InFamous Second Son-Insights

     

     I personally am really looking forward to the third InFamous. InFamous has always been a favorite of mine with its easy to understand controls, awesome powers, and great storyline. This new game looks like it's going to be a favorite. I am actually almost persuaded to buy the new system just to be able to play this game. So, let me get started on my first insight.

                                                     Delsin

     The new main protagonist is going to be named Delsin. An interesting and not usual name. He looks like a rebel, or a rogue. I am hoping that this means he will take risks and get things done, but not always in the right way. Kind of like an anti-hero. Which, speaking of heroes, brings me to my next point. Will the traditional choose your path of Hero or InFamous be included in this game? I really hope so, because thats what the name is all about. One thing about Delsin, that some people are getting confused about, is that his power is not to control smoke, his power is to absorb other conduits' powers.

                                                     Gameplay

     The gameplay in this new game is somewhat like the old InFamous. Delsin can shoot smoke balls from his hands kind of like Cole's bolts. Also, i'm looking forward to the navigation system. In the old InFamous, we had Static Thrusters, Ice Launch, Firebird Strike, and Grind Wires. In the new game, I believe that there is some sort of way to scale buildings really fast, or something of the sort. I also see Delsin being able to turn into smoke and zoom towards enemies and take them down all in a fluid movement. He also has a power much like the Static Thrusters, only with smoke. His melee weapon is his chain, much like the amp. He also has a power that is like the Electric Jump, only with smoke, but he does not have to jump from a high place to use it.

                                                      Story

   The story of Second Son is that Delsin helps a man escape from a bus crash, and he absorbs the man's smoke powers. Delsin is a rebel to the D.U.P. and believes that they are imprisoning his city. Which brings up one more point. The game designers put a lot of effort in creating a city that actually exists this time: Seattle. Delsin rebels and attacks the D.U.P. stating that "You don't control me".

   As I have said before, I am really looking forward to this game. Sometimes I wish that I didn't have to buy a new console just to play it, but that probably won't happen, so i'm just gonna start saving.                                                                  

PSP Review

     I haven't done any posts recently, so I decided to post again. I recently bought a PSP 3000 recently, so I decided to do a review.

                                                        Features

     The Sony PSP 3000 has many features much like the PS3. It has the Directional Pad, the Button Pad, and the Analog Stick. It also has the Playstation button, which acts the same as on the PS3. It has a volume button also. To turn on the internet, you have to know every detail of your internet information, enter it into the settings, then switch on the WLAN button. It also has the Right and Left buttons.

                                  Graphics

     The graphics on the PSP 3000 are better than the 2000, but they aren't anything to brag about. They are good though. They have vibrant colors and movements.

                                                                   

                                                      Gameplay

     The gameplay is pretty good, while it is also not as good as possible. You can move with both the D-Pad and Analog stick in most games, but the movements are kind of slow. When I think of moving, I think of fast, fluid movement. 

     I really enjoy my PSP 3000's graphics and gameplay, along with how the system looks. It looks sleek and dark, something Batman might use. Overall, I would rate this system a 8/10.

                                                                      

NeverWinter Dungeons and Dragons MMO RPG

 

 Recently a friend turned me towards a new MMO RPG game--NeverWinter. First I would just like to say that I was always a fan of fantasy MMO games. They brought a sense of adventure. But most were just pointless cartoon graphics with a storyline that I never even came close to finishing because they were just too thin. Like if you had a pizza, a highly loved meal, that didn't have any tomato sauce. It's just weird.

                                                         The Music  

     So anyways, back to the game. The soundtrack. It just feels right as you are facing off with a huge rat, or giant goblin, while a steady stream of perfectly fitting music. Usually a guitar riff, like in Black Ops 2 when you are starting a match. It just makes you feel invincible. But you are not invincible in this game, which brings me to the story.

                                                      The Story and Quests

   NeverWinter has a variety of different quests such as battling giant sewer rats, to fighting the zombie queen. The main storyline is zombies. You awaken on a beach, your ship in ruins. There is a young knight standing over you. You gather your supplies, and plunge straight into quests and battles. When you first create your character, there is a cutscene of Knights, Rogues and Mages battling the enemy forces. And as an impression, it looked AWESOME. You could see the rogue darting around vanishing into mid air and reappearing, but behind the enemy, and taking them down.

                                                  The Graphics

     The graphics are vary good in sense of attacking and lighting. This is a 3rd person MMO RPG like most of them. The bursts of light and air vapor graphics are very good. The really approve on the shine of my dual daggers as I strike the finishing blow on a Giant.

     So, all in all, I would rate this game my favorite MMORPG yet, and a 8/10. I would also like to thank Cryptic studios for developing such an awesome game.

Graphics

   Okay, so I have been thinking a lot about game graphics. A game could have the best story in the universe, but if it has sucky graphics people are all like, "OMG that game has sucky graphics". Thats all they think about, not the story, the graphics. I love some games, but i'm always thinking, " If only the graphics could have been better". Do any of you guys think this? And what game? Then again, a game could have the suckiest story, and yet, the best graphics ever. The graphics and the story compliment each other. To make the perfect game, it has to have good graphics, and the equal level of story greatness. No wonder i haven't encountered a game like this so far. What with graphics being so advanced, it will take years for good story to catch up. Or just a good writer.

PS4

                                                   


    So I guess it's about time I started talking about the PS4. The PS4 is rumored to be 3D based. In my opinion, this sounds fairly awesome. I think that it would put a whole new look to gaming. But one thing that is a setback about the PS4 is that it probably won't be cheap. I wonder if it will be worth it to have a whole new system just to play 3D games.

    I have about a dozen games for the PS3. What will happen to those games? Will I be forced to buy new games for the PS4? Or will it be multi-platform? I am dying to know the details of the PS4. They are announcing new games for it such as Watch Dogs and InFamous Second Son. But what I really want to know about are the system details and graphics and gaming platform. Should I save up for the PS4? Or just stick with the ever-present and increasingly awesome PS3?
 
    There is one thing that makes me veer towards the PS4 system, though. THE GAMES. As I said in one of my earlier posts, I love Uncharted. Naughty Dog announced that they will not be making anymore Uncharted games for the PS3. They said nothing about the PS4, though. Another game series that I enjoy is InFamous. If you have seen the trailer for InFamous Second Son, you know it will be amazing.
 
    So, what do you gamers think personally? Should I save up, or just stick with the PS3? I guess I could do both. But still, which would be a better thing to do? Click the Poll on the side of the site to vote.

Portable Games

So right now, I'm thinking about portable games. I am on a car trip for 2 hours. When I was younger the only games I had were portable. From the Gameboy Advance, to the Nintendo DS. My Nintendo DS broke recently though, so I have replaced it with a PlayStation Portable(PSP). I want you gamer's opinions. Did I make the right choice with this purchase? What was your first portable game console? What is the best portable game console? Comment below for the world to hear. I feel like I'm talking to myself. PROVE ME WRONG.

Uncharted

One game that has always been a favorite of mine is the Uncharted trilogy. The story of Uncharted is that you are a fortune hunter, and you want to find the city of gold. That's right you heard me. The fabled city of gold. You must travel with your friend, Sullivan, fighting off rival treasure hunters that are rich and have basically thousands of people who help take you down. This game probably has the second best only to COD and Infamous human graphics. You can really feel the suspense and your heart beating extremely fast as a giant yeti monster attacks you in the Himalayan mountains, and when a tank blows the place you were standing seconds ago sky high, and when a fortune hunter shoots your friend in the back. This game is very intriguing in the sense of wanting to take risks. I would rate this game 8/10.
