Now, Infamous 2 itself is obviously fictional, but when I say Festival of Blood is fictional, I mean it is within the context of the Infamous universe. And so the fictional events of Festival of Blood begin in earnest, putting you in the role of Cole as Zeke narrates a story that he makes up as he goes along. But Zeke begins to spin a yarn about that comic book and his friend Cole, acting as if the comic's plot served as a lesson to Cole during real-life events. In fact, she makes fun of the fact that he's reading a comic book at the bar. At first, this woman is anything but thrilled while talking to Cole's buddy. Sitting nearby is a buxom woman that Zeke wants to impress. Zeke, Cole's best friend, sits at a seedy New Marais bar as Festival of Blood unfolds. In Festival of Blood, the main character is still Cole, but he's. In fact, you could conceivably play it without having any familiarity with Sucker Punch's franchise at all and still get something out of it.
But as you'll find out when you watch its intro, Festival of Blood doesn't tell a subplot that's at all important to your enjoyment of the game that inspired it. Throwing gamers back into the fictional New Orleans-inspired city known as New Marais, Festival of Blood takes place during the events of Infamous 2.
Initially announced at GamesCom in Germany this past August, Festival of Blood isn't Infamous 2 DLC per se, but rather a full game in its own right, one that you'll download directly off of the PlayStation Network when it's released on October 25.
There's little more Infamous fans could ask for from the Infamous 2 experience.īut it's this lack of a natural fit for DLC that makes Festival of Blood so fascinating. It tells its plot pretty well on its own, and regardless of if you took the good or bad ending (or both), you got a lot of bang for your buck in bringing Cole MacGrath through his second dedicated story on the PS3. Unlike some titles on PlayStation 3 like LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 or Resistance 3, Infamous 2 wouldn't strike many as a game that needs DLC.
