Infamous: Second Son |OT| Smells Like Beanie Spirit

So I don't want to know what they are but can someone spoiler tag how MANY powers there are in the game?

4 have been confirmed - I've even seen the upgrade screens for each so I know they're legit. But I've heard there might be more. I'm skeptical, as I have yet to see any evidence supporting 5 or more. I think it's just the four I've seen. But the two unseen powers are pretty awesome, especially the third..

Yes, this was the only part of the review that didn't make much sense to me. Was he just not looking in the right places for sources of neon/smoke? Because in every preview I have seen there are multiple sources of both spread throughout the battlefield. Also you can destroy cars for additional sources of smoke. However, seeing as the whole demo was pretty deliberate, the multiple sources of could have just been put there for the demo.

In the open world they're pretty plentiful but there's an issue with time. You wipe most enemies out so fast that making the effort to get to one of those points feels like a waste. There's other times in set pieces or specific environments where you have only one, etc.

Edit: To clarify, I'm only talking about swapping powers mid-fight.

That's it, not scavenging for pictures anymore. I will just (painfully) wait until Friday.
 
Oh weird, it releases on a Friday? I wonder why.

Just means it's more imperative that Amazon gets that shit here on time for the weekend. Looking forward to this.

OK the third power is really growing on me now; I wasn't using it correctly before. SP has created a real gem with this game.

I might be the only person that's completed the game that won't admit to there being a third power. I wonder if people are bummed out about that.
 
This doesn't look too hot. Texture quality could've been better for a next gen game... I guess I expected too much. Tbh, Watch Dogs looks better.

Watchdogs doesn't touch ISS lol. Look at the rest of the pics game looks fabulous, any game can look not so hot in 1 particular cherry picked shot.

Sorry I don't sing praises to the game of your console of choice.
1) Please look at the thread you're currently posting in, and strongly reconsider bringing console war bullshit in here.
2) We've already had an entire thread dedicated to comparing them. If you want more comparisons, direct your attention there.

Doesn't look much of a next gen too me. I thought we are past low res textures by now.

You know what? I think textures are affected by slope dope. So if we're at Delsin's height in that shot, we need to adjust our eyes to a certain angle and wait for the image to travel back. I don't know the math.
 
Saw the live action commercial on tv for the first time, looked great!

Thats the kind of ads that draws attention and hopefully they really push it as this game looks exciting.

?? Funny how you pick one shot with massive draw distance, again show me 1 game with that type of draw distance with high res textures that far away?? All other shots looks by far like the best looking game we have seen on consoles. Look at the other screens, not to mention people who played it, and even sites liek IGN others saying ti is the first game to looks true nexy gen.

You are obvious here out of jealousy because it';s not on your console of choice.

I'm talking about Delsin's model, what is the draw distance has to do with anything? He doesn't look much better than the second game.

I don't think I've seen a single post by kazebyaka, about anything, that didn't make me say "what the fuck?" He's like a bot that has perfected the algorithmic generation of horrible opinions.
