inFamous: Second Son will include a multiplayer mode, an official PlayStation 4 brochure has suggested.

The game's page in the document lists Second Son's player count, stating that the game will support 1 player offline, with "online players TBC".

Other offline games featured in the document, including Knack, for example, don't include a listing for online player count, suggesting inFamous' mention of online players could be deliberate.

Sucker Punch has yet to reveal a multiplayer mode for inFamous: Second Son. Previous games in the series were single-player only affairs.

The game is expected to release on PS4 early next year.

Please don't lock the Platinum trophy behind a grind. Please.

 

[TacticalFox88]

And the trend of games having MP that REALLY don't need it, continues.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Woah, weird.

Just gimme free roam co-op. That'll do.

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah they've been hiring network programmers for ages.

Good to see that job postings remain incredibly reliable in predicting this.

 

[B.O.O.M]

No idea what you guys are talking about. This is the kind of setting that can actually BE a really cool MP

 

[reminder]

Don't need a MP, just give me a damn good SP. Everything else is just a bonus.

 

[Kouichi]

Oh now I am even more excited.

There are so many ways to make an Infamous multiplayer mode really awesome

 

[Leucrota]

Please don't lock the Platinum trophy behind a grind. Please.

Are we still going to have trophies/cheevs next gen?

 

[Card Boy]

I doubt it, it's properly just the level creator stuff.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

WAT. well, that explains the delay i guess, awesome news.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Don't need a MP, just give me a damn good SP. Everything else is just a bonus.

Eh, I think a well done drop in drop out co op would be amazing.

 

[Creaking]

I am intrigued.

I wonder if they'll be including the mission creator from inFamous 2 as well.

 

[Loudninja]

inFamous gameplay would be awesome in multiplayer.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I assume not, but are they including/refining the mission editor for this game, as well?

 

[Rainbow In The Dark]

I hope it does. It could be great.

 

[AranhaHunter]

I am intrigued.

I wonder if they'll be including the mission creator from inFamous 2 as well.

I think it will be regular multiplayer now...

 

[jWILL253]

This will either be really good, or really terrible. The potential is there, though...

 

[AgentChris]

This is the best thing ever. MP with inFAMOUS gameplay will be heaven. A mix of Uncharted with RDR/GTA.

 

[mr_nothin]

Nice

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Multiplayer Open world messing about in this? I like the sound of that.

 

[Fushichou187]

Are we still going to have trophies/cheevs next gen?

The video [link] showing the PS4 UI and social features confirms that trophies are still apart of the experience. I think the more interesting question is whether or not we will have extensive multiplayer-related trophies now that it is effectively behind a paywall.

Please don't lock the Platinum trophy behind a grind. Please.

I would add ridiculously laborious collector trophies to this as well. 30 Blast Shards... okay fine. 300+? Sucker Punch, Go Home.

 

[Drachma]

UGC related rather than multiplayer surely?

Unless it's just mutliplayer being added into the UGC part or something... Just keep that shit away from the single player design!

 

[AppleMIX]

I think Coop would be better.

 

[Mulligan]

pls be some sort of free roam co op

 

[Jb]

Coop would be fantastic.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Would prefer SP only to have it at launch.

 

[smr00]

And the trend of games having MP that REALLY don't need it, continues.

They don't always turn out bad though.

I thought UC2/UC3 turned out fantastic and the game didn't need it, at all.

 

[Omega]

And the trend of games having MP that REALLY don't need it, continues.

Well if it turns out like Mass Effect 3 I'm all for it. Even though it was barebones and simple, I still think ME3 is one of the best MP games this gen

 

[alr1ght]

Infamous is the one series that I have wanted MP for for awhile.

 

[BHK3]

UGC was pretty fun in inFamous 2, plus this is open world so it'll be co-op and you can't really mess that up or 'take resources' out of the single player for that...
