I'm confused what you're asking me
You mentioned the Paper Trail stuff, did you do anything past the 1st mission? What "things" are you referring to, then?
That's great! Thanks Crak!
Seems like everyone from BF4 PS4 gaf is playing infamous! Lol!

Some quick thoughts on the game. About half thorough...
Pros:
*Early on the game does a good job of introducing you to how powers work by slowly
giving you access to them in sequence with the story.
*Graphics are great, I think it's the image quality that makes this game shine though.
*Love the main character, love his attitude, really believable as an average guy who just acquired super powers.
*Facial animations are on point
*I'm liking the story so far, but i won't spoil it for others.
Cons:
*Climbing up buildings and stuff just feels off, i'm starting to wonder if some of the
powers were designed to hide this.
* The touch-pad stuff is alright for draining smoke and stuff, but feels tacked on for other things. Hold up while tapping r2, really ?
* Enemy A.i can be pretty oblivious sometimes.
* Hate how they do blast shards, huge step back.
* I find myself constantly getting caught on stuff while fighting enemies. Being pulled onto poles, fences ect is kind of annoying. It's very similar to assassins creed in that regard. Not as bad though..

Is there a new game+? Or do I have to recollect all the blast shards again.
Didn't they say that the Paper Trail stuff was like 1 mission every week or something like that?

You have to upload the evidence from the first mission, go through the evidence on the website and use that to unlock the next part of the mission which I am about to go do right now.
That's what I was asking about, most people can't get the website to load the evidence / show that they've viewed it so they can continue.

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but is anyone else having trouble uploading the evidence for the paper trail mission to their online profile? Seems like I can't continue the mission without performing that step, but I've tried multiple times to upload the evidence and it won't let me.
The website it says to go to if the problem persists doesn't even work for me.

The neon power is awesome, looks amazing during the day also!!
Ha ya I noticed that as well. When I was running on the beach in the very beginning I stopped to see if it made footprints...
sadly it does not.
I personally don't think it's any better than the last two. Prettier sure, but it just seems like more of the same.
More than halfway through btw

I keep clicking refresh and it works at the 4th or 5th try, just did the second part of the mission in game and now back to the website to figure out the other clues and do the last part for week 1

I didn't care much for the previous ones, yet I love this one. It's clear as day that whatever it is that they did, it made it a much better game.
Gotta be honest, I much prefer the traversal in the first two Infamous games to this one. Quickly moving from power-line to power-line was a lot of fun and forced you to come up with unique paths through your environment. This made exploring the cities a lot of fun because there was a good reason to keep your eye out for new routes across the rooftops. In Second Son, despite the movement powers looking cool and being very effective, this environmental interaction is lost. I can dash up the side of any building easily with neon, so my incentive to look around the city for clever paths is far diminished. A real shame given how much care was put into this Seattle. The game looks great and has plenty to see, it's just a shame moving around the fantastic city is less fun.

i tried a few more times, and its not working for me still either. Guess u just have to be extremely lucky. When I almost get the wallet to load, it just loaded infinitely and never did anything
I think for me it's a lot more exciting just because there's at least that carrot-on-a-stick of getting the new powers. The way you progressed through powers in I1 or I2 was pretty poor tbh.

what?! i loved them in infamous 2. they weren't frustrating at all. they made the game better because all the smaller enemies sucked and were no challenge compared to them.
and they're easier to target.
That much about it is better. This game makes me want to get more powers and it's easy!
Good?? C'mon man! Evil is the way to go. Death, destruction, ahh the life.

Can someone explain how to pull off the airwave? It's under
powers, and I've never been able to do it.

So pissed my infamous didn't arrive from gamefly for the weekend. Pretty much always get games on release from them since the Pittsburgh warehouse is only 4 hours from me. Guess I'll get it monday then.
Is the signal tracker supposed to do anything after you inputted the code? I typed in the number given to me from the detective files, but after I hit enter it just says fills up the bar saying locating signal and then stops; and checking in-game and the online profile shows no changes.

Good god, where did the last 5 hours go?! I've been playing since 9:00 am!
I never said it wasn't more of the same, it clearly is fundamentally like the first two games. But everything about it seems more well put together. I don't recall liking any of the characters from the previous games, and I've enjoyed all of them in second son up to when you get neon; I've even chuckled at some of the jokes they've made which surprised even me. The dash abilities also make the pacing during combat much more enjoyable I think.

One thing I always wondered, for a game called Infamous why are the good endings always canon so far?
Just finished the story line and I must say I had a blast playing through it but I did expected something more out of the story. The powers are great and i'm now going for the 100% before starting my evil playthrough.

I have to reiterate how good the controls are. It makes traversal and combat so fun and satisfying. MASSIVE improvement over the past games. I'm absolutely loving this game.
My only gripe is the somewhat repetitive side missions, beyond that that this game is gold. So far it's an 8.5 in my mind.

Keep clicking send it will eventually say location found, then the next part should be unlocked in game.

God, the lighting at nighttime is *DROOL*. The lack of dynamic shadows on more light sources hurts just a bit, but the look overall is great, especially when you start messing around with neon + motion blur
Blown out to hell and back
Sitting at work for another 4 hours salivating about digging right back in when I get home. The side content really does feel repetitive like last infamous games but there is something about it this time that makes me constantly say "oh just one more thing to clear" *clears it* "oh I can just get that last blast shard real quick" *rinse and repeat until I don't know where the time went*
Not feeling this game. Damn, and I really wanted to enjoy it..
Its missing something and I can't put my finger on it. Its also a just tad repetitive with the same scenario taking place over and over. Kill the yellow marine dudes, rinse and repeat.
Looks amazing though and the controls are fluid.

Came home from work today to find the PS4 + Infamous bundle waiting for me curtesy of my girlfriend. Nice little surprise!
Reading through this thread over the last few days has got me pretty hyped to play this! Not played the first two games but I gather they aren't required for this one.

I just got Neon but i'm very happy with Infamous SS. Have played through 1 and 2 and wasn't the biggest fan (mostly due to story and characters)... much bettter in this one I am finding.
As mentioned I am most impressed with the graphics for how early in the gen this is. Bodes well for those games a couple years away.

I don't know why but to me it seems like Delsin's attacks are stronger if you go down the Evil path. I've been taking out D.U.P soldiers with ease since starting my expert run through. Perhaps it's because I no longer have to hold back. Anyway, back to murdering civilians and soldiers.

There are two types of enemies that you'll encounter later in the story that are a much bigger challenge than the grunts, jumpers, and even the minigunners.
Especially the big brutes that body check you.

Uh, that's the same for all infamous games, and assassin's creed games, and saint's row, pretty much all sandboxes.
