How many powers are we guessing it'll have more than the 2 already shown anyway? The 3rd and maybe last power could simply be the rock one that we've seen ennemies use.

Nate Fox used the plural of power when speaking about unannounced stuff.

I think the rock stuff is a pretty safe bet, it's probably the DUP lady you absorb in the last act.

So I've been looking at gameplay videos closely and I must admit, paint is looking likely to be a power. In every section of the game that's been shown there has been paintings/graffiti in the vicinity.

And of course, the Second Son logo has paint dripping off it.

Paint would be really cool. Mechanics similar to Contrast/Link Between Worlds for stealth or something else (I'm unimaginative) could make for interesting opportunities. Not sure how it could be used for traversal (become flat? 2D?)

Yeah and Delsin does Graffiti as well.

Nah,I doubt we get any power the regular enemies has.

 

[Galactic Barret]

Turning into puddles for stealth, ala Secret World of Alex Mack.

 

[Shredderi]

If one of the powers is indeed paint/graffiti then what kind skills do you think there would be? I'm not outright denying the possibility, but I have a hard time coming up with relatively plausible paint abilities. I might just lack imagination though

 

[ReaperXL7]

My prediction for powertypes are

Known:
Smoke
Neon

Possibilities:
Metal/Steal
Electricity
Music(possibly grunge related)
A nature based power(earth/plant)
and some form of psychic powertype.

These are my current guesses.

 

[Kyoufu]

and some form of psychic powertype.

Apparently Telekinesis won't be a power in this game according to SP. I don't know if they're trolling or not, but I'll take their word for it I guess.

 

[Shredderi]

Electricity
Music(possibly grunge related)

How about a combination of those? Delsin runs around with an electric guitar unleashing electricity based attacks by playing Them Bones. Delsin of course is the amplifier himself.

Ahh I was not aware they had specifically ruled out any powertypes officially.

That would be pretty awesome imo. It would be a sweet replacement of Cole's tuning fork from the second game.

Music just makes sense givin the setting, and they had a Nirvana cover in one of the trailers.

Paint sounds like an awesome unique power.

 

[Mistouze]

Pigeon powers! Throw corrosive crap at ennemies.

I know right? If I had to bet, then my money would be on a sound/noise based power.

 

[Loudninja]

I would like to see music as a a as power.

Even though that would be hard to pull off.

 

[Wensih]

Hmm...

I just died. My vision has been realized!

Not really, if it where attached to a guitar then I would imagine it could be similar to:

 

[Lord of Castamere]

If the guitar was pure energy it would be cool. He adsorbs from the source and you see the music flow towards you and form a guitar. I could dig it.

 

[dapperbandit]

I like the way they've gone the non-obious route so far and from what they've said it seems we can more or less rule out all the classic elemental powers like water/fire/earth/air. Of all of those I wouldn't have minded water since it would make sense as a power since it could be absorbed from many places.

That said I really hope some of the suggestions in this thread aren't in the game.

Sucker Punch are doing the right thing I think, the other powers should be a surprise.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Have we seen rain yet? Id like to imagine water not being a power, but a weakness. Like when it rains delsin can no longer use his smoke/fire power.

And paint would be interesting. I cant help but imagine shooting paintballs from fingertips like an automatic weapon.

 

[Humza3]

Delsin becomes super Saiyan the only way to recharge powers is to ask NPCs to give him their energy.
