i don't think that's electricity. looks like particle or gas power, maybe he can shoot laser beams with it?

Don't take the particle effects literally, he's just absorbing electricity.

 

[Pound_lb003]

They said they wanted different and urban influenced powers.

So I doubt it's electricity, it probably is neon, or light, as opposed to electricity.

 

[kpaadet]

What kind of power is he absorbing?

Neon? The power to be all colorful!

yeah, I think it's neon, or if you prefer, plasma.

[catapult37]

I thought they had confirmed for February on E3.

Well, this sucks.

It's only ever been stated that it's "early next year" or possibly Q1. We all know what that means. My guess is April, barring any delay.

I agree that the wait sucks, because IMO next gen doesn't start until I walk out of a store with a PS4 and this game.

I still strongly suspect that electricity will be the final power set you get in the game.

 

[Acquiescence]

Neon? The power to be all colorful!

Not to mention dazzling and fabulous.

 

[fantomena]

Game looks and sounds better for every time I see gameplay. And I was never really hype for Second Son when it was announced.

Love the flame shooting sound.

Re:Controller, has anyone said yet what the quality of the controller speaker is like? I hope it's at least better than the Wiimote.

Hahah... Is that for story reasons more than anything else?

 

[VanWinkle]

I don't THINK anybody has mentioned it yet. I hope it's better than the Wiimote, too, although I'm just excited we're getting it. I actually really liked the speaker feature of the Wiimote.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Game is ridiculously good looking.

 

[Spongebob]

This game looks incredible.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

This game is a win in all corners

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

This game blows away all the other so-called "Next-gen" titles.

 

[Psychoward]

Those particle effects and shaders are absolutely insane, and with how smooth the framerate and gameplay seems to be.... Can't wait for 2014.

 

[SneakyStephan]

It looks very nice.

Fuck the controller bollox talk though, jesus christ.
'you don't want to be thinking about the controls', yes thank you that's why I use a mouse not a shitty analog stick.
'it's so precise you can keep the reticule on the enemy' -> fails miserably at keeping the reticule on an enemy that isn't even moving.

At least the pretty game graphics and seeing some gameplay made it worth watching. The textures seem quite nice too.

 

[Demon Ice]

I don't think it's either. He's taking the heat that emanates from those neon lights. His power is heat-based (smoke, fire, etc) thus it makes more sense that what he absorbs is the heat from the neon lights instead of the light itself.

Smoke and fire is just one of his abilities. His power is to absorb the abilities of other Conduits. This light sapping power is from a different Conduit than his original smoke/fire powers.

 

[Persona86]

Smoke and fire is just one of his abilities. His power is to absorb the abilities of other Conduits. This light sapping power is from a different Conduit than his original smoke/fire powers.

Basically Peter Petrelli.

 

[sirap]

Basically Peter Petrelli.

Or his dad, depending on what happens to the original source after he absorbs the power.

 

[MrCow]

tried out the controller today at gamescom ... and it feels sooooo great!

just the perfect size and weight, everything is easily reachable and the sticks feel accurate and tight - best controller ever (so far ;D)

to bad there wasn't a playable demo of infamous but some developer did a playthrough while we waited to play the other game demos for PS4

 

[Joeki11a]

More time for polish and content.

Less consoles sold at Launch...

 

[Leucrota]

Getting some Red Faction Guerilla vibes (destruction) from the game which makes me stoked.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Less consoles sold at Launch...

I really doubt that they're going to struggle to sell consoles at launch. This should hit right around the time when they'll need additional games. Sony knows really well what happens when you throw a ton of games into a launch (Vita).

 

[Joeki11a]

When I see complaints like this, I have to ask myself what exactly are you looking for? Does every new generation of hardware need to come with completely new gameplay? I only ask because I don't think I'd want that. Taking what I know and LOVE and making it look better, play smoother, have a more dense world, etc... THAT is what I want. I don't want "How in the hell do I play THIS?!?!" I know you've said you're sad this isn't a launch title which I take to mean you like what you're seeing, but I'm pretty sure most people would be disappointed if all the new games for the new systems played completely differently than the games they loved from this generation.

Ultimately, I think it's about refinement, not redefining...

Yes?

GTA IV was completely different than GTASA
GTA V is completely different than GTA IV
thats how you push the brand forward.

This new guy moves exactly like Cole both versions, in that gameplay at E3 it was clear
they were not going to evolve the series just
change what people critic the most,character design once again. With the power they got now thats easy to fix as you see new Guy is like a real person not a gamey character.

I am just saying the assets of animations when shooting and moving around for Second son clearly are from the past games, just like I can notice old ass animations in the new WWE games

 

[Mifune]

Yes, all they're doing is changing the character design. No new powers or anything, nope.

 

[B.O.O.M]

What if he is chosing what to absorb?

That woul explain why only certain lights are absorved and others not.

Or maybe he likes the owl and don't want to take the light off him lols.

Exacta! I think he will be able to absorb the owl separately as well

 

[Joeki11a]

Yes, all they're doing is changing the character design. No new powers or anything, nope.

Thats expected man but I am saying go play
infamous 2 and go see second son E3 gameplay, look how it looks when he is moving around shooting... Its the same thing as Infamous 2, it should evolve from that.

 

[Joeki11a]

I really doubt that they're going to struggle to sell consoles at launch. This should hit right around the time when they'll need additional games. Sony knows really well what happens when you throw a ton of games into a launch (Vita).

I know lots of co workers that are waiting for this to get a Ps4, they aint getting it for shooters sports games that can be played on current consoles

 

[Arc]

Since this isn't launch, I want SP to take their time and hold out until it's perfect.

 

[True Underdog]

I said GOD DAMN

 

[Romez]

I'm really fond of night time settings of open world games. I always prefer night time in GTAIV because of all the lights especially when it is raining (light is reflected everywhere). Is Infamous Second Son going to have weather variety?. I believe that is one thing the previous games were lacking.

If it rained in Infamous, Cole would die. (lol)

 

[Mr.Fresh]

God damn at this game. This is the game that will propel sucker punch into a Tier 1 developer.

 

[MercuryLS]

Amazing. This screams next-gen. Love seeing how the DS4 will work with the game, some cool uses for the touchpad.

 

[redtails64]

When the first trailer was released for this game, I couldn't care less. Now that I've seen more, It's become the one game I want to play the most. It's so beautiful...

 

[JJDinomite]

I love this game, and what Sucker Punch is doing. In an age where day one DLC, gimmicky motion controls, and sub-par "story-driven" games rule the market, it's nice to see a game like Second Son. Open world, fun as hell, no bullshit. Just setting enemies on fire, jumping through a ventilation shaft, and flying away. Getting a PS4 for this game.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

This has been my most anticipated next gen game since the PS4 reveal. Not only does it look amazing, but it looks fun as hell to boot.

edit: And I didn't notice earlier that it was raining in that gif. God damn.

 

[badcrumble]

I'm going to be curious to see if there's any replacement for the ability to grind along metal surfaces in the first and second games.

Also, do we know yet how you switch Delsin between power sets? Presumably by using the dpad, yes?

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

I can't wait to play this... I just can't!

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

That gif seriously looks amazing. I imagine it will return quite a lot in future threads.

 

[Pojo_King]

Neon? The power to be all colorful!

The colors DUKE! The colors!!!!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Oh my gawd.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

If nothing else, I'm glad developers have (seemingly) made a concerted effort to include color in a lot of the games we've seen so far across all systems. Hopefully grey and brown are on their way out.

 

[Lonestar]

Damn, and I thought the particle/"Whatever" effect from the smoke trails from attacks/teleporting, were cool. This adds sweet lighting effects and light reflection. Just an incredible looking game.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

That gif seriously looks amazing. I imagine it will return quite a lot in future threads.

Like another poster here said, directly into my veins Infamous gif is born.

 

[matrix-cat]

If the triggers on the DS4 don't feel very good, I really hope we have the option of just using L1/R1 for shooting and the like. Honestly, I really hate the way triggers feel on most controllers. I prefer the feel of just pressing a button. Seems way more responsive during gameplay.

I agree, I prefer L1 and R1 on the PS3 to the 360's triggers for shooting. I'm really glad the DS4's getting proper triggers, but I still hope PS4 games have the option to flip the shoulder buttons.

 

[ThisWreckage]

I'm actually glad this isn't a launch title because SP won't have to rush when it comes to completing the game. I also think that releasing the game in Spring gives it some time to breathe on its own. The first batch of consoles were going to sell out either way---this game has the potential to be a system seller to round two and round three consumers.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I GOT IT.

He has some type of ghost writer powers. Taking light from the letters and words...

ok, i have no idea.

 

[Samyy]

I know lots of co workers that are waiting for this to get a Ps4, they aint getting it for shooters sports games that can be played on current consoles

Doesn't really matter since both PS4 and Xbox are going to sell out this Winter
