Alright. If there are in fact 4+ powers and they're all as comprehensive as what we have here with smoke, I'm officially in love with this game.

 

[Betty]

Seems all the best powers are locked behind bad karma, it even has more upgrade slots.

But isn't Betty a womans name

Spoiler

I could take your big toe for saying that.

Question, what do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord?

Has anyone confirmed if the last power is

mind control?

 

[redtails64]

Yeah, I'm in love with the skill tree. It makes me glad we can upgrade powers as well as earn more. I thought we'd be restricted to the set of moves earned with each power.

nyaaa haha haha ENOUGH

 

[Endo Punk]

If concrete and mind control are the other powers then I am not pleased at all. Neon and Smoke look so good that I was hoping the hidden ones would be even more creative and awesome. Hell I'd even take a tongue of fury power over boring concrete.

 

[Hidden One]

Someone hook me up with a stream link via PM D:

 

[Darryl M R]

I'm assuming you can't max out bad karma then go back to good to unlock all the skills? Since there might be a bad karma dash and a good karma dash that uses the same combination.

They've said smoke is evil

Neon is good

Ya I'm with you there, glass and paper would have been infinitely more interesting.

 

[Hidden One]

Link to a stream pls?

Nah. Evil neon headshots make enemies dissolve

Link to a stream pls?

Streams are all dead

See, this is why saying that they're keeping things hidden under the reason of not wanting to show too much is a bad idea. People start speculating on how many power there is and what are they and risk disappointment when the real power is not up to people's expectation. It'd be much better for sucker punch to just lie and say that theres only 2 power, smoke and neon with skill tree. So when we actually got 3rd and 4th power, it will come as pleasant surprise.

Naughty dog handle this kind of thing much better

Completely disagree ND spoils way too much of their games in the trailers.

 

[Jonboy]

Those first 20 minutes that leaked were fantastic. I was concerned about the writing / characters / cutscenes, but they all appear to deliver - at least, judging from the first moments of the game.

But now on to my next issue: are there enough things to do in the world outside of main missions?

From the looks of the map above, it's all destroying DUP stuff and collecting shards. That seems to be about it.

I hope there's a lot more to do...

Exactly.

UGC made up for it in 2. But the first was pretty lackluster as far as extracurricular stuff is concerned.

Going by the leaked trophy list, I think there will be plenty to do. Plus you essentially have 2 playthroughs to see/experience everything.

They spoiled the majority of uncharted 3

The only thing they kept secret was

How do you drain mind control?

Also, I'd be fine with it since it seems like a power designed to dick around with the AI.

Uncharted maybe, I didnt feel that with the last of us at all.

 

[sjay1994]

Well yeah, last of us is much more scaled back than uncharted.

They really spoiled so much of uncharted 3.

 

[sjay1994]

Ok... I need to never come back to this thread until I get and beat the game.

I've possibly spoiled the powers (mind control sounds cool to me (have no idea how you drain it though) concrete was staring us dead in the face)

I don't want to see what the power sets can do.

So blackout time.

 

[matrixman92]

a friend mentioned the distinct design of all the satellite dishes around the city...then i noticed that they really did stand out during some of the streams..Im thinking it will be some kind of waves or something...maybe soundwaves

Absorb it from people I guess, like festival of blood

 

[v1lla21]

Will there be UGC in Second Son?

I was thinking radio waves, something most people use everyday to some capacity.

I believe I read an article saying that SP were only allowed to put the Space Needle in the game if:

1. You couldn't climb to the top.
2. You couldn't die from falling off it.

It's being streamed by one of the devs....?

That's.. strange. Is its architecture copyrighted or something?

Yeah... a dev *COUGH*

I'm not sure, but it seems to be true. This guy spent a while trying to get to the top of the needle and it kept cutting him off at the same point.

Yeah saw that but figured it was locked off till later in the game perhaps

I think it what I said was mentioned in the Podcast IGN did a few days back.

Massive bummer, was one of the first things I wanted to do

Yep. Think his position confused the Ai.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

So that's the purpose of Directv, scattered all over the city.

Dudes, this game look frigging gorgeous.

 

[Lucent]

How does hitting enemies feel with melee? Any vibration? Feel impact?

 

[aly]

So what are we looking at???

Don't question it, just feel it.

Bayonetta cameo I hope.

Angels!?

 

[Arun1910]

Spoiler

Angels, using TV's as portals, with weird wings. Guessing radiowaves is going to be a power, or some sort of wave. Fits well with the satellite theory someone had earlier.

Wow at this section. Great music, unique enemies, good acting...this game is looking quite nice.

edit: it just went to another level of weird. Nice.
