inFAMOUS: Second Son Dev Reveal No Multiplayer, Plus More Info Shared

No Multiplayer Feature On inFAMOUS: Second Son  

January 26th, 2014, By Mont Brown

After recent rumors emerged of Infamous second son apparently getting a multiplayer feature, via an official Japanese website linked to the company. Brand development director Ken Schramm has clarified that this is not the case in an interview with the Taiwanese media at a game show event being held in Taipei, as documented by UDN.  

Schramm went on to say that Delsin Rowe the games protagonist will meet partners during the story, but inFamous Second son does and will remain a single player only game. Sharing a few more details during the Q&A session with local media, Schramm said the game has an open architecture enabling players to do side quests outside of the main story without time constraints. Schramm did warn however that players should still be careful of the decisions and choices they make during these side missions as good and bad choices will reflect on the overall outcome and once it is done cannot be replayed again. 

While no other powers apart from the ones we already know like smoke and neon have been revealed, Schramm did mention super powers will affect the environment and that the environment should also be considered another character within the world of inFamous Second Son. 

To create a sense of balance, Schramm informs us that Delsin will not be able to use different power elements all at once. There will be a monitoring meter so players won't be able to go over board without restrictions. 

The idea of a multiplayer would have been an interesting twist, but as Schramm confirmed today, that feature has not been included in the upcoming PS4 exclusive title, coming out this March 21st 2014.

Are you disappointed with no multiplayer functions on inFamous? Or do you think the best decision was to keep it a single player title? Let us know your thoughts and opinion in the comments tab below.
