Infamous: Second Son developer Sucker Punch Productions has confirmed that it's going to examine the trophy data of the new PS4 game, in order to see in what directon players will go, and then use the insight when creating the next title in the series.

Infamous 2 had one of two major endings and, when deciding what to do with the third title, Sucker Punch looked at the trophy data, which indicated that players favored one ending over the other. As such, the studio decided to continue that storyline with Infamous: Second Son.

For the new game, that same strategy will be applied, according to Sucker Punch's Nate Fox, who talked with VG247.

"We’re absolutely going to be looking at trophy data to see where we go next but I couldn’t tell you which trophies we’ll be looking at."

As such, it's going to be interesting to see just what choices players will make in the new PS4 game.
