And Titan Fall, Heroes of Newerth beta, and a lot more. It's been busy this week.
Alright it's 2:30 in the morning. I'm going to bed; here are a few more screens. I've decided not to share any cutscenes.
These screenshots almost made me poop. Wow. Thanks for sharing!

Either way I'm going to get my Infamous fix.

Same here. I'm looking at ONE site in particular to ruin everything.

After what I've seen, I'd be surprised if review scores are lower than 8. I really believe it's that good.

I wonder what the average will be?
I'd like to think it will be a high 8 average like Titanfall.

Worst case scenario is the reviewers nitpicking when they don't have the balls to nitpick for a certain game.

low score because it doesn't have UGC. Does this game have MP? if not. -2 points for not having MP because GTAV did and it's great.

Reviewers can pick apart pacing, art style, and the morality system as not being to their liking. You can't really worry about reviews or metacritic. Just hope that you like it personally, and that goes for the morality system or whatever else is in the game that you might not like the taste of.
After watching quick looks and seeing them play Shadow of the Colossus, I can't really worry too much about what the journalists like. Just use the reviews for more information if you need it before you buy a game. "What, Monky Squad 3 has escort missions 50% of the time? Screw that!"

MY GOD! I just had a quick look on Youtube and came across a 40 minute playthrough. I watched just 5 seconds of a cut scene and turned it off. The quality of animation and acting was fantastic.

Pretty much. Even 10 seconds in, it feels like the narrative quality of the game are leaps and bounds above the previous inFamous games.
Had to cut off after 20 seconds. So good.

As far as reviews go, I don't see how this can review below the other inFamous games, it's literally taken everything from those games and made it way better. Plus the added production values in the cutscenes add so much to the game, I was shocked I was playing an inFamous game while watching those cutscenes. I only have 1 power and the game is an abdolute blast to play, it is now 4 am and I am dead tired and all I want to do is go downstairs to my basement, dim the lights and dive in again.

Was it a bed scene by any chance? Don't tell me anymore than 'yes', I didn't watch all of it.

Nah, reviewer always find ways to nitpick.
I personally don't care about score, but SP deserves some recognition.

Haha for sure. I'm on as much as a blackout as I can be. I almost gave in and watched the first 20 minutes video that got posted yesterday. Turned it off about a minute in. Its been hard.

God this game looks amazing. Really hope the game part holds up. Wasn't sold about this being a system seller b/c the series has always been a little rough around the edges but hopefully I'm wrong.
Ps4 needs that showcase game.

I WAS going to but that first 5 seconds was SO good I just couldn't. 1 FULL week to go

I believe it's locked others believe it's not locked. I just judged by how Tomb Raider looked to me and this definitely doesn't look like that framerate wise.

Did anyone capture it or is it still up?? I am up to be a bit spoiled!
Ugh. Bolted-on multiplayer that saps all the fun out of the game is anything but great in my books.
We have impressions from to people saying its really good.
Soon we have more impressions today.
Locked sounds good to me as long as it's steady. Of all companies Ubisoft did a really good job with AC4 on PS4, I was impressed with the locked 30 in that game.
Man I'm happy I snagged this before our Canuck price increases.

It looks like it has to be at least as good as the first 2 and they were good so I'm assuming this one will be good too.

Okay, I am now officially excited.
For anyone in Australia planning on getting this from EB Games: Target will have it on release day for $74 instead of the $99 that EB Games is selling it for, so get it from Target or just tell EB Games when you get there that Target is selling it cheaper so they match the price for you.

Ugh, I hate you T-T
Shiiiieeeeet. But I ordered the LE one with the beanie and DLC. Is Target selling that one too?
What? That's the best part of reviews. Always entertaining.
I'm ignoring them in this case, I encourage you to do the same. Only for games I'm really on the fence about do I read tons of reviews. And GAF review threads are painful....

In my opinion, it's great and I never was that high up on the inFamous games. I enjoyed them, but I felt like something was always lacking, this game addresses all my concerns I used to have. Controlling Delsin is great, graphics look amazing, cutscenes and acting are top notch by video game standards, gameplay wise it's a blast. It's just fun fighting things in this game and I am still on smoke powers only, the more abilities you unlock the more fun the game becomes, you start using more diverse ways to take enemies down.

I think it will review ok.
I am expecting one "should single-player only offline games exist in a post-titanfall world?" quote though.
unknownstranger

If he's talking about the same one I just watched, it's still up. The first 20ish minutes are new. Stopped after that as it's the part we've already seen.
I agree with you. I'm sure the game will no doubt be appreciated.

The Titanfall count : 'Will Titanfall be mentioned in Second Son's review? If so, by how many and by who? Especially in what context?"
I expect Sessler to drop a Titanfall mention or two.
Target is just selling the game itself, no special editions or anything so anyone wanting EB to drop the price can only get them to do it if they're just getting the game rather than the LE.
