inFAMOUS Second Son power ideas

If we do end up getting this (which i hope we do, it sounds awesome), I'd like it to be the equivalent of the super-powered gravity gun from the end of HL 2. By that i mean it the most powerful power in the game, which you only get on the final mission and new game+. Then again, I'd just like it to be in there in the first place.
So far we have seen 2 very uncommon powers (neon and smoke), so I'd say generic element powers such as fire, water earth and wind are more unlikely, but could make an appearance as a combination (smoke kinda looks like fire and wind). So I'd say powers like magnetism are less probable than, say, oil, rubber, or glue. you have to think of what a city is made of, take basic elements and transform them into interesting powers.
Smoke it too alike. sand maybe? We definitely need to see some kind of power which holds your enemy down.
I could see this happening.

Glue powers, I mean, that kind of power wouldn't be misinterpreted as something else.
Dang it. They should at least let you gain health by ordering some from a coffee shop. You have mini games to earn money so Delsin can feed his coffee drinking habit.
that's not a bad idea. I'd love to essentially be banshee.

Earnest replies aside. Do Sucker Punch still have a massive inferiority complex about Naughty Dog? I mean both are tps, with empowerment sprinkles. Is it a thing, or has the Internet moved on to other things?

Orange Safety Cone powers? Always plenty of those around Seattle!
But maybe this takes place far enough into the future where all the roadwork has actually gotten completed!

what are you even talking about
The 12th man power (noise). He runs around screaming and clapping creating shockwaves. He can make a screeching sound and the DUP become full of fuck and grab their ears. You then can run up to them and rap. Delsin will be the only superhero with something to say.
Huh?
Erm, what the hell? inFamous and Uncharted are nothing alike.
What? not sure how this relates to the thread much, but whatever. And i'm going to say no and that it never existed in the first place. These two games are almost completely different aside from the fact that you're a male who shoots things in third person. And even that's much different in many ways.
It's like comparing mario kart to forza.

My guesses, based on the location
ROCK, to satisfy a slower, more powerful and deliberate sort of gameplay niche
RAIN, for weaker area of effect attacks, obvious inclusion because seattle
SOUND, for concussive shockwave-style attacks; absorbed from busy intersection and public disturbances
FUEL - steal gas from vehicles and generators. Melee explodes. What happens when you're shot? You fuckin explode. Explosions and fire everywhere
and based on pure conjecture the ones I think are less likely
some human expression based power like noted above where you absorb shit like graffiti, statues, street music, etc. for extremely situational power ups (imagine possessing a large statue or pasting your enemies into to walls) would be cool as fuck and super unique
technological interfacing to control and direct vehicles, weapons, etc.

I have a feeling that lightning will make it into this game somehow.
It would be cool if they had a wind power. With extended flight ability. Time abilities are cool too, but I doubt they would go that route.
Like maybe evil-cole dimension jumps and becomes the final boss or something.

Enemies seem to need more powers not the main character.

Trash power. Become a human trash heap.
No source for that power though.
The power of WubWub

Spirit axe, spirit bow or tripping massively from herbs and shrooms
Metal power where you become heavy and slow t1000 metalform looking dude that can take explosions and bullets no problem. But do not let opponents too close as they have means of capturing you trough magnetism or what ever.
Magnetism would be cool power too.
Electromagnetism. You need to charge electricity to be able to use maagnetism powers.
Have pieces of metal flowing´/spinning around you and you can throw those too. pick up cars/ car parts and throw them to enemys.
Source is Delsin himself. It is gonna be his ultimate power.
well you just show the impact if you catch my drift. like just pushing things away or something, dunno how can that be fun
yea, but it would be soooo cool, wouldn't it? imagine that every time you, say, threw a "sound" grenade it makes a different sound of the city: car horns, birds chirping, people talking. the melee weapons would have to have the chain create some kind of sound like and instrument.
Yea, drain it from a car, boombox, speakers(with the military thing going on theres sure to be lots) T.V.'s.

could require a degree of positional strategy to play with. Weak unless you slam enemies into walls or off of buildings
Spirits? Could be citizens (willing or unwilling) or your ancestors (graves/hallowed ground/etc)

yeah there's a lot of reasons why I think that sound is a shoe-in and that's one of them. There's noise everywhere in a city. Everywhere.
It's either that or Fuel but one of them is in I'm sure of it
I guess I can see that,but who would willing to give their spirit away?

Lol true. Maybe it's kinda vampiric and you can choose to only drain part of their soul?
I think I just really want a new Soul Reaver...

hahaha, that'd be amazingly silly

God's had his chance.
The coolest aspect to the "sound" powers to me would be the effect on the environment when you fill up your powers bar...standing in the middle of an intersection after a big fight.. people screaming, cars exploding and crackling with fire, horns honking, some left over enemy gunfire going off - just a crazy din of different stuff - then you click in the touch pad and slowly all the sound in the area starts to tone out to the point where if you sit there and hold the button down you are just standing in a strange isolated area of complete and utter silence.
Let the button go after charging up and all the noise comes back as if from a dream or some far away hill... could be a really cool example of god-tier sound design...

Hehe dont worry I understand.
Looking at the E3 gameplay I think we can see lots of potential power sources.

Musical notes riding on shock waves!
What can I say, I quite like the idea of using the roaming civilians as a power source, I presume that bioleach has gone so I have thought of a better use for the Jane and John does living their lives... *laughs maniacally*

Yep, that would be fantastic. Not sure how the power itself could be pulled off though.

No rain powers, unless Sucker Punch is lying. They specifically called that out when they discounted water powers in I believe a Polygon interview.
Possess street vermin (stray dogs or cats, packs of rats, flocks of pigeons)
Traversal is however the animal moves, and can get in places or find things in ways Delsin can't (dog nose, cat vision, prolonged flight, chew your way into a place sealed off). Combat can range from singular powerful dogs biting, couple of cats scratching, or flocks of pigeons distracting and swarms of rats overwhelming the enemy.
This is best. Agree with me.
