Infamous Second Son first screens

The article confirms that Smoke isn't exactly the ''main power'' of the game. The power of the protag is that he can absorb the powers of other conduits (superheroes/whatever). Smoke is just the first power you get.
 
What's with the thumbnail sized 'screenshots'

... I see as I scrolled down, looks much less lifelike once blown up to post stamp size

Still nice to see faces get away from the uncanny valley a bit, and it's a big big leap over the fugly infamous 2 character models.

edit: yeah router:( I didn't notice the cap.
It was the same in the killzone videos, everyone has some form of cap or head covering and the knack characters had playdoh hair.

The luminous demo gave me hope early on but seems like we are in for another gen of bald space muhrines, hats and playdoh.

edit: that dawn demo is on pc ... and it brings better gpus than what's in ps4 to their knees, and it's only one character, maaybe we'll get that in another gen :(
 
My biggest issue with Infamous was the lack of AA, so second son having it will automatically make it magnitudes better
 
“He is completely getting off on his powers,” says animation director Billy Harper. “He says, ‘I don’t know how to jump off this cliff and I don’t know what will happen when I get there, but I’m just going to do it and see what happens when I get there.’”

As someone that is really into animation, that makes me excited. I hope the amount of memory that is now available to them means they can have lots of variations where he barely lands right and stuff like that, making the whole parkour/movement flow of the traversal look very cool.
 
I'm not really all that impressed. Doesn't look as nice as that Resistance game that is coming out (at least I think that's the one that was shown in pics).

Just in case you are serious:

-It's Killzone, not Resistance.

-This is open world, Killzone is corridor shooter.

Yea, I was serious. Killzone or Resistance, same damn thing. Two shooters. Hell, I just did a side by side comparison of gameplay shots from both and they look the same. I digress though.
 
This is really good sign for other next gen games. As much as i love SP they are no tech wizards that ND and GG are and this is for a open world game.

uh...both games play really differently. One is sci-fi the other is alternate history. Stop derailing the thread.

I didn't derail it, someone else did by correcting me on the games. They both look the same to me, which was my reply to that.

I'm still not impressed by these supposed next-gen graphics of Infamous.

Big leap in character design. I still dont get why people like that stupid character design in the 1st and 2nd inFamous. Pissed me off that they reverted back to the old Cole for the 2nd inFamous. It actually made me not interested in the game any more.

This one is not less generic, lets not kid ourselves...
 
Character looks horrible. Not sure why they have problems with character designs. Oh well, will probably play for the game play anyways.
 
To me Second Son looks better than the new Killzone, the art style looks fantastic and the main character's model looks extremely clean.
 
I hope the amount of memory will allow for some real time power switching, not very different from Dante's style system in DMC4, and the new animations and (possibly) more refined gameplay will allow for more creative combinations.

I'd love to see Second Son "combo videos" start popping up, and with the share feature it should be ridicously easy to do so, anyone would be able to capture footage.

The series has that potential for sure, it always allowed for creative gameplay with your powers, it just never gave you a lot of options or the refined gameplay you'd expect to do so, but it doesn't restrain you from experimenting.

So excited for this! I'm not getting a launch PS4 because I'm afraid of 3RL/YLOD all over again, but I already decided to delay my WiiU purchase for a good few years at least (which will alow me to get the PS4 first), I'm sorry Platinum but even Bayo and w101 are not enough.

How don't they look the same? I've never played either one but judging from pictures alone, they look the same, which was my point on that. If you gave me pics from both games, I couldn't tell you which game was which. Again, this is just going from pics, not gameplay.
