Sucker Punch has announced plans to publish a new inFamous Second Son patch on PS4 tomorrow, April 17. As promised, the update will allow you to disable the HUD, adjust the time of day as you like (once you complete the game), and lock the frame rate at 30 FPS.
"To set expectations for you all: this is a frame rate cap — not a lock. It won’t eliminate the rare instance of a dropped frame during gameplay," Sucker Punch's Brian Fleming noted.
In addition to the features we already heard about, Sucker Punch has also thrown in a few surprises.
- A handful of localization text changes, and a couple of fixes for rare crashes in the game (Thanks to all of you who uploaded reports on those, they were extremely helpful!).
- If your controller runs out of batteries in the middle of gameplay, your game will pause. Our art director pulled a hamstring scrambling to get his second controller mid-boss-battle, so we needed to fix this.
- If you’re choosing expert difficulty, we let you know within the options dialog if you’re qualified for the “Unstoppable” trophy the moment you opt in.
- Photo Mode.
Enabling photo mode, as explained by Fleming, will grant you access to the suite of internal tools (like setting the depth of field) to take "even more amazing shots." You can access these internal tools by clicking L3.
