InFAMOUS (series)/WMG: Difference between revisions

* It was explicitly stated (at least, if you chose the heroic path) that John was ripped to pieces by the Ray Sphere, so there wouldn't be much of a body (or anything, really) left to find.

** Both the good and evil paths say that the Ray Sphere rips John apart, and that both John and the Ray Sphere were "reduced to ashs".

** I've been thinking this could be the case. John is like Manhattan, except insane and evil. The ray sphere and him did vaporize, to some other place of existence where they merged, possibly the implied entity within the sphere hijacking John's body. That would explain his near godly powers, he's basically a walking incarnation of the sphere itself, an ever evolving force that jumps in power in leaps and bounds.

* This does actually make sense if you think carefully about it and compare it to events that have happened in ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]] 2''. Kessler's meddling with the timeline has caused the Beast to arrive earlier than anticipated. Judging by the fact, as stated in the first game, Kessler accelerated the construction of the Ray Sphere and upon use/destruction of it near the end of the game John is swept up in its vortex that nothing is left of him. Now picture this, the Ray Sphere has incredible power within it. Whether John snatched it away or was simply caught in the warp doesn't matter, the fact is he was drawn into its massive energy build up. This could mean he was merged with the Ray Sphere's incredible power and energy and thus warped into the monster that is the Beast. Combine this also with John feeling like he's been abandoned after his mission in Empire City plus being drunk on power or his mind warped to the point of insanity, it would make sense he's the blood thirsty destructive monster we know as the Beast.

== The Beast is Alex Mercer. ==

Sucker Punch secretly owns Radical Entertainment; [[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]] is the story of ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]''' true villain, and both games' sequels will be one crossover game.

** It may not be true, but there's some definite similarities between Mercer and the Beast. If you look at one of the images of the apocalyptic future that Kessler showed you, you can see a bunch of people impaled on spikes. That's one of Mercer's special moves in Prototype; though it might just be coincidence or a quirky nod on Sucker Punch's part.

 

Few characters in videogames are truly the embodiment of hates all life as well as Kratos, and fewer still canonically have the pure power needed to take this vengeance upon the world. Having destroyed his own world in God of War III, Kratos uses the threads of the sisters to find a new world to vent his terrible fury. He finds the modern world. That also explains the tough choices - given how Kratos regenerates magic, health and rage and gains experience from killing everything around him, the only way to stop him growing stronger is to kill them first.

 

* Well, to fill out the evil side, Kratos could probably take a trip to Hades to ressurect Liquid. Continuing with the [[Evil Counterpart]] theme, Crypto from [[Destroy All Humans!]] (alien with an ungodly aresenal of weapons) makes a good counterpart to Ratchet (ditto). Sackboy could simply be put against an "Evil" style sackboy. The only issue would be Jak's counterpart.

** Needles. A decidedly evil vehicle user.

* Confirmed and Jossed. Kessler's actions made the Beast appear sooner but left Cole strong enough to [[Heroic Sacrifice|do what was needed]] to win in the end and cure everybody.

 

If there isn't a clause in the [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game]] for WMGs involving AU versions, there should be!

 

 

== Someone at Sucker Punch is familiar with ''[[Fate/stay night]]''. ==

 

 

The Beast and the Black Beast are one and the same.

 

** Then he's definitely [[Just Hiding]]. Horray for high sales.

 

The natural purpose of the Conduit gene is an evolutionary failsafe - it enables species to survive massive die-offs by inducing powerful adaptations which can then spread from the resulting genetic bottleneck. It is triggered by massive numbers of the species dying over a short period of time - the Ray Sphere artifcially activates it with higher efficiency than normal, with thousands sacrificed to empower dozens - it's supposed to activate during [[Apocalypse How|extinction level events]], when ''millions'' die from the unforseeable. {{spoiler|Only all the Conduits are dead in the "Good" ending, and everyone else is dead in the Evil ending. Killing off Conduits means no adaptations, killing off baselines means no triggers. Thus, the human race is driven to extinction, save someone who travels back to the critical decision point in New Marais and modifies the RFI so as not to kill Conduits - though it still conveys the lethal intent behind the device to every Conduit, and the media spreads the word on how the plague was related to Conduits. Cole has to play peacemaker/protector - Professor X and/or Magneto - while preparing to face The Event.}} Evidence for this theory? There are animal Conduits. The gene is universal - it's ''supposed'' to be there. {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]].}}

* The ending of the sequal may avoid this fate because {{spoiler|Cole will be alive to carry on the Conduit gene in humans. As for the animals...Fuck.}}
