Poll: The Legacy of Cole MacGrath

[OniGamer2]

WARNING: The following comments on this page will most likely contain spoilers as to the events of Infamous, Infamous 2 and the recently announced Second Son.

For those of you who are aware, InFamous: Second Son is the recently announced sequel to the hit Playstation Exclusive franchise: InFamous. It has come to my attention that, after viewing the player statistics of trophies collected, Sucker Punch made the call to follow the Good Karma storyline when approaching the future events of their upcoming title. That being said, (SPOILERS, GOOD KARMA ENDING) the fact that Conduits are still alive after the New Marais crisis, Cole's death and the now supposed deaths of every conduit on the planet is a tad alarming, seeing as though it portrayed the conduits as being wiped out in order to save humanity. I want to know you guys' thoughts as to this recent change. Was there a need for a sequel? Why even select a specific Karma ending to enter a sequel game? Why are conduits alive when they were supposedly exterminated?

Oh and here's a poll to see which ending you preferred for InFamous 2.

Hey guys,
considering that i played as both hero and evil in inFamous 2 i would like to drive from my hero side and continue with the heroic behavior, in which case i believe there is need for a sequel.

Why does Second Son even need to be in the same realm as the two prior? That seems a little restrictive, especially with how the good play through ended.

yeah my first thought when I saw the second son trailer way back when was that they'd do a "Final Fantasy Style" deal; similar premise, similar worldbuilding, different story, different themes, different reality.

The OP didn't post any source of Sucker Punch saying it IS in the same continuity... but if this proves true, I'll be a tad disappointed, to say the least, that they went back on their conclusive ending.

Mixed feelings, 2 wrapped things up nicely, but I get to play another Infamous game....so I'm happy.

It was hardly conclusive ending... since they're were 2 different endings, both being very different, and we have a different protagonist this time round.
Personally, I would have been disappointed if they continued Cole's story, but since that isn't the case, I'm excited to be playing a new inFamous game

Oh, and it is the same universe, and based off the good ending, as more people went for that option in the second game.

I'm really hoping that the "evil" ending of two is cannon.

It just explains more things, why society is more paranoid etc. And frankly, if the good ending is cannon, the main character in Second Son would be dead, unless Sucker Punch is going to retcon everything.

Also if the "evil" ending is cannon, it means that Cole can show up. If that actually does happen, then I hope the player is given some choices of what to do.

I preferred the evil ending, since I love being a villain protagonist. But I liked the hero ending as well. I'm just glad there's another inFamous game coming out.
