Ah cool, if its in line with past titles in the series, totally fine with that.
Plan to have a good/evil playthrough too, faith in inFamous restored

Far as I know Cole's Legacy is downloadable by preorder code only, so basically the retailer has to supply the code to download. Meaning, again from what I know, all these early copies will not have access unless the seller provided a code.
I could be wrong. Did anyone that got it from Cheetah have an insert inside the game for Cole's Legacy?
Day one is supposed to be release day.

It's an insert in the case from what I've seen of photos posted on here.
[edit]
Found the pic
14 hours in have a 89% completion and I only need 1 more collectible which I don't think is possible till basically the end.
Best infamous bar none in the series, melee attacks are dead on...the only skill that anyone can complain about mostly being a reskin is the standard shoot/r2 attack. Other than that there is actually a major variance that makes me choose one or the other in certain situations.....although I developed a favorite lol.
Will easily finish the game later today once I sleep.

If someone who has finished the game could tell me how many powers there are, under spoiler tags, that would be great.
Best next-gen game so far.
+ Best console visuals so far (need to see Ground Zeroes though)
+ Game is super fun. Traversal is great with all powers.
+ All the powers are amazing
+ Great setting
+ Great audio
- One quirk I had is that you can't move the camera while meleeing. Not that big of a deal but it would be nice to be able to plan your next movement, especially since the game can be fast paced depending on how you play
- I had a couple frame rate dips (maybe 2-3 times where I noticed it) but really this is a minor inconvenience. Most of the time it's really smooth. Feels like it's above 30 a lot of the time. I'm not sure though.
- Other than the story, there aren't really that many side missions? At least that I've seen, they're mostly just healing people, detecting things (you'll see), etc. Not really that varied outside of the main story (which wasn't that long, I felt, beat it in under 10 hours).
Great game. I'd probably give it 8.75/10. And I'd highly recommend it to any PS4 owner.
Four. Just writing random stuff so people can't be spoiled by the length of this post.
Pretty these are 100% optional and only benefit those seeking more karma, otherwise there not worth to do as they are random events
You're right, which is my point. There's basically not much to do outside of the story in terms of content (like side missions in GTA, etc)

Cool, thanks.
So that Cole Legacy DLC definitely isnt going to be available seperately at all? In the UK its tied to the more expensive SE version as we dont have a LE over here .
Anyone played it want to post spoilered comments if its good or not and worth getting the SE over the normal edition? I assume its not essential but as an Infamous fan I wanted the DLC. Love to see a vid of the DLC being played completely - be a good compromise...

So the side missions of what little there are, not really interesting? Is it really just two or three types?

The Cole Legacy DLC is not aviable yet (the game isn't officialy released), so we don't know if it worth buying the SE only for it.
And I'm pretty sure it will be purchasable later on PSN.

Thanks for the impressions. Seems a fair review.

Yeah, it's pretty barren with the side quests. There are things to do outside of missions though. But even that is easily completed and only nets you karma.

I was hoping for more like a 20hr campaign but I suppose it's more than that with the 2 play throughs. Friday can't come soon enough. There seems to be a huge push for the game here in the uk. I must of seen 6 adverts for it last night
Thanks and sorry, I just looked at the last couple of pages and realised it had been asked and answered. I think its been mentioned here that the devs said that piece of DLC isnt expected to be available later. Loathed to pay £60/$100 to ensure I get it...

In inFamous 1 side missions were used to clear areas of the map to make them safe for civilians and providing extra resuscitation points for Cole if he died, and some power upgrades were locked behind completion of side missions.
I'll be disappointed if they've reduced the benefits of completing side missions but not surprised in this "why can't I do everything straight away?" gaming culture of the moment.

You can get it for £50 from Tesco using the new customer code.

Like several others had mentioned before, 10-15 hours of game play per play through is in line with the series. SP expects the player to go through the game twice, playing both sides of the karma scale. Plus, it normally takes me a a tad bit longer to finish a game than the average gamer since I normally take my time with games and have such a busy schedule. If you played infamous 1 and 2, you may agree that having it only be 10-15 hrs is a sweet spot, because the story feels like it's wrapping up at a natural point and not being dragged out.

Dangit!
Why did I come back here? I don't like having all these impressions sitting in my mind, dammit. I wanted to go in fresh, and now I'm feeling all dried up...
I mean, god gaf, the game isn't out for another five days and people have already beaten it! Hrmph! Hmph!
oh sigh...

I agree for the most part but I'd give it a 9.5. I just built a PC with a 780 TI and I'm amazed at how good this looks. It might be the best looking game I've played.

UAVs have replaced carrying pigeons and when you destroy them you get something. This game shows you everything if you destroy a specific highly guarded DUP mobile command station. In that specific area it will then show you where to find all of the collectables and side mission stuff.
Sounds great,I expect the basic attack to be similar because that makes sense.
Man I going to enjoy this.

If you sign up for a new account at Tesco Direct and use the following code TDX-PR4N you get £10 off.
Right but I don't really consider that slightly short length at all though.

How is the length compared to Infamous 1 and 2? Is the amount of side content similar to those games? Because I got a LOT of playtime from those games. Also is there a blast shards equivalent? I wasted so much time in those games just hunting those down.

That's disappointing to hear. My favourite stuff in open world games are usually the random side stuff rather than the critical path. Are there minigames or fun things you can do as a superhero like races, causing as much havoc in an allotted time like Crackdown/Prototype?
That sounds like Ubisoft games. Thanks for the info.

Seems pretty straight forward. Most 9/10 games these days aren't 9/10 games.
The lowest seen is 9 hours and I think the highest was 14 or 15, both not 100% complete though.
Not if you compare it to the average retail game. But it might be slightly short if you compare it to the average open world game

I don't think i can wait for the patch, I'll see what it contains on my second play through.
I keep wanting to go home and play this game. I think I'll fire up remote play since i have my vita on me.

Are there famous grunge songs in the game? The commercials featured Nirvana and Mudhoney, so hopefully it's not only for marketing.
