Just because parts are named doesn't mean they're standard. Previous consoles have had named brand components specially designed for the systems.

Deep down looks cool but not cool enough to buy another Sonygger console for.

two rumors slashed
it doesn't require an always-online connection (which i think was more of an xbox rumor), and it doesn't block used games

It's backwards compatible for the other play stations right?

PS3 Slim isn't, so i highly doubt it.


Is there a microphone in their controller like the vita? Then everyone who owns a PS4 will have a headset.

I thought i heard that they're gonna try and work out a way for it to have full backwards compatibility?

a vibrating, clicky microphone. 

I don't actually know what happened to Cole since i wasn't up to date with the story when ever my brother played it, but he says he died or something, right? Cole was a pretty cool guy and he also had the voice actor of Ellis in Left 4 Dead 2 whom was a pretty good voice actor

I also thought that, he really looks like some kind punk you would see hanging out with a gang in a alley or something, what are his powers anyway? They don't seem as electric as Cole's
Cole appeared to have died however in the end lighting hit the ship that he was on and it made a question mark shape.

Basically this. I haven't played the second one either, I'm still on the fence about it considering I know what happens at the end of the good storyline, and Zeke in the evil storyline.

But yeah, I'm kind of disappointed that both of the second one's endings allowed for another sequel, yet Second Son doesn't feature Cole as the protagonist. I'm hoping Second Son is just a spin-off or something. InFamous would make a nice trilogy.

Quote from: Article from Sucker Punch's Website
Delsin Rowe is the star of Second Son, and you probably know someone like him: A 24 year-old who is absolutely convinced he’s destined for greatness; though so far that greatness has managed to elude him. He grew up just outside Seattle, Washington, where his great – if accidental – calling comes crashing into his life. After rescuing occupants from a fiery bus wreck, he discovers that he suddenly has the ability to direct, manipulate and even transform into… Smoke. Could he have absorbed this power from one of the teenagers he pulled from the wreckage?

Setting the scene: It’s been 7 years since the Cole MacGrath episodes and the world has clearly changed. Anyone showing signs of being a so-called “bio-terrorist” is immediately handed over to the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) — a government agency created to ensure there is never a repeat of the catastrophic events of Empire City and New Marais. So Delsin, who has never been particularly respectful of authority, finds himself caught in the DUP dragnet... And decides he’s not going to go quietly.

Along the way, Delsin is going to ask questions that are not just relevant to the world of Second Son – but to the world we all live in today. A world where we are often instructed to surrender our freedoms to help improve our security. Benjamin Franklin once wrote “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Is he right?

As you play Second Son, you’ll explore lots of Seattle’s familiar landmarks. As with all games in this series, the path that the gameplay and story take will depend on the decisions you make along the way.

Yeah, definitely not interested.

it's x86 based so there is a good chance we will see more PC ports

no. they have said it is not.

So how much is the ps3 suppose to cost?

Well it's been out for a while, so you can probably grab one for around $250.  :cookieMonster:

But seriously, I think it's rumored to be around $600 or something at release. $600 or $400, can't remember.

if it's $600 nobody will buy it, i think sont has learned from their mistakes. at most it's gonna be $400 if it's going to sell at all.

Either way, I'm just going to wait for the slim version a few years later. The slim version always has a few fixes, and it's always a cheaper price than the original console at it's first release.
