Chris Zimmerman, Sucker Punch Productions Development Director, announced earlier this week that inFAMOUS 2 doesn't have to end once you've completed the game thanks to the addition of user-generated content.
We thought inFAMOUS 2 would be better if it didn’t end—if you never ran out of missions and mini-missions to play and things to do. So… we spent the last two years adding a User-Generated Content feature to the game. With User-Generated Content, inFAMOUS 2 players can build new missions, then share them with the world. I think you’ll all quickly discover that while building missions is a lot of fun, seeing people play and enjoy those missions is even better!
If you want to bend the rules of inFAMOUS 2 to create new kinds of missions, you can do that too. Wish I2 had pure stealth missions? No problem, you can create stealth missions. Looking for more of a challenge? Try taking away some of Cole’s powers—see how the player does facing a platoon of Militia wielding only his Amp. Or add an old-school platforming challenge, or a race, or… I could go on all day.
It’s pretty easy to do missions that are more like mini-games, too. Skeet shooting? No problem. Disc golf? Assuming you’re happy tossing around cars instead of Frisbees, sure. How about a mission where Zeke just tells you bad jokes until you shoot him? Um, yeah, you can do that, too.
Other users will also have the ability to rate the user-generated content. Sucker Punch will be keeping an eye on the popular contributions and those that get high scores will be promoted to the Sucker Punch Featured Missions list, and those missions will end up just about everyone's copy of New Marais.
We think this is a neat opportunity for people to become famous for the missions they build. We know there are lots of creative people out there, people who love third-person action games like I2, and have great ideas about what they’d do with the game if they had the chance. Well, now we’re giving you that chance! Let’s see what you can do!
Zimmerman also announced that the public beta for inFAMOUS 2 will kick off next month. Sign up details will be coming March 14th.
