This week, Sucker Punch Productions’ Second Son is up for another gong at the VES Awards in LA. We published an article on fxguide some time ago about about this third game in the inFAMOUS series and in particular the particle effects. But in addition to the great effects simulations and animations, the game has a very strong face animation pipeline. The new hardware of the PS4 allowed a jump in quality and facial animation which makes the game incredibly visually impressive. This, coupled with a strong narrative, has made Second Son one of the most successful games on the PS4, and it regularly rates as one of the most popular in polls of PS4 users.
