Blast Shards only appear on the map when you clear out the DUP bases in the area.

Anyone having trouble with the 170 meter comet drop trophy? I can't seem to find a tall enough building.

This is the first PS4 game I've played for longer than an hour or two at a time. It is sublime.
The space needle seems like by far the tallest building.
If only we could climb it.

You need the building from the end of the story.
I'l look but shouldn't it show up on the map still? The other one I got under a ramp was still shown on the map and mini map.
Nah, its a tracker drone.
There was one I didn't notice for a while because it was on the map, but it was over the water, and quite a bit away from the land.
Did you finish the game? If yes it's pretty easy to do it.
Climb the building of the last mission and jump.

Also, I've only ever beaten one Secret Agent and that was with a lucky missle strike. I'm hoping to have better luck with Neon, as I'm still only on smoke.

Except it's actually pretty fun?
I remember chasing a Secret Agent across the entire city. Then he fell into water and died.
You literally have to keep them in the corner of your camera, then quickly snipe them off.

The three games have a lot of anti establishment themes (even thought Sucker Punch works with a mega corp... Etc) that the logic probably is that Infamous comes from the protagonists always starting as being labeled as evil doers regardless of their initial actions. In two games , the media is always painting and spinning the heroes actions as criminal driven. In the second game, Cole was blamed for the destruction of Empire City.

Keep them in the corner of your camera? I'm playing a 'hero' playthrough and I'd try to headshot him early if I wasn't worried I was blasting a citizen. By the time I'm certain I know who it is, he's seen me and taken off - and I can't catch him with smoke-amotion.

I thought I'd hate it and even groaned the first time I had to do it. Now it's my favorite kind of mission.

So anyone else have a loud fan while running this game?

Use the building that you climb at the end of the game. Make your way to the top with your smoke powers like you did for the story and then use the video power to dash up the final wall.
To get the trophy you have to dash into the satellite that is at the top and dash two times so you are above street level and not the concrete.
Then just comet drop. It's important that you don't just jump off the top and comet drop, but that you first dash into the satellite and dash twice before you do it.

Just blast the citizen, the negligible amount of bad points isn't worth the headache of chasing these assholes around. If you do get in a chase, just use your dash when they use theirs and in between dashes get off as many pot shots as you can.

I don't think anyone at SP tested the secret agent missions
Edit: Hey look at that.

Having a blast so far. Although neon power is easier to use, traversal with smoke is so much more fun.
And those soldiers sure can aim.

Do I have to register or something at infamouspapertrail.com to get missions or is it just extra shit?
It's not being very clear.

Finally picked up my copy and got the chance to play last night. My jaw is on the floor with these visuals. I thought Sucker Punch did a killer job with Cole's face in Infamous 2, but this is on a whole other level. I'm just in awe at the wrinkles and furrowing happening during conversations. Really makes me excited at the thought of new gen fighting games where we might see contracting muscles on fighters.
Environments are clean and beautiful, there's nothing to knock visually at all. I've never seen anything this impressive. My only knock so far is that scaling buildings isn't quite as smooth as in previous games, but I guess that's a temporary thing as I'll gain the ability to just flow up them in a new form. I also recall being able to click L3 and having the environment light up all of my power sources. That seems to have been removed.
Will play some more tonight, hopefully I won't be as tired as I was last night.

is there a trophy for collecting all blast shards? i shot down one of the drones and the shard went through the street and disappeared.
Neon. Always use neon for those. But yes, they are terrible.
Sadly the Evil ending of I2 was planned to be canon going into this game but they saw trophy data and changed their minds.
I like that they changed the characters but I don't like that they catered to Good route players.
Dat Infamous 2 reference.

Sure its super old, but I love that SP put functioning phone numbers in the game.
Not liking the difficulty curve. It seems I am either playing it wrong, or I am forced to spend way more time skulking on roof tops than in infamous 1 and 2.
The beginning could be pretty hard, until the heal-through-vent power, and heal incapacitate were unlocked. Then it became almost too easy, but now with 4 more districts to free, it keeps getting more annoying.
The enemies keep getting more tricks, and my arsenal isn't getting any bigger.
Really tempted to move it down to easy....
Also one recent boss fight is probably going to win my most hated boss fight of 2014 award. Interesting enough concept, but way too much hp.
Is it only me, or does it seem like the side mission quality took a turn for the worse? No more unique concepts like riding on a bus that gives you unlimited energy etc. Now it's only ubisoft-level checklist stuff...
Otherwise the game is pretty damn great. Excellent voice acting, graphics, awesome traversal etc.

yeah its required....ive only seen a few people say they are able to get through to the website. I would recommend just waiting until its fixed. This is torture refreshing the pages over and over
yes, keep trying the site, it took me one billion tries and then on my one billion and one it finally got linked.
Only do them with neon. Then they usually go pretty fast - if one can find the secret agent that is...

Yeah, been trying for a bit, no go. Ah well.
Yea, that I didn't like that smoke jumping up from the vents. Should have been same as when super jump up from the car. I still don't know how to jump from those vents on the roofs

I am getting my ass kicked in this game.
Neon has made things better though, still don't know how to destroy those turret carrying D.U.P. muscle heads.
Also...I FUCKING HATE TURRETS.

Damage them enough until they're encased in concrete trying to recover. Then go behind them and press Triangle or Square depending on your karma.
