How, though, if the canonical ending is the Heroic one? How is there still a conduit? Did the gene just reappear? Did I miss something?
He's native american?
I honestly thought he was asian.

That's because Native American's are actually Asian's that migrated through the ice bridge up in Alaska.

Well yeah im pretty sure everyone knows that, but they still look different for the most part, i'd say.
I really hope this game doesn't have a dumb morality system. The "choices" in the other games were laughable.
Still, it will probably be awesome anyway. I can't wait to play as a character with a new set of powers.

Some people probably had the gene but it never activated.
Wait, he charges up his power... by inhaling smoke?
420 blaze it.

If this was on PC there'd be a Snoop Dogg mod by the end of the release day.
I'm still a bit disappointed that Sucker Punch didn't create a new IP for the new generation. Infamous was cool and all but I feel like it should have ended with Infamous 2.
To be fair, other than the same concept (SUUUUUPER POWERRRRRS) it's basically the same as a different IP.

They didn't really detail what caused conduits to die did they? So it is very likely that the only ones who did were the ones who had activated that power. Explaining why this guy doesn't realise he has the gene until he comes into contact with conduits.
Whatever they do, I'm sure it'll be fine, the first two games were great. And it's pretty cool they used player metrics to pick the canon ending, not pre-deciding it themselves. I expect if the canon ending was the evil one the game would be more about conduits fucking each other up in a power struggle.

If you watch the ending:
[video=youtube;1DJhjZ03AJc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DJhjZ03AJc[/video]
You see that people all over the world die, including people who would have never been exposed to the first ray sphere detonation.
It killed everyone with the gene, active or not.
So, is this a direct sequel, prequel, side-story, or an alternative universe thing?

Sequel, same universe, 7 years after Cole's death.

Neat! Still need to beat the first one and pick up the second one.

If there's one type of game where a black and white morality system is fine it's a superhero game. Gave it some cheesy comic book cred.

I almost cried during the good ending when the credits started rolling and that damn song started playing.
And during the evil ending when [sp]you have to shoot zeke while he's just fumbling about with his gun...[/sp]
:(
Zeke I love you man. They better have him in this game, even if it is just a quick reference or mention.

I'd really hate for him to not make an appearance in second son, especially since we apparently saved him due to infamous 2's official ending being heroic. God damnit Cole, we're gonna miss you.

I wonder how they will handwave it now.

What I'm banking on is that someone's found a way to artificially create conduits by way of another Ray Sphere or something like.
Also, if any of you are interested, we do have a thread for this in the General Games Discussion sub-forum.
