Infamous Second Son first screens

I just hope they improve thier character design for this, I have much respect for Sucker Punch but dam thier characters are awful. Nix in Infamous 2, yea need to do better IMO.
 
What the.. He looks nothing like Brandon.

Watch the Drive video. The main character looks like a slightly heavier version of him from the Make Yourself and earlier era.
 
I must agree with this. I tend to dislike smug people... or jackasses. Especially those that rebel against "authority" yet or unconsciously complicit in it.

I hate to break it to you but this game is about rebelling against draconian authority.

Also rebelling against the establish order, after a long train of abuses, is the opposite of being complicit. Obviously everyone benefits from society, but the point of a civilized society is to promote human freedom and happiness. Read the declaration of independence.
 
I hope Sucker Punch doesn't cave and change their character design again because of the "douchey" whining. Delsin looks fine.

By complicit I meant what he is wearing and probably how he consumes... and most likely the things he takes for granted. True revolution from authority is a complete breaking from its creations or the less radical reappropriation and repurposing of its mechanisms. I am not sure he wants to destroy the system which gave him his fancy designer clothes and ultra cool beanie. Also... we have no idea what offense this regime has commited... nothing suggests draconian rule of law (punishment that does not reasonably line up with the infraction)-. All we know is that people are "watched...".

I was merely pointing that most "rebeliousness" is concentrated on the superficial sentiments (that means the most tangible and easily to direct rage at) without actually considering what the core form of domination is or where it comes from.
More often than not it is not only some sort object of authority (government, church, cultural institution, etc..) but also some systemic mechanism...

And your recommendation to read the "declaration of independence" confuses me. There are surely more relevant and contemporary sources concerning social justice and rebellion against authority.
 
Infamous is one of my favorite franchises but even I have to admit the main character looks like a douche. And I said that before I even scrolled past the first screens to see other responses.

It's probably safe to assume that the main character is justified in his rebellion because of some unfair punishment being enforced upon himself or society.

I understand your point about misdirected rebellion, but I really didn't know what you were suggesting with your other post.

Also I said read the dec of independence because my post made several references to it, and it's actually very relevant today. Although I would actually recommend John Locke's second treatise on the civil government, as most of the ideas (and phrases) came from Locke.

I believe they said they are just locking up anyone who has abilities regardless of whether they have used them or not, or even know they have them yet. That's what the scanners are for.

So yeah, not a fair punishment.

Oh right. It's suppose to echo the post 9/11 era when Muslims were being locked up indefinitely, without trial, for no reason. Which is un-american.

The main character being Native-American makes things even more interesting.
 
It does make me think that the more recent Watch Dogs footage is just how games bordering between generations will look and that this ones exclusively for next-gen will look this good and continue to look better. But I still want to see game ass gameplay
 
He reminds me A LOT of Jared Padaleck, Sam Winchester, just different eyes.


Not gonna post a pic as I can't find a good matching one.
 
I can't WAIT to see Delsin's animations.

Cole was so beautifully animated in Infamous 2.

Gotta hand it to Sucker Punch and whoever runs their mocap/animation team.
 
He does look like a douche, which is good. I want to play as a guy who enjoys having superpowers, unlike Cole who feels they are a burden.
 
I'm the only one that liked Cole.

I liked cole a lot in infamous 2, in the first game he didn't really have much character other than "I'm so gruff I can't openly care about anyone". I think that Cole honestly had more character growth during infamous 2 than most characters see over a trilogy.

infamous 2 was one of my favorite games of this generation because it felt like a very complete package.

Also I'm like 99% sure that Delsin is modeled off Troy Baker, his VA.
 
Fantastic character model -- very impressed. Next gen is going to be pretty impressive.

I mean there's a difference, but not much without looking in detail. At a glance, I'm not saying "wow".

Also, the guy looks like such a bell end it makes me want vomit in his face.

I disagree -- the difference is staggering. One looks cartoony while the other looks nearly photorealistic. The texture improvements are off the charts.
 
I think he looks completely fine, but I really hope they don't push the whole arrogant/reckless attitude thing too far. Having a confident character is great, but more often than not, they just become a caricature of what the developers were actually intending.
