I've only played evil so far and I'm guessing you have to approach fights differently than playing as a hero. I'm glad to hear this though as I intend to play as a hero after I finish my first play through.

How strong Evil and Good is in this game depends on the powers. Like the third power, it's stronger for Evil. I think Smoke is stronger for Good.
It's pretty subjective to the playstyle. The previous Infamous games it was plainly obvious which was stronger. Good was stronger than Evil for Infamous 1 and 2.

I finished the game twice and obtained every trophy. Easily the most fun I've had on the PS4 and in any open world game. Am I the only one that thinks Reggie is the best character in any of the Infamous games?

Reggie is a great character. What makes him great is how realistic he is in characterization. He feels human.

Words cannot describe my disappointment after killing the DUP Rock-Spinny dude without even touching the Neon only to find... nothing changed. xD

No, all of the characters in Second Son are far more interesting than anyone in 1 or 2. I wish we had more audio logs or diaries to flesh out
Fetch and Eugene

Pretty much everyone who wasn't Delsin or Reggie had a criminally low amount of screentime.

Reggie was fantastic and it made his death all the more painful.
Delsin needs Zeke for the next game, I think. If we even get Delsin or another game.

I think after meeting both Fetch and Eugene they should have made character specific side story quests for teh both of them. Oh well.

really? When I played through on expert with evil powers I was obliterating everything.

I agree. Their main story arcs were really short. Some side missions where you work together with them would have been nice.
I finished the game as a True Hero with all shards spent.
Including the Concrete power upgrades.
so I just finished my good playthrough yesterday and have now 100%'ed it.
great game, but

I found the evil ending waaay more logical, than the good ending. I mean on the good ending you just capture augustine and suddenly humans and conduits are friends and they lived happily ever after...doesn't make a lot of sense, even if Delsin doesn'T kill a lot of people on the good playthrough, he fights against the system, and against the media, so the "normal humans" can be manipulated.
I can't believe, that just because I managed to capture augustine, that suddenly the media is all "oh ok, delsin is great, so is the drug girl and the gamer, let's give them a hug and free all conduits,yaaay!"

Evil Ending makes more sense. you are evil, the world sees it, you are outcasted by the akomish and kill all of them, after that you go to rule over the humans and aquire as much conduit powers as possible.

So it's safe to just ignore them then? I've been starting to get tired of them and noticed they seem to just keep popping up. I thought there was a finite amount of them though and that was really the only thing that kept me going.
afaik their only use is karma boost, if you want to reach karma lv5 "faster"
Campfires? ;p

And the well-known neon bears of Rainier.
You wouldn't be able to get much of the third power out in the woods, but I'm not sure why you'd want to have it out in the woods, either. Aside from making camping less tedious.
(I'd still like North Seattle DLC, though. I want to run around the University District tagging frat houses and zapping ten times as many street musicians per mile.)

InFamous is an open world game, not a sandbox game. The difference is subtle but still. Seattle is built like a jungle gym
Drug dealers are in just to fill your superpower meter (just like the bots in titanfall)
I also use them for fodder to fill my gauge. Then go to disrict showdown or mobile unit and wreck shit with the neon uber attack.

How exactly does L1 give you infinite karma bombs? You can only subdue 2 enemies at a time with it. Compare that to neon where you can easily just take anyone out at range constantly with your slo mo ability to build up your karmic bomb super quick. Also the karmic bomb is better with neon. Health recovery from range with neon as well.

Had a quick blast with the remote play on this game, controls work fine and managed to take down one of the bosses fairly easily.

Yup got to try remoteplay today too. Pretty damn good.
I noticed that doing the stencil tagging is done automatically on Vita

Yeah I noticed too. The strange thing is that you have to do the gymmic (turn and shake Vita) but not the painting session (wich I thought was even more feasable with Vita touch or gyro...)
Someone will appreciate
Tried to not get this so soon..but it looks so damn great in pictures, gifs and low-res streams, remote play. Darn it. Just got it digitally.
Seems to be downloading 5GB or so, and an update. So, anyone knows when the rest of the 20GB will download and the Limited Edition/Cole stuff (says I can't download it, but it's right there in "my add-ons")?
Can't wait!

Had the same problem, did the paper trail and when I got to the end it said it couldn't update and told me to go back to the start.

was just about to ask whether I should do the mission first or link my game first since I just unlocked the Paper Trail icon on my map

This game really perks up once you acquire the Neon power. It totally blows Smoke out of the water, both in terms of traversal and combat. Running vertically up walls will NEVER get old, and zooming in on enemies and taking them down via their weak points is satisfying as hell.
Whatever the next power is, it's got a lot to live up to.
Beyond creepy.

I got it digitaly too, First it will install the minimum 5 GB so you can play the beginning of the game if you want, but i don't recomend it.
It's better to wait until the game has finished downloading (once the initial 5 GB have download, you can see the download status in the PS4 menu over the game icon -> pressing the Options button->Information.
Everything will install automatically (Game-> Update -> DLC). Know that to be able to use & access the DLC, you need to have installed the update first and until the game is fully downloaded the update won't install itself.
I think the problems people had with the DLC's erroe some pages back in this thread may have been caused by starting to play before all content was fully download.
Hope that helps.

Just checked (after 6 hours) and it's at 9.4GB which is quite fast for my slow internet.
Thanks!
Could you expound on the difference? I think the terms can be used interchangeably without much controversy, but the size and style of inFAMOUS says "sandbox" to me.

Just finished the good ending. I now understand the 8's. Good game, but not great. Fell into the architecture a couple times, had some judder, the story is...better but not great and it's a little short for one playthrough. Also, the third power was meh.
I wish that more open world haves had side missions that varied given the area you're in rather than the same 4 or 5 things over and over.
Now for evil on expert for them other trophies then goofing for the 45 second float.
No special on the last power was disappointing for post story play. Not being able to use it outside of the boss fight and post game was blergh. Also, also, those boss fights...why in all hell do they have to be in set pieces rather than in the city?

I'm sure this has been answered, but I've completed this game three times, platinumed it, and I still don't know why it's called Second Son?
The obvious explanation is that they originally had something else planned for the story. Or it's just a tease/reference to the older games.

I think Cole etc. were the first sons, conduits and when it was all over there were none left. Then conduits started coming back and thus the Second Sons.
Probably wrong, following game stories is admittedly a weak point of mine.
Good ending spoiler:
A good chunk game is about Reggie and Delsin's relationship. Delsin is the younger brother, the second son. It hit me when he made the mural for Reggie at the end. Delsin also says in the good epilogue that he helped to bring in the "second age" for the conduits.

He's the younger brother, hence Second Son.
I've thought of it as him being the second son after Reggie, but that seemed much too weak to be it.
The touch pad was a big surprise for me. I expected to hate it being used for so much but it was very quick and natural.

Come on man. Clearly,
Reggier is the older brother making him his parent's first son. Delsin is the younger of the two making him the second son. Duh.
Lol I really don't know either, but I can't find any other explanation hahaha.
