Well that is exactly what I feared, run out of energy in Second son, you're essentially useless like in inFamous 2, which breaks up fights and you have to run away to drain powers to fight again. Big disappointment.

If you're constantly running out of energy, you're playing wrong. There should be a punishment for playing poorly.

The only thing you can't do is shoot, at least with smoke. Everything else seems to be useable. If you're shooting so much that you're running out constantly then you're not getting in close enough to use your other abilities.
I didn't notice you could change the difficulty until I was around an hour or so into the game. Hope this doesn't mess up the trophy. It's pretty stupid not letting you select the difficulty before the game begins.
Anyway, the game is awesome. Had so much fun in that short hour of playtime I had, really looking forward to getting back into it tonight.
Sidebar, but I waited until noon today to start playing, because I was super close to a platinum in killzone. That was a tough hour or so.
I only just got by the demo area. I did another mission that added abilities, but that's it. Did my first picture share because this game looks so good. Wow! I'm really impressed.
I like the traversal so far. Camera works well too. Assuming isn't bad, but not great. I'll get used to it eventually. This is my first Infamous game, so do the missions always flow in and out of the gameplay? I feel like I've died a few times because I didn't notice that I had a mission objective, and I was too busy rolling around.
Anyway, I paused while I came to ihop for some food, then I'm probably playing this the rest of the night. I'm going all bad right now. Feels pretty good. PEACE.

Thank you very much, this is awesome to hear, stoked to go out and get my copy after work.

I disagree, perhaps power sources should regenerate after a short period of time. I had big problems trying to clear out city centre because I had to run away, very far to get more.
Yes, I broke ammo crates etc.
I suck at aiming and said so but I shouldn't be punished above and beyond longer fire fights or more deaths. That being said, I can see it getting better when I get better. As it stands, in the early game this is a problem.
Although
when I upgrade the powers it looks like it'll be less of a problem.

I wanna subscribe to this magazine. Very cool OT.
play good on normal for the first playthrough, then evil on expert for the second, best way to play the game imo

Still makes combat less fun than inFamous 1 so far.
Shooting is the only offense I have right now at the beginning of the game, and I prefer not to get close with the machine gun on me.
I did, set it to home theater, checked all my channels, all is good. Most things like voices sound fine, I just fine some of the audio to lack punch. Who knows, maybe it's supposed to be that way. I'll try the game with headphones to see it's any better.
Still love the game, can't wait to get off work and back to playing.

I have been playing it for a while, and as far as i am concerned, this is the best inFamous game so far.
I have only gotten the Neon powers but the game so far has been a blast. I even cleared a district 100% before progressing further with the story, as i just love the exploration so much. The difficulty isn't too hard and the powers are pretty fun to use.

Then you must be wasting a TON of smoke because I have tons of sources still available after every fight, make sure to get the smoke stacks on roofs, blow up cars, blow up ammo crates, everything you can to get more smoke. Also the melee attack is very good so use that too instead of just spamming the shoot button.
I played for about 2 hours and my god this game is every bit as good as you guys lead me to believe. Starts off a little clunky until
you upgrade some powers and get some basic abilities
Also, looking at the thread did all the "limited editions" come with a foil cover? I really like that step up over regular paper and looks really slick.
It's in the game's settings menu. It's not a profile you download.
At least, that's what I think.

Audio has never been a strong suit of the Infamous games. The first two games barely had any ambient audio at all, if I remember right.

lol fair enough. Hold L2 to aim and play around with the sensitivity settings.
Cool. I'm at work and was just wondering. Planning out my download queue for when I get home.

guys.
this. game. is. amazing!
I'm a little after mastering the third power. Holy shit, I am having such a blast with this game. Just moving around the city using powers feels so fucking cool.
My only gripe so far would be that 'natural' climbing feels a little bit sloppier/clunkier than it did in I1/I2. BUT thankfully other powers make it super easy to traverse buildings, so it's not too big a deal.
Back to the game! Huge props to Sucker Punch.

Yeah, like I said it won't be a problem after upgrading or getting better at the game. Just early game it could be off putting to people. It's not really a "you're doing it wrong" type of scenario if it isn't intuitive.
A side note:
I did most of the things marked on the map to clear it but there were still spy missions and tagging ... do they appear on the minimap or do they unlock during the story?

You guys are getting me hyped!! Will pick it up in a few hours!

In the short amount of time I've played so far I'd say the audio is outstanding actually. Been playing with a pretty good 5.1 setup and the Home Theater setting.

You're a pretty awesome friend.
Indeed, I'm a big fan of the first two games, but audio was never their strong suit. Funny how problems tend to persist.

Maybe i was not clear enough in my previous post, when i said poor IQ im not saying that the graphics are bad or anything, they are quite good, one of the best for all plataforms, i just said that in terms of IQ it cant compete with High End GPUs doing SSAA or MSAA, i noticed that alot of objects in game have some aliasing that in my case distracts a bit since im used to play on PC with MSAA or SSAA.

How soon can you get Cole's jacket ?
I just found first icon (part 1) with that dead drop but now I can't find the second icon to continue Cole's Legacy missions.
Because original vest is just ugly and those pre-order vests are even worse.

You have to boot the game first. It's annoying.

That's what happens when you're on the PC for a while and you get on a console. I noticed that too after playing BF4 for a while then getting on Killzone After a little while you get used to it.

What do you mean boot the game? Should take the disc out???
It means start the game...
Played around for a bit. The intro and the highway/bridge set piece to Seattle was stunning. However once you get there, the first couple or so missions that I played felt slightly repetitive and uninspiring. Graphically its amazing but hopefully the mission variety starts picking up later on.

It will start downloading the patch as soon as you launch the game. The only sure fire way to know that it's applied is to quit the game and start it again. Pretty annoying.
Edit: Anyone else spend a good chunk of their time just trying to set up sweet screenshots?
Yeah my PS4 gets kind of loud when playing. Hope that's normal and not an early sign of failure or anything.
Also, this is the first time in a long time that I've felt like motion and touch controls really add to the experience. They are never overbearing, just very subtle, and makes things like opening doors feel natural and something different than just pushing a button. It also free's up the rest of the face buttons for more important things.

yeah, the patching system needs a patch
