I'd say they're on par. Before I'd've agreed with you but Lightning-based powers have grown on me lately.
And I said goddamn.

Bullshots, bullshots everywhere and not a drop to drink.
That's really impressive. Looks super clean. It's been up since June 11th... How did I miss this?

It actually takes place in Seattle.

It is really clean, and this is just a screen grab.

I hope the gameplay holds a candle to the visuals.
Infamous 2 was pretty stale compared to the first game.

Thats because it's using Bokeh blur, rather than crappy Gaussian blur we've been subject to this gen. Hopefully this becomes more common next gen.

Everybody needs to download that gamersyde gameplay vid.

The problem with infamous series in my opinion is sub quests.
2 did better job than 1, but it was still not enough. I hope second son actually brings something more interesting when it comes to sub quests.
That's an interesting move for the team, I wonder why.
I love this shot.

Looking forward to this. Is anyone else doing the super hero open world thing besides Saints Row 4?
Um?
'Um' what?
didn't know this was a ubisoft game.
i dream of a future neogaf where posting bullshots/thumbnail gifs/assorted non-interactive bullshit and passing it off as representative of gameplay is given the same mod treatment as spreading other deliberately obfuscated or distorted information.

Old games had fictional cities. (though based on real ones)
@StuBurns: They said since their studio is based in Seattle, they know the city really well and given the higher fidelity, they wanted to set it in a city that felt real, and they were able to get the essence of Seattle really well, since they know it.
I don't know why they used the real name though.

Because the team is based there?
They live there. They almost never fail to mention why they went with Seattle in their interviews.

Cuz SP is based in Seattle and they wanted to base it around a hipster city for a hipster character. Just kidding, I live in Seattle and I'm ecstatic about this game and SP's imagining of the city

I think the first picture is an earth ability which I think delsin will get later in the game.

I really wish we could reach those levels of anti-aliasing.
That doesn't answer what I asked though. I wanted to know why they went from giving fake names to their first two cities to just using the real name this time. That's an unusual decision to me.
I just like the concept of the America in the inFamous universe consisting of Empire City, New Marais, and Seattle.
They said that with the PS4 they won't have to use fogging to control the level of detail shown, and now they're using it even more. Good one.
I already said this a few times, but the pop-in is more frequent and in smaller distance than in the PS3 inFamous games. What gives? Get on that freaking tessellation bandwagon already...

Maybe they didn't feel like mapping out the actual cities and now they want to since it almost feels like a reboot on new hardware.

I keep getting the feeling that the gap between PS4 and XB1 is gonna be bigger than we think.

I agree. I had hoped the 8GB GDDR5 would be put to good use here.
Not running on final dev kits and the fog is because it's in Seattle, not because of technical reasons.
And Sony Santa Monica man!

This is the best use of particle effects of any game to date.
They add so much to the scene and make SENSE.
Unlike hawking or most physicsX nvidia stuff.

They said it isn't a 1:1 mapping of the city, but it does contain all of the important stuff that defines Seattle. They will probably make up or change some areas for artistic or gameplay purposes.

? Pop-in, draw distance seem to be much improved over the PS3 games. Also, the time of day means the scene is suffused with light. There is heat haze, didnt see any fog...
Yeah, but electricity pretty much ushered in the modern age.
It isn't, Sucker Punch (Infamous series) productions are owned by Sony.
Assorted non-interactive? Would you care to clarify?
