I2 is even better. In I1 your momentum after jumping off a grindable object made it so Cole could only use Static Thrusters to move forward. I2 fixes this and it makes a huge difference.
That, and the improved Static Thrusters in general. I2 may have the best movement of any 3rd person action/adventure game ever. It's at least top 5.

Yeah, but damn... that camera... Also I hate having to put away the amp before I can use blasters.

To preface this complaint, I'll say that this game is really, really good. So much is improved from the first game and they managed to make the fun parts more fun.
Now the complaint: the camera and general vision is whack and bad and I don't get it.
For a game where you're getting shot at from all directions, the camera is pulled in so close when you aim that it feels suffocating. I don't remember Infamous feeling this claustrophobic. What bothers me is when you aim in mid-air, you have this nice pulled back camera and I wish the entire game was like that.
It gets worse when you're in combat because getting knocked back throws the camera for a loop. Like, one second you're zoomed in behind Cole's back, and the next you're zoomed out and looking at him staggered from the front. It's disorientating. And again, it gets worse when the screen gets black and white. I just want to see what's going on and it feels like the game doesn't want me to.
There is also the melee camera and how disorientating it is to switch from that to shooting again. I just don't get why it's so zoomed in. What really got me was the
and how it's zoomed in when you use it. It's an issue Infamous 1 didn't have and one of the very few parts that is worse in Infamous 2.

Hm... camera didn't really seem like much of a problem to me from my few runthroughs of the demo. Of course, camera/controls never seem to be an issue for me at least 95% of the time (in any game).
Also, I remember seeing people talk about this a few pages back but can't quite find the post (or I'm just too lazy to look for it):
Thrusters were on R1 in the original and that is still where they are in the sequel. You could never fire with R1 when using them, but in both games you can launch your grenades, rockets, and shockwaves as you normally would while still thrusting.

Just beat the game, I had a blast with it, the second to last power was the highlight of the game for me. I thought the final battle was cool albeit limited in terms of strategy. Good ending. I still wish the game had more enemy types. All in all it was real fun and they made this game waaaaay more fun than the first. I2 is just the better game. Im going to hold off on my second playthrough for like a couple of months so I can have a whole new experience waiting for me.
I cant wait until there is a spoiler thread so we can talk about it freely.

I wanted to force myself through the first game since I didn't like and perhaps try this one but all I've been hearing it's the same thing relying more on combat and less on the story, while one of my concerns of the first one is how the combat got stagnant after a while. I guess I'll have to wait for the bargain bin.

What's this 'inFamous 2 Blue Soundtrack' that on the PS Store? Is this the soundtrack that comes with the Hero Edition?

Anyone who has the game already know where I can find the last side mission on the southeast of the first island? SPOILER:
I just beat the big monstery Bertrand and went over to Floodtown, but there is still a small section by the swamp that I haven't cleared yet.

I read the Gamespot review and while I haven't played the game yet of course I can totally understand a lot of the complaints. Either way, I cannot wait to open my Hero Edition!
Anyone know if there is a Kevin Butler ad for this game? I keep seeing the inFamous 2 ad with all gameplay but damn it I want to chuckle =(
The one that comes with the Hero Edition is the Red Soundtrack, iirc.

Situations like that, either the mission pops up later in the story or you have to beat the crap out of a random group of enemies and investigate one of their corpses for a bonus mission to clear that part of the map up.brucewaynegretzky said:

Funny enough, there was one when I went to see X-Men First Class, it played before the movie. Unfortunately, the commercial wasn't that great.Square Triangle said:

Anyone know where the last dead drop is?
that's vague because they're scattered around, but is the last one available at some point in the story? I've looked around and can't find it.

Don't know. I've looked around and only have one left.
Finding blast shards is way easy compared to infamous 1. I didn't even bother with the blast shard finding power because I had 304/305 by the time it unlocked, and I wasn't going out of my way to find them.
Just beat it on the evil side. I think I prefer the missions on evil more, but I like the ending of the good side better.
Do I really have to buy EVERY power up to get that trophy? So much EXP...and still havent gotten the assassin's/ice conduit side mission trophies

finished it good side hard (better give me the trophy)
do you start a brand new game as evil, or is it like a new game+ type thing?
still need to find that last dead drop. no clue where it is.

Dead Drop Tip: I got my final one after looking forever. I got it while getting the 'back to the bayou' trophy. That should tell you where it is.
I just need to play a few more user levels to get the platinum and I'm uploading another level right now.

how do you get the back to the bayou trophy? nvm. didn't think to look there.
also, kinda lame that user generated levels give you scant xp. some people designed levels where you're making hundreds, but all you really seem to get is the 40 for completing it.
and when they say get all powers, do they also mean evil powers? because those are locked and that much xp seems impossible.

Is the mission editing stuff all unlocked from the beginning?

I THINK they just mean powers on one side but once you beat the game a second time, you unlock ALL powers regardless of karma and get about 15k xp to help buy them.Linkzg said:

I'm confused about beating it a second time. When I do new game, should I select 'continue from infamous 1 negative karma'? there doesn't seem to be a new game plus option.
also, I need about 8k to get rest of my good powers (all the red ones are locked out). I have no clue how I'm even supposed to earn that post game. You get like...90 for finishing a user created level.

Hey SUCKER PUNCH! IF you read this put the UGC checkpoint backt the way it was in the beta. There is no way to die and continue within a line of logic anymore. If I die you have to start the level over because they won't let you start the logic FROM the checkpoint marker anymore.
edit: you don't need to do anything. The game remembers and you just need to finish the game twice, once with each ending mission choice. Well, that's what the UGC levels are for. Just play some and get some xp.

Does this apply retroactively to the first runthrough save? Like, say I beat the game on Good Karma, if I beat it on Evil Karma do both save files get that tweak?BobTheFork said:

I HATED Infamous 1 due to it's lifeless boring city and even more boring repetitive missions. I dig the Infamous 2 demo though, the powers feel better and it just seems more fun. The city still seems really boring though. The peds have no personalties and don't even seem to react to what I'm doing. I'll probably purchase it when it hits $20.
Edit: The city is definitely better in this one. Street performers and protesters and what not. I just got to kill a street performer banging on a drum, raised my purchase price to $30. God I hate those annoying fuckers in real life! I really don't like the angsty/trying too hard to be edgy main character though.

Hmmm, does anyone want to see if they can find my level. I re-made my level from the beta and put it in the same place but I can't find it in the filters and another level of mine is getting way more plays. The level is 'minigame' and 'narrative' and it's in the culdesac just west of the big cemetery. I don't see it in the website either but it's only showing beta info for me right now. Thanks.
