I've never seen a game website be more hostile to how people feel about a game's shortcomings than Push Square with Wolverine. Why do you guys get so mad that people don't like parts about this game? Is a 75 metacritic rating not enough to convince you that "fans" have a point in disliking things about the game? This is not a 90 game, or even an 80 game.

I guess InFamous is just chopped liver to Sucker Punch these days?

This game was never what I wanted from a Wolverine story. Logan doesn't just kill every person he comes into contact with. Sometimes he loses control and kills, but that is rare and is a big deal. It feels like Insomniac don't have any idea who Wolverine is and just watched the Deadpool and Wolverine movie to decide on his personality.

There is millions of ways to make money. If Sony wants to make money instead of video games they should get out of the video game business.

How do these character designs look MORE generic than real life people on the street? The Sony studios character design people need to leave their houses every once and a while.

It is too bad the story was so abysmal as the gameplay is fantastic. I wish they paid a talented writer to tighten up the story and give us a real ending. The ending is so bad that I haven't touched it since I finished the game. None of this stuff looks like much fun. Huge disappointment after the great Returnal.
They were obviously teasing a "Blue" story DLC, but it doesn't look like we will be getting that. Maybe it will be a paid add-on? The Returnal tower DLC was so great.

I would weep tears of joy to see an Infamous re-master collection release.

Saying the criticism of Wolverine is "just gamers upset at Sony and taking it out on Wolverine" is BS. Marvel Tokon also came out after Sony decided to torpedo the PlayStation brand and nobody is making fun of it - despite all the issues in the PC release!
There is a real dissatisfaction about Wolverine and the devs should be looking into how to fix it instead of pretending it is not real.

Having not played it at all myself, this game looks boring and lame. The art style feels lazy, derivative, and uninspired. If they don't have any original ideas for making a cool-looking Wolverine, then just copy some of the many awesome Wolverine looks from the comics.
It is astounding how they have made one of the coolest characters in comics and movies look so lame and unappealing. I have no desire to play this at all.

They plain didn't do it right at all. There should not be such a thick line under his eyes, and the front of the mask is flat from his forehead to his nose, and the "whiskers" go UP from his nose towards his eyes and then curved down his cheekbones.
This looks like something designed by AI. Nobody with any sense of aesthetics could have approved this.

For some reason I'm still not feeling this one. All of the blood and gore in the preview left me feeling grossed out, and there is no way I'm buying a digital version with how Sony has ended disc production.
If I find this on sale on a physical disc someday I might pick it up, but I'm more excited about Control Resonant TBH.

I didn't even bother with Yotei. I don't get the point of just following some other new character, like the only think important in the first game is the mechanics and not the characters. I'm glad for people who liked the second game, but I have no desire to play a game I already played but with a new character I don't care about.

If Sony doesn't feel like backing down, they should just pack up the whole business and leave. They have no future in gaming after this.

It is actually a very BAD business decision for Sony to stop selling physical games, because the only thing that differentiates them from a PC is that I can buy a physical copy of a game. At least on PC's when I download a game I can back up the file anywhere I want. Sony doesn't even let you directly access the download game file!
There is absolutely no reason for PlayStation to exist if they stop making physical releases of their games.

It is totally valid for people to boycott purchasing digital games on PS5 if they are protesting Sony's decision. It is unfortunate that these studios might be affected by a boycott, but people have no obligation to buy these games and if they feel the need to send a message to Sony there is nothing wrong with that. They are not "hurting" indie devs by choosing to not buy their games.

I really loved the gameplay in Saros, but the story was weak and the writing was terrible. The actors do a great job, but the material they are working with is the absolute worst type of story telling: just teasing with ambiguous nonsense the whole way.
The plot is an obvious rip-off of Solaris, with tons of things from of Carsosa and The King in Yellow, without adding anything. It is fine to be inspired by things, but you have to tell a GOOD story. That is really where Returnal excelled. While we never really got all the answers in that game, we DID get a really well told story that revealed things as it went along and gave you enough to come to your own conclusions.
It is sad when sequels improve their graphics and gameplay but fail in such basic storytelling ways.
Please, game studios, HIRE A WRITER for your game story! The amount of money you pay a professional writer is ALWAYS worth it!

If this had been a third-person shooter it would have been a success. Generally, the people who play first-person shooters don't like magic and fantasy, and the people who like fantasy want to see their character run around a fun fantasy world.

I am VERY excited and happy with a remake of the first two games. There is no reason to have Sucker Punch involved (beyond consulting) with any remake. Sucker Punch obviously has abandoned InFamous (and the InFamous fans).

We have seen many great remakes by studios that were not the original creators.
Frankly the current people at Sucker Punch are not the ones who made the original Infamous games anyways (other than management, who are not the real talent). I would be MORE happy if a different studio remade the game.

This whole article is rage bait. Obviously nobody who is a fan of the Horizon games likes the art style for this game, and anyone who likes this art style probably never played Horizon.

It feels very much like Sony wants Fortnite fans to play their game instead of Horizon fans.

I don't think this will work out for them and another good game will be flushed down the toilet because Sony is trying to chase the games as a service model off a cliff.

If they made the exact same game, but just with the same graphics/art style as the Horizon games, this would sell like gang-busters. There is no reason to use the Horizon IP if you have this stupid derivative art style. Not to mention the mobile game not coming to PS5 already pissed off Horizon fans a few months ago.
What is wrong with execs running big companies these days. Are they having AI make all their decisions for them? Why do they keep making such obviously stupid moves like this?!? They could just pause development for a month and re-skin the game and make 10X's as much profit. Baffling!😖

Really weird choice to make the Horizon game from the original studio have the awful derivative art style, and then the mobile game have the awesome art style that Horizon fans love.

It almost feels like Guerrilla Games are not happy with the fans they have and want to trade them for the fans of Overwatch and Marvel Rivals.

It is too bad his game flopped. It seems like a very sweet game. A game's sales, especially a very niche game like this, are not an indication of level of quality.

It is not obvious at all that the "t-pose" is a disability the character has; it is easy to think they might just be being weird or stubborn. I suspect that if he had made a game about a kid with a real disability (or just had the kid in a body cast stuck in a t-pose!) it would have sold plenty of copies.

@RadioHedgeFund Hilarious to blame the garbage Disney/Abrams put out with Star Wars IX as "the fans" fault. No "fan" was asking for what they made. There were MANY good ways they could tell a story of Rey's origin being Palpatine's granddaughter (or something similar) without resurrecting Palpatine and making a shallow "search for the MacGuffin" tale. They chose to make a terrible movie.

This is a silly statement to make. Obviously almost any decent studio could do the bulk of a re-master of the InFamous games. It's not like they would be making new games, just porting to PS5 and updating the assets. Is there any other huge 1st party PlayStation 3 series that has not be ported to PS4/5 other than InFamous?

An InFamous remaster would not take much of Sucker Punch's precious time, which they spent over the last five years to basically re-make their previous Ghost game.

Who wants to play the single player Halo? Why would they bother bringing it to PS5 and just do single player? If you have to do ONE THING just do multi-player!!! Weird.

Wow! This looks so cool! I'll definitely pick this one up for third-person view. Nice.

Obligatory, "Please do something with inFamous!" post. 😭

I wish we could play InFamous on PS5!!! 😢😭😮‍💨

Since Sony has seemingly abandoned the InFamous games I guess the only thing we will ever get that is similar is the Prototypes. It would be great to get both games remastered and hopefully get some hype for a third one!

Wow, this looks WAY worse than I was anticipating. The ridiculous levels of gore are insanely stupid. This is not what Wolverine has ever been in the comics or the movies. I don't know where they are getting this blood-thirsty maniac characterization for Wolverine. Not interested in a generic blood-fest action game. Maybe we can turn off the gore and we will see some more X-Men show up in future trailers.

This is EXACTLY what I wanted from this game: similar to Returnal but with some differences that make it unique. It kind of feels like the Quake to Doom.
The only thing I would change is that I wish the main character didn't have a trench cloak. The flapping jacket is really off-putting in this context. Maybe we can ditch the jacket or get a more action-oriented outfit somehow during the storyline.
Day-One buy for sure!!!

Their "day one DLC" idea is about the most bone-headed thing I've heard from a game publisher in a long time. This is exactly what almost every gamer HATES with a passion.

They should make the game without the DLC be like $50 and then include the DLC with the $60 game, and then give the "Premium version" people a bunch of new outfits and skins. Then make those skins and outfits something that people can pay for if they want.

I would gladly pay for another cool outfit, but paying for additional factions is absolutely unacceptable.

I don't know why you say "it probably won't be a direct sequel." Why wouldn't it be? Did you finish the game? There is a HUGE part of the universe they didn't explore at all, and an entire "faction" we didn't even get a glimpse at (who were responsible for one of the central events in the story).
I wouldn't be surprised if the story picked up just a few months after the end of the last game. That would be my preferred direction, but I'm sure they will give us something cool whatever they decide.

This game has horrific images of human bodies having the most intense violence possible done to them, and yet nudity is somehow "too far"? Please grow up, everyone! 🙄

Wow, this somehow looks the least exciting and polished I've ever seen this game. It looks like they took all of the life out of it. Maybe it's just the incredibly boring music they put behind this and removed all of the sound effects, but I was very excited about this game before watching this video. 😖

I sure hope people have some good things to say about this when they get to actually play it soon. 😬

If the world wasn't in the toilet these days I wouldn't mind paying $80 for a top-tier game, but there is just too much garbage in the world right now (and video game companies, like Microsoft are a big part of the awfulness going on) that I have no stomach to pay more right now.

I don't believe it.

That would be incredibly stupid if they didn't at least make some small reference to what Jin and Yuna got up to after the first game. I mean if they don't plan on making a direct sequel to the first game they can just give us a lore dump somewhere (like Jin's decedent's house that you can go into and find a diary).

And Sucker Punch is not stupid. There will be SOMETHING in there.

I am so curious what he might be working on. If it is not a "new IP" I can't fathom that it is not some God of War thing, right?

I'm going to believe it is an InFamous sequel until I hear otherwise. 😅

I wish they would just put them out on YouTube so everyone can listen to them.

I think this order is motivated by nostatia more than a clear judgement of where the games are right now. The original InFamous game is MUCH worse than Second Son in every way. The story is great, and it is the first in the series so I understand the temptation to think it is better than Second Son, but this is absolutely not true.
I would love for someone to re-make/re-master the first InFamous with modern graphics (and impliment the improved control scheme in Second Son) and it could be the best of the series.
It is absolutely insane that Sony abandoned this franchise and we had no sequels during the MCU heyday and superhero craze. InFamous is the best superhero franchise in gaming. The only games that even come close are the Insomniac Spider-man and Arkham Batman games.

@nessisonett If women liked that sort of thing we all would have speedos in our closets. It's okay to like different things.

Do I need to play Death Stranding 1 before playing DS2?

The story was much better than many other PlayStation games cough Days Gone cough.
What a bunch of prudes in the comments! Blood and gore don't seem to phase these people (as nobody seems to mention any of that in the game or other modern video games), but android boobs shock the conscious. Grow up, people. It's not real life.

I would love loadouts. That would definitely help me to jump back in for New Game +. I hope to see them improve a lot of the menus. It drives me nuts that I have to change the order of Weapons from "Alphabetical" to "Power" EVERY TIME I do weapons management. It should remember my setting!!! I would also like to be able to group Pictos together - like Energizing Start I, II, and III in a little group together or other ones I want to link to each other.

@Damage99 I'm guessing this was done to train a bunch of new hires at the studio or to learn some new software for PS5. Hopefully they have something else they are working on now that their online multiplayer thing was canceled after the Concord fiasco.

I don't think I can ever wash the bad taste out of my mouth of the broken promises and idiotic statements from the game director on this one. (Freakers aren’t zombies?!? “These aren’t zombies. In our game, they are part of an ecosystem. They are living creatures. They are alive in the world.” So stupid!!!)

Also, I don't think I enjoyed one minute of either the gameplay or story — despite being super excited to play a game set in my beautiful state of Oregon.

This really COULD have been a good game, but the game director being such a tool, the story being boring, and the gameplay not being fun (I played it months after it was released so most of the bugs had been fixed) make this a HARD PASS for me.

@Brundleflies21 Totally agree. I loved every part of this game. I wish I would have been able to decipher more answers about the story from all the clues they gave in the logs. I doubt we will ever have answers, but regardless, the game play was SO great I don't even mind that the story didn't quite fully come together for me.

I'm really curious how this episode hits for people who haven't played the game.

@Cornpop76 Totally agree. I'm floored that they didn't show a Mario game, and that the Metroid Prime 4 game is not a Switch 2 exclusive.

I'm sure someday a new Mario game will come out and I will have to buy this system to play it, but I won't feel bad at all to wait for a few years.

@Majin_Deicide I feel bad for Bloodborne fans. Surely FromSoft will release this on PS5 as well!
