Another Infamous: Second Son screenshot (offscreen) [Up: More Images]

well we got smoke (the power seems similar to fire), Neon (seems similar to electricity) so yeah I guess we'll get something similar to ice here.

but I'm hoping for air power since Aang > Korra

I think the problem of adding air power is that air is everywhere so he wouldn't need to recharge. But we'll see, I hope they can find a way to make it work.
 
why wouldn't it? It's a generation apart man, they talk about 10 times the power, why wouldn't you expect something of the sort?

I'm just trying to tone down my expectations that's all. I do hope *fingers crossed* that the game will look exactly like that.
 
Thanks.

Remember when people said next-gen would never reach the graphical fidelity, but get close enough at the end of the gen?

Yeah, we are reaching it, and in less than 6 months of the new consoles arriving.

No, i get it.
But if you've been playing on high end PC in the last few years, i guess the transition isn't as drastic.

Games like Sleeping Dogs maxed out aren't nearly as good, but are a nice middle of the road stepping stone.

Anyway, yeah, it looks gorgeous.

Not even six months. First three months in an open world game from a mid sized studio not known for tech and possibly even running at 60. Sony must have started feeding them whatever they give to ND, SSM, Polyphony, and GG.
 
It was excellent, but then it had a terrible final episode that spoiled basically everything about the amazing villain and the conflict that had been built up. Season 2's looking alright, though it seems to have a totally different premise.

I thought Korra was great. It was on par with The Last Airbender IMO.

Loved it, really picked up after a few episodes.


Thanks for the impressions everyone. I'll make sure to check it out. :)

I am sure thw internal Sony teams are helping SP. They share a lot of tech.
 
Dammit, I can't believe I forgot to wrote "The Samaritan" in my post. Don't know how I let it pass.

Anyway, I think this is getting close to that. At least in those new pics.
 
We need to let the hype simmer abit.

Lets pretend Second Son has photo mode like GT5.
Nothing stops this train.

Man, I should not have clicked on this thread. I was trying to avoid footage and was able to stay strong through Gamescom but PAX has been too much.
 
bu-bu-bu Wii fans told me we'd get diminishing returns!

I'm all over this game and I can't wait for it to come out even though I've never played inFamous, but I also can't wait for Super Smash and Mario Kart to come out and it is true, diminishing returns, for most people. Most of my friends who game every now and then don't notice all the particle effects and reflections and impressive shaders. They didn't see a big difference between Sleeping Dogs and GTA IV. They just want to play games and don't notice the differences as much. I'm stoked to see night time gameplay with rain, but for many it won't have the same impact.

Edit : Naming SSB and Mario Kart is because they're not as technically impressive, but gameplay wise it's top notch and that's why I'm more eager to try SSB than any other game shown so far. I'm glad this and TitanFall seem to have nice gameplay innovations too, the mixing/combining of elements/powers is something I built a game design document around a little while ago and it has me interested, A LOT. TitanFall seems to bring much new stuff to online FPS multiplayer on consoles, like I loved IW doing with COD2 and 4. At the same time, you have stuff that's announced with gameplay that looks really lacking.
 
Here's your AAA answer MS :p

Seriously though this game is coming along well, the most "next gen" looking title Ive seen on the consoles.
