14 DAY TRIAL // Infamous 2, the new open world title from Sucker Punch, has received a brand new update which brings plenty of new and interesting features for those who actively participate in the User Generated Content part of the game and make their own missions with the tools available in the title.
Infamous 2 offered a great experience at the beginning of the year with Sucker Punch allowing the hero (or villain, depending on your choices in the game) Cole McGrath to embark on some great adventures in the city of New Marais.
After completing the pretty lengthy main story, players can also engage in a variety of missions created by others, as Sucker Punch implemented a wealth of tools with which users can create their own content for Infamous 2.
Now, the studio has deployed a new update that focuses once again on the UGC part of Infamous 2, bringing quite a few new features, including two of the game's massive bosses, The Devourer and Titan, not to mention the ability to link up missions and create series of adventures that connect with one another.
"Everyone loves bosses and we are giving you two," Sucker Punch revealed about the update. "The Devourer and Titan are now placeable characters in UGC! These are mammoth characters that can be used in any way you can think of. Have the two be friends, have them fight each other, have them protect Cole."
"Shortly after the launch of Infamous 2 we started to see UGC mission series. Playing these missions in order was a little on the challenging side and we wanted to make it easier for the mission creators and the fans playing these missions, and Mission Linking does that! You can now select another mission as a follow-up mission. Just update the properties on the Mission Start in the editor and publish all the missions associated. Once they're all on the server you'll have a link series of missions. When a player completes the mission they will be given the option to continue directly to the next linked mission."
Other smaller features, like an improved mission review system have been added, not to mention tweaks done to certain characteristics of the missions, including:
- Relative Health. You can now change “Health” and “Cole’s Energy” modifiers as percentages. - Volume/Monitor Reset. New “Reset When’ option on Volume and Monitor logic objects lets you change how or when they can be reset after being triggered. - Author Mission Search. Search results will now display the level author’s name. Infamous 2 Update 3 will be downloaded automatically once you start up the game and have your PlayStation 3 connected to the Internet.
