Well, I'm already excited to see the Ionic Powers... Judging by that he may have got his powers from someone he rescued, it is possible that his powers are actually kind of mimicry. You beat a Conduit - you get his powers.
Personally, I'd like to see some Power Cosmic space-time powers, or maybe enhanced telekinesis, or air powers (this would be good for shockwaves, don't you think?)/

Ooh, yeah. Great idea. Maybe he got the smoke powers from a conduit that died in the bus, so every conduit he kills will give him at least a single new power.

or every conduit he saves :)

like he learns new powers early in his journey by helping them...them pop goes the new ability, then he's caught in a real pickle & some baddie suggests bioleaching some poor soul to get more power faster(evil method), its like harvesting lil sisters, sure you get more but there's a trade off

So yeah, how would you bioleech? Or pulse heal? Or do that thing where you stick them to the ground?

I'm guessing that L2 will still drain, but it takes longer, and you just pull the heat from the air. Similar looking to Ionic Drain.

that's why i don't think this smoke & ash won't be the sole power at our disposal

As you saw from the trailer, Delsin will have smoke powers in Second Son but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. He’s capable of so much more than you saw in the announce trailer...

3 votes in the poll is pretty unnecessary.

You really want me to buy the Playstation 4 don't you? Well guess what... It worked.

3 votes in the poll is pretty unnecessary.
Once you set it it's stuck in. I thought 3 would be a good amount incase we had a bunch of different things to choose from. Like a poll: what kind of elements/power types would you like to see most? Then we could pick 3. Just planning ahead.

I'm really excited for how this will end up turning out. Depending on the price, I may end up getting a PS4, mainly for this game.


My thoughts on the powers, considering this tease, are that maybe he can (eventually) switch between 4 or so completely different power sets at will, during combat.

Want precise, traditional gameplay? Use the electricity you're so accustomed to.
Want pure, destructive power? Switch to your smoke/fire.
Nonlethal, but wide area attacks? Ice/Water.
Massive, destructive, and extremely lethal attacks? Use Earth/Metal.
