Forums - Sony Discussion - Infamous: Second son will not feature multiplayer. Why not?

While details were sketchy at the time, it was speculated that it would happen, considering that the last instalment before Second Son did indeed try to push for online interaction. Sadly, (or luckily depending on your preferences), inFamous: Second Son will not feature any sort player vs. player or co-op for that matter.

As confirmed by Brand Development Director, Ken Schramm, in an interview by UDM, while the main protagonist will indeed meet various NPC’s throughout the campaign, the game will not feature multiplayer and will remain a single-player game.

No news on whether the user generated content feature that allowed players to create their own missions and share it with others will be making it into the game. inFamous: Second Son releases on March 21st for PS4.

So, what are your guys’ thoughts? Are you glad it’s staying a single-player game or were you hoping to be able to bash one another head on with all sorts of crazy powers?

Crackdown 1 (2007) had coop. Saints Row has coop I think.

This will hurt its meta. MP is one thing, but Coop is more or less expected now.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It doesn't need it. Simple as that. There is no rule that a game not having MP will make it less of a game.

Total bullshit. If missing "expected" features like Coop in an open world game is going to hurt its meta, then I wonder how much you think missing the kinda expected feature of a singleplayer campaign is going to hurt Titanfalls meta.



Great news to me. Focus resources on honing an excellent single player campaign which will always be the main reason I game. If anything makes me more interested.
