Infamous Second Son hands on impression from some gaf poster
Right guys on my way back from the event last night, very impressive turn out and organisation. Had alot of fun and Troy was a really really nice guy. As for the Dev team awkward doesn't begin to describe it. Someone should have mentioned us brits really don't respond well to cheesy jokes and one liners but never the less well done to them, had to deal with some terrible questions.

On to the game.

Everyone saying it has boring gameplay, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The one thing you could say about this game is its fun. The streets are full of pedestrians who jump out of your way, say quips and tend to be busy doing stuff. The powers are an absolute joy to control, that neon dash is perfect and you have full control over it. My favourite thing to do was to dash and then launch off the dash.


Smoke powers feel much more powerful than the neon and seem a bit more rare than the neon stuff. You don't have immediate access to both powers, you need to actually suck in the power you want to switch to.

Ai is what you would expect from a game like this and mostly the enemies act as a group to overwhelm you, you are much much more powerful than foes although the enemies in the demo were just grunts.

The voice acting is of course industry leading and 10x better than the previous games with fetch actually being a likable and incredibly powerful alli. And I can confirm there are good v evil decisions, my initial playthrough being a good option which was extremely different to the evil mission and actually changed the relation between characters which was a pleasant surprise.

There was a dissapointing aspect which I did not expect. The GFX are brilliant but they won't blow you away. Admittedly the TV were not optimised with some sets looking stunning and others a little washed out and lacked depth almost like the brightness was too high. Having said that the "in game" cinematics DO NOT seem in game at all. The character model of Deslin seems alot less polished than his cinematic as in his face textures and movements but again this could be down to the TV.

Particle effects and spot effects are stunning but there was also a slight lack of AA with some edges looking ropey but NOT taking away from the overall look of the game. Lighting is some of the best I have seen with an emphasis on it looking natural truly impressive.

Now something I can't stress enough is the controls, this game feels and handles like an absolute dream. If there was a game to sell the DS4 on it would he this. The touch pad just melts into your current set up with occasional but not intrusive controls and the analogue sticks being micro second tight. This Game is probably twice as fun as previous games in the series. Those of you worried about traversal and Deslin flapping about at ledges like the previous games wipe that from your memory with the new powers adding to your traversal and the controls you will never see that Lil pop n hop again.

All in all surprisingly the highlight of the game is the Gameplay with the graphics a close second. Dont get me wrong the game is gorgeous and the physics spot on but the TV set up marred it a little and really the controls really shined.

Sony has to give us an update :beli:

My menu is getting outta control!!

There has to be a better way to organize this shyt.

I can't even imagine how much of a pain this shyt will be when more and more games and content drops.


We need a update for flash as well.

A real twitch app would be lovely.

I know most of yall don't care but sometimes I do Co op with the people I'm watching.

Would love to add them through the app.

I wanna buy a PS4 but BestBuy never has them in stock. I know Amazon has them from time to time, but i've been sitting on a $100 BestBuy giftcard for like 6 months now.

Maybe i'll wait for an Infamous bundle or something.
