I rather enjoy inFamous’ standalone DLC. Festival of Blood, the non-canon story of Cole’s transition to being a vampire was a bunch of fun, and now the PS4’s Second Son is getting its own standalone game. Revealed at E3, First Light focuses on somebody other than the cocky Delsin Rowe.
No, it instead is all about the adventures of Fetch, the lovely young purple-haired woman who’s the source of the neat neon powers that actually made Second Son fun to play. It’s coming as a bit of DLC on 27th August 2014 – but it now looks like it’ll be getting a disc-based retail release in September.
If you’re the patient sort who prefers a boxed copy, or the sort who has middling internet access, then this is probably the thing for you. It’ll be available on September 10, for the same price as the DLC.

You won’t need a copy of inFamous: Second Son to play First Light, but owning both will unlock a bit of extra content. If you don’t have Second Son, this will be a cheap way to see what on earth the fuss is about. Second Son is a breathtakingly beautiful game, even if its city does feel a bit lifeless and empty. Hopefully that’s a problem that’s resolved in this standalone content.

I don’t know why hollywood likes to put black men in a dress. At least Sam is not in dress but still.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the man of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger whose who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
in other words, Don’t support DRM

Sadly he was beaten to the role of Lightening by the closest person who was able to turn and make a SIGH like sound.

Been there done that, can’t be bothered with cash ins right now. Rather buy the main game if you haven’t played it yet. Worth every penny. I even played through it twice.
