Be a Hater with Eight Minutes of inFAMOUS: Second Son PS4 Footage

Lots of spoilers around the internet about inFAMOUS at the moment. Id advise people not to read comments about this game in other sites like I do from now on

Crackle has been showing the live action commerical for this non-stop. I've always played this game as an all out good guy, thats my nature, but if being bad means blowing up military dopes count me in.

Not watching the clip & trying to avoid any clips so I can experience everything myself

I used to be kind of interested I'm this game for a while because of how cool the city looked and stuff but after seeing this video I almost lost all and any interest I had before. Is this really representative of how the gameplay will be? It just looked so cheap, boring, generic and unimagnitive. Hope it proves me wrong as the re-creation of Seattle still appeals.

Do you like Infamous? How would you rate the game? I pre ordered Infamous Second Son, but I've never played any of the previous games in the franchise. I've heard some people say it's really good, others say it's so-so. What do you think?

Personally, I think the game looks MUCH funner in this video than the trailers led me to believe. Idk, the trailers just made it look, well, boring I guess. I mean, it looked ok, but this gameplay is so much better than I was anticipating. I'm actually starting to think I made the right call in pre ordering this game...

Can someone explain to me what the symbols mean in the upper and lower left hand corners? I see a skull in the top right, sometimes it's a dragon. And there's a long bar in the lower left hand corner, sometimes purple and sometimes a dull yellow. Also, there's 3 white missile-like icons above the purple bar. Can someone make sense of all this for me?

@JaxonH - "Do you like Infamous?"

I liked them both, but you have to remember 3rd person action games are pretty much all I play. Well I used to only play only JRPGs back in the PS1 days. Then platformers on PS2. But other than that 3rd person action.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of the light - dark dichotomy, I mentioned the other day I only play thru a game once, no extras, no trophy farming, just play thru the story. I liked inFamous 1 a whole lot better than Uncharted 1. OK I hated Uncharted so that's not saying much, and inFamous was years later, but better. inFamous 2 was off somehow but still worth playing for the endings. I did like the islands areas, some of the best graphics on PS3 I think.

I also grew up i NYC so the thought of riding atop subway cars while zapping people w/ lighting bolts was kind of a childhood dream of mine. And hover flying glyding, which comes later in the game, is my 2nd favorite game mechanic after the double jump. I spent most of my time playing thinking it would be a good Spiderman engine, better than Friend or For or Web of Shadows.

Oh, I've never played any of the AC games so I cant compare those even though they seem like a good comparison. I don't like stealth.

So I'ld definelty say play the first, and then decide on the 2nd.
