10 Reasons Infamous: Second Son Will Be The PS4's First Essential Title

7. Dualshock 4 Features

If you have played Killzone Shadow Fall you are aware that developers are already making use of all the new and interesting features that can be found within the DualShock 4. Audio diaries played through the speaker on the controller, the LED light on the controller changed colours to signal your health state, and the touchpad was used to shift the modes for the OWL drone. While there is no downloadable to go off of, gameplay demonstrations have made it pretty clear that Second Son makes some interesting utilisation of the DualShock 4 too. The touchpad seems to be used for quick time events and recharging your smoke oriented abilities, the SixAxis feature is back to steer Delsin while he is in midair and crashing down to the ground in his epic catastrophic super-move, And taking a page from the aforementioned Killzone Shadow Fall, Infamous: Second Son will also play various sound effects and audio clips through the built in speaker. Perhaps the most useful controller feature comes from the remodelled thumbsticks that contain a far narrower dead zone, allowing gamers to aim and shoot fireballs with much greater precision. And in the end, that is a controller feature that is truly going to make Infamous: Second Son a much more engaging and tighter game to play.
