Vampire Vision works a lot like the ability in Infamous 2 to detect conduits. This allows for quick travel around the city and can be upgraded to a powerful one-hit kill attack, at the cost of draining your new ‘blood meter’.
#INFAMOUS 2 FESTIVAL OF BLOOD WEAPON UPGRADE#
At the start of the game you have access to a few of Cole’s classic powers such as electric grenades and rockets, although you won’t be carrying over any unlocked abilities from Infamous 2 saved games (you can upgrade several of your abilities by completing specific tasks, however).Įarly in the game you acquire the ability to transform into a swarm of bats. The main changes are the new vampire abilities, which are few but powerful. This time around you’re confined to a single island of New Marais, but it's had a visual makeover, with demonic balloons, fireworks and costumed festival goers drunkenly wandering the streets.Ĭombat is largely unchanged from Infamous 2 - you still blast bad guys with electrical shocks from your hands, and slam them in the face with a charged-up melee weapon. Setting the game inside a cheesy, probably fictional come-on works pretty well - the vampiric goofiness that follows doesn’t really need to make sense or fit into the Infamous plot anywhere, and it allows Zeke to narrate.

In an attempt to woo her he begins telling a tale about himself and Cole taking on a legion of vampires, led by the cruel and ruthless queen, Bloody Mary. The game begins with the lightning-shooting superhero Cole McGrath's longtime best buddy and sidekick, Zeke, hitting on a girl in a bar.

Instead of picking up where the previous game left off, standalone DLC Infamous: Festival of Blood starts with a pick up line.
