[Gamescom 2013] ‘Infamous: Second Son’ Gets A Shocking New Trailer
I’m a definite fan of the Infamous games, partly because of how fun developer Sucker Punch made getting around the world. Gliding from one building to the next and surfing power lines in the first two games never stopped being fun, then in Festival of Blood you could actually explode into a swarm of bats and fly around the world.
In Infamous: Second Son, we get to step into the stylish boots of a new super-powered protagonist, Delsin Rowe, who comes armed with smokey powers that look just as fun to cause chaos with. Some of these new abilities were shown off in a new Second Son trailer that just surfaced from Gamescom, which you can find after the jump.
Infamous: Second Son launches exclusively on the PlayStation 4 in February 2014.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
