Infamous is definitely one of those good underrated and forgotten games besides the people playing it. Would recommend watching the 1st and 2nd game with Cole McGrath
This game is so fun, especially testing out the different powers Concrete was probably the one I ended up using most in the end-game There’s Smoke, the standard ability that lets you phase through objects and enter air ducts There’s Neon, which gives you Super-Speed, eventually you can unlock the ability to run infinitely, add that with the max speed you can get for the ability and you feel like The Flash. You can also trap enemies in stasis bubbles, causing them to freeze temporarily There’s Video, which lets you summon glitchy demon minions, you gain wings that lets you swoop through the city, a laser blade, invisibility and can travel through antennas There’s Concrete, which essentially turns you into The Thing. You can crush anything in your way and cover your entire body in rocks, causing bullets to bounce off of you There was also a mission where a character has Origami powers, sadly we never obtain that ability in-game
Infamous: Second Son was amazing when it released on PlayStation+ - one for the few reasons online subscriptions weren’t a completely bad thing. So the basic breakdown of Infamous is essentially the X-men with a slightly more limited power set. Conduits (referred to as Bio-Terrorists by the government) are all capable of manipulating and absorbing a specific form of matter. The protagonist of the first Infamous game: Cole Macgrath was capable of controlling and absorbing electricity in any form: natural or otherwise. A conduit typically can’t use their powers without draining it from a source. For example: if you are a lighting based conduit, you need to absorb a source to electricity in order to store it for later use. If you run out to juice, you need to absorb more electricity to recharge your batteries. You could drain a cellphone, streetlamp, car battery, or even natural lighting if you please. Second Son takes place seven years after the second Infamous Game: Infamous 2. The protagonist Delsin Rowe had inherited his Conduit powers after getting caught vandalizing a building with his spray painting skills by his brother: Reggie Rowe. After a short scuffle with the leader of the DUP (Department of United Protection) Brooke Augustine, all of the members of Delsin and Reggie’s Akomosh tribe have concrete shards forcibly melded to their bones. Augustine is also a conduit, capable of absorbing and manipulating any form of concrete. Now with newfound purpose, Delsin seeks to track down Augustine and drain her of her powers to cure his friends and save their lives. The appeal of infamous aside from the super powers is it’s morality system. As the title entails, you can become infamous. Being a superhuman doesn’t necessarily make you a good person, and abusing your powers will make you gain infamy - while saving innocents and holding back against the DUP will earn you the respect and adoration for he people, making you a Hero. The NPC’s in game will shower you with attention to ask for selfies, or even throw rocks at you or run away on sight depending on your behavior in game. My personal favorite example of infamous behavior lies within the drain system. Let’s go back to the lighting example: Recall how a lighting conduit can hypothetically drain power form any source of electricity? Well it just so happens the human body gives off electrical impulses constantly, we do so just by thinking and moving. I’m sure you can see where this is going… When it comes to heroic behavior, it’s a good thing to note that conduits have healing factors. By absorbing their given element, they heal exceedingly fast. This effect can also be applied to civilians injured in DUP shootouts, as they don’t exactly care about casualties. You can even restrain DUP troops instead of executing them by simple gluing their body to the ground with a constant wave of low temperature heat, kinda like how you get pushed around when the wind blow super hard. Infamous: Second Son was an excellent ride, I highly recommend grabbing it and it’s prequels if it’s on sale. Who doesn’t want to be an X-men? Also, if you were a conduit, what form of matter would you base your powers off of? Personally? Can’t go wrong with Pyrokenisis. Plus The Human Torch and Ghost Rider are some do my favorite fire users in fiction.
Thanks so much for giving us all this info on the story and how the powers work in this. I think fire is the way to go as far as conduits go. Would be the best fireman ever 😇
Definitely not limited in power sets. The only limiting factor is the fact they have to recharge but there's ways around that as seen with the beast and characters like Cole if you choose to be evil since Coles electric based ability allows him to absorb the electrical signals in a persons body that keeps it running like the electrical signals in someone's brain etc but he can only do this if you choose to be evil. Cole arguably has the most versatile electric based ability in fiction because he can use it in various ways compared to electric based people from fiction like black lightning who can only absorb electricity and fire it off or use it to fly. Cole can not only absorb electricity from any electrical source but he can absorb it from living beings if he wanted and he is so versaitle with it he can use it to create magnetic fields to lift things around him using his mind, can even read minds by accessing the electrical signals in someones brain , can heal people by increasing their healing properties using his electricity etc.

I never click so fast to witness you both react to “Infamous” content as the games are amazing and Second Sons is a beautiful game to take place several years later after the 2 one with you playing as Delsin Rowl as he is the new “gifted” person that have powers given to him by touch. The pervious games have it being a gene and control Electrical style powers. Highly recommend checking out “Infamous”, “Infamous 2”, “Infamous 2: Bad Blood” and “Infamous Second Sons: First Light” as it’s a big series to go by. Also I am hoping Sucker Punch do a remaster of the old games to newer ones since they done amazing job in Ghost of tsushima that they should use their graphic design to brighten old game with a new design. 😁😁
I'm glad you're checking out Infamous. The first 2 games follow Cole McGrath. A conduit caused by being in a massive explosion and gaining electricity based powers. Cole tries to figure out if he wants to be a true hero, or a tyrant (hence the series being called Infamous). In Second Son, we follow Delsin Rowe. Delsin is one of the few conduits after Cole sacrifices himself to stop the Beast mentioned in Infamous 2 (Cole being a true hero in the second game is canon). Delsin has the power to absorb other powers, throughout the game you have an array of different powers. Delsin's main power is smoke, which he is granted when he absorbs a conduit named Hanks' power. Fetch has the power over Neon, and has her own game Infamous First Light. First Light is a prequel to Second Son, and Sucker Punch's last installment to the Infamous series back in 2014.
Infamous is such an underrated franchise!! With that being said this is the third game in the series. In the first two games in which you play as a different character he has electricity abilities and it’s absolutely awesome!! Highly recommend them.
Infamous was one of those games that once I played the first one, I instantly bought the 2nd one... and when I found out I could get Second Son when I got my PS4 on day one, I bought it with no hesitation without even knowing about the trailers. Years later, I still say the story and the games hold up well.
The conduit powers shown in Second Son are Smoke, Neon, Video, and Concrete. Each one has its own special uses, like smoke going through vents, video being able to jump through tv antennae, or neon being able to run like hell
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Lore-wise, Conduits of that matter (or energy, abstract, whichever else they manipulate at this point) manipulation would just go much quickly instantly even further. but it is just a short-ranged and slow radio-waves kind of higher jump escape method. you Can't infinitely literally fly too like those like Eugene, etc, because....you/we have a playable character. yeah. as with Gameplay balancing developers Want to say anyways. (and would be kind of boring if one were to just infinitely glide all over the entire map that easily without having to use Neon dash, or scaling very short skyscrapers ever again. not like I would argue that. a small tip (just in case): there are a few methods on how to stay in the air longer than a Minute though (mostly just speaking about IF:SS only. because as Cole, we can't fly....yet. Lore-wise), but yeah, it's not literal forever kind of flying.
Infamous 1 and 2 tell the story of Cole MacGrath who gains electricity powers and sacrifices himself at the end of the second one. This new character, Delsin Rowe, is a graffiti artist on an Indian reservation when a DUP prison bus crashes Delsin touches one of the prisoners and learns he can mimic the powers of other conduits. Most of the game involves Delsin and his brother traveling around Seattle liberating districts from DUP control and recruiting the escaped conduits to take on the leader of the DUP who is also a conduit.
A little background for the game. Due to reasons from the first two games, people with powers or "Conduits" started popping up. In a short amount of time, the wrong people with powers started causing a lot of death and destruction. As a result, Conduits, now dubbed "Bioterrorists" are being rounded up and incarcerated without parole or trial. They are called "Conduits" because they are conduits of, typically, one element. For example, in this game, there's a conduit of smoke, neon, video, and concrete. We also, through collectables learn that there are conduits of wire and glass. In a side mission, we meet a conduit of paper, who just so happens to be a zodiac-esque serial killer. In the past, we've seen conduits of lightning, ice, oil, tar, and junk (they instead call that last one telekinesis, but I think it's more control over metal than anything else). The main character of this game, as you picked up on, has the unique power of being able to duplicate the powers of other conduits through touch, which you saw when he got neon powers. They don't have unlimited powers. The conduits have to absorb their element to recharge. The developers just don't show that in the demo gameplay usually.
As someone who has the platinum for this game and plays it every now and then I can say it's an amazingly fun game and totally worth a playthrough, also to answer some questions, conduits in the infamous universe are people born with the ability to control manmade elements, smoke, neon, video, concrete ect. (The soldier he was fighting that would jump away was infused with concrete powers). The main character, Delson rowe has the unique ability to absorb powers from other conduits, but to a slightly less powerful degree, at least in gameplay. Honestly I would recommend checking out more infamous stuff in the future.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Funnily enough, a character in this series actually does have paper powers. Let's them create paper birds that flap around and stuff if i remember correctly. You should give Infamous a try, it is always awesome watching people new to the series experience it for the first time.
Infamous was the first game that was made specifically for videogames in a time when all superheros games were only comics/movies adaptations and that's pretty cool!
Yay! I’m glad you guys reacted to this game. If possible the older game trailers are definitely worth a watch, I sure they’re there on RUclips still. The story for this game series is very cool.
In the first 2 games an item called the Ray sphere exploded and spread the conduit gene to certain people. The conduit gene allows people to absorb and manipulate a specific element. In the very first 2 games, the player, cole McGrath had electricity powers. In infamous second son, delsins conduit gene allows him to absorb powers from other conduits with the very first one he gets is smoke. And neon was the pink laser power that he gets in some of the trailers
This entire series rules so hard. HIGHLY recommend, Second Son's visuals also aged like fine wine. Colorful and gorgeous. There are 3 main games and 2 side games. The order is inFAMOUS inFAMOUS 2 inFAMOUS Festival of Blood (Halloween special if you want to save it) inFAMOUS Second Son inFAMOUS First Light (serves as a prequel to Second Son, but it really is better to play it after) For ease of recording, Second Son and First Light are easy to get to and won't really spoil the first 2.5 games. But I do recommend trying them, especially if PS5 ever makes the update that allows you to download PS3 games instead of just streaming them.
Conduits have a specific material or energy source and can absorb then manipulate it for example because delsin has smoke as his first power he can go to any fire and steal the smoke to both heal any injuries and restore his ability to use his powers and because smoke has embers in it he can also to a smaller extent use it to control heat thus he can basically coat his chain in embers to superheat it then beat people with it. however every conduit only has 1 resource they can use and they can be very specific or pretty broad (except delsin because his power source is conduits themselves as far as I can tell and when absorbs them he gets their powers and the ability to absorb their resource). The conduits powers I remember are smoke, glass, paper, concrete, wire, electricity, blood?, And neon. As for what conduits are they can be born like normal people during the time second sun takes place but that has something to do with some great world ending super conduit thing stopped by the previous games protagonist
If you want a wildcard of a game, might I suggest Battleborn? It is a MOBA shooter that has an awesome sci-fi setting with tons of goofy characters. The best part is the game was made by the same people who made Borderlands.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames a little clarification for you. Battleborn is a MOBA shooter which has a good mix of melee heroes and gun toting characters. Additionally, each character levels up over the course of a match and has a choice between two augments per level gained so you can tailor a hero to your preferred playstyle for that type of character, but when you play a new match you will be reset to level one and do it all over again. Lastly, you might be thinking Battleborn is like overwatch, it is not. They may have been released around the same time but Battleborn is more true to the MOBA formula than Overwatch would ever dream of being. Overwatch has more in common with Team Fortress 2. I hope this information has been helpful.
The best way to explain conduits is to think of them as marvel mutants Conduits who work under the goverment would be like the x-men, and are used as the unit you send for extremely dangerous stuff Conduits who act independently are called bio-terrorists, and are (understandably) extremely feared due to how crazy unpredictable they can be with their powers In this case Dhelsin's power is that of a sponge who can copy other conduits powers by touching them
To answer some of your questions, this franchise takes place in alternate world where people possess the conduit gene. The conduit gene allows manipulation of certain elements. The elements highlighted in this game are smoke (what Delsin, the main character, is using at the beginning), neon, video, and concrete (someone else help fill in if I forgot any). These people (identified as Conduits) are usually hunted by the government since people tend to fear what they don't understand. Delsin is also unique in this universe in that he can swap the power he can manipulate, where as every conduit they have ever introduced in the series has control over only a single element. Although, admittedly I believe Cole, in InFamous 2, did get some ice powers on top of his electricity, but it has been so long I could be mistaken.
@@spikewolfenheart5406 no, he doesn't have fire powers but if you choose to be evil he gains the ability to absorb life force but that ability is just a variant of his electric abilities which he uses to absorb the electrical properties in a humans body like neurons etc.
in the gameplay trailer there is no hud so you can't see your 'ammo'. abilities need to be recharged by absorbing (in this case) smoke from any source that is around you. spots are marked on the minimap or just smash a car with melee to make it go boom. you start with the little shots first then unlock other abilities that can also be further upgraded. for the big ultimate you have to do a certain amount of mayhem/kills to have it available. you can become a hero or renegade depending on the choices you make within the game and what you do in the open world - attacking civilians will shift you to red... bringing down drugdealers will give you blue points.
to switch the power you just absorb its source. smoke, neon signs, television screens. oh and the rank of hero/renegade you are at also gives you different options to upgrade powers. adds to the replay value :)
The game is really fun there's two Routes in the game hero or infamous (aka villain) the game and mission are the same but the personality of delsin ( who you play as ) will change by Wish routes you play being a geed guy or bad guy
but back in the Gameplay structures of IF01, and IF02, at least that has a lot of major either [Two] Sides-Choices that they portrayed. some says that IF:SS was Rushed, Incomplete. no arguments there, when it comes with the duration of story-wise, still a lot of unofficially unexplained infamous Lore situations, etc.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Unfortunately All of the infamous games don't have new game plus modes. (let alone able to replay any main Campaign, side, etc missions on the same saved data and not have to just manually do a new game save experience instead). Gameplay-speaking, would have been more fun. (yet they added that and an official multiplayer section in suckerpunch's samurai IP instead?.... some Conduit-players have been wanting those in-game features before any Past future releases of infamous games had been officially launched, but Unfortunately we didn't. I can't described it well, but: imagining during a multiplayer freeroam scenario running around the seattle map with multiple other Delsin's (other players) consecutively each spawning a lot of virtual wingmen in just 5+ Seconds or something as we unleash such a digitalized army towards a DUP stronghold location. but that would be overkill....
Just like Bethany says, people who suddenly shows super powers was the by product of a rogue experiment and most of them got killed including the protagonist of first series when activating a device that kills all conduits so as to stop an evil and unstoppable conduit villian. However, the damage done by these people, especially the villain adequately called beast, was seens by the people around the world, and some of the conduits survived. Department of Unified Protection or D.U.P was founded to arrest and contain "bio-terrorists" with extreme prejudice. However, they become authoritarian group, restricting the populous. The second son's protagonist, Delsin was just a normal punk with a thing for graffiti, until he stumbled upon upturned armored car that was transporting arrested conduits. When grabbed by one of the escapists, he realized he is the conduit too. However D.U.P with it's leader Brooke Augustine arrive to catch all the escapists. Augustine is a conduit but ironically, she is hyper-conduit hater. Sensing Delsin is hiding something, she interrogates/tortures him with her powers, materializing concrete spike inside his legs. When he would not talk, she threaten to torture his town's neighbors. Whether he confess or not(one of the key good/evil choices), she continues to put spikes at the WHOLE TOWN, leaving them dying a painful death. After realizing his power is actually "copying" other conduit's powers, Delsin and his brother Reggie set out for Augustine, both to copy her powers to heal his folk and for some good old revenge. The first power he gets is the iconic "smoke", but later he also gets "neon" as one of the trailer shows and "computer" where he meets a nerdy conduit who can materialize computer character into the real world.
In Infamous second son there are good guy or bad guy decisions to make.I recommend if it’s your first Play through be a good guy. You take a lot of damage in this game.I don’t know if that’s a good ending or bad ending. I’ve only beat the game once.
If you wanna know what infamous is about, it's a choices and options game, you can either be the nicest guy in town or a complete d!ck to anyone and everyone around you. Your powers also change depending on what path you take, example: if your good your smoke powers will have an orange white hue, if your evil it will go red and black. This game is fun however it's considered one of the lesser titles in the infamous series, especially compared to the first two.
conduit is a nicer name for bio-terrorist and the conduits some got experimented on but the main character got his powers by accident when he came across another conduit...his power is called "smoke" thats why his body can disperse and he can go into vents but as u saw in one of the trailers when he touched that girl he got her powers which is neon and we saw him absorb the neon lights...so in game as u go on you meet 3 conduits i believe making u have 3 different powers and when you complete the game u get a 4th power which belongs to the main villian of the story (also this game features choices/paths were u get to decide if you wanna be evil and a criminal and being awarded for killing DUPs and civilians because conduits are outcasted and seen as terrorist or u can be a good guy saving lives , spreading positive messages in the city through graffiti and u get awarded for knocking out DUPs and not killing, your powers change slightly depending on your path so the player gets to choose )
you guys should react to the first 2 infamous games, which second son is a direct result of the first 2 games. cole truly overcame great adversity after being branded a national terrorist, after accidentally setting off a small nuke in the middle of times square new york and destroying 7 strait blocks. cole was also the strongest conduit ever, before delsin took the title, even though he couldnt absorb different matter like delsin, he could literally absorb electricity and manipulate it, completely mastering it and briefly mastering the power of ice. he could call electricity from the sky and create tornadoes. like cole was a walking force of nature, if it was storming outside, he was basically immortal because he could control the lighting and get power from the atmosphere itself. a true hero. the world was also in great chaos because there was also a worldwide plague killing million of people a week and conduits were immune. so humanity was actively dying out by the tens of millions per month. so cole actively had to weigh the life of people who were outcasts with supernatural powers, that understood him against ordinary people who were dying from sickness, like his family. cole overcame being hunted by the entire country and otherwise sacrificing himself when he couldve created a race of conduit only species by unlocking the conduit gene, by causing great physical trauma which is only apparent in about 1 in every 100 people, he had the choice of going on a worldwide genocide in order to wipe out ordinary people at the expense of awakening the powers within the 1% of the population, and still gave his life and defeated the beast, which he had the choice to become. cole was buried by his best friend in new orleans where he had a giant memoral building constructed and named after him and was named new orleans newest patron saint. cole and several other of his friends who had the gene gave up their life and the life of even people who had the conduit gene unactivated around the world died instantly. theyd done it to defeat the beast and protect humanity. this is a series you guys would love because it was the first series that delve into the concept of moral, you had the choice to do good or evil. a wise man once said, "if you want to see the true character of a man, give him power", and we saw what kind of man cole was.
Didn’t Fable also have the good and evil path? Not sure when each were release but that was an Xbox exclusive that was really fun. Want to check out more from this series and have heard the first two are really good 😀
Yayyyy Infamous. Infamous is one of those forgotten franchises that definitely deserves a remake or remaster in my opinion. The first two infamous games centered around a different character Cole McGrath who has electricity powers. Cole was a bike messenger delivering a package which turned out was actually a type of bomb called the "ray sphere" that activated the powers of people that possessed "the conduit gene" but at the cost of committing mass murder of regular humans upon detonation (think thanos snap but theres certain people immune) but in case you guys wanna react to the cutscenes or something I don't wanna give away too much about the story. I actually don't recommend playing the first 2 because as unique/fun mechanics they had in the games and the first game having one of the best openings to a video game ever, gameplay wise...the first one was pretty ROUGH the second one was better but it still carried some of the same issues the first one had, Second son and first light were definitely the best
One of the first games I immediately got for my brand new Ps4 after playing Infamous 1 and 2 on Ps3. Definitely one of my favorite game franchises of all time 🔥
I just finished playing through all the old infamous games and I forgot how awesome Delsin is. Cole is really sick too. I don’t know if I can pick a favorite now
Infamous second son, was a good open world game When the open world genre was no as Over saturated as it is now Its alos made by the same studio that did Ghost of tsushima.
The Infamous series is quite the gem that unfortunately doesn't get much attention anymore. It's a great superhero game with superhumans called Conduits as you picked up from the trailer and morale system based on your actions, using your power selflessly or selfishly (hence the name Infamous). A cool power system where you have to absorb from a source based on your character's conduit power. Electricity from batteries, power boxes, lamppost, and so on. Smoke from car exhaust, fires, smokestacks, and the like. While I enjoyed Second Son, I've always been more partial to the first two for the PS3. Hope you eventually get around to checking out some stuff from the two original games.
This was one of the first ps4 games I bought with my console back in the day and honestly such a fun way to reintroduce myself to PlayStation (I missed ps3 because I had the 360) honestly underrated and Troy baker killed it as Delsin in this game
There is limited power to the smoke ability, just like the original first and second Infamous, the limitation is a bar that keeps decreasing each time you shoot or do a charged shot, although in Second Son the charged shots are instead consumables, it was a decent game to platinum, no co-op however, and as you saw, you can have more than 1 ability, but in order to activate your preferred ability, is to get it from a source (Smoke ability from any burning car or vent and Neon ability from any Neon signs), there are 2 more, the last one you get by finishing the game, the Concrete power you see the soldiers use is actually given to them by a conduit, the antagonist of our protagonist and leader of D.U.P, just like the last games, you do have a karma meter too, you have to go a specific route in karma if you wish to unlock specific abilities, like Evil karma for much deadlier bullets.
Btw, all the powers that the protag gets, it's by ignoring personal space and "stealing" (although not exactly because the conduit he takes them from still have their abilities.) I think you're gonna enjoy seeing the 3rd conduit, he uses his powers in a pretty flashy way.
Night crawler and the Human Torch is correct! That power you see him using is “Smoke” he’s able to absorb and reuse three other forms of energy or material as power.
The thing i like about Infamous and Infamous:Second Son is that the powers arent what u expect U would probably expect idk fire or water but Infamous series is way different Smoke Neon Video or Concrete is pretty damn cool U can imagine what others would be like For example:Glass,Wire,Blood and so much more weird elements Edit:Chain beeing ur weapon is pretty damn cool
I loved this game back when it first came out, I played the hell out of it; I especially loved the powers you get in the game and how you got them, you start off with one and then acquire three more after defeating other Conduits (that's what the main character is and why he has powers) Delsin (the main character) starts off with smoke powers, as seen here in these trailers; later on, he can acquire Neon, which allows him to run super fast leaving streaks of neon light behind him, Glitch, which was my favorite power personally and changed appearance depending on your alignment (giant blue sword for good, giant red claws for evil), and Concrete, which I believe would be pretty self-explanatory!
The story itself is choice based, you can be good or evil, the way the powers work, is, you can have basically any matter based power, you can use for example, electricity, smoke, concrete, glass, paper, neon, video, and in very rare instances, there are conduits known as "The Beast" because it is very, very powerful, but there was only 1 that had that ability, I strongly suggest you guys try playing through it if it interests you, it's such a good game, and you learn about the powers, for some people it's just a dormant thing that needs something to trigger it, others can just be born with it.
It’s cool that both of you reacted to InFAMOUS, my favorite PS Exclusive game out of all exclusives and the karma system was always unique and being evil is better than being good cuz you can just destroy everyone and everything. You guys should react to the first 2 tho, it’s honestly way better than Second Son and they’re both nostalgic to me. The first InFAMOUS game is the best one I played
This was the 1st game I had when I bought the ps4 way way back when and I loved it. Definitely used the controller well in my opinion and since it was my 1st I was beyond happy with my purchase. I think I stayed up all night playing that game. The only other games I stayed up all night playing were resident evil 2 remake and Spiderman( the original and miles morales) called off work to play re2 remake too lol
Second son is a sequel to the two infamous games. Apparently the developer chooses the storyline for Second son based on the ending most people picked for the second infamous game. Each infamous game had two endings. A good guy ending and a bad guy ending.
Absolutely love this game! Was one of the first I got when I bought my ps4, need some more infamous but sucker punch seems to be focused on ghost of tsushima which I understand (and am exited for).
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It is definetely a possibility! The game did so well!! I can see either a direct sequel or maybe going with a different protagonist!
I really hope they bring back the InFamous series because that is one of my all-time favorites and Cole MacGrath is one of my all-time favorite characters. InFamous got me started on the series. InFamous: Festival of Blood got me hooked on the idea of buying InFamous 2. InFamous 2 was -- IMO -- the best game in the series overall. InFamous: Second Son & First Light are good too.
I have never actually seen live action trailers fro Second Son. Nice reaction. I still miss the original crew, though Delsin and his pals are awesome. I wonder if we will ever get a new game in this world and how will Paper conduit story end. Cause... that just ended on interesting implications in "Paper trail" DLC.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames As it turns out, visually stunning ones with great mobility. And if you get raised by DUP insane head honcho, then assassin skills, deadly force and political manifesto seems par the course.
If you liked the infamous franchise you guys should really check out Activision's Prototype franchise. It has a similar content and really nice story. It's a shame they didn't make another game.
There are older games that go into more detail but bio-terrorists or conduits have the ability to control elements. Like Smoke, Neon, electricity, and paper etc. Delson (I think that's how his name is spelled) is very special as he can have multiple ability and can obtain them just by touching a conduit.
How conduits came to be was because of a massive explosion caused by the main character in the first game which also caused a plague that affected non conduits.
I'm still praying they will port this game to PC. The originals were really fun to play when I still had a playstation and I loveeed the playthrough of this one I watched back in the day I looove the way to do the powers for Delsin he was such a cool character and so were the other "bio terrorists" you get to meet in the game. I would say its only flaw for me was the cookie cutter "It's open world so we have to put in a bunch of collectables and 1/20 "events" you can complete" in the game. similar to the spiderman games where there's a bunch of things you can do but they're really all the same thing over and over. Not mandatory, but still. Yes his brother is a cop. If I remember in the beginning he still a bit brainwashed by the evil corp's propaganda. I don't remember how they get powers, but I know that the evil corp is capturing these people to take their powers and use them for their military. Hence why there were troopers using these earth powers. As far as i know there's no limit to the powers people can have. All powers from characters you meet are heavily personally influenced. Even when Deslin takes/learns/copies these powers they still change to fit his own style more. (Also to add Delsin is unique in being able to naturally copy/take powers from other users as far as I remember)
As long as the collectibles are fun to do and the rewards for getting them help power you up, that’s fine with us. What we liked about the Spider-Man game was that the missions helped unlock more than just cosmetic changes. Like each suit had a different power in addition to a new look. 🙂😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames That's completely fair! I'm pretty sure in this game they help with upgrades too, but for me it's still a bit repetitive. Each their own in that regard I think.
I remember the first two games sort of being overshadowed by the game Prototype, and its sequel back when they released, but I always thought the Infamous games were better, and kind of flew under the radar. Second Son wasn't as good imo, but it's still a fun game, and evolves the gameplay a bit with new powers (the first two games just had electricity powers, Second Son has Smoke, Video, Neon, and Concrete) and I also liked the main character a lot more here, the first two games' main character was really generic and boring to me.
Some people definitely brought up Prototype in the comments as similar game to this with just the feeling of being overpowered and super charged as a character 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Prototype is fun, as a sort of sandbox where you can go around the city and consume anyone you see to shapeshift into them, along with their abilities and any memories they have that relate to the story. But it was a lot less focused and refined than Infamous imo. The trailers are pretty decent too, might be worth checking out!
These were fun games. Second Son also has an extra layer of unintentional hilarity here in Northern Ireland as we have a political party called the DUP that tends towards authoritarianism.
so.... there at least still some few remembrance of the previous SPP IP franchise to this Day then?--before that whole samurai game of theirs became their current IP. (which is a shame that it seems the infamous franchise is still currently, 'discontinued'). But why just-trailers? for a Second later after seeing a notification about this video, I would have thought it was about 'infamous: second son - all cutscenes reaction' kind of video....
in that verse's and world's current Timeline after that certain event 7+ Years aho for them, one of the main objectives of the DUP organization is to combat against any more Conduits. Human beings or some animals. keeping that world from ever having another rise of a new beast-like threat or RF 'Plague'. (02:00). hrm....it was tragic. in all of them.
Realistically, Neon energized capabilities (as far as Conduit-players know, guessed, etc) would be much faster. (12:11). probably not on the levels of flash speedsters, etc, but much more quickly. of course the visualized portrayals of those in-game action of them is limited. at least in IF:FS, Abigail shows that much faster speed compared to Delsin's experience of Neon mobility.
Delsin is an obsessed graffiti/stencil artist, after all, yes.... (13:22). you can even slightly participate in those wall spray paints of his, back in-Game. a sort of minigame kind of part of the IF:SS game.
Augustine, she's in. but she did said again: 'sometimes you have to fight [fire] with [fire].'. and that no surprising, but Unfortunate, that such practices (integrating small parts of the more Humanity side friendly-controlled personal army of super-beings to be comfortably put alongside the the still conventionally non-Conduit militaries of that world) has been done by those like america's DARPA, 𝘸𝘢𝘺 before such practices of the DUP (mostly those under Augustine's influence....and methods) were around. and that was during the slowly but eventually rapidly growing public awareness of the infamous Earth's Conduits kind of event, like that of Cole. and said-public know much a bit about him alright. sarcastically-speaking: Mocking him, Lies about him, covering ups about Conduits, etc. that we remember. (Damn, USTV of theirs. still remembering those small random tv propaganda pop up segments).
On first sight, his powers are a bit hard to identify. The devs definitely went a bit conceptual with them! The first and main one shown is 'smoke', which seems to include hot ash. In-game you refill your powers from any smoke source, e.g. burning cars, chimneys on roofs, etc. Despite that, smoke isn't his main ability, just the first he obtains (accidentally). His main ability is power absorption through touch, he has the unique ability to collect powers from other 'conduits'. There was a standalone spinoff called Infamous First Light, where you play as the girl with the neon powers. I actually played it the other week, and even a console generation later it still looks great.
yes, that type of rare(?) Conduit capability of his mainly absorbs Rayfield energy. nothing too different from....from how a beast level Conduit does, except Delsin isn't like John or that one from a Certain Cole's Past lifetime's beast. at least....not yet(?).
@@Ryan--G either SPP or another studio that does want to continue the spotlight of the infamous franchise (whether some kind of continuation--this time, longer than just the '7+ Year timeskip' that was told during when Delsin's story begins during after that timeskip. or still no sign for them coming up Some kind of continuated storytelling after IF:SS and instead just settle for finally some remastered options. or a reboot option). But so far, none. Damn frustrating it is.
Bio-terrorists are Humans with "unnatural" abbilities. As far as i know they are born with them, but not sure how it got to that point. Every Person has an abbility that represents his character. The D.U.P cleared these People as Bio-terrorists, they actually try to capture them for the safty of the "normal" Humans. An interessting mechanisim in the Game is, that the view of the people for these called "Bio-terrorists" is influenced by the players desicions and acting. If he goes around murdering people for fun, the town turns against the super-people, if he saves them and be an actual hero, the View goes into his favior For Our main Chrarakter, he uses not fire, but smoke, that why he can go through vents and charge his power by a burning car, because he just sucks the smoke in, but that not even his abbility. His true abbility is copying the abbility of other.
It kind of surprises me how much I've forgotten this series when it used to be my all time favorite. It was only my favorite until this game which I didn't like. I'll try to be as non spoilerly as possible but the plot is that in previous games a shadow company that controlled the country developed this thing that could give people powers. It did this by absorbing the souls of everyone in a wide radius and for people with potential it unlocks hidden powers. They had our main character of those games deliver it unknowingly to the center of Empire City (New York) and he gained power over electricity. In the second game some else's power is awakened and they gain the ability of the device that gave them power in the first place taking some of our guy's power in the process. Our hero escapes though and tries to regain it and then some. All the while the other guy follows and goes on a rampage turning every city between New York and New Orleans into a crater where maybe 1% live and gain powers. Hence the animosity towards them in this game. However at the same time some rich dude in New Orleans is trying recreate the MC's situation and gain god like power and awakens a few other people. This guy figures out a way to give other people a small piece of one power users power to normal humans which is relevant to this game. Although the second game had two wildly different endings. One where our hero becomes the villain who continues in the previous villain's foot steps. The other that this game follows involves the awakening of people all around the world without them knowing in some cases and the weaker ones dieing. But the vast majority of power users didn't need other humans only those in the east coast where the west coast ones are pretty much just mutants like X-Men. However they get the same prejudice as those who had hundreds, thousands, sometimes millions of souls put into them and the ones who use their power to cause trouble. Anyways I didn't like this game much just because the game play wasn't has fun and the powers didn't feel as well thought out on top of switching between them not being a thing without stopping. It feels better but everything outside of that doesn't play out as good as previous games. Not to mention the story especially if you go evil. Previous villain routes were understandable as bad as they were. This guy just acts like a child throwing a tantrum which I could understand him being a kid. However previous games were about you basically being a god and deciding if you want to act like it or be a Hero. I would love it however if the next game called that out the child behavior and let us be the guy who takes him down.
Man this game series is which something I want in a game like x-men awesome different powers(from neon to video game to your first one smoke)this game was inspired by x-men love the spray painting segments plus it was also nice to know what’s been going on in the world of infamous since the first and second game looking for Audio logs also love the the nickname that the people give him is the banner man haha So the conduit’s is something like the x-gene but the the thing is these powers are all random The first character in the first game is Cole McGrath his power was electricity The thing was that Cole started the whole conduits situation not on purpose it turns out a package he was delivering as a bike courier was a bomb and it cause him to activate his power his friend zeke and girlfriend helped him get under control he eventually got it under control however when the bomb activated New York now new empire city was under total lockdown and quarantine so the police were trying to help out as much as they can however Cole wasn’t the only that got powers others like him gangs and people who felt left behind started to rise up and want to control the new empire city however Cole finds out about a mysterious person looking for him for a reason that it all started and well depending on your good or bad side you save or destroy new empire and to stop the Beast or become the Beast (I’m not going to spoil the ending or the crazy twist) but if you want to just say yes if not then say no So I’m infamous two well the fbi or homeland security agent Kuo was looking for Cole because of his experience and exploits plus they need his help finding a scientist that need help he knows what coming which is the Beast but needs Cole help but first he needs to evacuate people out of new empire city which gets under attack by the Beast Cole saves as many people he can however the Beast was too much for him so him and Zeke head to Louisiana to meet with the scientist upon arriving he meets a group armed militia that don’t like and want him dead,to a resistance and police that need his help,to someone else like him that needs his help but for her own benefit however in second one you get to choose a second power but it depends if you are good or bad ice power is good and I think the other one is like some sorta beast/fire control type that is bad depending on your choice you get it which is cool Now the ending you sacrifice yourself and become a symbol of a hero and hope to the people or become the Beast to save people(gotta say though the bad ending made me cry because of what happens) So in second son Delsin was just a trouble kid as you saw however him and his brother end up in bit of rescue which is well the DUP are transferring Conduit prisoners to a new highly maximum security prison well delsin ended up touching the guy with smoke and well he has a unique gene which is apparently he take other conduit’s abilities but also see there memory’s delsin at first freaked out but figured it out however upon stopping the guy the DUP arrived and well the women in charge of DUP basically wonder what happened inside well Delsin get some stone in him as well as his people (he Native American btw) kinda horrible when you see the aftermath of it so Delsin wakes up see what happens his brother tells him what happened and the stone are causing a poison which are stuck to them which need to be removed by Augustine powers so Delsin and his brother go to Seattle and yeah that’s what happened I’m not going to say to much after that because I hope you guys play it’s very fun and awesome just wish we get a sequel to second son been 8 years already haha
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames hrm....I did not know that? by the way, yes....from back then, some parts of rival situations between the infamous franchise and the prototype franchise from back then (and still by some players' remembrance of the 2 verses' themes and elements to this Day), both reactions from Gameplay and especially Lore-wise scenario talks. not just because both franchises' each first game titles (IF01, P01) started out coincidentally on a Same Year from back then....
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames and both franchises' each 2 different first game titles starts off mostly on their world's fictional new york-type cities (kind of not a bit back in the infamous world, as that is mostly called 'empire city' instead. of where Cole was currently living before? and a bit different from both prototype's and our Real Life 'new york' city's).
or a good choice path. try to do so, definitely. even if just watching an all cutscenes type of showing of any/all of the indamous franchise's can be enough already.
As much as i love this game, it slys in comparison to the original 2. I played all of these games when they came out and got all the trophies so trust when i say there is nothing more legendary than the story of Cole Macgrath and choosing your path with him. The villains, the characters, the story, the soundtrack, everything about 1 and 2 make second son look mid at best. The only reason second son is a thing is because most people only played the good path and i believe that limited a lot of things the devs could have taken the story.
Infamous is definitely one of those good underrated and forgotten games besides the people playing it. Would recommend watching the 1st and 2nd game with Cole McGrath
MAN FACTS. I would just erase my data just to repeatedly play infamous 2 all over again. And Second Son

@@Blkintrovert88 hrm....they just had to discontinued(?) the infamous franchise, huh.
This game is so fun, especially testing out the different powers
Concrete was probably the one I ended up using most in the end-game
There’s Smoke, the standard ability that lets you phase through objects and enter air ducts
There’s Neon, which gives you Super-Speed, eventually you can unlock the ability to run infinitely, add that with the max speed you can get for the ability and you feel like The Flash. You can also trap enemies in stasis bubbles, causing them to freeze temporarily
There’s Video, which lets you summon glitchy demon minions, you gain wings that lets you swoop through the city, a laser blade, invisibility and can travel through antennas
There’s Concrete, which essentially turns you into The Thing. You can crush anything in your way and cover your entire body in rocks, causing bullets to bounce off of you
There was also a mission where a character has Origami powers, sadly we never obtain that ability in-game
Yeah. Concrete would be for us. Cuz we like to just destroy things and go berserk 😂
Infamous: Second Son was amazing when it released on PlayStation+ - one for the few reasons online subscriptions weren’t a completely bad thing.
So the basic breakdown of Infamous is essentially the X-men with a slightly more limited power set. Conduits (referred to as Bio-Terrorists by the government) are all capable of manipulating and absorbing a specific form of matter. The protagonist of the first Infamous game: Cole Macgrath was capable of controlling and absorbing electricity in any form: natural or otherwise. A conduit typically can’t use their powers without draining it from a source.
For example: if you are a lighting based conduit, you need to absorb a source to electricity in order to store it for later use. If you run out to juice, you need to absorb more electricity to recharge your batteries. You could drain a cellphone, streetlamp, car battery, or even natural lighting if you please.
Second Son takes place seven years after the second Infamous Game: Infamous 2. The protagonist Delsin Rowe had inherited his Conduit powers after getting caught vandalizing a building with his spray painting skills by his brother: Reggie Rowe. After a short scuffle with the leader of the DUP (Department of United Protection) Brooke Augustine, all of the members of Delsin and Reggie’s Akomosh tribe have concrete shards forcibly melded to their bones. Augustine is also a conduit, capable of absorbing and manipulating any form of concrete. Now with newfound purpose, Delsin seeks to track down Augustine and drain her of her powers to cure his friends and save their lives.
The appeal of infamous aside from the super powers is it’s morality system. As the title entails, you can become infamous. Being a superhuman doesn’t necessarily make you a good person, and abusing your powers will make you gain infamy - while saving innocents and holding back against the DUP will earn you the respect and adoration for he people, making you a Hero. The NPC’s in game will shower you with attention to ask for selfies, or even throw rocks at you or run away on sight depending on your behavior in game.
My personal favorite example of infamous behavior lies within the drain system. Let’s go back to the lighting example:
Recall how a lighting conduit can hypothetically drain power form any source of
electricity? Well it just so happens the human body gives off electrical impulses constantly, we do so just by thinking and moving. I’m sure you can see where this is going…
When it comes to heroic behavior, it’s a good thing to note that conduits have healing factors. By absorbing their given element, they heal exceedingly fast. This effect can also be applied to civilians injured in DUP shootouts, as they don’t exactly care about casualties. You can even restrain DUP troops instead of executing them by simple gluing their body to the ground with a constant wave of low temperature heat, kinda like how you get pushed around when the wind blow super hard.
Infamous: Second Son was an excellent ride,
I highly recommend grabbing it and it’s prequels if it’s on sale. Who doesn’t want to be an X-men?
Also, if you were a conduit, what form of matter would you base your powers off of? Personally? Can’t go wrong with Pyrokenisis. Plus The Human Torch and Ghost Rider are some do my favorite fire users in fiction.
Thanks so much for giving us all this info on the story and how the powers work in this. I think fire is the way to go as far as conduits go. Would be the best fireman ever 😇
Definitely not limited in power sets. The only limiting factor is the fact they have to recharge but there's ways around that as seen with the beast and characters like Cole if you choose to be evil since Coles electric based ability allows him to absorb the electrical signals in a persons body that keeps it running like the electrical signals in someone's brain etc but he can only do this if you choose to be evil. Cole arguably has the most versatile electric based ability in fiction because he can use it in various ways compared to electric based people from fiction like black lightning who can only absorb electricity and fire it off or use it to fly. Cole can not only absorb electricity from any electrical source but he can absorb it from living beings if he wanted and he is so versaitle with it he can use it to create magnetic fields to lift things around him using his mind, can even read minds by accessing the electrical signals in someones brain , can heal people by increasing their healing properties using his electricity etc.

I never click so fast to witness you both react to “Infamous” content as the games are amazing and Second Sons is a beautiful game to take place several years later after the 2 one with you playing as Delsin Rowl as he is the new “gifted” person that have powers given to him by touch. The pervious games have it being a gene and control Electrical style powers. Highly recommend checking out “Infamous”, “Infamous 2”, “Infamous 2: Bad Blood” and “Infamous Second Sons: First Light” as it’s a big series to go by. Also I am hoping Sucker Punch do a remaster of the old games to newer ones since they done amazing job in Ghost of tsushima that they should use their graphic design to brighten old game with a new design. 😁😁
Thanks GR for the info and glad we finally started covering this series you enjoy so much 🥳
No problem 😁 and glad to hear that as I feel honored
I'm glad you're checking out Infamous. The first 2 games follow Cole McGrath. A conduit caused by being in a massive explosion and gaining electricity based powers. Cole tries to figure out if he wants to be a true hero, or a tyrant (hence the series being called Infamous). In Second Son, we follow Delsin Rowe. Delsin is one of the few conduits after Cole sacrifices himself to stop the Beast mentioned in Infamous 2 (Cole being a true hero in the second game is canon). Delsin has the power to absorb other powers, throughout the game you have an array of different powers. Delsin's main power is smoke, which he is granted when he absorbs a conduit named Hanks' power. Fetch has the power over Neon, and has her own game Infamous First Light. First Light is a prequel to Second Son, and Sucker Punch's last installment to the Infamous series back in 2014.
Don't forget about the guy with video powers and the boss who has concrete too
Thanks for giving us some more info on the series overall, Jason. 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Eugene, Augustine, yes. they were.
Infamous is such an underrated franchise!! With that being said this is the third game in the series. In the first two games in which you play as a different character he has electricity abilities and it’s absolutely awesome!! Highly recommend them.
We will have to look into those 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yay!! 😄
Infamous was one of those games that once I played the first one, I instantly bought the 2nd one... and when I found out I could get Second Son when I got my PS4 on day one, I bought it with no hesitation without even knowing about the trailers. Years later, I still say the story and the games hold up well.
Nice. That is a glowing review 🤩
The conduit powers shown in Second Son are Smoke, Neon, Video, and Concrete. Each one has its own special uses, like smoke going through vents, video being able to jump through tv antennae, or neon being able to run like hell
Jumping through tv antennas sounds fun 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Lore-wise, Conduits of that matter (or energy, abstract, whichever else they manipulate at this point) manipulation would just go much quickly instantly even further.
but it is just a short-ranged and slow radio-waves kind of higher jump escape method.
you Can't infinitely literally fly too like those like Eugene, etc, because....you/we have a playable character. yeah.
as with Gameplay balancing developers Want to say anyways.
(and would be kind of boring if one were to just infinitely glide all over the entire map that easily without having to use Neon dash, or scaling very short skyscrapers ever again. not like I would argue that.
a small tip (just in case): there are a few methods on how to stay in the air longer than a Minute though (mostly just speaking about IF:SS only. because as Cole, we can't fly....yet. Lore-wise), but yeah, it's not literal forever kind of flying.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames or an army of digitized pixelated wingmen. kind of.
Saw this notification and had to click on it. I loved this game so much and now i get to see you guys react to the trailers!
😀🥳
Infamous 1 and 2 tell the story of Cole MacGrath who gains electricity powers and sacrifices himself at the end of the second one. This new character, Delsin Rowe, is a graffiti artist on an Indian reservation when a DUP prison bus crashes Delsin touches one of the prisoners and learns he can mimic the powers of other conduits. Most of the game involves Delsin and his brother traveling around Seattle liberating districts from DUP control and recruiting the escaped conduits to take on the leader of the DUP who is also a conduit.
😎👍🙂
A little background for the game. Due to reasons from the first two games, people with powers or "Conduits" started popping up. In a short amount of time, the wrong people with powers started causing a lot of death and destruction. As a result, Conduits, now dubbed "Bioterrorists" are being rounded up and incarcerated without parole or trial. They are called "Conduits" because they are conduits of, typically, one element. For example, in this game, there's a conduit of smoke, neon, video, and concrete. We also, through collectables learn that there are conduits of wire and glass. In a side mission, we meet a conduit of paper, who just so happens to be a zodiac-esque serial killer. In the past, we've seen conduits of lightning, ice, oil, tar, and junk (they instead call that last one telekinesis, but I think it's more control over metal than anything else). The main character of this game, as you picked up on, has the unique power of being able to duplicate the powers of other conduits through touch, which you saw when he got neon powers. They don't have unlimited powers. The conduits have to absorb their element to recharge. The developers just don't show that in the demo gameplay usually.
Thanks for the background info on this 😀
As someone who has the platinum for this game and plays it every now and then I can say it's an amazingly fun game and totally worth a playthrough, also to answer some questions, conduits in the infamous universe are people born with the ability to control manmade elements, smoke, neon, video, concrete ect. (The soldier he was fighting that would jump away was infused with concrete powers). The main character, Delson rowe has the unique ability to absorb powers from other conduits, but to a slightly less powerful degree, at least in gameplay. Honestly I would recommend checking out more infamous stuff in the future.
Thanks for answering some of our questions 🙂
Your power could literally be anything pretty much, glass, paper, digital signal, you name it.
Wonder what power of paper would be 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Funnily enough, a character in this series actually does have paper powers. Let's them create paper birds that flap around and stuff if i remember correctly. You should give Infamous a try, it is always awesome watching people new to the series experience it for the first time.
Infamous was the first game that was made specifically for videogames in a time when all superheros games were only comics/movies adaptations and that's pretty cool!
Yay! I’m glad you guys reacted to this game. If possible the older game trailers are definitely worth a watch, I sure they’re there on RUclips still. The story for this game series is very cool.
Do plan to check out the older games as well 🙂
In the first 2 games an item called the Ray sphere exploded and spread the conduit gene to certain people. The conduit gene allows people to absorb and manipulate a specific element. In the very first 2 games, the player, cole McGrath had electricity powers. In infamous second son, delsins conduit gene allows him to absorb powers from other conduits with the very first one he gets is smoke. And neon was the pink laser power that he gets in some of the trailers
Thanks for giving us some story info 😀
This entire series rules so hard. HIGHLY recommend, Second Son's visuals also aged like fine wine. Colorful and gorgeous. There are 3 main games and 2 side games. The order is
inFAMOUS
inFAMOUS 2
inFAMOUS Festival of Blood (Halloween special if you want to save it)
inFAMOUS Second Son
inFAMOUS First Light (serves as a prequel to Second Son, but it really is better to play it after)
For ease of recording, Second Son and First Light are easy to get to and won't really spoil the first 2.5 games. But I do recommend trying them, especially if PS5 ever makes the update that allows you to download PS3 games instead of just streaming them.
Thanks for the recommendation. We will have to check out more from this series 🙂
Conduits have a specific material or energy source and can absorb then manipulate it for example because delsin has smoke as his first power he can go to any fire and steal the smoke to both heal any injuries and restore his ability to use his powers and because smoke has embers in it he can also to a smaller extent use it to control heat thus he can basically coat his chain in embers to superheat it then beat people with it. however every conduit only has 1 resource they can use and they can be very specific or pretty broad (except delsin because his power source is conduits themselves as far as I can tell and when absorbs them he gets their powers and the ability to absorb their resource). The conduits powers I remember are smoke, glass, paper, concrete, wire, electricity, blood?, And neon. As for what conduits are they can be born like normal people during the time second sun takes place but that has something to do with some great world ending super conduit thing stopped by the previous games protagonist
Thanks for the info on conduits and powers in the game 🙂
I've never thought i'd see you guys react to some inFAMOUS! I hope you can play it on stream some day!
We have a long gaming list 😅 we need to check out more from the series 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The longer the better! The content is never ending. :)
If you want a wildcard of a game, might I suggest Battleborn? It is a MOBA shooter that has an awesome sci-fi setting with tons of goofy characters. The best part is the game was made by the same people who made Borderlands.
We do enjoy what we’ve seen from Borderlands and that style 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames a little clarification for you. Battleborn is a MOBA shooter which has a good mix of melee heroes and gun toting characters.
Additionally, each character levels up over the course of a match and has a choice between two augments per level gained so you can tailor a hero to your preferred playstyle for that type of character, but when you play a new match you will be reset to level one and do it all over again. Lastly, you might be thinking Battleborn is like overwatch, it is not. They may have been released around the same time but Battleborn is more true to the MOBA formula than Overwatch would ever dream of being. Overwatch has more in common with Team Fortress 2. I hope this information has been helpful.
The best way to explain conduits is to think of them as marvel mutants
Conduits who work under the goverment would be like the x-men, and are used as the unit you send for extremely dangerous stuff
Conduits who act independently are called bio-terrorists, and are (understandably) extremely feared due to how crazy unpredictable they can be with their powers
In this case Dhelsin's power is that of a sponge who can copy other conduits powers by touching them
For sure got an X-men vibe from this. Thanks for helping us learn more about the conduits 🙂
To answer some of your questions, this franchise takes place in alternate world where people possess the conduit gene. The conduit gene allows manipulation of certain elements. The elements highlighted in this game are smoke (what Delsin, the main character, is using at the beginning), neon, video, and concrete (someone else help fill in if I forgot any). These people (identified as Conduits) are usually hunted by the government since people tend to fear what they don't understand. Delsin is also unique in this universe in that he can swap the power he can manipulate, where as every conduit they have ever introduced in the series has control over only a single element. Although, admittedly I believe Cole, in InFamous 2, did get some ice powers on top of his electricity, but it has been so long I could be mistaken.
Thanks for helping answer some of our questions 😀
Yeah Cole got some limited ice abilities in 2, but he can get some fire abilities instead depending on a different choice
@@spikewolfenheart5406 no, he doesn't have fire powers but if you choose to be evil he gains the ability to absorb life force but that ability is just a variant of his electric abilities which he uses to absorb the electrical properties in a humans body like neurons etc.
@@calebstephan2083 Infamous 2 Cole can gets fire abilities by mixing his conduit powers through machine with Nix's. Electricity X Oil = Fire.
in the gameplay trailer there is no hud so you can't see your 'ammo'. abilities need to be recharged by absorbing (in this case) smoke from any source that is around you. spots are marked on the minimap or just smash a car with melee to make it go boom. you start with the little shots first then unlock other abilities that can also be further upgraded. for the big ultimate you have to do a certain amount of mayhem/kills to have it available.
you can become a hero or renegade depending on the choices you make within the game and what you do in the open world - attacking civilians will shift you to red... bringing down drugdealers will give you blue points.
But you can keep going back and forth right? One choice doesn’t ultimately decide it? 🤔
to switch the power you just absorb its source. smoke, neon signs, television screens.
oh and the rank of hero/renegade you are at also gives you different options to upgrade powers. adds to the replay value :)
The game is really fun there's two Routes in the game hero or infamous (aka villain) the game and mission are the same but the personality of delsin ( who you play as ) will change by Wish routes you play being a geed guy or bad guy
but back in the Gameplay structures of IF01, and IF02, at least that has a lot of major either [Two] Sides-Choices that they portrayed.
some says that IF:SS was Rushed, Incomplete. no arguments there, when it comes with the duration of story-wise, still a lot of unofficially unexplained infamous Lore situations, etc.
Fun! Helps with replayability 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Unfortunately All of the infamous games don't have new game plus modes. (let alone able to replay any main Campaign, side, etc missions on the same saved data and not have to just manually do a new game save experience instead).
Gameplay-speaking, would have been more fun.
(yet they added that and an official multiplayer section in suckerpunch's samurai IP instead?.... some Conduit-players have been wanting those in-game features before any Past future releases of infamous games had been officially launched, but Unfortunately we didn't.
I can't described it well, but: imagining during a multiplayer freeroam scenario running around the seattle map with multiple other Delsin's (other players) consecutively each spawning a lot of virtual wingmen in just 5+ Seconds or something as we unleash such a digitalized army towards a DUP stronghold location.
but that would be overkill....
Just like Bethany says, people who suddenly shows super powers was the by product of a rogue experiment and most of them got killed including the protagonist of first series when activating a device that kills all conduits so as to stop an evil and unstoppable conduit villian. However, the damage done by these people, especially the villain adequately called beast, was seens by the people around the world, and some of the conduits survived.
Department of Unified Protection or D.U.P was founded to arrest and contain "bio-terrorists" with extreme prejudice. However, they become authoritarian group, restricting the populous.
The second son's protagonist, Delsin was just a normal punk with a thing for graffiti, until he stumbled upon upturned armored car that was transporting arrested conduits. When grabbed by one of the escapists, he realized he is the conduit too. However D.U.P with it's leader Brooke Augustine arrive to catch all the escapists. Augustine is a conduit but ironically, she is hyper-conduit hater. Sensing Delsin is hiding something, she interrogates/tortures him with her powers, materializing concrete spike inside his legs. When he would not talk, she threaten to torture his town's neighbors. Whether he confess or not(one of the key good/evil choices), she continues to put spikes at the WHOLE TOWN, leaving them dying a painful death.
After realizing his power is actually "copying" other conduit's powers, Delsin and his brother Reggie set out for Augustine, both to copy her powers to heal his folk and for some good old revenge.
The first power he gets is the iconic "smoke", but later he also gets "neon" as one of the trailer shows and "computer" where he meets a nerdy conduit who can materialize computer character into the real world.
Thanks for giving us some info on the story here 😀
"Bio-terrorist threat" soundtrack so good, always was my top-10 game ost
In Infamous second son there are good guy or bad guy decisions to make.I recommend if it’s your first Play through be a good guy. You take a lot of damage in this game.I don’t know if that’s a good ending or bad ending. I’ve only beat the game once.
It’s nice that you can play the game two different ways. Helps replayability 😁🥳
If you wanna know what infamous is about, it's a choices and options game, you can either be the nicest guy in town or a complete d!ck to anyone and everyone around you. Your powers also change depending on what path you take, example: if your good your smoke powers will have an orange white hue, if your evil it will go red and black. This game is fun however it's considered one of the lesser titles in the infamous series, especially compared to the first two.
😎👍🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames you should definitely check out infamous 1 and 2, I think you'll be impressed
conduit is a nicer name for bio-terrorist and the conduits some got experimented on but the main character got his powers by accident when he came across another conduit...his power is called "smoke" thats why his body can disperse and he can go into vents but as u saw in one of the trailers when he touched that girl he got her powers which is neon and we saw him absorb the neon lights...so in game as u go on you meet 3 conduits i believe making u have 3 different powers and when you complete the game u get a 4th power which belongs to the main villian of the story (also this game features choices/paths were u get to decide if you wanna be evil and a criminal and being awarded for killing DUPs and civilians because conduits are outcasted and seen as terrorist or u can be a good guy saving lives , spreading positive messages in the city through graffiti and u get awarded for knocking out DUPs and not killing, your powers change slightly depending on your path so the player gets to choose )
Conduit is a smart name to use over bio terrorists. That’s a name you want to avoid 😨
Delson has the power to absorb powers. So in the story you meet other conduits and take their powers.
you guys should react to the first 2 infamous games, which second son is a direct result of the first 2 games. cole truly overcame great adversity after being branded a national terrorist, after accidentally setting off a small nuke in the middle of times square new york and destroying 7 strait blocks. cole was also the strongest conduit ever, before delsin took the title, even though he couldnt absorb different matter like delsin, he could literally absorb electricity and manipulate it, completely mastering it and briefly mastering the power of ice. he could call electricity from the sky and create tornadoes. like cole was a walking force of nature, if it was storming outside, he was basically immortal because he could control the lighting and get power from the atmosphere itself. a true hero. the world was also in great chaos because there was also a worldwide plague killing million of people a week and conduits were immune. so humanity was actively dying out by the tens of millions per month. so cole actively had to weigh the life of people who were outcasts with supernatural powers, that understood him against ordinary people who were dying from sickness, like his family. cole overcame being hunted by the entire country and otherwise sacrificing himself when he couldve created a race of conduit only species by unlocking the conduit gene, by causing great physical trauma which is only apparent in about 1 in every 100 people, he had the choice of going on a worldwide genocide in order to wipe out ordinary people at the expense of awakening the powers within the 1% of the population, and still gave his life and defeated the beast, which he had the choice to become. cole was buried by his best friend in new orleans where he had a giant memoral building constructed and named after him and was named new orleans newest patron saint. cole and several other of his friends who had the gene gave up their life and the life of even people who had the conduit gene unactivated around the world died instantly. theyd done it to defeat the beast and protect humanity. this is a series you guys would love because it was the first series that delve into the concept of moral, you had the choice to do good or evil. a wise man once said, "if you want to see the true character of a man, give him power", and we saw what kind of man cole was.
Didn’t Fable also have the good and evil path? Not sure when each were release but that was an Xbox exclusive that was really fun. Want to check out more from this series and have heard the first two are really good 😀
Love this game it never gets old 😊☺️👍👌🔥❤️💯
First game I got the platinum trophy. Fantastic game. :)
Played it like 5 times tired of it now but like it was an awesome experience
Been wishing they remaster the first two games
@@blackstar-genX Second Son aged well IMO but I would want a proper 4k 60FPS update, a dynamic day/night cycle, and an RT implementation
😎🤟
Yayyyy Infamous. Infamous is one of those forgotten franchises that definitely deserves a remake or remaster in my opinion. The first two infamous games centered around a different character Cole McGrath who has electricity powers. Cole was a bike messenger delivering a package which turned out was actually a type of bomb called the "ray sphere" that activated the powers of people that possessed "the conduit gene" but at the cost of committing mass murder of regular humans upon detonation (think thanos snap but theres certain people immune) but in case you guys wanna react to the cutscenes or something I don't wanna give away too much about the story. I actually don't recommend playing the first 2 because as unique/fun mechanics they had in the games and the first game having one of the best openings to a video game ever, gameplay wise...the first one was pretty ROUGH the second one was better but it still carried some of the same issues the first one had, Second son and first light were definitely the best
Hmm. So maybe instead of playing them we just watch playthrough 🤔
One of the first games I immediately got for my brand new Ps4 after playing Infamous 1 and 2 on Ps3. Definitely one of my favorite game franchises of all time 🔥
😎🤟🥳
I just finished playing through all the old infamous games and I forgot how awesome Delsin is. Cole is really sick too. I don’t know if I can pick a favorite now
Infamous second son, was a good open world game
When the open world genre was no as Over saturated as it is now
Its alos made by the same studio that did Ghost of tsushima.
Another game we must try 🙂
The Infamous series is quite the gem that unfortunately doesn't get much attention anymore.
It's a great superhero game with superhumans called Conduits as you picked up from the trailer and morale system based on your actions, using your power selflessly or selfishly (hence the name Infamous).
A cool power system where you have to absorb from a source based on your character's conduit power.
Electricity from batteries, power boxes, lamppost, and so on.
Smoke from car exhaust, fires, smokestacks, and the like.
While I enjoyed Second Son, I've always been more partial to the first two for the PS3. Hope you eventually get around to checking out some stuff from the two original games.
yes....those 2 companies are too busy in updating that samurai game of theirs instead.
Smoke from car exhaust is neat trick. Gain power and help environment 😛😇
Love this franchise
😎🤟
Another similar series of games are the "prototype" games, where you play as a superpowered guy in an open world city
We’ve seen some trailers from that as well 😀 ruclips.net/video/j7nLaUspCQA/видео.html
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames ohhh right. I seen that video, i forgot XD
This was one of the first ps4 games I bought with my console back in the day and honestly such a fun way to reintroduce myself to PlayStation (I missed ps3 because I had the 360) honestly underrated and Troy baker killed it as Delsin in this game
"Infamous: First Light" is one of the most enjoyable games I've played in the last 5 years. Amazing DLC for this game. Fetch is such a cool character
😎👍🙂
I loved Infamous 2 as a kid. It was phenomenal. Wish I got to play this one too.
There is limited power to the smoke ability, just like the original first and second Infamous, the limitation is a bar that keeps decreasing each time you shoot or do a charged shot, although in Second Son the charged shots are instead consumables, it was a decent game to platinum, no co-op however, and as you saw, you can have more than 1 ability, but in order to activate your preferred ability, is to get it from a source (Smoke ability from any burning car or vent and Neon ability from any Neon signs), there are 2 more, the last one you get by finishing the game, the Concrete power you see the soldiers use is actually given to them by a conduit, the antagonist of our protagonist and leader of D.U.P, just like the last games, you do have a karma meter too, you have to go a specific route in karma if you wish to unlock specific abilities, like Evil karma for much deadlier bullets.
Btw, all the powers that the protag gets, it's by ignoring personal space and "stealing" (although not exactly because the conduit he takes them from still have their abilities.) I think you're gonna enjoy seeing the 3rd conduit, he uses his powers in a pretty flashy way.
Thanks for answering our question about the powers. We didn’t see a bar in the game so weren’t sure 🙂
Night crawler and the Human Torch is correct! That power you see him using is “Smoke” he’s able to absorb and reuse three other forms of energy or material as power.
Add Ghost Rider with the flaming chains and the penance stare-like grab lol
So we were both right 😁
The thing i like about Infamous and Infamous:Second Son is that the powers arent what u expect
U would probably expect idk fire or water but Infamous series is way different
Smoke Neon Video or Concrete is pretty damn cool
U can imagine what others would be like
For example:Glass,Wire,Blood and so much more weird elements
Edit:Chain beeing ur weapon is pretty damn cool
Ik I’m late but they pass down the powers the origin of the first one is unknown I think but basically they turn each other into conduits
😎👍🙂 it’s okay to be late
This is my favourite game of the series! I love it so much, I walked it through as soon as I got my hands on it!
Nice! 🥳😀
I loved this game back when it first came out, I played the hell out of it; I especially loved the powers you get in the game and how you got them, you start off with one and then acquire three more after defeating other Conduits (that's what the main character is and why he has powers)
Delsin (the main character) starts off with smoke powers, as seen here in these trailers; later on, he can acquire Neon, which allows him to run super fast leaving streaks of neon light behind him, Glitch, which was my favorite power personally and changed appearance depending on your alignment (giant blue sword for good, giant red claws for evil), and Concrete, which I believe would be pretty self-explanatory!
That’s fun that you keep acquiring powers throughout the game 😁
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I'd highly recommend that you guys play it! It's a great game :]
The story itself is choice based, you can be good or evil, the way the powers work, is, you can have basically any matter based power, you can use for example, electricity, smoke, concrete, glass, paper, neon, video, and in very rare instances, there are conduits known as "The Beast" because it is very, very powerful, but there was only 1 that had that ability, I strongly suggest you guys try playing through it if it interests you, it's such a good game, and you learn about the powers, for some people it's just a dormant thing that needs something to trigger it, others can just be born with it.
Thanks for giving us a little more info on the game. We need to check out rest of franchise at some point 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames you're very welcome, and I strongly suggest you do, it seems like something you guys would really like
It’s cool that both of you reacted to InFAMOUS, my favorite PS Exclusive game out of all exclusives and the karma system was always unique and being evil is better than being good cuz you can just destroy everyone and everything. You guys should react to the first 2 tho, it’s honestly way better than Second Son and they’re both nostalgic to me. The first InFAMOUS game is the best one I played
We plan to check out more. Sometimes we start at the beginning and sometimes we jump to the most recent one 🤗
This was the 1st game I had when I bought the ps4 way way back when and I loved it. Definitely used the controller well in my opinion and since it was my 1st I was beyond happy with my purchase. I think I stayed up all night playing that game. The only other games I stayed up all night playing were resident evil 2 remake and Spiderman( the original and miles morales) called off work to play re2 remake too lol
Love those type of games that you can just get lost in right from the start ☺️
Second son is a sequel to the two infamous games. Apparently the developer chooses the storyline for Second son based on the ending most people picked for the second infamous game. Each infamous game had two endings. A good guy ending and a bad guy ending.
yes, a good ending choice or an Evil ending choice.
😎👍🙂
I think it would be a really good if you guys did a play through of this,or even streaming it.
Might have to add it to our gaming list 🙂
I haven't get to play this game for while
Blast Shards are a Pain still. back during IF01 and IF02 anyways.
Absolutely love this game! Was one of the first I got when I bought my ps4, need some more infamous but sucker punch seems to be focused on ghost of tsushima which I understand (and am exited for).
The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima? 😯😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It is definetely a possibility! The game did so well!! I can see either a direct sequel or maybe going with a different protagonist!
Ah second son is quite a good game next to the infamous 1 and 2 glad you both checked it out ken and Beth you both are in for a treat. ^^
😎👍😀
Ya that dudes power is mostly stealing other people's powers without taking them completely
I really hope they bring back the InFamous series because that is one of my all-time favorites and Cole MacGrath is one of my all-time favorite characters.
InFamous got me started on the series.
InFamous: Festival of Blood got me hooked on the idea of buying InFamous 2.
InFamous 2 was -- IMO -- the best game in the series overall.
InFamous: Second Son & First Light are good too.
I have never actually seen live action trailers fro Second Son. Nice reaction. I still miss the original crew, though Delsin and his pals are awesome. I wonder if we will ever get a new game in this world and how will Paper conduit story end. Cause... that just ended on interesting implications in "Paper trail" DLC.
What kind of powers does paper give you 😯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames As it turns out, visually stunning ones with great mobility. And if you get raised by DUP insane head honcho, then assassin skills, deadly force and political manifesto seems par the course.
If you liked the infamous franchise you guys should really check out Activision's Prototype franchise. It has a similar content and really nice story. It's a shame they didn't make another game.
We checked out a little bit from Prototype ruclips.net/video/j7nLaUspCQA/видео.html 🙂
I wish they made a new one. And remake first and second one.
they are Unfortunately too busy focusing on that samurai game of theirs. which is a disappointment still.
Definitely should check out all the infamous games
it's a great story ya have to play this and find out how dark it is with the story lol
And how dark we can make it with our choices 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames so true lol
Fun fact: If you pre ordered this game from Gamestop It came with two Redbulls and a box of glow in the dark condoms XD
😂
There are older games that go into more detail but bio-terrorists or conduits have the ability to control elements. Like Smoke, Neon, electricity, and paper etc. Delson (I think that's how his name is spelled) is very special as he can have multiple ability and can obtain them just by touching a conduit.
How conduits came to be was because of a massive explosion caused by the main character in the first game which also caused a plague that affected non conduits.
Thanks for explaining conduits for us as we did wonder what they were about 🙂
Dang! Loving the gameplay! 🔥🔥🔥
🤩
In order to understand infamous second son, you need to play both the original infamous games
or watch. I did almost expected this, but until reading the full title of this video's....
Which makes sense being a sequel 🤗🙂
Miss this game so much
☺️
I'm still praying they will port this game to PC. The originals were really fun to play when I still had a playstation and I loveeed the playthrough of this one I watched back in the day
I looove the way to do the powers for Delsin he was such a cool character and so were the other "bio terrorists" you get to meet in the game.
I would say its only flaw for me was the cookie cutter "It's open world so we have to put in a bunch of collectables and 1/20 "events" you can complete" in the game. similar to the spiderman games where there's a bunch of things you can do but they're really all the same thing over and over. Not mandatory, but still.
Yes his brother is a cop. If I remember in the beginning he still a bit brainwashed by the evil corp's propaganda. I don't remember how they get powers, but I know that the evil corp is capturing these people to take their powers and use them for their military. Hence why there were troopers using these earth powers.
As far as i know there's no limit to the powers people can have. All powers from characters you meet are heavily personally influenced. Even when Deslin takes/learns/copies these powers they still change to fit his own style more. (Also to add Delsin is unique in being able to naturally copy/take powers from other users as far as I remember)
As long as the collectibles are fun to do and the rewards for getting them help power you up, that’s fine with us.
What we liked about the Spider-Man game was that the missions helped unlock more than just cosmetic changes. Like each suit had a different power in addition to a new look. 🙂😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames That's completely fair! I'm pretty sure in this game they help with upgrades too, but for me it's still a bit repetitive. Each their own in that regard I think.
Troy Baker as Delsin Rowe.
Dude is everywhere 🤩
Easily one of my favorite games of all time, you should definitely play it
Might have to add it to our gaming list 🙂
Kinda hate that they only show evil karma Trailers. Good karma is so good
I play infamous second son and I I beat it you guys made my day reacting to the trailer🤟😀🤟
Yay! Happy to hear, Jay! 😀
I remember the first two games sort of being overshadowed by the game Prototype, and its sequel back when they released, but I always thought the Infamous games were better, and kind of flew under the radar. Second Son wasn't as good imo, but it's still a fun game, and evolves the gameplay a bit with new powers (the first two games just had electricity powers, Second Son has Smoke, Video, Neon, and Concrete) and I also liked the main character a lot more here, the first two games' main character was really generic and boring to me.
Some people definitely brought up Prototype in the comments as similar game to this with just the feeling of being overpowered and super charged as a character 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Prototype is fun, as a sort of sandbox where you can go around the city and consume anyone you see to shapeshift into them, along with their abilities and any memories they have that relate to the story. But it was a lot less focused and refined than Infamous imo. The trailers are pretty decent too, might be worth checking out!
Still waiting for a sequel (with realistic physics hopefully)!
I'm still waiting for the video reaction of Fall Of Cybertron :(
These were fun games. Second Son also has an extra layer of unintentional hilarity here in Northern Ireland as we have a political party called the DUP that tends towards authoritarianism.
Art imitating life or vice versa 😜
so....
there at least still some few remembrance of the previous SPP IP franchise to this Day then?--before that whole samurai game of theirs became their current IP. (which is a shame that it seems the infamous franchise is still currently, 'discontinued').
But why just-trailers?
for a Second later after seeing a notification about this video, I would have thought it was about 'infamous: second son - all cutscenes reaction' kind of video....
the city mostly that the IF:SS game takes place in is in seattle city. also.
though you probably know/remember that already?
in that verse's and world's current Timeline after that certain event 7+ Years aho for them, one of the main objectives of the DUP organization is to combat against any more Conduits. Human beings or some animals. keeping that world from ever having another rise of a new beast-like threat or RF 'Plague'. (02:00).
hrm....it was tragic. in all of them.
Realistically, Neon energized capabilities (as far as Conduit-players know, guessed, etc) would be much faster. (12:11). probably not on the levels of flash speedsters, etc, but much more quickly. of course the visualized portrayals of those in-game action of them is limited.
at least in IF:FS, Abigail shows that much faster speed compared to Delsin's experience of Neon mobility.
Delsin is an obsessed graffiti/stencil artist, after all, yes.... (13:22).
you can even slightly participate in those wall spray paints of his, back in-Game. a sort of minigame kind of part of the IF:SS game.
Thanks for giving us info on this game and answering our questions we had while watching it 🙂
One game i would like to suggest for you is BRUTAL LEGEND. unfortunately i dont have a twitter or patreon etc...
Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
And the leader is a hypocrite, she has powers and has absolutely no problems using them to hurt innocent people
Augustine, she's in.
but she did said again: 'sometimes you have to fight [fire] with [fire].'.
and that no surprising, but Unfortunate, that such practices (integrating small parts of the more Humanity side friendly-controlled personal army of super-beings to be comfortably put alongside the the still conventionally non-Conduit militaries of that world) has been done by those like america's DARPA, 𝘸𝘢𝘺 before such practices of the DUP (mostly those under Augustine's influence....and methods) were around. and that was during the slowly but eventually rapidly growing public awareness of the infamous Earth's Conduits kind of event, like that of Cole. and said-public know much a bit about him alright.
sarcastically-speaking: Mocking him, Lies about him, covering ups about Conduits, etc. that we remember.
(Damn, USTV of theirs. still remembering those small random tv propaganda pop up segments).
and we are still waiting for the next infamous game.
I love this game; it's an absolute blast to play. I heard the first two games are better, so I recommend looking into inFAMOUS 1 & 2.
We do plan to check those out as well 🙂
I love the powers in the game
even if most of them are kind of purposefully limited in their portrayal, Gameplay-wise.
😎🤟
On first sight, his powers are a bit hard to identify. The devs definitely went a bit conceptual with them! The first and main one shown is 'smoke', which seems to include hot ash. In-game you refill your powers from any smoke source, e.g. burning cars, chimneys on roofs, etc. Despite that, smoke isn't his main ability, just the first he obtains (accidentally). His main ability is power absorption through touch, he has the unique ability to collect powers from other 'conduits'.
There was a standalone spinoff called Infamous First Light, where you play as the girl with the neon powers. I actually played it the other week, and even a console generation later it still looks great.
yes, that type of rare(?) Conduit capability of his mainly absorbs Rayfield energy.
nothing too different from....from how a beast level Conduit does, except Delsin isn't like John or that one from a Certain Cole's Past lifetime's beast.
at least....not yet(?).
😎👍😀
@@CaptainPilipinas Don't say it! I'm still annoyed we don't have Infamous 1 & 2 remasters! 😄
@@Ryan--G either SPP or another studio that does want to continue the spotlight of the infamous franchise (whether some kind of continuation--this time, longer than just the '7+ Year timeskip' that was told during when Delsin's story begins during after that timeskip. or still no sign for them coming up Some kind of continuated storytelling after IF:SS and instead just settle for finally some remastered options. or a reboot option).
But so far, none. Damn frustrating it is.
Bio-terrorists are Humans with "unnatural" abbilities. As far as i know they are born with them, but not sure how it got to that point.
Every Person has an abbility that represents his character.
The D.U.P cleared these People as Bio-terrorists, they actually try to capture them for the safty of the "normal" Humans. An interessting mechanisim in the Game is, that the view of the people for these called "Bio-terrorists" is influenced by the players desicions and acting. If he goes around murdering people for fun, the town turns against the super-people, if he saves them and be an actual hero, the View goes into his favior
For Our main Chrarakter, he uses not fire, but smoke, that why he can go through vents and charge his power by a burning car, because he just sucks the smoke in, but that not even his abbility. His true abbility is copying the abbility of other.
Thanks for giving us more info and correcting us on the type of power he has in the beginning 🙂
Wow didn't expect this. Thx for the reaction!

What a great game!! Thank you for the reaction!!

Any interest on doing Honkai Animated Shorts Reaction?
Hey Alvin! Good to see you again. Honkai Impact shorts will happen. We know we’ve been saying this for awhile but it’s true that it will come 😇🤗
this is closest game to prototype series
You two forgot to react Devil May Cry 4 and 5 Journeys.
We haven’t forgotten just haven’t gotten to it yet 😉😇
The two previous Infamous Games are better but Second Son is as Good as those Games
😎👍🙂
Thanks guys. Really is my favourite game ever. Love itttt
Our pleasure 🥳🥳
It kind of surprises me how much I've forgotten this series when it used to be my all time favorite. It was only my favorite until this game which I didn't like.
I'll try to be as non spoilerly as possible but the plot is that in previous games a shadow company that controlled the country developed this thing that could give people powers. It did this by absorbing the souls of everyone in a wide radius and for people with potential it unlocks hidden powers.
They had our main character of those games deliver it unknowingly to the center of Empire City (New York) and he gained power over electricity. In the second game some else's power is awakened and they gain the ability of the device that gave them power in the first place taking some of our guy's power in the process.
Our hero escapes though and tries to regain it and then some. All the while the other guy follows and goes on a rampage turning every city between New York and New Orleans into a crater where maybe 1% live and gain powers. Hence the animosity towards them in this game.
However at the same time some rich dude in New Orleans is trying recreate the MC's situation and gain god like power and awakens a few other people. This guy figures out a way to give other people a small piece of one power users power to normal humans which is relevant to this game.
Although the second game had two wildly different endings. One where our hero becomes the villain who continues in the previous villain's foot steps. The other that this game follows involves the awakening of people all around the world without them knowing in some cases and the weaker ones dieing. But the vast majority of power users didn't need other humans only those in the east coast where the west coast ones are pretty much just mutants like X-Men. However they get the same prejudice as those who had hundreds, thousands, sometimes millions of souls put into them and the ones who use their power to cause trouble.
Anyways I didn't like this game much just because the game play wasn't has fun and the powers didn't feel as well thought out on top of switching between them not being a thing without stopping. It feels better but everything outside of that doesn't play out as good as previous games. Not to mention the story especially if you go evil. Previous villain routes were understandable as bad as they were. This guy just acts like a child throwing a tantrum which I could understand him being a kid. However previous games were about you basically being a god and deciding if you want to act like it or be a Hero. I would love it however if the next game called that out the child behavior and let us be the guy who takes him down.
I disagree with you this game was very fun to play and the powers and I like the main character
Appreciate the review on the game and giving us some more info on the story. 🙂
Man this game series is which something I want in a game like x-men awesome different powers(from neon to video game to your first one smoke)this game was inspired by x-men love the spray painting segments plus it was also nice to know what’s been going on in the world of infamous since the first and second game looking for Audio logs also love the the nickname that the people give him is the banner man haha
So the conduit’s is something like the x-gene but the the thing is these powers are all random
The first character in the first game is Cole McGrath his power was electricity
The thing was that Cole started the whole conduits situation not on purpose it turns out a package he was delivering as a bike courier was a bomb and it cause him to activate his power his friend zeke and girlfriend helped him get under control he eventually got it under control however when the bomb activated New York now new empire city was under total lockdown and quarantine so the police were trying to help out as much as they can however Cole wasn’t the only that got powers others like him gangs and people who felt left behind started to rise up and want to control the new empire city however Cole finds out about a mysterious person looking for him for a reason that it all started and well depending on your good or bad side you save or destroy new empire and to stop the Beast or become the Beast (I’m not going to spoil the ending or the crazy twist) but if you want to just say yes if not then say no
So I’m infamous two well the fbi or homeland security agent Kuo was looking for Cole because of his experience and exploits plus they need his help finding a scientist that need help he knows what coming which is the Beast but needs Cole help but first he needs to evacuate people out of new empire city which gets under attack by the Beast Cole saves as many people he can however the Beast was too much for him so him and Zeke head to Louisiana to meet with the scientist upon arriving he meets a group armed militia that don’t like and want him dead,to a resistance and police that need his help,to someone else like him that needs his help but for her own benefit however in second one you get to choose a second power but it depends if you are good or bad ice power is good and I think the other one is like some sorta beast/fire control type that is bad depending on your choice you get it which is cool
Now the ending you sacrifice yourself and become a symbol of a hero and hope to the people or become the Beast to save people(gotta say though the bad ending made me cry because of what happens)
So in second son Delsin was just a trouble kid as you saw however him and his brother end up in bit of rescue which is well the DUP are transferring Conduit prisoners to a new highly maximum security prison well delsin ended up touching the guy with smoke and well he has a unique gene which is apparently he take other conduit’s abilities but also see there memory’s delsin at first freaked out but figured it out however upon stopping the guy the DUP arrived and well the women in charge of DUP basically wonder what happened inside well Delsin get some stone in him as well as his people (he Native American btw) kinda horrible when you see the aftermath of it so Delsin wakes up see what happens his brother tells him what happened and the stone are causing a poison which are stuck to them which need to be removed by Augustine powers so Delsin and his brother go to Seattle and yeah that’s what happened
I’m not going to say to much after that because I hope you guys play it’s very fun and awesome just wish we get a sequel to second son been 8 years already haha

Your welcome
Cannot recommend this series enough, it is a very good story and characters. Also if i may make a suggestion, check out the Prototype trailers.
an ironic rival response it looks like.
We checked out Prototype awhile ago here ruclips.net/video/j7nLaUspCQA/видео.html 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames hrm....I did not know that?
by the way, yes....from back then, some parts of rival situations between the infamous franchise and the prototype franchise from back then (and still by some players' remembrance of the 2 verses' themes and elements to this Day), both reactions from Gameplay and especially Lore-wise scenario talks.
not just because both franchises' each first game titles (IF01, P01) started out coincidentally on a Same Year from back then....
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames and both franchises' each 2 different first game titles starts off mostly on their world's fictional new york-type cities (kind of not a bit back in the infamous world, as that is mostly called 'empire city' instead. of where Cole was currently living before? and a bit different from both prototype's and our Real Life 'new york' city's).
great game
😎🤟🥳
You should check out Prototype then
We did here ruclips.net/video/j7nLaUspCQA/видео.html 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I meant playing it
I'm really looking forward to smite. You shoot videos with him too rarely and too little(
Now I hafta ask. WHENS INFAMOUS 2 Stream? Would love to see you go the evil path.
or a good choice path. try to do so, definitely.
even if just watching an all cutscenes type of showing of any/all of the indamous franchise's can be enough already.
We have a long gaming list but wouldn’t mind adding this franchise to the list 🙂
As much as i love this game, it slys in comparison to the original 2. I played all of these games when they came out and got all the trophies so trust when i say there is nothing more legendary than the story of Cole Macgrath and choosing your path with him. The villains, the characters, the story, the soundtrack, everything about 1 and 2 make second son look mid at best. The only reason second son is a thing is because most people only played the good path and i believe that limited a lot of things the devs could have taken the story.
Playing the evil path is always such fun I. Games though! Because in life most of us try the good path 😇
