She's a Conduit who hunts other Conduits for the government, with a cold mean streak. Department of Unified Protection (DUP) boss and Concrete-powered Conduit Brooke Augustine is the game's villain, sort of more forceful version of Infamous 2's Joseph Betrand III. Reggie is the stoic big brother type, but Travis Willingham does the best with what he has. The rest of the supporting cast is pretty good, too. Trying to save someone who doesn't want to be saved. Sucker Punch's facial motion capture backed by the power of the PlayStation 4 helps deliver some real emotion here. It just feels like one guy being himself and it makes Delsin pretty magnetic (not in the Conduit way). Delsin on the other hand feels like Sucker Punch just called him into the studio and captured him without his knowledge. Baker has been tearing it up as the new Nolan North, playing Joel in the Last of Us, The Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins, and Booker DeWitt in Bioshock Infinite. He's enjoyable, expressive, and believable. He loves being powerful and revels in his new abilities repeatedly, while his brother Reggie acts as his grounding influence. While Cole tried to run from his powers and the effects they had on his life, Delsin is enthusiastic about his Conduit abilities. Like the jump from the dour Altiar to the charismatic Ezio in the Assassin's Creed series, Infamous: Second Son's Delsin Rowe is a big improvement over messenger-turned-messiah Cole McGrath. But as a near-launch game for a console generation, Infamous: Second Son is a damn fine piece of artwork. Sucker Punch's technical mastery leads to its weakness: everything looks so good that you wish they had the power to go farther. Delsin doesn't even look wet when it's raining. Mud and leaves don't react to your passing. Puddles look great in the rain, but the effect is lessened by the fact that Delsin's footfalls don't make a single splash. If the graphics let me down at all, it because the world looks so real that when it doesn't react realistically, you notice. Smoke and the other sets are cool, but Neon is the one that you'll want to show your friends or significant other when you're justifying that $399 you spent.
Hell, I'll just say I love everything about the Neon powerset. The power drain effect on Neon signs is equally awesome.
Neon's Light Speed dash move is the best-looking power effect I've ever seen in any game ever, full stop. Shadowed particles, volumetric smoke, and and an improved lighting engine power some amazing effects. Neon is one of the best power effects ever.ĭelsin's powers are the real show-stoppers here. In a time where fans are lambasting companies for releasing screenshots and video that don't add up to the finished products, Infamous: Second Son delivers.
Ryse on Xbox One and Killzone: Shadow Fall on PS4 have come close to what's on display, but Infamous just feels bigger than either of those offerings. It just screams in all its 1080p, anti-aliased glory, with a framerate sitting at 30 FPS. This was a game that was made for a specific set of next-gen hardware and it shows. Infamous: Second Son is the best-looking game on PlayStation 4 and it feels like the real start of the next-generation of consoles. One could safely say it was my reason to buy the console in the first place. For me, it was the first game that made me stand up and take notice of the PlayStation 4. Keep doing this until you win the battle.I've been waiting for Infamous: Second Son.
As it does so, grab the power replenish and move to another platform, where you can repeat the cycle. When that occurs, the platform from which you are hanging will sink into the lava. Once he is hit enough times, he dissolves and moves to another position, where he appears once more with additional angels at his side. You are able to aim even while dangling, and if you are positioned correctly, none of his attacks will hit you even when he knocks down the columns.
Keep firing at your foe (and his summoned angels, if you've reached that point in the battle) while you hang from that ledge.
When you face off against "He who dwells," find and hang from a ledge on a platform near him that has a power replenish (do not use it yet, though). Submitted by: epikperson "He Who Dwells" Boss Battle You can find similar murals elsewhere in the area, as well. To the side, you should see Sly, Bentley, and Murray depicted as if painted by a child. The one on the left holds a bag of money, the one on the right a gold-handled cane, and the one in the middle is wearing a blue cap. On the back wall, you'll see a mural depicting three raccoons. Look for Sienna Smith's Play Zone in Seattle, WA.
