Best looking rain ever in a video game.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Can all powers be fully upgraded in one play through? If not, what to focus on?

 

[vypek]

Once you get Neon powers you don't need to climb. Climbing is terrible in this game for sure.

I feel its the only thing that didn't improve but rather step back. Feels bad compared to previous installments...but then again, you're not meant to be climbing that much, right? Traversal and scaling buildings is definitely awesome in this game

 

[Bunta]

Can all powers be fully upgraded in one play through? If not, what to focus on?

Yes, as long as you collect all the blast shards.

 

[Bloodworth]

Can all powers be fully upgraded in one play through? If not, what to focus on?

collect all the blast shards and focus on one karma path, and you'll have enough for everything.

 

[Bebpo]

Graphics look incredibly in the non-open world parts like the beginning. Seriously, best looking next-gen game in those sections.

The main city looks good but definitely looks a little less impressive in exchange for the scale.

Game seems cool. Story/writing definitely seem better than the old games. Not sure about combat yet, it seems like there's way more enemies you are fighting at once. Hopefully when you get some more powers you can blow right through them.

 

[GHG]

You know the problem with this game? It looks a bit too good.

No seriously. It looks too good. I spent an hour just doing nothing but running around looking at stuff/views and spamming the share button.

This is the best looking game out there IMO and I'm a seasoned PC downsampling gamer. It's very impressive how everything just comes together.

 

[RealityPales]

So, is it weird that the stencil art is one of my absolute favorite things about the game?

Not only is it a neat and natural utilization of motion control, I just love seeing each new piece of art.

Incredible.

 

[lmbotiva]

So, has anyone noticed Nolan North is on this game?

 

[QuantumZebra]

This game is awesome. First true next-gen game IMO. Having a blast 2 hours in so far.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Early game screen shots. Mostly just testing the Share feature which seems to be constantly not working for me.

#InfamousSwag

DAT POSE

 

[Figboy79]

Finally home from work and the grocery store, and am just starting the game. As a diehard inFAMOUS fan, I am really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one. I tend to take my time with games, so I'm not going to blow through it.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Shit, I think the game just glitches on me. I was trying to cross into the lantern district, and

Spoiler

during the fight with the big concrete guy after speaking with Augustine, he disappeared. Now his life bar is on screen, but there's no music and the dude vanished.

What the fuck do I do?

 

[LiLSnorpSnorp]

This is my first infamous game...is the whole power thing normal to the world?

 

[RedAssedApe]

So, has anyone noticed Nolan North is on this game?

Is he some unexpected character like in TLOU? Does he voice Fetch or something?

 

[Loudninja]

This is my first infamous game...is the whole power thing normal to the world?

Pretty much yeah.

 

[soup or man]

Picked up the limited edition today. This is probably the most fun I've had on my PS4 yet, and I've had some good fun. The vibrant color and reflections in this game are both really impressive. I'd be blown away if those puddles splashed when I ran through 'em, though. I don't hate Delsin's personality as much as some people. Actually I don't hate it at all. He's OK so far. Maybe he'll annoy me later.

 

[GHG]

Have you started playing yet? Everything is explained right at the very beginning.

I'm new to infamous and have had no trouble understanding and following the story.

 

[lmbotiva]

Is he some unexpected character like in TLOU? Does he voice Fetch or something?

Spoiler

you start collecting these audio logs on each distric, he's the one in them, unless there's someone that sound exactly like that guy

 

[supergiz]

What are the red things on the map?

I see them all over the map

 

[vypek]

I've come to enjoy seeing what the pictures turn out to be. They're nice so far. I'm interested in what the other karma pictures look like. I'll find out on my second playthrough

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Have being played for 3 or 4 hours and the game is outstanding. Graphics, the weather, the reflections and lightning are amazing.
I just feel that the city should have more noise in the background.

Neon power is so much greate than the smoke one. Can't wait to get the third one and see if I get suprised.

Agreed on the first part. City ambient noises are way too subdued.

 

[jaypah]

So both GameStops (Barataria and Belle Promenade), WalMart (on Lapalco) and Toys R Us (on Lapalco) were sold out here on the westbank of New Orleans. The thirst was apparently real.
WalMart and Toys R Us both had PS4s though for anyone in the area looking for one

 

[Con_Smith]

Sold a lot of copies today and now to finally sit back and enjoy it.

Going in pretty blind besides that first leak vid on gaf so can't wait.

 

[Namikaze1]

I'm sure this been asked many times before but has there been word yet on when we can connect to the inFAMOUS Paper Trail site? Or even how to complete Part 1 to start Part 2? I really would like to finish part 1.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

This game is great! My wonderful girlfriend had it ready and waiting when I got home.

 

[Lonestar]

Yeah, count me in on the stencil graffiti fan club. The most intuitive motion control-to-screen I've felt. Speaker adds a nice quality, and I enjoy shaking the can, even if its unnecessary.

 

[Magicman103]

The thing that I find so cool about this is that when you are actually spraying if you shake the controller you can hear the ball rolling around inside the dualshock 4!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Did they get rid of the shoulder switch? Why?

 

[EatinOlives]

This game is every bit as good as I was hoping it to be

Gameplay is fantastic, far faster and snappier than previous installments. Goes without saying the graphics are top notch. The facial animations are ridiculously good. The traversal mechanics are as fun as they are useful. I don't know if I'd ever be able to go back to replay the original two inFamous games after this. The improvements are just too good!

 

[Later Alligator]

i got this in the mail today from amazon, and holy fuckkkkk does it look great! plays great as well, i enjoyed the first infamous though never got to the second one

gonna be a long night of gaming tonight!

 

[Jagxyz]

Question, just got neon and...

Spoiler

When you're choosing good or bad, after choosing good delsin walked away with fetch saying "we need to talk". After that the get new powers mission started.
Did they actually talk in a cutscene that I accidentally skipped? Transition felt strange.

 

[Megasoum]

So does the game has an autosave/checkpoint feature? Just want to make sure before I quit... When I got to the "Save Game" screen I only see the manual save I made like 2h ago.

 

[DirtyLarry]

2.5 hours just felt like 30 minutes.
What a treat to be able to do that on a Friday night as well. My wife went out with some friends for dinner, and I cannot recall the last time I got to come home from work, put in a new game, and just play it for a few hours straight. Damn wish I could do that more.
Anyway I digress. The fact 2.5 hours felt like 30 minutes pretty much says it all for me.
Truly enjoying the hell out of it.

With that said I also am what I believe to be the minority of people who truly enjoyed the previous games in the series.
And make no mistake about it, it is an Infamous game.
Just everything is better.

Some things, such as the visuals, are insanely better.
The particle effects truly are bonkers, and just seeing them in a screenshot does not do them justice.
I really have not seen better in a game. Even on PC. They are just stunning.

I will say I think It's actually very easy to take this game for granted.
What I mean by that is they have improved the mobility a decent amount. Traversing the city just seems much easier than previous games.
It's easy to take it for granted and I think that's worth pointing out.

The story seems decent enough. No doubt serviceable.
I personally do not play video games for the story so I admittedly do not pay a whole lot of attention to it. What I have picked up on seems decent enough. The writers are not Hemmingway or Shakespeare, that's for sure. Your standard video game stuff to be honest. I have not cringed at anything, so that's saying something.

Just a damn fun game that looks spectacular.

Really nothing much else to say.

 

[DirtyLarry]

The FAQ on the Paper Trail website says 9 PM Pacific Time today in the US, so that is 15 minutes from now.
Good luck though, the site is crashing all over the place for me and it is not even live yet.

 

[Solideliquid]

Anyone notice that the subtitles appear slightly below the frame? Anyway to adjust that?

You didn't skip anything, there's nothing after that scene

 

[Shaanyboi]

Sorta. It's still viewed as a scary new thing but people are very aware of these peoples' existence.

Yeah, I was stranged out by that too.

 

[Violater]

Played for about 3 hours, still not feeling it.
I don't know what it is that's missing.

 

[ReBurn]

I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long time.

 

[GalacticaN7]

I've played a few hours worth and barely done anything. Just been jumping around and looking at stuff, saving lives, tagging buildings, etc. Not really doing much mission wise.

Such a pretty game.

 

[chubigans]

This game is gorgeous. Holy crap.

Also, to get the most out of the ambient sounds you need to turn dialogue down to 7, and music down to 5, then crank up your normal volume up louder than normal. It really, really helps. The default mix is pretty poor. (and it defaults to TV Speakers for some reason).

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The game is ridiculously gorgeous.

So fun.

Great music.

Love Del and Reggie.

So fun.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

So fun.

So fun.

Did I click the Titanfall thread by accident?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

So I put another 4 hours into the game and I see what the reviewers didn't like about it now. I still think it's a good game, but it does suffer from repetition for sure. It's damn beautiful, though, and worth playing just for presentation alone I feel.

Yep it helps alot.

 

[Jigolo]

I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long time.

same here. just picked up the third power and the dash for this is an absolute joy to use

 

[Chuck]

Loving it so far. Already the most fun I've had with inFamous ever. It can't be overstated how much of a better character Delsin is than Cole. And goodness gracious, it looks so good @_@

and thanks for the tip, chubigans. will do that.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I don't play open world games much but I love this one. Delsin is just a great character all around. He exudes cool. The traversal is excellent and Seattle was just a damn good choice of locale. I just want some grunge rock to complete the experience.

This is by far the best game in the series. Right now I would give it a 9 out of 10 but I am no where near final on that.
