Oh man! That was awesome...ARRGHHHH the wait is killing me.

I love how the DUP soldiers just explode into particles upon head shotting them and the destruction is looking fantastic.

Dat traversal too! Great to see gameplay from someone who knows what he is doing also, makes the game look so much better than when those clueless journalists play them....although he does seem a bit lost around the 4:40 mark, lol.

ArchangelMike3714d ago

The next seven days are going to be a bit of a nightmare trying to avoid spoliers and media overdose. My media backout attempt officially failed miserably :)

hazeblaze3714d ago

Yea, I almost didn't click on this article... but I'm so thirsty for anything inFamous right now, I couldn't help it.

I hope those of us with the digital pre-order are able to start playing at 12:01 on the 21st w/ no hitches!

Infamous2983714d ago

The reflections on the wet streets and windows are amazing !:D

abzdine3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

next gen definitely starts march 21st.

GW2123714d ago

Ha, me too. I kept telling myself not to hit play... but then, next thing I know, I'm hitting play.

Utalkin2me3714d ago

Not only the attention to detail is astounding, the movement looks so fluid through the map.

Kingthrash3603714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

clicked play, watched 1 min, cold shower.
in that order.
7 days....i need to hibernate for 7 days.

supes_243714d ago

I'm loving all these comments! I can't wait til nxt Friday! Thanks for the comments so I don't have to watch the video, reading them made me feel positive about the "next gen-ness" of this game so I don't have to watch the video and have spoilers. I'm also avoiding anything related to the game til I play it for myself. I want to be completely surprised without anything giving me clues as to what to expect.

BitbyDeath3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Greatness arriving March 21.
Bout time we got this nextgen party started.

morganfell3714d ago

It will be interesting to see the sales of inFamous since the PS4 won the NPD for February. The thing is a beast. I have already preorderd two copies (one is a gift)

Anthotis3714d ago

That neon stuff seems to work the same as smoke, but different FX.

Are the powers gonna just be pallet swaps or something?

NewMonday3713d ago

@Anthotis

powers have different parameters like power/speed/range/accuracy

also they give different traversal ability.

HurtfulTimez3714d ago

Agreed that was so awesome i didnt even want the video to end lol, guess im just gonna have to hold out until the 21st, day one purchase most definately!

Rikuide_Furame3714d ago

As someone who put God knows how many hours into the original (good and bad karma had to be done) the ability to just burst up the side of a building in a flash of neon is the single greatest thing they could do!

gameslayer24113714d ago

Agreed! After playing through 1 and 2 scaling building got extremely tasking! Loved both karma stories but climbing over and over tapping X got frustrating especially when he missed and fell -_- lol but yes so glad that traversing the City in this one seems so smooth!

Irishguy953713d ago

Agreed, it's a welcome change to the power lines

DeadRabbits3714d ago

We have the DUP in Northern Ireland who would make the US Tea Party look like a bunch of hipsters!

GarrusVakarian3714d ago

Eating neon is bad for your health.

Can't you see what it does to those DUP soldiers?

Crystallis3714d ago

The smoke that disappears from the chick is awesome. Nice little touch!

FlunkinMonkey3714d ago

Lukas, do you know when the review embargo is lifted?

adorie3714d ago

Embargo should already have been lifted.

USMC433713d ago

March 20, day before.

adorie3713d ago

March 21st. I had my sources mixed with Titanfall embargo. :S

geddesmond3714d ago

lol downgraded graphics my ass. Haters gonna hate.

adorie3714d ago

Yeah, I didn't see a downgrade, but Youtube sucks and the only way to get those GG screen caps is to do it directly from the PS4, or from a source who has done the same.

Anon19743714d ago

Ok. I gotta say, I wasn't really paying attention to this game. Infamous, no Cole...meh. Maybe I'll check it out.

Then I watched this and this has suddenly jumped up onto the top of my "this needs to be in my PS4 now" list. Looks like a blast!

webeblazing3714d ago

that video was horrible to watch. youtube video is completely washed out and the dude sucked. why do they pick people that dont know how to play this. not once in all the video have someone use combos with powers. the second half of the video he run AWAY from the enemy. he even use special when no one was there. whats the point in posting a horrible video like this. in the last two infamous i had a habit in not letting the enemy die with combos. i know hes powers different but serious. dude playing it like its a shooter

AngelicIceDiamond3714d ago

Lol at people who claimed "it got downgraded" wow.

This vid proves otherwise.

AndrewLB3713d ago

Can anyone explain what's up with the LOD? The level of detail really goes to crap not very far from the character, so much so that the ground looks like an old school gradient with zero detail.

And don't call this depth-of-field because if that were the case you wouldn't be able to read the signs because they're even further away.

http://i1248.photobucket.co...

It's not ocular focus either, because that would produce a radial blurring that increases towards the edge of the screen.

http://i1248.photobucket.co...

In contrast, this is what Ocular blur and depth-of-field should look like... http://i1248.photobucket.co...
And when looking out towards a distant object the area of focus lengthens, reducing the blurring effect much like you'd experience yourself or while shooting photos with an SLR camera. http://i1248.photobucket.co...

Perhaps it's youtube compression, but last I checked, that doesn't selectively blur areas of video like poor LOD implementation would

die_fiend3713d ago

Who claimed it was downgraded? The people who saw that article about the lighting being different.

If so, you can ignore those people as they're simpletons. You wouldn't have a game working on PS4 only and then downgrade it would you. With Watch Dogs there is stuff to scale, but obviously they'll want that to look as good as it possibly can. But we're talking about a game being made exclusively for the most powerful console, it's only ever going to get better with time and if reading this is the first time you're realising, maybe gaming isn't for you

frostypants3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Holy crap @2:45. I thought previous videos of that stuff was just cinematics. This game has some awesome camera work. The dialogue from the laser chick is bad though. "Here's a little trick I like to call LASER!"...erm, ok...is she supposed to be 10? At the same time, the main character's dialogue is pretty entertaining. Very Uncharted-esque.

That said this game looks stunning, especially at rooftop level.

Old McGroin3714d ago

Never been a fan of the inFamous games but I have to admit this looks pretty impressive.

xer03714d ago

Same here.
But this is a day 1 buy! :)

liquidhalos3714d ago

Oh man, i cant wait. Ive avoided nearly all the videos for this because of spoilers, i had no idea it looked this good. Gameplay looks so fluid too. How many powers does he have?

solar3713d ago

i have no dog in the console wars. I am a PC gamer that has owned a Ps3/PC last gen, and ill always be a PS fan even though i hate the PS fanboys, the second The Last Guardian is announced to hit PS4 ill buy one.

however, i dont find this game graphically amazing like the majority on N4G. good looking game, yes. good looking game. but watching that gameplay video, there is a lot of missing graphics features that are not in the first build we saw.

GarrusVakarian3713d ago

"there is a lot of missing graphics features that are not in the first build we saw."

Like........?

I'm sorry, but i disagree and think that is a gross exaggeration. The newest/final build gameplay videos look better than it did at E3.

Ozmoses3713d ago

Spring Break hit just at the perfect time!

ITPython3713d ago (Edited 3713d ago )

Watching the video right now, and so far it is the amazing gameplay I would expect from an Infamous game!

Although I think whoever recorded this video is only recording certain channels in the audio, as it has a very subdued sound quality to it, like a lot of audio detail is missing (for example, audio that gets pushed to the rear speakers and center speaker).

I had this happen on all my gameplay recordings with my HD-PVR on my PS3 because my DAC only output audio from the left and right channel, but left everything else out and didn't scale the audio together. So it sounded hollow and empty compared to the full recording.

A good example of this is around the 1:52 mark where she says something like "what do you think, smoke?". You hear the girl talking but it sounds really muffled. Her voice was probably going through the rear speakers but since the recorded audio in the vid is only the left and right channel, it only picked up a low hum of her voice.

I sure hope that is what's going on, cause it sounds far too quite and empty in this vid!

Infamous the most exciting game of March is coming!

IamHaru3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

South Park (amazing, btw), Dark Souls 2, and Titanfall beg to differ. But, yeah... incredible month! Game looks amazing though and even better than I imagined.

FlameHawk3714d ago

Na, inFamous > all games released in March.

scott1823714d ago

Yeah, dark souls 2 looks great as well. But Infamous has something special about it, looks absolutely incredible.

asmith23063714d ago

While all great games, I think Infamous is the first big next-gen title to be released.

frostypants3714d ago

This looks good, but I started playing Dark Souls 2 last night and...it's pretty damn amazing. Good month for games.

KrisButtar3714d ago

The video looks good until you go full screen and then things start to look blurry. I'm watching it in the "1080" but I'm guessing the blurry is because its a YouTube video? Little help here if anyone can explain.

GarrusVakarian3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

It's Youtube. Their video's are highly compressed to save space. Their "730p" and"1080p" settings suffers because of it.

Don't worry, it'll look nice and crisp on your TV, provided you have a full HDTV ;)

@Kris

Unfortunately not, unless Sony or SP release the direct feed versions for download. Gamersyde is the best website for direct feed videos, but they don't have this footage available for download either.

KrisButtar3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Is there a better way to see these videos, maybe DL them? I have a HDTV that's native 1080p. and have the game pre ordered :)

Thanks, never heard of Gamersyde but I'll check it out. Bubbles for everyone with the help

morganfell3714d ago

Kris,

Nothing we can do unless Gamersyde receives the video and then posts an HD .mp4 version. They do not always get a hi res version from the publisher or dev and so often refuse to post the lower res versions.

But if it happens then that would be the place to go. I just checked and there is nothing up yet.

TIER1xWOLFPACKx3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

It will look blurry if your display isn't actually 1080p, if you watch a YouTube vid at 1080p but on a standard laptop/desktop display 1366x768 it will look blurry you need a 1080p display to see the full benefits of fullHD

Also YouTube compresses the hell out of HD video

XiNarutoUzumaki3714d ago

Ever heard of Youtube degradation?

HurtfulTimez3714d ago

You just basically answered your own question lol, yes its blurry because it is on youtube regardless if you are viewing in 1080

KrisButtar3714d ago

I believed something was wrong because when game trailers come out(for any game) people say it looks awesome and when I watch it, it looks blurry.

TomahawkX3714d ago

find some 1080 screenshots to see what it will look like.

DJ3713d ago

Yeah, Youtube compresses everything down to a blurry mess.

GentlemenRUs3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Well now I'm pumped as hell for the 21st :P

And everyone kept saying that this game has been downgraded... I pity those fools!

EDIT: I'm not watching the Video though, Wana keep everything locked up till next week.

ThMarkedmenSocom3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Looks amazing. You'll notice people just driving around like nothing going on.. Lol I don't know about you, but If I was driving and I seen people shooting lazers and smoke I would crap my pants and throw it in reverse... Probably both at the same time.

Volkama3714d ago

I don't think you'll be too concerned about the actions of the pedestrians while you are zipping about though. Maybe a little annoyed by the noise that it makes when he uses some of those neon powers though.

Game looks ace, I'm on the fence about whether to get a PS4 now or later.

MidnytRain3713d ago (Edited 3713d ago )

The neon doesn't look as satisfying to use as smoke or electricity. Something was missing from that vid. Maybe some sound effects or something. Also, does anyone know if Delsin can climb poles and things like Cole can? It looks like he just flies over everything.

How Does inFAMOUS Second Son Hold up 10 Years Later?

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?

Deeeeznuuuts122d ago

100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released

KwietStorm_BLM122d ago

Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.

SDuck121d ago

Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha

OmegaSoldati121d ago

Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.

Profchaos122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.

Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run

I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.

Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.

I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.

Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183152d ago

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

persona4chie152d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
