Game Informer June Cover: Infamous Second Son/PlayStation 4 Issue (30 Pages)

You do know they're covering other PS4 games too, right? Or are you just talking about the cover of the magazine itself?

knack should have been the cover and get the spread. we need more information with it tbh. hopefully GI covers more than what little we know about it.
 
I didn't realize that so many folks don't like inFamous.

Also, we know it was announced but what else do we know? Besides the haters, I don't get how this is disappointing
 
Why are people complaining? Just because it didn't meet your ridiculous expectations doesn't mean that it's terrible. Get a grip.

That said, hopefully we'll be getting a bunch of new info.

Fantastic! 30 pages of PS4 games.

Can you buy single digital issues or how does this whole thing work? Can anyone explain? It would be appreciated.

It's not bad, it's just bland. All Sony really needed to say was "another infamous game is coming".

I'm trying to figure out what's going on in the cover.

Is Delsin phasing through the train, jumping out of the train, or was he latched onto the train and is wall-hopping to the next one?

That is what happens when you set yourself up for something godlike to be revealed. Here we have coverage of the PS4 and it's launch games a few months away from the start of a new generation and it is deemed as 'boring.' LOL, got to love it.

Well, personally, other than Knack, these games are pretty boring. More Killzone and Infamous sequels? I couldn't care less. And yeah, of course people should lower their expectations (especially considering it's Game Informer), but it doesn't take away from the fact that for some people, like myself, these games are a one way train to sleepy-ville. I'm most interested to see what devs in Japan have planned for this system, honestly. I guess E3 and TGS will be where all of the cool-guy games will be shown.

And to people like me, it is exciting and cant wait to read it and see what new info they have on these games.

See, you will NEVER make everyone happy.
 
So they said it was going to be several games and pieces about something they had been writing since February (I think?)... and some people expected Durango (because MS "always goes bigger than Sony" lol), which would be unbelievably stupid considering it's May 7th. Others... I don't know what they were even expecting. HL3 + HL3:EP3 + HL4?

This is far from unpredictable or surprising lol
 
So, smoke eh?

Does this mean consoles can finally handle smoke effects?

I'd love nothing more than to throw smokebombs and watch the confusion in both single and multiplayer games. I remember how cool it was to throw smoke in games like COD4=

Drive Club and Destiny is covered too. I'm especially excited for more Drive Club info.

I think he is just jumping from the top of one train to the other...but it would be great if he can just pass through them..would be badass
 
ITT people don't know how to manage their expectations.. When you don't know how to handle your shit you get disappointed.. ALWAYS..

I can't wait to see E3 meltdowns from over expectation.
Its one of the reasons I joined this forum
 
The city looks a strange hybrid of current architecture and futuristic architecture. Kind of like the original Resistance and Half Life 2 of course.

This game should be awesome. Is there any info about its status a launch day/window game?

two separate suckerpunch employees' linkedin pages list it as a launch game, and a gaffer posted the other day that he spoke with a sony exec/rep/whatever that said all of the games shown at the playstation meeting will be launch games. i also believe suckerpunch said they were targeting launch window around the time of the ps4 reveal.

it looks like it's highly likely it will be a launch title.

Looks to me that he is jumping from the side of the right train to the left train. If they are moving then I'm not sure how he is able to jump from the side of like that though.

Yeah I think you're right. I cannot wait to see all the things you can do with the smoke powers. Sucker Punch is a creative studio.

Yeah like he was latched onto it. It would be so awesome.
 
what the fuck is going on in here? i still don't get why so many people are pissed about the issue...? or is there some other thing they're mad about?

the june issue will be focused on PS4. what's so bad about that?

non-edit: what expectations? was something else hyped for this issue?

People were expecting HL3 (as always) and other crazy predictions.

I'm flat out convinced we have haters, trolls, and flame baiters here.

If you don't like the news here then don't post.

Some are just eager to say, "hey, look at how much I don't care about this news".

On a positive note, I just converted over to digital on the GameInformer website. I'm all set for that digital issue goodness.
 
Out of all the games mentioned, DriveClub, Knack, or Destiny would have been a better choice.
As a cover for a PS4 blowout, I don't think Destiny would be a good choice. And I may be judging to early but I don't know if a new IP platformer like Knack will do to well.

The meltdowns and the hypetrains are the reasons I started getting active on these forums. Just a lot of fun, but still without too much of the extreme idiocy/trollishness that shows up in other places due to people getting banned promptly (at least compared to said places)

Well I'm hyped. inFAMOUS Second Son is easily my most wanted next gen game. Some of the particle effects in that video are incredible.
