While the blast shards of the old games are no where to be found, they have been replaced with small canisters of blood which you need to collect in order to increase the amount of human blood you can harvest and store. Instead of seeking out “dead drops” or recordings that fill you in on the lore and backstory, you will trackdown glyphs which reveal the narrated teachings of Bloody Mary. Goodbye powered amp and hello sharpened crucifix.Įverything about the game falls directly in line with the standard inFAMOUS formula little to nothing has changed. We all know that the only way to truly dispatch a vampire is with a wooden stake through the heart and that is just what you will be doing here. You will also be utilizing vampire vision which is used to identify demonized civilians amidst the crowds and a a newly acquired wooden stake which will be used to dispose of those less-than human individuals that you encounter. Cole can now fly around the city by transforming into a flock of bats. On the other hand, you do gain a variety of new abilities thanks to the transition into becoming a vampire that you are currently undergoing. There just won’t be variations of those powers though no explosive grenades, no zoom targeting to snipe enemies with bolts of electricity, and also no opportunities to launch yourselves skyward. You have your grenades, shoves, and lighting firing abilities and they will be improved upon slightly over time. This adventure though limits you to the main island in the town you won’t be able to cross the bridge(s) into the suburbs and visit some of the other areas that you traveled to in inFAMOUS 2.Ĭole still retains a majority of his powers that were earned in his recent adventure but you cannot switch between them as you could previously. Cole will travel around New Marais seeking out missions which will advance both the story and the improve Cole’s powers. At the heart of the adventure is the same inFAMOUS gameplay and themes that fans know in love. The adventure takes the main game, minus a bit of the detail and complexity and throws in decorations and traits from various vampire lore. If you want me to describe the game in the simplest means possible, you could call the game a scaled down version of inFAMOUS 2 with Halloween decorations. Cole had a single night to unravel the tale of Bloody Mary and of Pyre Night in order to stave off eternal damnation. Once she was brought back to the world of the living, Mary sunk her teeth in to Cole in an attempt to claim his soul as her own for eternity. If you are going to appreciate this chapter of the game, then you have to appreciate Zeke and his ultimately “good” intentions.Īccording to Zeke’s tale, Cole was once abducted by a group of vampires who used his powerful, conduit blood to resurrect the long-dead Queen of the Vampires, known as Bloody Mary.
#INFAMOUS 2 FESTIVAL OF BLOOD PRICE SERIES#
There is no doubt that there is a Pyre Night celebrated in New Marais, and Cole likely had an adventure or two or perhaps intervened in a series of events during the festival when Zeke tells the event(s) though, the story evolves into an exaggerated tale of the undead and ancient curses that have come back to life. You know Zeke, he has an uncanny ability to make an elaborate story out of the most mundane event(s), especially when a beautiful woman is involved. Despite the appearance, this isn’t meant to be taken as canon in the game world you are basically playing through the events that Zeke is describing to a young woman he is trying to pick up in a bar. Sometimes you / Cole, just wish he would keep his mouth shut but then again, you aren’t sure what you would do without him by your side every step of the way.įestival of Blood (FoB) is a tongue and cheek tale set in the inFAMOUS universe. The thing about Zeke is that although he means well, he ultimately creates as many problems as he helps resolve. Cole’s best friend and sidekick is an integral part of both the inFAMOUS lore and Cole’s life. True fans of the inFAMOUS series will tell you that Zeke Dunbar is as important to the games’ formula(s) as Cole McGrath himself. Oh Zeke, what are we going to do with you?
