inFamous canon ending - HERE BE SECRETSCole defeats Kessler, vows to protect the city

inFamous 2 canon ending - HERE BE SECRETSCole sacrifices himself, and every other conduit in the world (even the non-activated ones carrying the gene) die on the spot

inFamous: Second Son starting point - HERE BE SECRETSstarts off seven years after Cole sacrificed himself, and the conduit/human "war" is still being fought

Is it just me, or did SuckerPunch not really think this one through?

Surely the most obvious - and best - option would have to gone with the HERE BE SECRETSinFamous 2 evil ending, where HERE BE SECRETSCole chooses to survive, all the conduits survive but the humans die out, and especially that considering some of the conversations you have with HERE BE SECRETSNix while playing through as HERE BE SECRETSevil and one of them is specifically about HERE BE SECRETSthe younger brother that Cole doesn't talk to anymore. At least this way you could have HERE BE SECRETSCole's brother carrying the gene and setting off to destroy Cole, who is now The Beast.

I haven't even PLAYED inFamous: Second Son yet, and already it's annoyed the piss out of me because SuckerPunch didn't follow the logical, albeit obvious, road and instead went down a completely different and seemingly pointless one. I'm sure it will play amazingly, but fuck me, at least continue the story instead of giving us an offshoot that makes zero sense.

Thoughts?

Is this actually within the same continuity, or is it a reboot of some sort? I would think that there's some retconning going on, considering that the game is set in Seattle instead of some alternate reality clone a la Empire City/New Marais.

Same world, seven years later, different location.

I'm following a few people on Twitter that are playing through the game, and I have yet to see this complaint. Maybe there's an explanation within the game for why this is, i.e. HERE BE SECRETSgov't reproduced the phenomenon and couldn't control it.

Its funny you say that, cos /v/ are spooging all over the place for this game, and the only person I seen raise this question was never ever acknowledged or answered.

There is no reason, no explanation. People just... forgot what happened last time.
