Dont know if the clean smooth look fits the Infamous feel
the secondary character models are kinda disappointing

Fair enough, I hope I'm wrong!

That was a horrible interview, the "reporter" was way too starstruck.
The game looks good though, looking forward to trying it out. I just wish they'd change the karma system to be more of a VN-esque path system.

Are they safe to watch?
Why not? It's not like anyone plays Infamous for the story.

That dock section was just wow. The powers look like absolute fun to play around with. I'm impressed.

The EG preview suggests an incredible world to explore, but the usual sandbox traits of generic - and ultimately uninteresting - missions. I hope the latter isn't the case because this thing looks beautiful in both stills and motion.

I can't create threads yet, so I'll post some interesting news from my interview with Sucker Punch: your Karma decisions won't lock you into one progression path, and making entirely good or evil decisions isn't advantageous anymore. Individual decisions throughout the game will determine how your powers grow and mutate, but smoke, neon, and [insert unannounced elements here] will be available to all players.

It's night time.
Interesting. Thanks for that bit of info.
Yea that was really odd, you can see it in the screenshots in the OP. Kind of a weird thing to leave out when everything else is really detailed.
Game looks fun from the videos. I thought the original was just 'ok' so I will wait to hear how the missions/campaign are before jumping in day 1.

Nothing! I said nothing!
Looks so good, I don't really mind if its generic missions, I like the whole sandbox thing.

Hearing that you can go back to the traditional aiming is great, I'd take the more limited movement for more precision.
Same here, it doesn't blow me away or anything. Probably pass.
Hmm. Yeah I am not personally getting my hopes up like its the second coming of video games or anything. It's a next-gen Infamous. For many, like me, that'll do. Would I have preferred more risks? Bigger scope? Definitely. But it should still be a good experience.

Graphics look super sharp and clean with some awesome particle effects but nothing super groundbreaking with the same tired old Infamous gameplay.
These videos didn't demonstrate much of the scale of the game since most of it took place inside a parking garage. Maybe a video out in the open would look more impressive.

Same here with Evolve in regards of static foliage but even then, I still think Second Son is the best looking thing next-gen has going for (and it's fucking sand-box).
Hopefully, they finally stomped out all the control spazzing that the previous games were prone to. Nothing was more frustrating in the previous games than for Cole to suddenly act like he's on a rail and have his movement locked to left and right strafing.
Looks great to me. Seems much faster paced than the first two games, with a greater use of close quarters combat. Definitely my most anticipated game at the moment.
Can someone gif the 1:12 part from the interview video? Love how the body dented the sign, looked so fucking cool.

In the day footage there's character shadows because there is sun. At night, there is no sun.
Insert punchline where appropriate.
Uh... yes, people are playing inFAMOUS for the story!
For example -> me and my friends.
Story of inFAMOUS 1 was awesome.

I have never played infamous, was planning to bite and buy a PS4 because of this game and it's odd but yesterday I ended up talking about the previous two games with a friend and he told me he was left dissapointed with the following points -->
-Story of both games was uninteresting.
-Very basic mission structure which get annoying after a while.
-Dumb AI from enemies and NPCs.
I guess I will need to try the game first as i'm not a guy that get's too wowed by the graphics...

I think what is concerning me about this game is that while the new powers look great the enemies they have shown have been very uninteresting. I find that guys with guns are rarely fun to fight in this type of game, I hope there are plenty of conduit enemies as well to balance it out.

This is what I'm afraid of. I'm hoping it improves on the formula the same way 2 did over 1 though.
It seems like that's the case. All the prior videos had plenty of soldiers using that rock jump and this one has a few using a rock shield.

Sony really need to show The Order or Uncharted 4. This game, while pretty, still feels like a last gen game.

Grenades? Good. Looks like my worries over small power sets were unfounded.

Driveclub from what I've seen fits the bill nicely.
I honestly loved the first two games. The karma system is very old hat and not very satisfying, but the progression of earning the powers and actually using them is extremely satisfying. The story keeps things ticking over too, nothing exceptionally interesting but enough to keep you moving forward.
Shame I don't have a PS4 yet but this is definitely one I'll be adding to my collection when I eventually get one.

Pretty much.
The varieties in Delsin's power and traversal are more than sufficient to make for a very exciting display of combat... but the previews have mostly been grunts who drop like flies, and conduits with unexciting powers. ( guys who basically move around with earth powers, blah )
There needs to be enemies that possess similar levels of traversal with Delsin, and can chase you on rooftops, not guys whom you can kite by simply sniping them from afar.
