Infamous: Second Son |OT| Smells Like Beanie Spirit

just based on screenshots, like all of you do too

Ok.

Infamous 2 actual in-game shots:

I won't even bother posting Secon Son shots. They are all over the thread. Its a fine looking game but come on...can we stop the silliness?
 
Second Son has to be one of the first next-gen games to actually use next-gen assets. Hopefully graphics like this will be the standard as developers become more familiar with the PS4's hardware, and there are less cross-gen games.

It would be interesting to see Second Son running on PC with really good AA and 60fps. It would probably be a contender for best looking game of all time at that point.

I'm not going to lie, that second screen looks pretty great! I might go play inF2 again before Friday lol

For the people who asked a few pages back. I find it way more fun being evil. Being good is almost like a chore and I agree with the reviewer on that.

Is the only way to be good by not killing enemies? If so, I'd probably agree. I want to headshot fools, not just incapacitate them

Sorry I don't sing praises to the game of your console of choice.
And what, trying to shit up an OT is any better? It's fine to have an opinion on the game but making hit and run remarks about its visuals while not explaining any of the claims well is silly. Saying stuff like 'X game looks better' or 'this game looks bad' without supporting your argument is stupid and can completely derail a thread.

Hell, you've even tried it before in here near the beginning of the thread:
Not very impressed, tbh, cute lighting system saves everything.

And you still haven't even given us an example of Watch Dogs looking better.

Edit: Well shit, you were banned. Not surprising. This wasn't the first time you've done this sort of thing recently, either.

Oh don't get me wrong, its a great looking game given the limitations of the hardware it was on. I loved it! Big fan of the series in general but good god its laughable to claim Second Son is a "minor" upgrade visually.
 
Can anybody who has the game early take some screencaps of these segments?

Pretty impressive how her face deforms in realtime.

I only took two share shots during that scene, but yeah; it looks as amazing as all the "bullshots" that have been floating around before release. My two highly compressed shots:

At the beginning of the game there's (not really a spoiler)
a scene with an old lady in a bed and, sweet baby jesus, her face animations are crazy.
And that was through a stream, I'd really like to see it from a direct feed.

I obtained the third power last night. I never would have guessed it; so good job there SP, but honestly neon is still my favorite power. Once you (minor spoiler about the neon power)
upgrade it so you can run unlimited
it's just godlike.


Same.

The power is Heart, isn't it? Motherfucking Captain Planet Crew assemble!

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.

Is the game short? That's disappointing to hear about lack of side missions.

EDIT: Oops, didn't realize this thread had grown since the last time you made this post, that and you said you beat it in 10 hours. That really bums me.
 
I can kinda agree with this. I'm only on smoke still, but a lot of the awesome moves are locked to being evil. Ah well, forces me to keep on getting head shots though.

Oh well, it'll make it even more rewarding on the second playthrough then when you can just rip through everything.

Even with all the compression this shot completely destroys the notion that Delsin's model isn't great.

I'm guessing that wasn't anything major, but could you please spoiler tag this? This isn't the place to leave spoilers in, there's a separate thread for all of that.

As I said earlier, if this thread gets too bad with spoilers because of all the people playing it at the moment I think I'll have to bail.
 
Yep. If you choose to be good then pedestrians will greet Delsin and take pictures of him sometimes.

I thought so. I remember pedestrians doing the same thing in the first Infamous game. Good to know that Sucker Punch is keeping that in. There's just something amusing on that gif with how the pedestrian waved hello to Delsin.

Anyway, I really ought to play the Infamous 2 before jumping on Second Son but, damn, seeing all these screenshots will make that painful! Haha!

I haven't found it hard or anything to be good. It's pretty easy to subdue enemies. I've only killed a couple civilians so far.

I like this shot, just curious but is this one of the realtime cutscenes? iirc there are only 4 that are done offline in-engine, but this screenshot (besides the usual compression) doesn't show those blocky video compression artifacts.

Edit: Also a final question, since most of the cutscenes are realtime, does fetch's model for example match her gameplay model? Like when you zoom in.

I decided to check out one of the streams last night on PSN. Of course right when I open the stream it has text on the bottom where Delsin is talking about his new power. Apparently most people already knew about this particular power but it was still a huge bummer.

Do I need to understand the first two games to play this one? I never had a ps3. Where could I easily read or watch or a summary?

What kind of idiot comes into an OT to thread shit and start console war bullshit? I even tried to warn him, that he should have really considered, what thread he was in.

On topic: I'm possibly the least technical savvy guy on Earf, but is it possible to patch a feature like
new game+
after release?

You should spoiler that for those that haven't played. I'd be upset at this if I hadn't already played the game.
Are you serious? I spoiler tagged it but it's pretty ridiculous to consider that a spoiler.
 
He's banned lol, over something so stupid, why would anyone come to an OT thread and start that nonsense? Seriously are people this childish? It's a video game why do peeps take it so serious all the time?

I wish I understood this too.

And it's partly everyone else's fault too, getting riled up by it. The comment could have so easily been buried under the [in my opinion, totally justified] hype in this thread.
