How Infamous 2 Strives For A Cosmic Balance

by Ben Reeves on Feb 11, 2011 at 07:41 AM

Infamous 2 is a game that explores the relationship between power and responsibility. How is a person’s character tested when these two things are held in tension? Let’s take a closer look.

Sony just posted a bunch of details about Infamous 2’s Karma system on its blog. It sounds like Infamous 2’s morality choices are much richer than the choices in the first Infamous. Players will decide who to ally with. For example, do you choose to help Kuo with a surgical strike or side with Nix’s no-holds-barred assault?

To help demonstrate this system further, Sony posted two videos that show how missions can play out differently depending on your actions.
