Discussion - inFAMOUS 2 & Second Son My idea for an inFAMOUS sequel: The New Order Spoiler

I've been thinking about a sequel to inFAMOUS that continues the evil ending of inFAMOUS 2, where Cole becomes the Beast and establishes a world ruled by Conduits.

Set in 2026, inFAMOUS: The New Order would feature an alternate version of Second Son. Cole gives Augustine her concrete powers, allowing her to establish a stronger DUP, supported by Conduits who oppose his regime. Delsin's story initially follows the original game, but after Reggie's death, he turns to evil karma, kills Hank and Augustine, and becomes increasingly ruthless. Cole eventually recruits Delsin and Fetch, seeing their abilities as valuable assets to his regime.

The main protagonist is a 20-year-old who was recruited by Cole as a child during the events of inFAMOUS 2. After growing disillusioned with the regime, he leaves in 2023. Three years later, his dormant powers awaken: telekinesis,. He can throw objects, unleash kinetic blasts, manipulate his surroundings, and use debris in combat, but he isn't more powerful than Cole.

The game would have two karma endings:

- Good Karma: The protagonist fights to overthrow Cole and unite humans and Conduits. Both Cole and the protagonist die in the final confrontation, but Delsin takes leadership and continues the protagonist's ideals, building a society where both groups can live peacefully.

- Evil Karma: The protagonist seeks to replace Cole and establish a world ruled by Conduits, with humans treated as a subordinate population. However, Cole defeats and kills him, remaining the ruler of the world.

Both endings result in the protagonist's death, but their meanings are completely different: one creates hope for a united world, while the other preserves Cole's reign.

PD: For the telekinesis powers, I took inspiration from how this power looked in the Control video game and in the Chronicle movie (2012).

What do you think? I'm listening!
