Thats really disappointing :/
Static time makes the game more boring.
I am not sure if you are being sarcastic but I like the way the InFamous games does it.
I did ask Sony EU if the game has it so my question might get answer this week.
Did somebody draw your avatar? It looks a little different.
Now... we wait.

Hmmm. I did not know this. Still does not change my mind about buying it (as long as reviews seem solid), but for some reason, I thought it was suppose to have dynamic lighting and changes from one to another as you play.

Are we ever going to see the day where games go digital right after they go gold?
99% of d/n cycles are terribly done with lighting that does nothing but make things more difficult to see.

Agreed. I prefer that the developers use the time of day to suit the gameplay/mission/mood as they see fit, and optimize it for the intended experience.
In this case you still get 8 different TODs though, so a d/c cycle exists. It's just narratively set and will not advance on its own.
I mean that guy did say there are exceptions to the narratively defined TOD, so maybe the post-game has regular TOD transitions instead of being locked?

Nope. Not for a while. They have to consider retailers and that is a big deal. In the future, when it all goes digital, I could see that happening. Only good thing about a game going gold and release date it gives time to fix things that they probably did not catch.

Once this is out my most anticipated game slot moves undebateably to Gravity Rush 2. My hype for this is bonkers. Reviews? GAF impressions? Live streams? Shu sales celebration tweets? No.

If the game had dynamic tod, you wouldnt be able to use neo during the day (no recharge) 
Never knew you guys felt strongly about this heh.
I dont mind either way though ,the InFamous games always set the right mood.

day/night always set the mood of the game if done properly. i'm okay with it if it's like an open world game.
GTAV allowed the time to change when you enter a certain mission.

Cannot wait!!! Those russian leaked vids looked very promising. March is gunna be such a drag on my wallet.
Infamous 2 did it the same way.

Infamous 2 chose with every load randomly a day time setting (i think that game 6 or 7 different lighting settings).
I liked that solution.
The frist game always stayed with a bluish setting when being played as a good guy, and redish when being played as a bad guy.

game isn't big enough for SCEA to actually bundle anything. the time has come to accept it.

What does 8 time of days mean?

8 states across daytime+nighttime?
Dawn, afternoon, midday, dusk, night, etc. Basically, eight stages of world lighting.
Thats really disappointing :/

Yup sounds like cutscene--> cue time of day change--> emerge from rooftop--> begin gameplay.
Well hopefully reviews roll out soon and I get to see the rest of those powers and if there were improvements to the audio.

Can't wait. Loved the other iterations, so I'm willing to trust them on this.

I hope we hear some more news about Driveclub after SS is on the shelves.

Ha, or Watch Dogs for that matter. I thought for sure those titles would tide me over until this release. Glad ACIV and some Wii U titles ended up being gems.
DC and SS would have been a good one two combo to get the Spring gaming season started on PS4.
I'm honestly more concerned for Watch_Dogs at this point. If DC was held up for VR, that at least makes sense, but WD is completely MIA

Nothing from what we have seen would lead me to believe the performance is that good.
Anyway back to SS, best of luck to Sucker Punch on the coming launch. I think they are in an unenviable position with a lot riding on the success of the game.

Since Sony hasn't announced a bundle it looks like Gamestop went ahead and made their own
http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/consoles/playstation-4-infamous-second-son-bundle/113945
For the low price of $570. Also includes a year of Plus and an additional controller (because that's very important to SS).

You have to wonder why.

Instantly tops #1 spot. Yet Sony and their marketing as usual have their heads so far up their asses. This is the second biggest first party game of the year, I have no idea why they're not throwing money at marketing to make it a big deal. I know it shouldn't, but Sony's tendency to be absolutely shit at marketing really irritates the hell out of me, especially with the way they handle their first/second party games outside of NG, SSM & PD.
I'm in day 1 and expect this game to sell really well, as my estimation is around 3-4+ millions. It's just irritating seeing Sony as usual fumble the ball like Barthez is playing on net when it comes to marketing.
They've been on the ball for the general message and getting that across, but they still can't take care of their own games for shit. inFamous, Watch_Dogs, Destiny and The Order is it's not on the same month as Destiny, should all be bundled and advertised heavily on the Sony platforms this year. Sorry for the rant, it just really irritates me how they handle their own gems a lot of the time.
