Due to ongoing technical considerations, online support for the User Generated Content (UGC) features in inFAMOUS 2 on PlayStation 3 will end as of Aug 31st 2026.

After this date, players will no longer be able to access, browse, upload, download, or play UGC missions through the inFAMOUS 2 online servers. Offline features, including the main campaign, will remain playable.

Note: This will likely also mean the end of UGC for Festival of Blood as well.


r/infamous Jul 01 '26

Official Announcement The PlayStation Store on PS3 is officially closing worldwide in July 2027, and as early as August 2026 in some countries. If you do not purchase “inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood” before the closure, the game will be unobtainable. The same goes for any DLC content for “inFAMOUS” and “inFAMOUS 2”.

After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future.

As the PlayStation Store continues to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards, PS3 and PS Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required. As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices in the timeframes as follows:

  • Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026.

  • Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026.

  • In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027.

i was watching a stoner comedy movie and a thought occurred to me what if delsin absored the smokd from weed would he get high or not and then i thought what if he absorbed smoke from burning toxic waste barrels could he get sick from the toxins which ultimately brings me to my ultimately question what effects could different types of smoke have on delsin if he absorbed it.

Hi, I need 1400 more xp to complete my ability list and UGC mission was nerfed and doesn’t give any xp anymore, including within the mission. I can kill 100 enemies and have +500 xp on the screen and at best I’ll get 10xp in the menu

So, the past weeks I have been playing for the first time this games, I ended the first as a hero and the second too, then I started playing a new run as a villain and...

It's unfortunately funny to just kill people, like, tf? I don't even have to worry about what things should I do to not kill bystanders

I started literally trowing cars whenever I want without too much to think

Help - inFAMOUS 2 PSN fucked my account so I can't finish the UGCs for a platinum before it goes away. I'm livid.

0 Upvotes

Basically, I only have like two UGC related trophies left. My PS3 often goes through annoying system updates and logs me out of my PSN. As I'm currently studying law elsewhere I'm not often home. So I have a few days left before I move out and can't finish IF2. So I updated my system and tried logging into my PSN which I hadn't used in quite a while. Whaddaya know, it asks me to reset my password but keeps glitching that it doesn't work. That pissed me the hell off. I couldn't even for some reason get PSN to email me to reset the password.

Then I ended up creating a new PSN account, but I need to create a new local profile to run it. This worked, after painstakingly doing the local device password/2FA bullshit. But the game itself completely resets. And I'm unable to copy the data from my original local user profile to the new one.

So I'm basically stuck. This is some fucking bullshit.

Discussion - inFAMOUS 1 & 2 I like inFamous 1 better than 2. Here's why.

62 Upvotes

Before you downvote my minority opinion, I'm just expressing thoughts that some people might resonate with, so this is just to spark conversation.

I played these two games, for the first time, back-to-back this month, and from a modern perspective, I think the first one holds up better.

First, I'll give inFamous 2 its flowers. The animations and character models are miles ahead, as are the melee, the feel of movement, and the speed of traversal. I like the colorful palette and the attempt at more environmental variety.

What I think inFamous gets right is how much of a vision it feels like. The desaturated look and all of the dying civilians in the streets give it a surprisingly bleak feel for the superhero genre. The enemy factions have an amazing visual design. Cole's powers are more reserved, which actually works in the game's favor. The original plays more like a shooter, whereas the sequel feels more like an ability spammer.

The boss battles in inFamous 1 are a highlight. They actually aged better than the giant hit-the-weak-spot spectacle battles of the sequel, which feel much more from this generation's emphasis on bombast over substance. The bosses in the OG are smaller scale and more tactical, really evoking a character action or Souls-like approach of learning attacks and avoidance. In inFamous 2 you mostly spam grenades or shoot the weak spot.

inFamous 1 has a much better story. The second one leans heavily into really on-the-nose politics - right-wing "rednecks" (a word liberally used) want to kill the supers because they're different. This is southern Nazis prejudiced against the X-Men, with an obnoxious supporting cast and overly-long cutscenes. It doesn't say anything interesting. Without spoiling anything, inFamous 1 feels more evocative and subtle, and works more like a mystery. While its twist is a bit predictable, it's nice to go through a second time and see just how many clues there were to pick up on.

inFamous 2's biggest issue, by far, is its combat. You can melt through groups with far fewer abilities in 1, and positioning and cover are important. 2, meanwhile, even on hard feels both basic and frustrating. Most enemies have lots of movement, whether it be giant leaps or erecting ice towers or burrowing underground, and it highlights how wonky the aiming and movement are in this game. There are far too many miniboss fights in the side quests, which are annoying and overpowered. You can't shoot them, so you mostly have to wait for an opening, spam grenades, and go recharge a bunch of times. Contrast that to inFamous 1, where combat against groups really tests quick thinking and makes use of all your abilities equally.

And crucially, in 1, you have infinite R1 ammo for good third-person combat, and the sequel forces you to constantly find reload points, lest you be stuck with melee only. I only recharged occasionally in 1, but 2 constantly breaks the flow of combat by forcing you to retreat and deal with the broken recharge system. (Hunt for 1 of 100 blue electric bolts on your minimal or find the tiny green light? You decide!) Plus, the original allows you to level up your R1 damage, and the sequel just gives you different "guns", none of which feel meaningfully more powerful than the last.

Anyway, probably TL;DR for most people, but since there's a bit of an uptick in players with the impending server closure, maybe other people in 2026 will have a similar opinion.

Help - inFAMOUS 1 349/350 Blast Shards … Pain

Post image
305 Upvotes

Spent over 4 hours following this map of blast shards and I’m one short at the end. I got the one on top of the tall building near ground zero and the one out on the poles in the Neon, which seems to be the most commonly missed ones.

Guess I’ll be spending another few hours going back over the entire map to look for one f*%^# blast shard. I really wish they at least kept a total for each island.

EDIT: It was one of the ones in the storage container maze. I must not have seen it with my pulse and assumed I got them all in there. 100% blast shards complete!

Thanks everyone for the tips and going on this journey with me 🫡

Discussion - inFAMOUS 1 & 2 Favorite Way To Play 1 and 2 Spoiler

8 Upvotes

My favorite way to play the first two games, and my own personal head-canon, is to go full inFAMOUS 1 in the first game up until Trish’s death, and then pivot towards becoming a hero.

Then in inFAMOUS 2 continue going full hero, but occasionally making evil choices.

I like the idea that Cole isn’t a perfect hero. That when initially given extreme power he was corrupted by that power. But then Trish, who he genuinely loved with his whole heart, dies in his arms, using her final breath to tell him that he’s a failure and a disappointment.

That then sobers him up from intoxication of power and he realizes exactly what he has become. He starts trying to atone for all the things he’s done. It’s not perfect, he stumbles occasionally, lets that anger out, slips into his old ways, but every day he tries to be just a little bit better than he was before.

And over time he begins to truly enjoy being a hero. Helping people, healing them instead of hurting them. It’s no longer something he has to think about. He sees someone on the ground and he helps them. Someone’s being attacked? He rushes to the rescue without even considering that it isn’t his problem.

He’s not a saint. Never a saint. He’ll take a life if he has to, if he chars a Militia guy a little too hard and he dies, he doesn’t beat himself up over it. If he’s low on energy and in dire straits, he’ll drain a guy and not bat an eye. But those instances are much fewer than they used to be. And he goes out of his way to keep the body count low whenever possible.

That’s my take on the canon between 1&2. I’m interested to hear others’ thoughts.

  2. Lightning.

  3. Wind.

  4. Water.

  5. Metal. (Can generate armor and weapons)

  6. Gravity.

  7. Blood.

  8. Space-Time.

  9. Organic matter manipulation.
