The performance capture is great, makes me wonder whether Naughty Dog will use a similar method or continue to hand animate the faces.

You can actually do that with a little plan ahead like you say, still I would have liked no constraints full on forward non stop Flash going on!!

Just finished my first, good karma playthrough after the game arrived yesterday. Now the only thing I'm asking myself is, why I haven't preordered it and had to be forced by a friend to buy it 
I didn't like the first game and avoided the second one, but Second Son is really impressive. Graphics-wise (variable framerate didn't bother me most of the time, and I only noticed one heavy drop to around 10-15 while using the neon super power on a lot of enemies/cars etc.), gameplay-wise and the story/voice acting is pretty good, too. Overall a really enjoyable experience, and we're only 3.5 months into the console generation. Can't wait to see what SP, ND, SSM and all the other first party studios will pull off in a few years!
Having said all this, I don't understand the 80 metacritic average. Should be 85 at least!
Edit: Oh and I liked Seattle as an environment a lot. I don't need huge ass skyscrapers everywhere, and I don't want to visit New York for the 15th time.

The eyes have a little bit of that dead stare, especially Augustine. The facial animations here combined with the eye movements in TLOU would be great.
Connect the dots, and write down the numbers you cross through. That will be a new FAN number.

Finally got it. I swear these clues are so obvious once you actually get what they are. I feel dumb now haha.

Jesus, they are really going all out with this aren't they? Didn't expect they would want me to put in that much effort, thought it was something far simpler.

Starting my third run on Good/Expert. Taking it slow this time around. Going to destroy all the DUP constructs.
All of the moves with a blue-ish tint require good. Neon has more good abilities than evil abilities.
I used MS Paint to litteraly connect dots.

Haha, yeah I just used Pixelmator myself.
Pretty neat little puzzle, I've enjoyed the Paper Trail ARG stuff so far.

I unlocked it now (feel like a dummy), but am I the only one not hearing a voice mail?

There are boxes on the outer 4 pillars on the first "floor" you need to destroy, then go up all the way to the center. Touchpad + R2 and you're done.

That's a bummer, I dunno when I entered in the correct number in the Security Fob it instantly loaded a .mp3 file and played it.
I'm using Safari on OSX 10.9.2.
I can reupload the audio file if you'd like to hear it.
yeah lol. I think I will wait till all parts are out to finish it I think. Will give me time to start on my evil playthrough in the meantime

no worries, just loaded it up in a different browser. All good now. Thanks.
Thank you.

I thought one was coming out every Friday for the next 6 weeks or so.
Well, we just completed part two. 4 more to go, 4 weeks to wait. Still too long, imho.
Edit: I wasn't saying 6 weeks to wait for next part.

Alright, I've spent 10 minutes looking and I don't know what I need to do for Paper Trail 2.
Where can I find the information that I need to enter on the Linda Kriley legal site?
Bloodworth
Member
Also don't miss the ability to enter the conduit's ID number from that first document on the DUP site for some insight on
all the paper powers.
Are you using the English version or another version of this website?

Thanks man!
The English one.
Edit: Nvm, I got it. I feel like an idiot
I'm still stuck. Help
edit: I was missing a number. Derp

DAT EVIL ENDING
HOLY SHIT
HOLY SHIT
I got the game yesterday night. I have played for a couple hours now and there's one thing that slightly bothers me. The D.U.P controlled percentage.
I have 'Queen Anne' at 55% and 'Seattle Center' at 54%. I can't find any more cameras to destroy nor anything... am I missing cameras and stuff hidden really well, or is the percentage something to lower later on?

Does the CARnage trophy only take APCs into account?
Have you played the good ending as well? I found the evil ending far better.

Some zones can only be lowered more by completing a main story line mission.

I dunno, I'm kind of expecting it to be a re-skin more than anything. Seems to handle pretty similarly to Neon based on traversal.

I keep hearing people say with end of these paper trail missions, we'll get a power. What might lead people to believe we will? Has this been confirmed?

There's plenty of news paper boxes around the city to suck paper power out of. I have faith it's coming.
Vire

I'd be pretty surprised if we didn't get it at this point. The website paper trail stuff is pretty elaborate and I doubt they would go through all that effort just for some simple side quests.
I could be totally wrong though.
Finished it earlier. Fantastic game all around. Random pros and cons:
+Good mission design
+You feel like a superhero, but combat is still challenging
+The powers are excellent and creative
+The story/characters are serviceable
+This is the best looking console game ever made
-Seattle is alright but not as deep as something like Liberty City
-The (good) ending was kind of lame
-The side characters needed more development and exposure
If I had to give an arbitrary score it'd be something like an 8.5/10. Best game on the system right now. And yeah neon was definitely my favorite power.
is awesome too.

Ya. I just want to be able to

I was banned last week so I couldn't post. But I went to a midnight launch for Infamous and there was a Sony rep there. He gave me some cool stuff. One of them was a pin of Delsin's dual birds symbol and the other was the Playstation Soundtrack vol. 4 (which has a selection of some memorable songs from Playstation franchises like GoW, Uncharted, TLoU, etc.)
He said the pin was pretty rare he only had some left. It was made by Penny Arcade.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Paper Power was just a tease and we get it in a DLC. Or we don't get it at all.
I mean if we were suppose to get it during the missions it would need to be around the 3-5 week or so, so we can use it to finish the rest of the missions. Since otherwise we'd just get the power and just have only DUP raids to use it on.
I'd love to be proven wrong and that we get it and then maybe in a DLC we get it and can power it up.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love that power, but I just wanted to know why people thought we were going to get a power with such little to go off of.
All Celia does is run away from us, and drop origami lol.
I want to believe!
