucker Punch did a fantastic introduction to this game, and up until the moment the game’s name appeared on the screen, the audience had no idea what we were seeing.
I was expecting that if Sony was planning to show games at their PS4 event, their best bet was to reveal entirely new game installments from some of their core franchises. My expectation was that they could really show just how much of an improvement this new hardware was over the previous generation, because gamers would have previous games to compare it to. On Wednesday night, they only showed two new games from their core franchises, and this is one of them.
inFAMOUS: Second Son is exclusive to the Playstation 4.
