Story

•  Conduits now referred to as bioterrorists

•  New area of government keeps track of the conduits: Department of Unified Protection

•  Condits have been identified, holding them without trial in containment facilities

•  Department of Unified Protection shows its power during an operation that doesn’t go as planned in Seattle

•  Transport vehicle crashes and the conduits escape

•  DUP sets up roadblocks and won’t let anyone enter/leave

•  Condits have been identified, holding them without trial in containment facilities

•  Department of Unified Protection shows its power during an operation that doesn’t go as planned in Seattle

•  Transport vehicle crashes and the conduits escape

•  DUP sets up roadblocks and won’t let anyone enter/leave

•  Lots of security systems are sent out and Seattle is turned into something reminisint of an airport

•  There are elevated walkways with search-lights and security cameras as well as checkpoints and scanners

•  Game has parallels to post-9/11 America setting

•  Security vs. freedom theme

•  DUP is like the TSA

DUP guards

•  DUP guards feature behavior similar to that of SWAT teams/trained military police

•  Others have a seemingly supernatural ability to shield themselves and move around quickly

•  Sucker Punch won’t elaborate on this further

Protagonist

•  Stars 24-year-old Native American Delsin Rowe

•  Delsin is the artistic type with a chip on his soldier

•  Fan of anti-authoritarian street art

•  Likes tagging buildings with his own art

•  Very much an average guy until the conduit-transport vehicle crashes

•  Delsin tries to help those in the wreck, and learns that he’s been a conduit all along with dragging an injured conduit from the area

•  Soon realizes that he can control smoke

•  Natural power lets him absorb other conduits’ power

•  Can use more than smoke power

•  Delsin is excited about his power unlike Cole

Gameplay

•  Delsin can take down different forward-operating bases run by the DUP around Seattle

•  Can get through these areas with force, but eliminating security systems is more effective

•  Smoke projectile at Delsin’s disposal

•  Also can perform a smoke-dash maneuver somewhat like Nightcrawler

•  Air ducts found all across Seattle

•  Can use the ducts to get around or climb like Cole

•  Another technique lets Delsin throw smoking fireballs

•  When Delsin descends, he can perform a “move” like Cole’s thunder drop

•  Forests act as the edge of the game world

•  Another move: smoke cloud; immobilize enemies

•  Can restock on smoke from chimneys, destroyed cars, and even tear gas canister

•  Can also use Delsin’s chain as an alternative weapon

•  Absorb smoke by pressing both thumbs down on the touchpad

•  Touchpad can also be used to free conduits in cells

•  Team wants to simply the controls; inFamous 2 actions required multiple button presses

•  One moment of the demo lets players make a decision about killing a DUP officer or not

•  Can switch between entire sets of power that complement each other

General

•  Sucker Punch recreated the city’s feel instead of specific road layout
