Sucker Punch unveils inFamous 2′s player creation suite

lol at Sly 4 being put to the coffin. Hopefully its another IP!!

Come on VG247. The announcement of an announcement is not news. Especially if it takes a few hours to be announced.

Please DON’T be MULTIPLAYER!!!!

They’re coming out of the closet?

I wouldn’t mind split screen &/or online co-op, not sure how multiplayer would work, but co-op sure could.

Why would they have been holding MP for IF2 a secret for “2 years”? The sheer fact he mentions “2 years” makes me think its company related, not game related.

@6
Maybe sony going to buy sucker punch?

In that case I assume that Sony have acquired them & it’s just been finalized, possibly a new IP but this seems like the wrong place to announce one.

maybe its a new game for NGP?? Possibly infamous for NGP or another new title? Maybe.

It would be awesome if Sony bought Sucker Punch, that would be another string to the bow really.

Hey does anyone know when EA’s offsite conference is? I want to see me some Kingdoms of Amaulr

Yeah, a new game announcement would be great!
And yeah, some type of co-op could be fun.

It’s tonight, PST. Everthing’s embargoed, though, aside from Crysis 2.

I think they will announce something for multiplayer component.

“We’ve been holding a big secret for the last two years”

Despite whatever stupor that people might have become enwrapped within, I strongly doubt that SP’s acquisition by Sony could have been kept that well under wraps. What’s more likely is that they’re working on continuing/rebooting a key Sony franchise. My guess: Heavenly Sword.

In this day and age? The BIG SECRET will probably end up being some exlcusive DLC bullshit for Infamous 2.

Whoopdeefuckindoo.

Maybe they’re reviving an old Sony IP?
Maybe Jak?
I know ND made it, but they’ve moved onto new things now.

It seems to be inFamous 2 related, apparently, going by Twitter chatter. Pretty swish as well, supposedly.

^ Probably is MP then…

ALL IN. I’m pretty sure I know what this is.

As i said, it’s multiplayer. They talked about this before.

I can’t wait for this game. It is gameplay, graphically, story wise impressive. Very impressive.

first game was good with it’s flaws, second is going to be ridiculously epic.

@Pat, So tonight its only Crysis 2? I thought it was most of EA’s games except B3 which will be shown tommorow.

@22 – They’re all being shown tonight, but all the content’s embargoed. Crysis 2 is the only game with no embargo on it.

So what is it then, Pat? Is it something interesting atleast?

@22 – No, The slate that we mentioned in the GDC preview makes up the event, but information on them is embargoed – or to put it an easier way, held back – until a pre-determined date by EA.

There’s no embargo on the Crysis 2 stuff, so we can report on that whenever we want. But the Battlefield 3 stuff is embargoed until tomorrow afternoon at 2pm GMT (9am EST).

Get my drift?

When?

@25 Thanks I didnt want to think it was true but it sucks that it is.

Hopefully its soon since PAX is showing all the game demos off anyways.

Sorry for double post but why is Battlefield 3 being shown at the crack of dawn in California? God your Journalists must be happy that they got to wake up before sun rise.

The big news is…..it’s also coming to Xbox 360 now? MS made an arrangement with SP…etc? Nah…that’s not gonna happen.

Not gonna get my hopes up though, these days big anouncements end up in people saying ‘ok…..’ or ‘meh…’

@29 Off the top of my head I don’t believe Sucker Punch own the IP, although a new multi-format game isn’t out of the question; they’re on good terms with Sony but they’re an independent studio, much like Insomniac. (At least at the time of writing.)

“Two years” would suggest the announcement of either a new game that’s well into production or company news that’s finally come to fruition. A feature announcement doesn’t really fit the wording. In fact it could feasibly not be an announcement at all: a post-mortem of a cancelled, unannounced game would qualify as a secret.

^ Nope, Sony own the IP.

multiplayer… thats my guess.

EA and Sucker Punch game. I called it.

@ 31

Really? Cause recently i read something about Sucker Punch not belonging to anyone, and that it was kinda strange that Sony hadn’t bought them yet. And maybe that they would if inFamous 2 would be a huge success.

Sorry my bad….you said IP, not that they own Sucker Punch themselves.

@34 Sony can own the actual license and publishing rights for a game without owning the developer,which is the case with infamous.

You need all to shut your asses…

Because if you knew SP, you would stop saying shit like that.

It is an independent company but they are currently engaged in a multi-year, multi-title partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment America developing games for the PlayStation family of platforms.

The reason why they are independent it’s because if Playstation will die they can go somewhere else and not loosing some job.

and don’t try to compare Insomniac. They have absolutely different partnership.

Alternative “Cole with hair” costume

InFamous NGP?
How long has Sony been talking to developers about NGP? nearly 2 years?

Multiplayer in InFamous could be pretty cool though

The only answer I want at this moment is: WHEN will we know what the secret is?!

according to psm3 magazine’s twitter, its infamous 2 related and involves a new “mode”

@37 Did someone wake up in the wrong side of the bed? We are just guessing, some for fun and some for real. All we are doing is guessing with a little inference.

‘Innovative-ish’ doesn’t inspire confidence.

It’s got to be multiplayer. Too many hints towards it.

I remember Naughty Dog saying something akin to ‘a secret for 2 years’ when they announced U2s MP.

if everything is embargoed why tell us that they are announcing something we won’t be able to know about? THAT IS COMPLETELY RETARDED DON’T YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE DAY AFTER THE VGAS HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?…………..NO

@3
Bless you and I really REALLY hope it’s indeed not a multiplayer game.

inFamous really doesn’t need MP.

It’s coop

Its best to expect the worst and then you can be genuinely happy if the news is good.
COOP\Multiplayer is welcome as long as it doesn’t take away from the single player experience.

@44 I know right? Its fucking sick. Same with Theif 4, they will not show us the Audio cemony they are doing….fucking horrid.

@47 Your right, I think thats whats up. I really dont think there is going to be a new IP now nor MP

Ahah I would laugh If the secret is that this is going multi-plat
