Near the beginning of the game Cole loses the Amp, which was a weapon that harnessed his electric powers into a deadly, brute force. There are only minor aesthetic differences this time around. Festival of Blood keeps the improved melee virtually the same. One of my favorite improvements in Infamous 2 was the melee. The only downside to the vampire powers is that to use them, you have to drink the blood of civilians. Shadow Swarm basically makes Cole’s parkour skills and Static Thruster power irrelevant. This power allows you to transform into a group of bats to fly long distance across New Marais.

One of the vampire powers that Cole gains is called Shadow Swarm. Also, since the game isn’t as large as Infamous 2, there are not as many upgrades and you cannot switch between them.Įven though there are fewer upgrades for Cole’s electrical abilities, he still gains new powers in Festival of Blood. Upgrades are obtained when you kill a certain number of vampires. Instead of unlocking powers by performing a specific stunt multiple times and then having to buy them with experience points, you are just given the upgrades directly.
#BUY INFAMOUS 2 FESTIVAL OF BLOOD UPGRADE#
In Festival of Blood, the upgrade system for powers has been majorly downsized. It’s okay though, since Festival of Blood is much shorter than its predecessor. This means that you only have about a third of the original map to explore. One of the major differences regarding the setting is the fact that you only get to run around the first area from Infamous 2. The city is decorated accordingly too, with straw “monsters” burning at the stake.

In New Marais it is Pyre Night, a festival where hordes of people, drunk or not, roam the streets dressed as monsters. This time around though, we have a date (kind of). Similar to Infamous 2, Festival of Blood takes place in the southern Louisiana city of New Marais. He must defeat Bloody Mary by the next day or else she will gain complete control over him and then the other citizens of New Marais. Since he was bitten, Cole is now a vampire. This allows blood to drip into Bloody Mary’s mouth, causing her to come back to life. He is then restrained by a few other vampires as one of them opens a vein on his neck. When he comes to, he is on top of the shriveled corpse of Bloody Mary, a female vampire. One of the women that Cole tries to help though turns out to be a vampire, who thusly knocks him out. Various people were injured after being trapped behind debris blocking their way out. He heard screaming, so he decided to help whoever was in trouble.
#BUY INFAMOUS 2 FESTIVAL OF BLOOD PS3#
Festival of Blood was released on October 25, just in time for Halloween and is a PS3 exclusive (just like the other Infamous titles).Īt the beginning of the game, Cole Macgrath is rushing through the catacombs of a cathedral. Infamous: Festival of Blood is the downloadable follow up to Sucker Punch’s open world game Infamous 2. Are you tired of sparkly, brooding vampires tarnishing the reputation of the living dead? Well then, you should get back to the basics with Infamous: Festival of Blood.
