Ok first of all, if I'm putting this in the wrong section or anything, please do tell me. Now thats out the way, on with my writing.
SS came out in 2014, and we still haven't had an announcment about a new inFAMOUS. Well I'm done slamming my ears in the oven doors in annoyance over this, so I'm going to say what I think the next inFAMOUS game should be. Now, there are a lot of things I have to say about this, so I'm going to make several discussions on this, this is part 1, the ground rules. All this section is, is me explain the basis of the game. I will cover subjects like world, powers and story later, I'm just going to say things like tone and whether it will be a SS sequel. Ok, lets start the list, here we go, (oh and suprisingly enough this is my opinion, if you disagree then fine, tell me in the discussion, but no negativity please). Oh yeah, just to mention, this will be a long bit of writing.
The ground rules:
.I know that the first thing on peoples mind will be, "SS sequel, original inFAMOUS sequel or brand new story?" well my answer is SS sequel AND brand new. Before anyone gets irritated, I don't want a SS sequel, but I think it's the most likely thing that SP will do, however I do want a brand new inFAMOUS, with a new story, new character and new powers. So what do I do? Well, I'm going to do both, first off, I will talk about a SS sequel, and after, I will talk about a brand new branch in the franchise. And before I get off this subject, I will explain why I don't want a sequel to the first and second inFAMOUS in a later section.
.My inFAMOUS would be dark, dark, dark. Sorry SS, but your tone was pretty pathetic, and the tone for inFAMOUS 1 was fantastic. So, it will be darker, with a darker story, less cheesy chacters, a dark world, darker quests and darker everything. For the SS sequel, it won't be quite as dark as inFAMOUS 1, but still very dark. The brand new game will be as dark as the first though.
.Ok, I'm going to say this once, COLE! WILL! NOT! COME! BACK! Sorry to sound aggresive but everytime I here people say (please read in 8 year old voice)"I want Cole back, the BEAST didn't really kill him, maybe the lightning bolt at the end of 2 ressurected him!", why, because it's stupid. I've whined about Cole in the 'next inFAMOUS in 2017' discussion, so if you want to know why this is stupid, read that.
Ground rules exclusevly for SS sequel:
.I think alot of things in SS was stupid. I just do. From some of the characters to the lore I really do not like it. But what annoys me the most is easily how some of it doesn't even make sense. So, (beware I'm about to make you salty), I will be re-writing SOME - not all - of the stuff in SS so it makes sense, and so Eugene isn't an offensive stereotype.
.I know that SS was planned to have powers like glass and wire, and that eluded powers like paper. So, will they be in my inFAMOUS, HECK NO. I want to distance the game from SS stupidity, and I'm sorry but those powers are pretty stupid. Put it this, if all the inFAMOUS conduits went to have a drink this would happen. "I control electricity!" "Cool!" "I absorb peoples powers!" "AWESOME" "I can turn into a freakin BEAST and destroy citys!" "UNBELIEVABLE!" "I make paper areoplanes!" "..." My point has been made.
. For those who botherd with Paper Trail, you may have realised there were a bunch of manga comics in it. Now, as someone who doesn't really like manga I didn't bother reading them. However, a guy on Youtube read them and deciphered what they mean. If you want to see the video, it's called 'inFAMOUS: the next chapter', but if you don't want to watch it, what the guy finds out is that Celia from PT, was an agent for Augastine, and now that she is dead, she will become the new leader of the DUP and instead of capturing conduits, she wants them to openly fight the millitary. Will I use this? Yes, but not to an extent.
Ok, I think I've said everything, and I've written for a long time. If I missed out anything, I will leave it in the discussion. Anyway, please discuss what you think, what your ground rules would be, and whether you liked my ideas. My next part will be on the SS sequel, and how the world in it works. Thanks for reading.
