Infamous-skapernes neste spill skal bli enda penere!

Playstation 4-spillet Infamous: Second Son var underholdende på mange måter, men den store snakkisen etter lanseringen var grafikken. Infamous: Second Son viste nemlig godt hvilke krefter som skjuler seg i Sonys nyeste konsoll, og selv om utvikler Sucker Punch er fornøyd med jobben de gjorde på dette området sikter de fortsatt oppover.

Faktisk er de fast bestemt på heve listen ytterligere i det neste spillet deres, og derfor søker de etter nye folk som kan hjelpe til med denne prosessen. Detaljene (og tittelen) knyttet til det neste spillet er ukjente foreløpig, men stillingsannonsen lyder som følger:

Sucker Punch's physically-based rendering engine to create even more compelling and believable characters.
