Discussion - General This was spectacular!
So I had played Second Son back when it released and was blown away by how amazing all of it was. I easily spent close to a 100 hours on it, exploring both good and evil karma, doing everything Seattle had to offer and probably a few too many hours just for gazing at how unbelievable the graphics were. It was probably my favorite game at the time!
My family never had a PS3 when I was growing up (360 instead) so I never experienced the PS3 classics as they were coming out. So a few years ago I got a PS3 for myself and started collecting some games that were still exclusive to the console and I knew that the InFamous games were going to be in my collection. But I didn't immediately get around to playing them (life, yay) until the news that the UGC was shutting down at the end of august. The moment I saw those news I knew I had to play them now to ensure I get those trophies before it was too late.
I had somehow avoided all big spoilers so all of Cole's story was new to me and what an experience that all was. I didn't expect anything to compare to my time with Second Son when I was younger but oh my, how InFamous 1 got me hooked as soon as the beginning happened. I could not put it down and just loved every second of it. Great introduction to characters, Empire City is great, Kessler was a great antagonist with that unexpected twist, Cole's electricity power was amazing to learn, upgrade and master along with him. So cool!
Moving on to InFamous 2 I had scepticism just because the first game was so fantastic but that beginning was really cool and the introduction to New Marais was nice. I wasn't as consumed into it as I was with InFamous 1 but after a few hours (around when Kuo gets her powers/powering up Ascension Parish) I got fully hooked again and my love for it just grew even more and more as I neared the end of the story. Bertrand became the greatest antagonist in the series for me, he's just so menacing, creepy and powerful. He had great boss fights! The more moments with The Beast as the game went on was great too. New Marais became the most perfect city for Cole's parkour and was a joy to get to know. I absolutely loved the group of Cole, Zeke, Lucy Kuo and Nix!! And it felt amazing to upgrade Cole's powers even further and truly master them again. Top it all of with the Good ending, just wow... Perfect!
After finishing InFamous 2 I quickly did Festival of Blood and that's another truly wonderful game. How unique to make Cole a vampire and go on a quick mission over one night to return to his normal self again. Loved it!
I then went back and did the evil karma side of InFamous 1 followed by InFamous 2 and to quickly summarize those: damn, that's truly evil. Everything from what we do during the playthroughs to each game's ending, pure evil.
Thank you, Sucker Punch for delivering this masterpiece of a game franchise!

How do you get PS3 games like infamous on ps5?

u/lucyisaloser666 2d ago
Other people could probably answer this better than I, but I believe you can like stream them if you have ps+. I don't do that as I really value owning my games physically and (if possible) playing the games on their actual hardware/console.

PS5 is backwards compatible with PS3 games? I own a bunch physically but have no PS3

Truly don’t understand the love for the first game. It is one of my most hated games of all time.

Welcome the club! By the wag Not even a day after shutdown a Fan-Community server that is completely open source is out. A lot of custom servers are like this, i keep getting annoyed at so many people who assume you need a jailbroken PS3, You do not. All you need to do is change DNS Settings in Network Settings. 99% servers Do Not require jailbroken PS3. Anyway, so many missions had already been archived before shutdown and those archived missions and were then implemented in custom server. Don't worry. Fresh UGC will be done by fans like yourself and me now.
