14 DAY TRIAL // Infamous: Second Son has just received a few more details about its moral choices and how players can behave in its open world, as well as some screenshots actually depicting action from the new title.
Infamous: Second Son focuses on a brand new protagonist, Delsin Rowe, but brings back the same emphasis on moral choices and behavior seen in previous titles, as players can make Delsin act like a saint or a sinner.
In a new preview article from Sony's PS blog, more details have appeared about the actual moral choices and how players can affect through their gameplay Delsin's attitude.
"Smoke and neon, the two powers Sucker Punch has revealed so far, can cater to either play style. Players unconcerned with the lives of civilians can wreak havoc without fear, weaponizing the environment to destroy enemy APCs, or plunging into the ground to unleash devastating shockwaves that don’t differentiate between enemy DUP agents and innocent bystanders."
Powers can also be modified in different ways to further promote aggressive or pacifistic play styles in the game.
"But Second Son also empowers heroic players in this digital playground. Players can modify Delsin’s basic neon blast with a slow-motion aim that highlights an enemy’s leg, tangling them in glowing binds. Subdued, they’re no longer a threat to Delsin, but they needn’t lose their lives to his super-human barrage."
"When Delsin gets in close to stunned enemies, small prompts on screen allow players to choose between executing and subduing their targets. With one button press, Delsin can vaporize an enemy soldier in a flash of glittering light, or leave him struggling on the ground with a battered ego."
What's more, other choices relate to Delsin's relationship with fellow conduits, including Fetch, according to the website.
"The choices presented to Delsin don’t all erupt in the heat of combat. When he catches up with the hot-headed Conduit known as Fetch, Delsin can take her under his wing and redeem her, or encourage her violent tendencies and corrupt her. These choices not only alter the course of the narrative, but change the mission sets presented to players afterwards."
You can expect to see much more of Infamous: Second Son as we get closer to its release in March exclusively for the PS4. Until then, admire the new screenshots below.
