On the flip side that is EXACTLY what I wanted and expected.
Massive killer app, cannot wait.
Are they safe to watch?
Neither provides the glorious thwack and smash of video game combat at its best, alas. Maybe the sound effects are too soft, maybe the animation is too restrained and the camera shake and haptic feedback too gentle? Maybe it's something deeper and more mysterious that an idiot like me could never understand. Whatever's missing, it means that Second Son's combat is absolutely fine, but it doesn't yet thrill you, regardless of how you approach it. Melee lacks a sense of physical connection, and while the ranged option's definitely improved over the old days with the switch to a run-and-gun model (you can still opt for the over-the-shoulder approach as and when, but it's much nicer to just dash about firing at a reticule in the centre of the screen), both laser beams and smokey projectiles feel tame and weightless.
Meanwhile, the missions in the current build are worryingly generic. The karma system that defined Cole MacGrath's adventures has been retained here, and the demo provides the option to play through a sequence in which Delsin trains a wayward Conduit protégé named Fetch, either taking the heroic option by teaching her self-control as they mess up some drug dealers down by the harbour (I have no idea how messing up drug dealers is meant to teach self control, incidentally), or corrupting her with the ruthless path and heading out to trash some anti-Conduit rallies downtown.
It's night time.Ok, where are character shadows?
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.

Looks good but I'm disappointed the lights aren't casting shadows. Being next-gen, little graphical details are standing out to me.

Eurogamer's preview is a bit sobering. I'll keep my expectations in check.
Yeah, it's inFamous alright. Good or bad. lol

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).Looks good but I'm disappointed the lights aren't casting shadows. Being next-gen, little graphical details are standing out to me.

In the day footage there's character shadows because there is sun. At night, there is no sun.Joke post?
Why not? It's not like anyone plays Infamous for the story.
This is what I'm afraid of. I'm hoping it improves on the formula the same way 2 did over 1 though.Eurogamer's preview is a bit sobering. I'll keep my expectations in check.

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.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.
Sony really need to show The Order or Uncharted 4. This game, while pretty, still feels like a last gen game.
What do you mean?
What do you consider a 'nextgen' game?
