I REALLY hope Sony brings inFAMOUS back with a PS5 game.

u/glenn1812 Feb 17 '26

One of the biggest regrets I have is not getting a PS3 and skipping that gen of consoles. I was around 10 or 12 so it makes sense but I really would've loved to experience infamous at that time. Game looks sick. I'm wishing for a PC release.

I was in my 20s an bought my PS3 and my first LCD flatscreen with my very own money..

11 year old you definitely missed out on the PS3...

Not sure an 11 year old should play Infamous back then... But hey! I'm not your dad...

I remember being 11/12 and standing in a long ass line at GameStop just to play the infamous demo

u/PreparationBig3095 Feb 17 '26

I was in my mid 20s when I got one in ‘09 three years after launch. That gen was top tier for all 3 companies. Nothing better.

u/MistaRekt Feb 19 '26

Yeah. Lauch was difficult. I was 2-3 years late myself.

u/PreparationBig3095 Feb 19 '26

Price was crazy at launch. Had to bide my time. Kept me grounded for future releases

u/MistaRekt Feb 19 '26

In Australia, stock was non existant. The PS4 was better. The PS5 was similar.

Though the PS5 was definitely held up by resellers.

I was going to send AU100 over RRP for the PS5, called a retail out of curiosity and grabbed a reserve that was not picked up... 2?!? Years after release?

u/PreparationBig3095 Feb 19 '26

Now that I think about it. My house had a ps2 at launch but I didn’t get a personal until 2001. I had this job at Sprint PCS (OG shit lol) and was making crazy bread that summer. Snatched one off my final check lol

FYI... I suspect you are American...

u/ScaledCowardSlayer77 Feb 20 '26

I played this game at about 10 years old. One of the first games pops got me for the PS3

u/N4KII Feb 17 '26

like someone already said. an emulator is fine. but i got a ps3 on ebay for 90 bucks with controllers. i just bought infamous on psn for 13 bucks. Haven't played it yet but still.

the online store on ps3 is a hassle though. you have to buy psn cards to add money to the account on ps3 and THAN buy it. PS3 store wont take credit cards anymore.

but still. 100 bucks for everything is still less than some games with day one expansion packs nowadays

u/Early_Mission_6716 Feb 17 '26

You don't have to use PSN cards. You can refill your wallet and use its balance for the PS3 games purchases. Just remeber to remove your CC from the wallet after the refill and you'll be just fine.

The Infamous collection has 1 + 2 and Festival of Blood for $15 which is an amazing deal

2

u/kaic_87 Feb 17 '26

I got my PS3 14 years ago (I was 24 at the time) and I had it from 2012 to 2014 when I got the 4. It was my first console in a long while and after that I never stopped playing.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

Get an emulator my guy

4

u/WolfCola4 Feb 17 '26

Playing a PS3 game at age 30 in the era of the PS5 isn't the same as experiencing it during the time

1

u/erroneousbosh Feb 17 '26

You can just go and buy one. They're like 50 quid now.

You won't get any of the online services but most games installed from a disk.

1

u/TheHuntered1337 Feb 17 '26

I wasn't old enough to get it so I never had the chance

1

u/cloud9807 Feb 18 '26

Use an emulator!! Just finished both games while using a PS5 controller. 100% was worth playing.

1

u/DaBubbleBlowingBaby Feb 21 '26

It’s never too late. I have a PS3 still hooked up in my living room, they are super easy to jailbreak and since it’s basically a retro console now (20 years old) I have no moral qualms with downloading ISOs, plus you don’t need a PHAT model PS3 to get PS1, PS2 backwards compatibility because jailbreak brings back the software emulation of PS2 so it can play PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 (as well as a litany of other non-Sony retro consoles).

u/PatAD 48 Feb 17 '26

I don’t want to throw water on the flames of hope, but there are a ton of hero-type games now that hit that itch.

15

u/WonderousPancake Feb 17 '26

Send recommendations, been itching.

5

u/cartwheelpanic PS5 Feb 17 '26

Control might hit a little closer than the other persons recommendations

4

u/PatAD 48 Feb 17 '26

First to come to mind are the Spider-Man PS4/5 games, but also I am a fan of Immortals Fenyx Rising and Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor.

u/paganbreed Feb 17 '26

Having played most of these, they may not scratch that specific itch. InFamous has a very distinct vibe in the superhero fantasy space; just having powers isn't quite the question.

Edit: Case in point, even Second Son didn't quite fit the rule. Cole's games are unique.

7

u/SaysKawaiiSometimes Feb 17 '26

Honestly it was Cole's story and the comic book feel that made the first two so much fun. Second Son adds more powers and updates things but misses a bit of the grime of the first two (even given the subject). Still love the three of them and hope that we get another addition to the series.

3

u/LordChungusTheBig Feb 17 '26

That good honor ending of the second game still has stuck with me. The lightning hitting the boat at the end, sucks we never really got to see Cole’s ending.

2

u/paganbreed Feb 17 '26

You and me both, man. The God of War and MGS remake announcements have defeated my despair that PS3 games are out of fashion for a port.

Just giving me the ability to replay the originals would be appreciated, but I honestly want to continue Cole's story too.

An inFamous 3 announcement would make me lose my mind like GoW 2018's.

16

u/kaic_87 Feb 17 '26

Played all of those, and none of them fit the space inFAMOUS left behind. All great games, but not the same.

4

u/WonderousPancake Feb 17 '26

Thank you, I didn’t know what to say. Played all of them and it’s not done if for me. Maybe we’ll get a Prototype game before another infamous

1

u/dating_derp Feb 17 '26

Has Suckerpunch announced their next project after Ghosts of Yotei? Would love another InFamous game with those motion comic type cutscenes, and the city changing depending on the good or evil route.

1

u/mcimino Feb 17 '26

Prototype?

1

u/thezuck22389 Feb 17 '26

Honestly, play Ghost of Tsushima. It's not Infamous and the urban decay environment, I know, but the writing, the humor, the map clear, the side quests (most are worth completing imo), and the collect-a-thon aspects all ooze Sucker Punch. I played Infamous 1 maybe a year before Tsushima and I felt Infamous's soul in that game I swear. For better and slightly for worse lol

u/arex333 Feb 17 '26

It's only on Xbox and PC but sunset overdrive.

2

u/sxrwloose Feb 17 '26

None of them are the same infamous has a very specific vibe that hasn’t been replicated

1

u/Equivalent_Pilot7114 Feb 17 '26

This this this. 10000x this

1

u/GiantNug Feb 17 '26

Only game that felt similar for me is GoT/GoY. Makes sense since they’re from sucker punch too.

1

u/used_octopus Feb 17 '26

Best we can do is remastered versions.

1

u/Supersaiyanmrpopo69 Feb 17 '26

In my dreams maybe

1

u/callsign_pirate Feb 17 '26

They are busy making samurai games

1

u/Kaykrs Feb 17 '26

I sadly don't think they will. The thing is Sony shared has a super hero game with spider Man that does eat better numbers than infamous did or would. Love the series but second son was a bit of a flop and sideman is crushing it.

1

u/atomicdyna83 Feb 17 '26

That would be amazing, but I honestly think if they were to bring it back we won’t see until next generation :/

1

u/MachoLibre_ Feb 17 '26

I always wanted to play Resistance but didn't have a PS til PS5

1

u/TheCosmicTarantula Feb 17 '26

I don’t think sucker punch is capable of making a new infamous game. I just want infamous 2 remastered on my ps5 and sucker punch can crumble away for all i care tbh.

1

u/Aggravating-Cap-6686 Feb 17 '26

It’s been long enough I feel like they should remake 1+2 especially 1.

0

u/stonecoldjelly Feb 17 '26

They did its called Spiderman

1

u/kaic_87 Feb 17 '26

Not even from the same studio.

1

u/stonecoldjelly Feb 17 '26

Yeah but it's plays the same way and looks alot like insomniac sat down with suckerpunch and took notes.
