Compared to ColeвЂ™s grinding on low power and rail lines, rooftop traversal is easily the best option in Second Son, thus your interaction with pedestrians is limited. Unfortunately, the city lacks personality, perhaps because so much time will be spent on these rooftops. The impressive lighting changes based on time of day, and there are some great vistas seen from the top of buildings, where players spend most of their time. Still, this is an absolutely visually impressive game and a technical achievement that continues to show whatвЂ™s possible on the next generation of consoles. The city of Seattle itself is highly detailed, even more so than the previous Infamous entries and even closely on par to last yearвЂ™s Grand Theft Auto V, though of course on a much smaller scale. Ambient soundtrack is often monotone and repetitive, sometimes clashing and even overlapping with the combat music. As well, the audio mix seems off, with loud character voices but explosions that don't pack a punch. On the whole though, there are still elements that are rather basic, with many of the NPC animations being rigid and unnatural. Water reflections while it rains look incredibly accurate, the particle effects are the best youвЂ™ve ever seen, and power abilities all look fantastic. It features the same great high resolution textures and effects like those in Killzone: Shadow Fall, but what helps the game stand out is the attention to detail. Infamous: Second Son is indeed a fantastic looking game. Perhaps that last statement is significant and should be expanded upon.

It helps that this is the best PS4 looking title to date. These are expertly acted out however, and help immerse players in the world. The stylized comic book-like cutscenes have been reduced to a minimum for this entry, instead replaced by the usual modern exposition scenes. Everyone delivers their often funny lines with great timing, undoubtedly helped by the great facial animation. While the story is predictable and weak compared to the past entries, the characters and dialog are not to blame. They later become predicable pawns to get Delsin motivated or his aides in final confrontations. Other conduits enter the plot at various points, but provide little beyond a stock typical personality and assisting you on a mission or two. He is frequently joined by his cop brother, Reggie, but their relationship isnвЂ™t as interesting or complex as that of Cole and Zeke in the original. After setting up what could have been an intriguing narrative of an anti-hero, Delsin happily uses his new abilities to take out the DUP. However, it is not long before personal motivations of revenge take over and the goal becomes the acquisition of more powers. Delsin realizes his predicament and attempts to relinquish his power to avoid becoming prey to the DUP.Д¬ompared to ColeвЂ™s fairly blank-slate character, Delsin lives in a much different world, so finding out he has powers is met with fear, rather than excitement. This instantly gets him labelled as a Bio-Terrorist by the Department of Unified Protection, an organization that was created after the events of Infamous 2 to combat the conduit threat. These supernatural people can channel super power of various elements, much as Cole did with electricity. Second Son follows the exploits of Delsin Rowe, a young graffiti artist and a rebellious member of his Native American tribe located near Seattle, WA.Д«y no choice of his own, Delsin acquires a power to control smoke, and realizes he is a conduit. While newcomers to the franchise will likely miss out on the depth of this game world, the narrative makes it fairly easy to jump in.

Fans whoвЂ™ve played the PS3 titles will be excited to see how the world has changed since ColeвЂ™s story, and find tons of references and Easter eggs pointing to the previous games. Sadly, for newcomers, the game glosses over most details and only provides a short text entry to setup the narrative. Second Son picks up years after the ending of Infamous 2. And while Second Son is a technical marvel on the PS4 and retains many of the same elements that made the franchise popular, a few shortfalls prevent it from soaring to dizzying heights. The original Infamous debuted on the PS3 years after that console was released, so the opportunity to launch on the newly released PS4 is a great tribute to the franchiseвЂ™s success and the developers at Sucker Punch Productions. Infamous: Second Son marks the biggest Spring 2014 first-party release for SonyвЂ™s new PlayStation 4 console.
