Perhaps unsurprisingly, Sony has stated that it reckons super powered sequel InFAMOUS: Second Son will be the most successful entry into Sucker Punch's series. Speaking with MCV, SCE UK product manager Josh Walker said that the company is "excited by the level of pre-orders which are exceeding that of The Last of Us at this point in the run up to its launch."
Indeed, despite Naughty Dog's grim apocalyptic tale's popularity, it's looking like Delsin's romp through Seattle is outpacing the PlayStation 3 title when it comes to pre-orders in the same time frame. Walker goes on to say that "We can already see it benefiting from the goodwill and of buzz surrounding the PlayStation 4 and expect Second Son to be the biggest game in the Infamous series to date.” We think that he'll probably be proven right on that point, as the release certainly seems to be keeping the hype train rolling on the way to its March 21st launch date. Do you have high hopes for the next-gen title? Light up the comments section with neon trails below.

Good to hear, I wonder what percentage of PS4 owners will buy this game. I know I'll be adding to it with my collector's edition.
@Jaz007
Nathan Drake plays Infamous
@Jaz007 I would be surprised if it wasn't a very large percentage. This is what the PlayStation is all about.
due to my financial situation i may not get the game for a few weeks but when i get it, i will be on it for ages. forget work. time off to play games should be legal around the world
@Jaz007 : I am so getting the game, i loved the first two games and can't wait to get my hands on this one.
Me too, i am adding it to my collection as well.
Not surprised. All the Collector's Editions are sold out!
@Jaz007 probably even more than have purchased kz sf which is a 50% + attachment rate apparently, it probably means 3 million plus in the next 6 months?
I hope this be good
This will be my first ps4 retail game for sure
If all goes well I should get the PS4 bundle I ordered on the 21st. I'm guessing many are like me
No multiplayer? I'll not be buying it but I hope its awesome for you guys.

I believe it will sell well because of people like me who aren't big fans of the series but with a lack of PS4 titles will still buy. I find the series to be one of the most bland boring open world experiences and I know I can't be alone with that opinion. To be Frank (I'm Steve btw) the games suck! I did find the game quite a bit of fun at times but to me it felt like a Crackdown Clone.. Boring... I hope Second Son is awesome with all that negative crap said, and I'm sure at least Seattle will look beautiful and that's enough for me to want to explore.
@Madd_Hatter401 haven't played the previous titles, all I can say is this looks pretty awesome. Its probably gonna turd on titanfall due to ps4 sales too. Obviously not taking into account 360 or PC.
@Madd_Hatter401
Couldn't disagree with you more about inFamous sucking, but of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, so it's whatever on that, really no need to put that 'disclaimer' at the beginning of your post. If someone doesn't like what you post, tough, there are some who need to learn to deal with the fact that not everybody loves any and everything PlayStation related. And you are right, given that there isn't much to play on PS4 there are people who probably aren't really interested in the game but are looking for anything to play on their new console so Second Son could benefit from that.
@Madd_Hatter401 Steve I can see your point and only a few months ago I didn't think much of this game as I actually never been interested in the series. But the more I learned about it the more interested I got and I acrually ordered my PS4 bundle earlier than I planned because of it. I hope I won't be called a 'fanboy' because I always try to see the bright side and be hoptimistic. Got disapointed in games I thought would be great and also got good surprised. I think this one will be fun. Wait and see
I'm honestly not surprised, the inFAMOUS series is why I originally wanted a PS3 back in 2011.
The infamous series actually requires skills and precise aiming at times.So it does no surprise me that some people wouldn't enjoy it.
I do hate the filler missions thst repeat themselves to stretch out the gameplay hours, but it seems to be remedied in this 3rd game.
Mad Hatter should only buy one game from each genre, so he wont be reminded of other similar style games it could cure his jaded soul.
This would have been my first game if it was available at launch! !! Nuf said! =)

@KAPADO this is a game that requires skill? I don't remember a moment where a lack of skill was the reason for my dislike of Infamous.. I beat Infamous, and wasn't impressed. Infamous 2 I got for free with PS+ and barely touched it out of boredom, not at all because I wasn't skilled enough to play it lol. Typical, I don't like what you do so that makes me a jaded unskilled gamer..
I'm hoping the best for this title because I really want to enjoy it.
@Madd_Hatter401 Guy... You're a Muppet.
This is like you had been raped twice before by two similar looking electricians.
And now you are willing to get raped again only because this electrician is prettier?
At this point you must be traveling with your own tube of Vaseline. You're just asking for it.
@KAPADO whatever "guy" I'm not gonna argue with ya bone thugs and harmony looking ass. Relevancy is a non issue when it comes to what you have to say about me, and because I enjoy this site i will continue to see you as irrelevant and hold my tounge.
@KAPADO That's enough rape, thank you!
