InFamous 2: On Its Way?

Posted by Robert in Console, News, Sony | 1 comment

Yeah you read the title right. We have reason to believe that Sucker Punch are gearing up to make the sequel to the electrifying InFamous. Considering it’s been nearly a year since the original release it’s about time that we saw some sign of the game. Maybe at E3? But what speculation has us posting this randomly? Well Sucker Punch have posted four, count ‘em, four job posting on their website:

Game Designer – Systemic Content

Can you make fun? Do you have that rare ability to string together a handful of game mechanics into a cohesive mission that makes people’s palms sweat? If so, let us give you money! Come work your magic here at Sucker Punch.
We’re searching for a designer with a background in 3D that’s very comfortable in Maya and has an artist’s touch. This person will be hired to fill out the systemic landscape: placing enemies, ambushes, patrol paths, etc. This person will be fundamental in creating the interactive bed rock of our next title by elegantly leveraging both the level geometry and systemic actors.

Texture Artist

Are you a texture artist who can push the limits of our PS3 engine and shader technology? We’re looking for an artist gifted at creating texture maps and surface shaders that transform gray 3D models into lush game environments and richly detailed characters.

Network Programmer

We are evaluating focused, easy to work with, and professional candidates to implement the on-line component for our forthcoming AAA title. We seek bright, energetic, and talented individuals who share our love of videogames and our passion for creating innovative and fun experiences. This job will involve both client-side and server-side work, and will be done primarily in C++.

Concept Artist

We are looking for a concept artist to support our environments team. To qualify you must be a highly creative and talented digital illustrator with experience in the creation of interactive games.
Our ideal candidate has advanced digital painting technique as well as mastery in the ‘traditional’ technical and artistic skills of composition, color theory and draftsmanship.

A job opening was posted on an external website a few months back leading to more speculation about InFamous 2 but nothing surfaced. Will this revelation prove to be true? We’d love your thought.
