The game features new characters and powers and a new comic cutscene creation for the main game InFamous 2's user-generated content (UGC), as well as support for the PlayStation Move controller. The story is set aside from the canon aspect of the InFamous series, being a spoof told by the main protagonist's friend Zeke Dunbar and follows the story of Cole's gradual transformation into a vampire. Festival of Blood is an expansion in the InFamous series based on the InFamous 2 engine and map, but does not require a copy of InFamous 2 in order to play. Obviously it’s not as long as a full Infamous title and one of the main elements (player choice re: Karma) is missing but Infamous: Festival Of Blood is well worth a playthrough.InFamous: Festival of Blood is an action-adventure standalone downloadable content video game developed by Sucker Punch Productions for the PlayStation 3 video game console. It seems crazy to me that you don’t need a disc to run it but Sucker Punch have done a great job here.Ĭlocking in at under 4 hours and with a price tag of £7.99, I’d recommend this to anyone. This is a fantastic downloadable game, one of the better ones I’ve seen – certainly in terms of scope/gameplay. Cole can then attack the Vampires with a one hit kill if you’re close/quick enough.

Slightly troubling after I’d played through Infamous 2 as a hero but it’s set me up nicely for my second playthrough as an evil Cole 🙂Ĭole can also use a type of Vampire radar that allows him to enter an x-ray vision mode – normal humans are shown with red internal organs and a beating heart while fellow Vampires in disguise are just a blue skeleton. You’ll need blood to activate this ability though and Cole is able to feed on the citizens of New Marais as often as you need/like. If you’ve played either of the Infamous games previous to this you’ll find yourself in familiar territory as Vampire Cole parkours his way across the terrain of New Marais… but there is a nice twist in traversal because Cole can now transform into a swarm of bats to travel extremely quickly over the city. While investigating screams from the catacombs under a church, Cole is bitten by Bloody Mary herself and he only has until sunrise to find a cure. The game takes place during ‘Pyre Night’ a festival held in New Marais every year as a way of warding off vampires and celebrating the death of ‘Bloody Mary’ – a vampire allegedly burnt at the stake long ago. The story is told by Zeke, Cole’s friend, as he looks to keep a woman in a bar interested in him. Having thoroughly enjoyed both Infamous and Infamous 2, I was really interested in seeing what Sucker Punch would come up with for this stand alone downloadable game (which doesn’t require a copy of either game to play).įestival Of Blood tells the story of Cole’s night as a vampire.
