'We can do a lot more nuanced portrait of the city in ' he said. Griesemer added that Sucker Punch's in-game Seattle is an 'abstraction' of the real thing, but more grounded than the fictional cities of Empire City and New Marais. And when going to the PlayStation 4, we knew we would have the power to make a city that felt totally real.' 'We chose to set the game in Seattle because, well, we live here,' said Fox. And that's the thing - powers are why you're playing the game, not to take a trip to Seattle. 'And because it feels real, when you add in superhuman powers, you believe that they're real as well. 'You can see it when you walk around the streets of both the real city and our city in that they share identity,' Fox explained. InFamous Second Son however, takes place in Seattle, where Sucker Punch is based. The first InFamous was set in Empire City, a New York inspired metropolis, while the second game took place in the New Orleans-styled city of New Marais. We needed a new entry point, and Delsin was the first step for that.' This is going to be a different group of gamers than have played InFamous 2.'ДЇox added that, 'We want to make sure that it doesn't feel like are tuning in for the final season of some show that's been running for 15 years. It's going to be new hardware, a new platform and we're going to have a new audience. As we thought about it and talked to Sony, it made more and more sense.

Game designer Jaime Griesemer said that the decision to change the protagonist from Cole to newcomer Delsin meant that those who pick up Second Son on PS4 but haven't played the original games won't be missing out on too much. I'm glad we did it because вЂ¦ origin stories are the best part of superhero fiction.' We thought, well, in a game that has this strong connection to choice and consequence, that we'd honor that as a franchise. 'But the vast majority of the people went for the sacrifice. And when I wrote the endings, that's the one that had the coolest set up for another game. I'd been thinking that the next game would be one where he'd stayed alive. 'We looked at the trophy data from and in that game we gave players a choice if they wanted to heroically sacrifice Cole and kill him, or selfishly keep him alive at the expense of humanity. Speaking to Polygon, Fox said that leaving Cole behind was 'kind of a sad thing, but also great.' The studio has previously revealed that 80 per cent of InFamous 2 player opted for the good ending according to Trophy data. However, Sucker Punch was surprised when the majority of people choose to heroically sacrifice Cole instead.
