inFamous: About Red

OVERVIEW

A massive explosion rips through six square blocks of Empire City, annihilating everything and everyone in its path. Everyone, that is, except for one man: Cole MacGrath not only survived the blast, he’s been transformed by it. From the creators of the award-winning Sly series, Sucker Punch brings you inFAMOUS, the first open-world action-adventure title exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3 system.

Experience what happens when a normal person suddenly begins to develop super powers. Will you go on a mindless rampage, choose to protect the innocent or do a little of both? Those are the questions you will face while immersed in a richly interactive and organic living city, a place where actions create broader reactions in the citizens and landscape around them. inFAMOUS lets players unravel an evolving mystery, experiencing fame and infamy and battling powerful, iconic villains … all the while feeling what it is like to become a modern day superhero.

STORYLINE

Cole MacGrath, an everyday guy, sets out to deliver a package in the downtown area of Empire City. When the package explodes, devastating much of the metropolis, Cole barely escapes with his life. In the aftermath of the blast, riots erupt and the city collapses into chaos, overrun by powerful criminals. Empire City is quarantined by the government and television broadcasts begin to link Cole to the scene of the crime. Cole is now a wanted man, but he’s also wielding extraordinary powers as a result of the explosion.

As an evolving mystery unfolds, Cole must learn how to control his newfound super powers, track down who was
really responsible for the blast and prevent Empire City from descending into complete anarchy.
