Utilizing the fast speed, graphics processing power and high resolution output of the PS4 system, Sucker Punch pays tribute to their hometown of Seattle, Washington with a remarkable level of visual fidelity. In native 1080p, Second Son captures the realistic weather, architecture and atmosphere of the city, complete with dynamic lighting, realistic rain and puddles, as well as local businesses and iconic landmarks. inFAMOUSSecond Son also delivers an emotionally driven cinematic storyline with its ultra-realistic in-game cut scenes and character animations made possible through Sucker Punch's advanced 3D facial motion capture techniques. Other tech advancements include a new particle system built specifically for the PS4 hardware to create stunning visual and special effects that bring Delsin's powers to life through hundreds of thousands of on-screen particles. Streamlined gameplay mechanics and DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller enhancements provide a fluid gameplay experience with improved accuracy and responsiveness. Contextual integration of the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad, speaker and light bar also provides more immersive game moments.
"From real-time reflections off the rain-soaked streets of Seattle to experiencing the play of emotion across Delsin's face, inFAMOUS Second Son defines what PS4 brings to gamers," said Asad Qizilbash, senior director of first party games marketing at SCEA. "In delivering a new adventure that lets players explore a vibrant and expansive world as they discover the exhilarating experience of what it would be like to have extraordinary powers, inFAMOUSSecond Son is a must have addition for all gamers this spring."
Building on the major pillars of the inFAMOUS franchise, Second Son encourages players to revel in a diverse set of powers as they unleash explosive moves destroying the surrounding environment and enemies and seamlessly traverse across Seattle's urban playground. With multiple powers such as neon and smoke, players are given an even broader toolset to customize their gameplay experience. Players can shoot up a vent, lob a smoke grenade then quickly glide across the city to slash enemies with a neon beam. Player choice, a mainstay of the franchise, returns as the player's decisions directly impact the story lines of Delsin and the characters he meets, as well how they play the game and upgrade their powers. By choosing to play as either a hero or a ruthless villain, the game delivers two very distinct and enjoyable gameplay experiences, each path offering branching narratives, exclusive missions, and unique power upgrades based on your choices.
inFAMOUSSecond Son is now available exclusively for the PS4 system on Blu-ray(TM) disc and is also available for digital download on day one. While supplies last, a Limited Edition will be available at retail and digitally for $59.99 that contains bonus downloadable content, Cole's Legacy. Also available in very limited quantities is the Collector's Edition for $79.99, which includes the game with an exclusive cover, as well as a wearable replica of Delsin's beanie, a set of pins, decals, a DUP patch, in-game vest and Cole's Legacy DLC. The inFAMOUSSecond Son - Original Soundtrack is also now available digitally on iTunes and will be offered as a physical CD starting on March 25, 2014 through Amazon.com with pre-orders available now. inFAMOUS Second Son is rated "T" for Teen with Blood, Drug Reference, Language, Sexual Themes and Violence.
