Can somebody confirm if the "kill it with fire" hud was indeed final?

 

[Arun1910]

They've tweaked it a bit by making the bar in the lower left hand corner smaller pushed everything to the edge of the screen.

It's pretty much the same though.


Also let's make sure to be discreet about that Ustream link people.

I have the link if you want it. It's also super easy to find. Just don't post it in any thread.

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

Streaming live on playstation right now.

 

[DedValve]

Don't want to spoil myself on any story bits but are there any new powers?

 

[Magicman103]

Currently he is learning Fetch's backstory so fetch spoilers on the stream right now.

 

[redtails64]

I think I've spoiled myself enough for the rest of the week.

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

I'm gonna stop watching soon since I've spoiled enough already but man does this game look pretty

Ahh I knew it was unrealistic to think that they were actually using another one when they said it was not final, but I was a bit hopeful since it really looked bad. I'm not one to complain about trivial stuff like that, but it's what it is.

At least they reduced that bar which was the worst offender IMO.

 

[Magicman103]

Oh hey I've seen this before! And now we're at the part that was showed off on all the gaming sites for the past week. The dude chose to redeem fetch.

 

[Arun1910]

Spoiler

So Blast shards now fly around? Cool!

 

[jett]

So in the end the HUD is exactly the same as before, eh. The soundmix seems to be the same too as the earlier build. I guess neon sounding weak as shit is on purpose.

What's that black block that appears on screen every now and then?

 

[Loudninja]

Pretty sure the day one patch is not up, so who knows about the HUD.

 

[Prelude.]

What's that black block that appears on screen every now and then?

Censored notifications.

 

[stryke]

privacy with PMs and whatnot

 

[jett]

Gotcha.

 

[BlazinAm]

Any link to his stream, I found another stream, my fault sorry

 

[Magicman103]

 

[Prelude.]

They should fix the ds4's speaker sounds through streaming, they're deafening.

 

[TimeEffect]

privacy with PMs and whatnot

Why does it take up the whole damn screen

 

[EightBitNate]

Does anyone have a link to the original 20 minute video? Seems like it was wiped off the face of the Earth.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Any link to his stream, I found another stream, http://www.twitch.tv/tecnetic .

Holy shit the amount of polish on this game is incredible. Its so fluid and beautiful. When he smoked through the vent on that six story or so building, it went from ground floor to amazing vista without a hiccup. SP have really stepped up a notch in my book.

 

[Darryl M R]

Just to be safe I don't think we should be posting or quoting links to streams.

 

[Magicman103]

Any link to his stream, I found another stream, .

Dude remove the URL! If you want the link to the stream PM me or BlazinAm.

 

[Dodecagon]

Anyone know if the streamers have the day one patch?

 

[EightBitNate]

Anyone know if the streamers have the day one patch?

Uh... Wouldn't it be released Day 1?

 

[Darryl M R]

In regards to the patch will the really wait until Day 1 to send it out? What about video game reviewers? Though with how SP is currently handling things I bet they emailed each reviewer personally the patch to download. It's incredible how they kept most of this game a secret.

 

[Dodecagon]

Uh... Wouldn't it be released Day 1?

Maybe, I just called it the day one patch. I just know there's a 350mb patch they strongly recommend downloading. If it's really running well without it, it's even more impressive.

 

[Magicman103]

Another pic of the skill tree. Certain things are locked behind good and evil karma.

 

[Loudninja]

I am loving the skill tree.

 

[jet1911]

Man those climbing animations/transitions are horrible. Straight from infamous 2 it seems.

 

[Draper]

Is clipping through shit the final power?

 

[Shaka]

Can anyone send me a link to a live stream please?

 

[jpd1408]

Link me?

 

[Darryl M R]

Stream looks like its dead.

 

[Ishan]

pm working links plz

 

[Magicman103]

Yeah there are no working streams right now.

 

[matrixman92]

are there patch notes for the day one patch

 

[Shaanyboi]

So I think infamous 2 had some really bad, really try-hard, really grating storytelling the exemplified the dumbest form of "comic booky". Will this change my mind on the series, atleast in that aspect?

The acting and tech used is leagues ahead of Infamous 2... but the dialogue and story feel very familiar, as does the direction of the cutscenes themselves. I suppose the greatest improvement is that the characters actually have character now.

Yes. Acting is fantastic, characters are well done (so far).

I don't even think the stories compare, actually, this is completely differently done than any other inFamous game in that respect.

But isn't Betty a womans name

 

[RealityPales]

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...

based on previous games, I really dont remember anything extra you could do besides collectibles

 

[newjeruse]

Edit: Nevermind

 

[RealityPales]

Exactly.

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

This is my concern too. The game started off strong with the intital portion and even the whole bridge traversal. But since then it seems to be a grind of getting shards and powerups and destroying those mobile units 1 by 1 ... I hope there is more variety as the game progresses. The side mission about tracking hidden agents seemed fun but there needs to be more variety in what ive seen so far.

 

[Magicman103]

It's been dead for a long time unfortunately.
