Look at how low res these background buildings are..
the whole image looks bad. they should push this game into 2015.

There should be more tampons in gaming
I don't want to say me but I said the exact same thing like 10 posts above his lol but no one seemed to pay my comment any attention. When you take into consideration that Delsin is a "Parasite" the conclusion we came to makes perfect sense.

Screenshots certainly don't compare to watching that whole thing in motion, it's beautiful.
Last thing I think I'll do when I shoot up a vent at lightning pace with the smoke and particles everywhere is stop for that split second to take in the building in the distance.

Nothing is confirmed, but I remember they talked about it in a video at some point in a general sense. And it seems to make sense overall, as opposed to switching power sets entirely at will. That just seems cheap.

Where is this shot from?

Like I have said. The most impressive next gen title.

I immediately noticed this. LoD doesn't seem so hot. Gameplay looks like a ton of fun though.
To be honest it simply looks like it's just not finished yet. Unless they just had a massive snowstorm on the nearby rooftops and streets.
It's from the video in OP.

It looks so damn good. I just can't wait till this comes out.
I assumed this would be obvious. I have no doubts this will be the best looking console game ever released at launch.
Nothing looks particularly high-res in that compressed video frame. Just look at his jacket.
Particles this gen will be awesome. We're going to see all kinds of sweet particle effects (with physics) on these consoles.
I hope they ramp up the environmental destruction in this game.
Thanks. Hope they improve by launch.

After 10 years of being in Xbox land, this is the game I'm most looking forward to playing when I move across to PS4. Looks incredibly well realised, and the game mechanics thus far look nice and tight. Most importantly of all though, it looks like it could be a real blast to play.

Are all melee actions always slowed down? What other powers have they announced besides smoke?

This game has quickly gone from passing interest to one of my most hyped games. Can't wait

Haha bravo.
I was going to say how they all act like a bunch of 7 year olds on the playground, who the hell talks in sounds once they are old enough to go to the bathroom alone.

That clip of Delsin running towards the broken down bridge is just stunning. I can't wait to get my hands on this game.
It's hard not to talk like that when describing attacks and movements like Delsin has.
Shiggy diggy.

Fuck Titan Fall. Have you seen Second Son?
That was really rad!
This game really looked incredible from the E3 videos- I really loved 1+2, and the series just keeps evolving. I'm still not sure I like the design of Delsin, but those smoke powers are brilliant.
Diving through vents, and free falling in Phoenix form! Consider me excited!

Yeap! I wish Sony would release some drivers for it...

They're slowing them down for the vid to show off the effects. The all-gameplay vid out there didn't slow down when he performed the melee actions.
no other powers have been announced.
Smoke is indeed the permanent ones, but I believe any others you gain will be temporary as well on top of the smoke, they did not mention anything about other powers you gain being situational, or non-permanent.
They have mentioned however being able to select a control scheme for the power-combination that you prefer, which could imply that its your choice which power-combinations you want to use, and means you can retain powers rather than them being temporary.
But yeah, it's all speculation right now.
I think that's all part of the smoke power. I don't think we've seen any others yet.

Honestly, it doesn't look as bad in motion.Look at how low res these background buildings are..

There are other powers that you can absorb from defeating others

This. After I am done with Watch Dogs.
Yup, I know. Had a typo in my post, wrote "permanent" instead of "temporary" in one of the sentences.
I was referring to whether other additional powers you get remain temporary or permanent is speculation (and I believe that it'll be permanent and you'll get to choose which power set you want to use at any one time).
Going to watch the vid right now, so in case it says something that contradicts what I wrote, I will change this post.

I'm pretty confident they'll sort this out before release. JUst looks like LOD texture streaming issues. Compression doesn't help.
Even from video captures the game still looks amazing, and this is pre-alpha footage. Game is 6 months away and will have a crap tonne of polish done.
I reckon it's going to end up looking better by launch, and I'm sure they'll touch up the texture issues on distant buildings etc.
I'm guessing it would be permanent. Which in a way might lead into a cool new choice-tree of sorts where you have to keep picking between different sets of powers as you go..I'm speculating here of course

This game looks nice, I'm buying the ps4 the day this comes out.
I really think that they may be bringing in the inFAMOUS/FAMOUS system into play with the absorption of powers if there is an option for permanent absorption.
Like you'd have opportunities to get powers, and if you choose to get it permanently the conduit would die, if you want to absorb temporarily, the person will just get knocked out.
