Any chance this comes as a PSN+ game?

Probably, but also I'd say you are looking at 6 months to a year wait.

I say no. Festival of blood hasn't been on PS+. Doubt this will be.

Farting.
And 7 of your 31 came from an expansion. It's nuts. I felt like when I wrapped up the game I got 4 golds and a platinum within 5 minutes. Not that it matters, just curious how they decide what game gets to have how many.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that collecting all lumens and doing all the races/graffiti etc will not give enough SP to level up all skills unlike Second Son where it seemed there was the perfect amount to collect to level up everything.
Instead it seems the challenges and such need to be done to collect enough.
Anyone who has maxed Fetch out can you confirm or deny? Maybe it requires a mix of both?
Just lame because I don't care for the "x/100 times" type of things.

I finished the story last night. I thought it was an enjoyable little ride, but I wouldn't give it a rave review or anything. For people who enjoyed SS, this is just some extra enjoyment. For people who didn't enjoy SS, you're not likely going to enjoy this either. The mission structure is very basic and the scope of the story is much more limited (as it's meant to be).
The game plays so well that even when missions are basic and side missions are sparse, it's at least fun. I haven't delved too deeply into the arena yet, but it looks pretty awesome so far.

To fully level up all powers you need to collect everything and complete all challenges.

Is there a plot twist?
Just some more pics.
I really love how game animations have become so detailed that we can see Fetch's hand on the ground after a jump. Lots of good little details.
Major spoilers folks:
Fetch's face

Some other spoiler pics that I thought turned out nice. Some great emotion being played out too. Really impressed with Fetch's facial animations.

during the end scene is nuts. That has to be one of the coolest final kills in a game.

Any guide for certain challenges?
Not that I know of. What challenges are you having trouble with? Most sound harder than they actually are once you get into the arena.
Which ones are you having trouble with exactly? Also don't worry about them until you have beaten all the arenas and got all the other trophies. Most of them come naturally, depending on your playstyle of course.
I think you have to beat the game. Also, it's only available for the arena areas.

that would be a bummer. I changed the sticks aswell and i am having that issue
Well fuck its the xone sticks tested it with my girlfriends ds4
Wow I *HATE* the 500k beta rescue challenge. This shit is impossible.
Missles dont even help because they blow up the hostage. And some of these dudes are rushing and hitting the hostage in one hit once they see me shooting.
Trying to keep the multiplier up and save the hostages is so frustrating.

Easily the hardest challenges, I beat the survival modes with about triple the score required before I actually got bored and just died on purpose. Rescue missions however I tried to keep going and barely got past 500k. It seems you need to get a good randomization of hostage location/wave spawning. If you are in massive trouble the singularity move does not harm hostages so it's a good bail out when you don't think you'll get there.
One thing to do is that when things get hectic you can snipe off the attackers and go collect the hostage later when multiple hostages show up at once. Also charging up your melee finisher to 3 can make quick work when you are in a jam.
How do you kill the big concrete guys without killing the hostage? If I shoot missles, the hostage dies... If I shoot normally, they bullrush the hostage and knock him off.
edit: Just got 500k beta survival no problem, wasn't stressful in the slightest. I just hate the rescue ones.
I use a singularity with those most of the time since they are rarer, but stasis attacks also stall them from rushing. So I usually launch a stasis attack at one, send a fury of missiles his way, then focus my attacks on the other, stasis attack that, and then flip back to the first guy to finish him off and then finally flip back to the second guy. Missiles work well you just have to be between the hostage and those guys. Basically ping back and forth between the two stalling them before they can start their rush. It's not easy, I usually lose those hostages if I don't have a singularity.

This tip helped me with it.
I think the alpha rescue is harder due to the layout of the arena. In beta it was usually a straight path towards the hostage. I've got 415k on alpha at max, and there has been no yellow shard in sight to help reaching 500k. =/
EDIT: I'm having trouble with the challenge, that requires shooting flying enemies while being on air. It doesn't seem to register kills that are made during a jump.

I never played MAG, but this youtuber noticed some songs from that game were used for the battle arenas. Did anybody that played both catch that?

Also, someone in the thread mentioned earlier that there were some inFamous 1 songs used. Here they are.

I found the story pretty blah, but the arena mode more than made up for it. It's a blast.
Most hostages don't require you to have to kill the concrete guys. There are usually only a few guys to kill to save the hostages and if you hit L3 they will highlight in red. I just kill the ones I have to, save the hostage, then use rockets or whatever to kill the hard ones, or run away if I'm low on health.
The way I did this was in the beta arena. I used the stasis to blast enemies off the platforms, jumped off following them, went into focus and shot their weakpoints (to get the weakpoint challenge as well). It was one of the challenges I had to cherry pick and not do naturally.
I found it also works just on the ground, you can send guys into stasis and then just jump and hit their weakpoints. Hope its not glitched for you.
The alpha arena does not have shards. The rescue on that was actually the hardest challenge for me. I started to find that just launching missiles randomly when my multiplier was flashing would keep it going since they would heat seek someone.

Thanks for the tip, again. =) It just happens, that I've got the weak point challenge ahead as well.
Oh, f**k. The yellow shards would have made it so much easier. I often lose hostages just because I can't get to them in time. Beta was a piece of cake compared to the alpha.
Just finished this last night. Really, really fun. As much as I loved Second Son I found the Neon powers in this to be so much more fun than any of the individual powers Delsin had. They just absolutely nailed the traversal with the Neon run, Neon clouds and dash working together so seamlessly.
My only complaint is that I wish it was much longer! I barely got half of all the upgrades by the time I finished the campaign.

It was sort of a rush job, but I went ahead and threw together a First Light trailer via Sharefactory. I hope I did inFamous and Fetch fans proud. I certainly enjoyed it. This was edited/created entirely in ShareFactory.
Oh yeah, potential minor spoilers, but if you played Second Son, you already know what's coming.

I'm absolutely in love with the game. For $14.99, you have absolutely no reason not to jump in. Reading the reviews was somewhat strange, because I keep hearing "but you only have one power", yeah, and that power, in its truest form, is really freakin' awesome. If you played and enjoyed Second Son, you'll love First Light.

Weird, I did it in one try. Forget the multiplier, points stack up quickly in later rounds. The missiles do not blow the hostage up, I almost exclusively use them, they are really overpowered. So just focus on the hostage as soon as you see the green 'stain' on the map, then spend the rest of the time circling around firing missles and recharging.
So you would go up to the hostage and his 2-3 guys, and use missles square on them? I swear they're killing the hostage, but maybe something else is.
Yup, I always did that, missle then light bolt who survived.

I hated rescue until I realized I had to actually touch the NPC after killing the baddies around him.
I was just clearing them baddies expecting the Hostage to run away.
I usually weakpoint snipe
For me, I always ran for the hostage the moment they were announced. I used L3 to pinpoint where they were going to be and often got there before any damage had been done to them. I mean, I dropped everything to save the hostages. Then, during the lull, I killed everything I could. I used the singularity whenever I felt overwhelmed and you earn them pretty regularly. If I was low on health, I just ran and ran until I could find a place to either heal, or take on more neon to heal. I'm usually pretty mediocre at this sort of stuff but I really found it attainable. Those homing rockets were amazing to use too.

Finished it last night, what a great game. It really shows what went wrong with SS, having a game and world designed torwards a single power makes everything so much satisfying even though it's still Seattle, traversal is fun with the neon boosts and you can just zoom around killing enemies.
I really hope that whatever SP does with Infamous next, it's a single power again.

Ahh thank you. Seems to be working most of the time. Only time it is doing what I was describing is the enemies that go into that concrete shell once you hurt them enough... I blast them with the missle and they insta kill the hostage. Not sure why.
Maybe try saving Singularity for those specific hostages, it doesnt hit the hostage. Either that or melee+finishers
That's ultimately what I'd suggest, they show up rarely enough that you should always have one available. I did notice the missiles killing the hostages so I'm interested in what mrstevens is seeing as far as the instant kill enemies. Even then you should be able to do the mission losing the occasional hostages to the concrete enemies, just keep that multiplier up.

The gameplay in this is soooo good. This game definitely benefits from focusing on a single power instead of giving you all the ones in SS.
I do wish there was more side-stuff to do in Seattle though. Some more neon grafitti or extra challenges would have been pretty cool.
