Congrats to Sucker Punch! Hopefully they can do a new IP for their next game.

The worst game in the series but what else are we PS4 owners going to buy.

I've read people who hated the series and loved this one. Sorry you didn't like it.

 

[Cryoflar3]

Deserved. Its a great entry in the series.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Congrats to Sucker Punch!

Infamous: Second Son deserves the success, it's my favorite next-gen game so far.

I've gotten to play it quite a bit at a friend's house. I think it's genuinely one of the more awesome games released this gen, and it's almost certainly the best Infamous game in the franchise.

I need some pics of this.

 

[Loudninja]

Two games series so far got new life on the PS4.

Really great to see.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Good game with a bright future. Congrats to SP.

 

[nStruct]

Glad to see the game do well, congrats Sucker Punch!

 

[MrWilson2912]

So I brought my ps4 with second son. Anybody else know who did this ?

i bought my second ps4 with infamous

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Nice work, SP. With more people getting PS4s and hungry for new games, these numbers are going to get bigger, faster.

A lot of guys trying to buy the first... you are a lucky guy

 

[nynt9]

I wonder if that number means whether the game made money or not. I mean, the install base for the PS4 is limited compared to next gen systems, so they must have had their projections according to that, right?

edit: old gen systems, my bad

What's the other?...

Anyway, congrats to SP, I liked this game.

 

[Raptor]

Well deserved, congrats SP.

I don't understand this part... how can the PS4 install base be limited compared to next gen systems? Unless you are talking compared with old gen systems.

 

[leng jai]

This was never in doubt. A solid game with amazing graphics launched in a barren launch window was always going to sell.

 

[Melchiah]

Good sales for a good game.

PS4 users are hungry for games; just release good ones and they'll bite.

same with vita users.

You could have just changed the last line to "PS4 has no games", while you're at it.

 

[Loudninja]

What's the other?...

Anyway, congrats to SP, I liked this game.

Killzone should be the best selling one in the franchise by now I think.

 

[Trent Strong]

Not deserved. Game was mediocre at best and was the worst Infamous. Everything felt off in that game.

 

[legacyzero]

Excellent game. Deserves amazing sales

 

[MrWilson2912]

I lot of guys trying to buy the first... you are a lucky guy

needed one for the bedroom lol

 

[beast786]

Do we know how much Titanfall sold?

Hundreds of thousands

 

[Dragonborn]

Killzone should be the best selling one in the franchise by now I think.

I'm pretty sure it's still behind KZ2 but it'll definitely surpass it eventually.

While some of the things in the game were inferior to the past game. A lot of stuff were better. Such as flow of combat, enemies, bosses, and shard collecting. It's so easy to get shards now, you don't have to stress over missing one piece like the last game.

The combat has become less spammy in a way since rockets are limited. It's the most powerful regular attack after all. Getting in and out of combat is streamlined with the dodge powers, but at the expense of dying faster. So you got to be a lot more smarter in your approach. Enemy count has risen by a lot compared to the other games.

Framerate is more consistent than the previous games.

 

[Skilletor]

Good sales, good game. Bring on the dlc with new powers and enemies.

 

[Vire]

Killzone should be the best selling one in the franchise by now I think.

Even though it sold relatively well, I can't imagine a potential sequel selling nearly as well based on the fan reception of Shadowfall. Similar to what happened with FFXIII, everything FF13 related afterword sold like shit because of the suspect quality of the original game. I think Guerrilla needs to go back to the drawing board with a new IP (and I know they are)... Killzone is a tired old dog that needs to be put down.

 

[stryke]

heh

 

[jcm]

Totally off-topic but can someone tell me where this gif came from? And is that Michael Caine?

As for the topic, congrats to them for the sales.

It's from a commercial, and it's not Michael Caine.

ctrl+f "shipped or sold"

You slipping, gaf.

Need the actual press release.

Yup, it's odd we haven't seen a press release from SCE Australia.

Be it shipped or sold through, those numbers are pretty good and the game deserves them.

Congrats SP!

 

[Tobor]

Best game so far in the series. Well deserved sales for an excellent game. Congrats to Sucker Punch and thanks for the fun game!

 

[Freeman]

Do we have any Infamous 2 numbers to compare this to?

All I found was this Infamous 1 announcement of 1.2m units by October 2009(~6 months).

[gamechanger87]

Great job SP and I'm sure it'll continue to sell great. It's an awesome game.



If we haven't heard anything yet, it's possible that it's not doing as well as they'd hope and they could just wait for the 360 sales to lump in Titanfall across the Xbox family.

Congrats to SP. I think both consoles are getting software boosts due to this draught.

Umm EA can't wait for sales figures for the 360 version because it wasn't out in March and NPDs are out next week.

 

[Tabular]

Congrats, Sucker Punch!

Yep. Pretty good. How long before 2 million?

Best game so far in the series. Well deserved sales for an excellent game. Congrats to Sucker Punch and thanks for the fun game!

Ya I think that's almost universally true but the critics down voted it because they are hard on games so early in the generation. Had it come out instead of 1 or 2 it would have got 9s and 10s lol.

Well deserved. March NPD numbers can't come soon enough!

Dat drive-by post.

 

[ricen-beans]

Just platinumed the game tonight, very well deserved. Fun and serious in all the right places, and i loved the references scattered throughout the game [Xbone jacket, Buxton, ' this is for the gamer', ' you're god dammed right I am' etc].

Haha!! The Xbone jacket made me laugh immediately!


Loved this game btw. My favorite infamous game by faaaarrrr. Well deserved success.

 

[SimpleGamer]

Congrats Sucker Punch! The Game was great

 

[Cubed]

Awesome, game. Congrats, SP!

My first PS4 Platinum Trophy.

 

[MavFan619]

Congrats SP I was always a mild fan of Infamous 2 didn't care for 1, loved SS. My favorite PS4 game yet, exclusive or otherwise.

 

[ultratruman]

I need some pics of this.

Buxton building has the X stylised the same as the Xbox X, one of the jackets delsin unlocks is called X Bone,

Spoiler

delsin said ' this is for the gamer' when I was fighting to get the last Video powerup with Eugene's angels and he says ' you're goddamn right' during the face off with Augustine if you play evil.

[Biker19]

Are you looking at this, Ubisoft? Activision? EA?

Make a proper next gen title like this, & your games will possibly be popular as well.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Good for Sucker Punch, they really deserve it. With devs like Santa Monica and Naughty Dog, I think they get overshadowed sometimes. Now they're currently in the spotlight and it wasn't in vain.

Good job, guys.

There's good reasons for that. Happy for SP though, hoping it hits 3-4 million overall. Would be cool if Sony at E3 show a visual stating both Killzone and inFamous sold 3 million, though I think GG needs a break with Killzone (or both a new writer and director.. for the love of God).
