Parker Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Apparently there is a 300MB day one patch for Second Son that adds quite a bit of content. N4G InFamous: Second Son's day one patch adds 19 new missions, 5 hours of additional gameplay 19 episodic bonus missions included in free InFamous Paper Trail content. By David Scammell (@VG_Dave) On 20th Mar, 2014 at 2:00pm InFamous: Second Son's day one title update will introduce a series of new episodic story missions that amount to around 5 hours worth of additional gameplay, Sucker Punch has revealed. The content forms part of a new 'Paper Trail' storyline, a side-story described by the developer as an "innovative online and in-game story arc" that sees players attempting to discover the full story behind the D.U.P.'s occupation of Seattle through a series of 19 new missions and corresponding "web-based investigations". Players will be given access to new content each week for six weeks, delivered directly via the game and, Sucker Punch suggests, enjoyyourpower.com. The content is said to have been co-developed by Sucker Punch and ARG company 42 Entertainment, and provides additional gameplay and backstory on the world of Second Son. On top of Paper Trail, the 300mb update also includes the Cole's Legacy Content Pack available for free to pre-order customers, as well as a variety of tweaks and improvements, including tweaks made to the difficulty, increased pedestrian and traffic density, and graphical improvements. InFamous: Second Son lands exclusively on PlayStation 4 tomorrow, March 21.

MoreTheVictim Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Cool, sounds great But I don't see why this has to be added as a day 1 patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonXilofin Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Don't believe the reviewers had access to it because I was watching one of the live streams the other day and he did not have access to paper trails Edited March 20, 2014 by LeonXilofin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Cool, sounds great But I don't see why this has to be added as a day 1 patch? I suppose it was content added after the game went gold so there as no way to include it on the disc while still keeping the release date.

zorry777 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Nice patch - so everything will become available in some weeks for everyone then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goekie Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Perhaps they were running short on time and therefore decided to patch the remaining content. Translating games and it's distribution may take up to 2 months or so. I'm just glad to see they're not charging anything for this extra content. Unlike a certain company that starts with an E and ends with an A that releases on-disc DLC on day 1 on a regular base and have its consumers pay extra for content they already own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Ah I think I see that. The game went gold, so they added new content, but since the game was close to launch (and probably shipped already) they couldn't change it directly on the game so it had to be a patch. I see it now, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenExotic Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 as long as the updates are free, they can keep patching it all they want! cant wait for my copy tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcbeanstr Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Oh man thanks for this bit of information I should install that thing soon then. So the coles legacy stuff is included in the patch not redeemable via a code or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackburnfan19 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 sounds like they listened to reviews since every complainant ive heard was addressed in that patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lporiginalg Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Really shows the age we live in where games are getting massive Day 1 patches. It's almost getting to the point where buying a retail disc is closer to buying a license to play a game then buying the actual game itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightSpira Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Awesome!!! More and more is never enough Just waiting to be release, already pre-ordered I'm so busy and extremely happy with Final fantasy X on vita, but I will play this on ps4, since I love this kind of game.

bel Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 remember that there is some content that just cannot make a release build. developers have to meet certain dates to get their product out on time for release in retail stores (often weeks in advance). But i think it is great that new content will keep coming out for a game like this. i watched Sly stream it earlier in the day and it looked awesome! cannot wait!

damon8r351 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 *squints* Can't tell if free "day one DLC" released in the form of a patch, or just another game released before it was completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 You won't hear me complaining about more content (especially if it's free) but hopefully they didn't increase the difficulty too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMS_Victor Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 When you think about it, it's kind of brilliant. Consumers complaining about no multiplayer get more content so they can play more. Also, by releasing it weekly, they're stopping gamers from trading it in for a while and possibly cutting used sales without annoying gamers.
