I really want to like this game as I haven't bought a single title for my Ps4 yet and am dying to pick up something worth playing.
Nothing about this game seems fresh or original and the graphics don't actually look that great so i'm not sure what all the praise is about. Technically they may be excellent but artistically it looks very bland imo. The only thing mildy interesting to me seems to be the destruction but i'm sure it's very limited as in most other games.
I will wait and see some review but i'm 99% sure this game is not my cup of tea which is odd seeing as third person action games are my fave genre. It just comes off as too generic to me and does absolutely nothing to pique my interest in it.

Why did you buy a PS4 with no games?

Quite honestly I don't know. They have been out of stock in Australia since launch and about a month ago a couple of my mates spotted one at EB Games here and they were both pestering me to buy it, so not knowing when stock would be readily available and I need a console down the track to play The Evil Within, Destiny and Evolve I thought I might as well grab it now.

How do you know it's not an intentional political statement?
a game that sells system, although the PS4 seems to be selling without any games
hope it sells well I like infamous
Are you buying it?
Agreed, Also I would like to know how are huds implemented in such a way they do not cause screen retention?
You must go deeper, go on........
An inFamous game wouldn't ever be a killer app, as much as I like the series. I just want another fun game in that series and that's what it seems like I'll be getting.

Honestly I doubt some will be able to be removed, since they all tell you something you need to know. Like the power bar shows how much power you have before you need to recharge, without it there is probably know way of knowing unless you run out.
I can't see them removing the karma thing either since it turns into a super thing, where you need to power it up to use the Ionic powers.
I don't disagree with having the ability to remove the UI I just can't see it being an option because you kinda need it to play.

Wow. Someone who can actually play the game with some dexterity makes it look so damn fun. Hype rising.

this has probably been asked and answered, but can anyone (viveks?) explain how the touchpad is being used in SS?
Thought this looked pretty funny
Smoke whirlwind!
The smoke effects look way better now than before. Colors are layered better and they flow better. Looked cheap at E3 but it got a huge bump up since then.
That's the bar that tells you what power you have and, yeah, it looks awful. They said recently that the UI wasn't finished so I'm guessing it'll get altered in a day 1 patch.

Agreed. The player here makes the game much more appealing. Looks like the city will be your playground.
Yeah with him he actually plays the game and not almost get killed on very easy like almost all those streams.
I love how he's dogging the bullets from the chaingun guy and just taking out people so fast.

A world so fucked up nobody cares if they live or die or if their car explodes or if the guy next to him is shooting neon shit.
Maximum dystopia.
Can my avatar get a beanie too please?
Tried my best to get the hood out of the way, but it's far from perfect so use if you like it.
I also hate parts of the hud on display here, especially the power meter. I do not think that it is the final version. These meters are designed by artists, and I doubt any of them over at suckerpunch looked at that meter and thought "wow this is really good looking". At least I would like to think that they don't think that a non-transparent black bar with a meter in it made with what looks like mspaint's spray tool looks good compared to the last games
Hud really has been my biggest problem with this so far.
Video of the soundtrack lead making the Looper soundtrack, interesting process....Im excited

It's not the design of the HUD that bugs me, it's the size. It's just way too big.
Reminds me of how the first Infamous' soundtrack was made. Loved that industrial sound.

That's great to see that it is the same gameplay style as IF1 & 2 which I enjoyed.
I was worrying about that it might be spin off/cut down infamous because of title name, not "Infamous 3" for example. KZ:SF (Tactical FPS) is another example, it isn't same as KZ series (Action FPS).

I don't want to sound racist but it always seems that it's Australians that have an issue with the PS4?
I think Sony's probably done with numbering for most of their series, outside of GT. A lot of publishers are just moving towards subtitles instead.

Thanks. You rock!
I feel like the previews for the first 2 gave the same feeling, but then in the games being good was just as fun and cool as being bad.
I feel the powers are pretty balanced. Well, have been in 1 and 2, I would assume SP won't botch Second Son.

Yeah! Let's not forget the amazing ice jump you got which was exclusive to the good side.
I'm sure there will be plenty of interesting incentives to playing as a good guy and vice versa as a bad guy.
How is he doing that
screen clear with the neon power? Is it the dash attack almost clap animation?

Yeah seem more coming like that. Have me confused with traditional where the non-numbering series are usually spin-off or expansion.
Wow, I don't know what you are looking at but to me this is 1st game on either next gen console that truely looks what I was expecting from next gen graphically. Man, I can wait to see a game that impress you grapically, that is going to be one beautiful game.
As far as looking generic, well I don't expect every game to reinvent the wheel. It always amazed me that Nintendo can release the same franchises over and over again with slight gameplay changes but I never hear anyone call their games generic.

You can thank Sucker Punch for not releasing information. I'm looking forward to seeing the ionic power attack of Neon. The censorship on those video made me even more curious.

Maybe someone can help me here real quick. If you preorder a game from PSN, when does the download commence, at midnight, near it, or the regular psn update time (Noonish)?
Also, where the flippin floop is that OT?
EDIT: All this time I thought the game was releasing on the 11th....

Was it censorship? was it?
I laugh if it's the actual thing, then I'll probably be depressed.

It is censorship, but not knowing makes it seem cooler!

I don't think they've confirmed whether there will be a midnight release or not (although I'm guessing there will be one). Although keep in mind if it releases at midnight its midnight PST so 3 AM EST.
Also I think the earliest the OT will be up is 1 week before the game releases so this friday, the 14th.
