Mine used to get pretty loud for Shadow Fall as well. My apartment is quiet as hell so I can hear EVERYTHING!
I can hear mine now though my headphones in a quiet house. I'm a bit worried.

Are there less fan sounds for the people who own the digital version?

I'm not incredibly worried about it. Killzone: SF did the same thing to it. Playing other games like Resogun and NFS Rivals my PS4 barely knows it's on.

This was awesome. I genuinely chuckled.
Whoa. That is odd. It's never THAT loud. You might want to check how warm the PS4 is getting and test in the open to see if ventilation is an issue.

I really cannot state enough how happy I am that none of the missions were repetitive. I think if the game went on for much longer, things would have to get repeated and it'd become boring.
Im not sure how anyone can dislike the 3rd power. Its the best one for me.
Oh you aint seen nothing yet. This game has some of the WORST boss encounters ever. Im on one right now and there is no way anyone played this and SP and though it was a good idea. Not to mention they recycle the exact same fight which was pretty lazy.
Near the end? Spoilers
So far Infamous 1 I think was the best in the series. Although characters in this one are much better.
Maybe calling it video was kinda lazy stupid but the actual power it self is pretty fun. Mostly the flying.

man I am so ready for this game to end. These last few fights have been so frustrating. Just got concrete from Augustine and this boss battle is horrible.

Am I the only one who really liked the boss fights?

This is my first Infamous game and my first purchase on the PS4 since Ghost/Battlefield 4 at launch, and holy fuck I am loving this game.
Soo good. Playing as a good guy because I just can't pull myself to do the "evil" actions, simply because I don't agree with them.
Just got to the third power, and I have to say, Delsin is a douche, and Reggie is awesome.

Just wait until you get unlimited speed burst with Neon, its glorious.

I'm right with you, even reading this post nearly as much as I play.
I have a bad habit of not finishing single player games : I played only a few hours of Saints Row 4 and had my fill, and while I spent a ton of time on GTA V - and countless more hours once a PS4 version comes out - I think I got about 70% on that story as well.
Yet with inFamous SS I'm looking forward to an expert evil playthrough and I haven't finished my good playthrough yet.
This game has its faults, but as a whole its amazing.

Nope, I liked them. I normally hate boss fights too. I actually liked the one everybody is complaining about the best.
Aren't those randomly generated? They aren't pinned to map locations, are they?
I find Paper Trail to be interesting at the moment. I usually hate open world game side content, didn't like it in GTAV, where those stranger missions felt lame and added nothing, so I like how focused the game is. Get really powerful then mess shit up.

They're not bad, like people are complaining about. That third boss fight was a pain in the ass, but I'm not seeing how it could be terrible.

No you are not, I too enjoyed the boss fights and found them pretty damn cool.

Yeah my PS4 runs whisper quiet for both MGS & Infamous. All of my games are digital & my PS4 is sitting up vertically with plenty of ventilation. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

It could have been platonic! It's what good people do.
I've liked them so far (up to the third power). Nice balance of constant movement and shooting with that one.
Wth all these reports of the ps4 being loud. Mine is whisper quiet. Mine is digital btw.
Anyways on expert evil mode and so far I am enjoying it even more than my first play through. I can't remember the last game that I was able to do a second playthrough not to mention right after finishing it the first time.
If the combat/powers are this fun so far and branch into the other powers Holy shit I can't wait lol.

totally unrelated to gameplay, but do you guys think this game is/will sell well?
i want it to be successful cause i fully enjoyed it and the franchise's future is usually easier to secure when the games are successful, although i'd want SP to do something else before returning to infamous further down the road

The amount of people on my friend list that bought it is high. Sales should look good.

Noise has nothing to do with disc/digital. And lucky you.
finished my evil playthrough yesterday and began the good one. Love this game.
I also freed complete seattle before I attempted to do the final mission (basically I finished a district as soon as I entered the area)...
last power/endgame spoiler:
...
I also really liked the conversations, dialogs and monologs from/with Delsin, really made the game more alive for me. And I'm glad I played my us copy and not my de copy, I bet the german sync (if it has any) is not nearly as good - als always

so I couldn't really do anything with concrete... Its a nice power, especially the extra defence, but it's lacking all of the enemies concrete abilities, a finisher afaik and the ability to absorb concrete from any sources.. just from enemies is kind of lame, especially sind everywhere in seattle are concrete structures ôo
//ah, end yes I've upgraded it completly, as soon as I got a new power during the fight against augustine

Welp, I'm all done with part 1 of the paper trail. This is pretty cool and interesting. I really hope that they give us a power at the end of this. It's definitely a good way to keep people playing even after finishing the game. Would be cool to add more of these in the future. And also full-fledged DLC maybe.
I'm just up to the point where you search what's her faces name "appartment", and I just love the gorgeous pink neon bolts when you initially have to chase her down, looks batshit insane, nice how it animates and also glows giving it real sense of depth. I imagine at night it looks just incredible! The game is almost ...too good! So I'm knocking a point of my review score 8). Really taking my time story wise so been doing a lot of the side story stuff and grabbing the shards....GZ ain't got a look in yet bar a 20 min quick go.

I thought I read someone mention close to a million pre-orders. So that and all the people that are going into the store and buying it and the digital people buying it, it should do quite well I think.

I have a question about Paper Trail. I've finished the game 100% and the only thing left is the PT mission icon. I'm there but nothing happens (no mission marker). I've registered at the site but my linked account is the one I bought it on (US) not the one I played it on. Does this mean I can't switch accounts and play PT missions?

I hope the end of paper trail lead into a full-fledged DLC.
I'm pretty sure we get to use paper power, so we need additional content and skill tree come with that power.
you shoud've linked your PT acc to your PS4 acc were you play SS on.
I linked my PT acc with my DE PSN Account, even though I bought the digital US copy of the game. works fine so far, finished beginning of PT - part 2

Platinum complete and up to date on Paper Trail. Gonna be a long six weeks, lol.
I would have to say it will sell more then previous infamous games. Between the popularity of the ps4 and Sony actually advertising the game, its gotta do pretty good. Thanks to the commercials, i have a couple coworkers interested in the series now. (both only have ps3, no ps4s yet)
Finished it, loved it. Thought it added a lot to the tried-and-true formula. All of the new powers were friggin' awesome, I loved that from the start with smoke its clear that movement is key...and then they ramp it up with the second power...and the third OMG. Great way to utilise the open-world. Combat was awesome with all the tactics you could use and running circles around the enemies.
I gotta say its kind've a brave choice to open up the conduits to more than just traditional/tropey powers like in the first two games to more off-beat, wierd ones based on literally anything, but it works and I'm looking forward to having even crazier powers in the next game.
The story was good, presentation was a little off in places (
, as well as
).
The graphics were amazeballs. The motion blur in particular is ridiculously good, esp. noticeable in some of the boss fights. I'm looking forward to my second, evil playthrough.
The biggest down moment in the whole game was the opening grafitti act, I imagine that single-handedly put a lot of people off. Was a terrible way to open the game. That said once I got used to the controls they were fine, but still don't open with a hard to control/understand gimmick.

very wierd cut from first encounter with Augustine to the hospital...unless I missed it was it ever explained why she never took Delsin???
the news report after you first "defeat" Augustine...lazy and leaves what happened very hazy and a bit anticlimatic when you're avenging your brother

She didn't believe Delsin was a conduit. She thought he was making a cocky joke.

haha, yeah, only later down the line i understood how to hold the controller properly
they should have had some kind of an animation to show how to hold the controller instead of that small grunge icon.THIS!
I have no idea why
delsin was saved
augustine had him, and then he just has flown away with a ton of concrete on him... who saved him?
//edit: oh, looks like I mean another encounter, but the question remains

But how? When I registered at the site, that US account was already there. It's not even the same email address I use for it. It's a bit strange, possibly some autologin based on my PSN store cookie. When I click "delete" in preferences, it asks me if I'm sure and then nothing happens

Who do you know controls things that fly? That's who saved him.
