Hey everyone! Yet another Infamous: Second Son blog but before you decide to get some food, it won't be a large blog, well as not large as my latest ones so you won't have to worry about reaching for some snacks... hopefully. I would just like to say first that I don't really write many reviews or previews for that matter but this game will be an exception. I have already written my preview and you can be sure that I will write a review about it once I get my hands to play on this lucky game! However until then, I will write a few blogs about the news and trailers we have about the game. Maybe something I should have done with Assassin's Creed 3 instead of me sending lots updates to people (AKA spam) but who resit? 
Anyways, as many of us know, Gamescom was yesterday and for those who didn't know, it's probably a wake up call to watch some cool trailers. They were many surprises and for many people, disappointment. A common theme throughout every year and every event where we hope that our wonder games will be revealed next time. Infamous: Second Son was one of the lucky ones to get another trailer and considering it'll be released in February 2014 exclusive to PS4, we're still a bit of a way from playing the next instalment of the Superhero... or villain series (you decide) and so it's understandable that we won't get many information for now compared to some of the biggest games to be released this year like Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Battlefield 4 but don't threat! We'll still get plenty of trailers at the VGAs and around Christmas.
I'm getting ahead of myself here so I'll start this blog off with the trailer that was released yesterday where I'll make an analysis from it as well as a few of my thought and what could be in the game. Plus I will separate the paragraphs with some screenshots that have been released so you don't fall asleep. Enjoy!
So we have a character known as Abigail Walker and one of the few characters in the series to have an alter ego name which in her case is known as Fetch, aside from the fact that the camera has full battery, it seems like many of the Conduits in the series who is prepared to kill without mercy and even has revealed her own set of ideals which we will mostly see more varied Conduits with many personalities and their goals in the series.
^ Free hugs!
Next, it turns over Delsin Rowe who is able to gain access in to DUP gates and will be like the previous games and slightly unique to many open world games where you start off secluded on one island or one district controlled by a certain individual and once you defeat a boss or manage to break out, you're able to see the rest of the city where powers have broadened up and can see the whole world in a different way with many unique environments. So from the console Delsin failed to activate, it seems that you can use an assortment of tricks from the PS4 controller with the new touch pad. I think it's possible that it could allow you to play puzzles or allow a chance for the game to test the player's ability of reaction time but if you fail, you'll have to turn Deslin in to a scene from an action movie. Ultimately dividing action and puzzles for the easy way to get around. Then again, it could just be a cutscene. 
^ My avatar for now.
A lot of the powers of smoke and fire, we've already seen many of the abilites this young character can perform but some new ones have emerged from the trailer like power to destroy everything in your path by leaping in to the air and punching the living daylights out of the ground at 0:32 which is common upon much of the series already but another seems pretty new at 0:36 where the fire rocket seems to flow in to a spiral. Possibly a new upgrade for the previous powers in the E3 gameplay trailers hinting we'll be able to use a system like that of Infamous 2 where it's optional to choose different versions of your powers whether it's firing 3 shots from Cole Macgrath's lightning arm or using it like a machine gun with rapid fire.
^ It appears like we're gonna be using both a melee weapon and fists. My dream Infamous is coming true!
Delsin arrives at what appears to be Abigail's... Fetch's... residence and a energy source for her powers if not a catalyst unless Delsin was chasing her in an Uncharted inspired scene. Maybe a boss fight scene takes place but this is what became one of the highlight's of the trailer. First of all we see his brother supporting him so he will probably act like Zeke in a way so as a non-conduit but supporting anyway he can... unless he is Zeke who lost a little bit of weight. However what was truly remarkable is that we finally got to see Delsin's main power. To absorb other powers which has seemed to take a whole 6 months, half a year to see in action. Although it seems like Delsin doesn't agree with his brother to leave her there or kill her and decides to absorb her powers from himself.It's very possible this could be a Karma moment. Maybe good karma could represent his brother's choice and may even spare enemy Conduits to join him whereas evil would simply steal away their powers, maybe even their whole body. I also think that they could even go with a neutral Karma gameplay mechanic. They have tried it in the very first Infamous and Infamous 2 but scraped it. If so, they could just leave the Conduit where they are and run away.
^ Smile for the weapons! 
Before I talk about the power he pickpockets, there is one more thing I would like to talk about and that would be and that would be the way the main character talks. Unless they've taken away the Karma choice and it's all linear which I don't think they would do, it looks like an evil karma choice has more emphasis around the scene. In the first Infamous, the good and evil choices wasn't exactly the most developed formula for the series and even though Infamous 2 improved it, sometimes the story seemed linear and not a realistic as it could be. However, it looks like the Infamous: Second Son scene could provide more tone to the character and makes you connect where he is going in his life and in a way, a much darker character unless this is like a tutorial for the game for Karma choices and maybe we'll sacrifice powers for other powers so stealing Fetch's will gain you negative karma since she might not be a bad person but for positive karma, a DUP member looks like another victim for the superpower pickpocketer. Overall, his brother marks as a story element Delsin may convince him that he needs the powers to fight off more powerful enemies where his brother could try to stop him especially if he truly Infamous and ultimately the choices and consequences may have an impact on their relationship as brothers and their fate in the endings.
^ I just wanted a handshake!
After this questioning scene, it's possible Fetch tries to defend herself but her powers are underpowered by Delsin's magnet of powers abilities as shown in the pic above. This is where we see fragments of her life and thus maybe can absorb everything of her including her memories, not just her abilities and intelligence of the DUP which could use the comic book scenes to make Infamous and superhero fans feel right at home with the new direction and style of the Infamous series. It kinda reminds me of Prototype and who knows? Maybe we'll get a few side missions of stealing powers and also an Alex Mercer skin... or hood. 
^ Please get me some sunglasses!
So what power does Mr.Rowe absorb from Madame Walker? Well... it's a mystery unless I've missed something but I don't think it's electric powers. I know what you're thinking. Shocking! Although it could be something slightly close. It could still be energy but just pure energy absorbing energetic substances and use it for his own will but it could also be Neon. This is why I'm so exited. Not only is it a lesser known superpower, if it's ever been used at all before but it's one of my favourite elements. Yes, I do have my own list of elements and Neon is one of my favourites, mostly at the fact that is allowed me to win a test but also, it would fit right at home in the Infamous series since it's used in lights for signs all around large cities and it has even been used for the name of a district in the original game. However it also flows very well and like we see from the Anvil Next engine in Assassin's Creed 3, it would be great to walk past and absorbing energy without having to stop and make a static recharge but instead walk past and let it flow just like how you can slice up enemies on the go in AC3 when on the run.
Many people don't think there was much revealed than was hoped for Gamescom which is true to a certain extent but with this trailer, you have to read more between the lines. The release is still a little far away so Sucker Punch are gonna keep a lot of things a secret but it revealed at the kind of characters we'll meet, both allies and enemies and also Delsin's true power. Power absorption. However what I mean by read between the lines is that this could be a recurring theme and poses many questions. We'll see the comic scenes to add a more superhero feel to the game as always but is this scene part of a karma choice? Will the powers change the fell of the game significantly? Does it have a karma choice at all?
So that's it and remember to stay tuned to many more updates. I would just like to say that the last scene where it transfers from Delsin's energy at the end over to the PS4 logo reminds me of the PS Move. Does anyone else think that?
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed.
