This is a necessary evil, as trying to bite a disguised first-born for a quick pick me up results in them shedding their human form, spreading their wings and trying to turn you in to a Happy Meal.Īs Mary’s influence and infection spreads, ordinary citizens become beholden to her and operate at her whim, namely, to throw a spanner in the works and to keep Cole in perpetual night. Using this vision shows who has a heartbeat and who doesn’t, allowing for immediate identification and pacification. You’ve also been graced with Vampire Vision, which allows you to pick up the trail of your pulseless brethren, but more importantly, ascertain which common citizens are actually first-born vamps in disguise. This single addition changes the entire way you’ll play inFamous and is more than addictive when you descend on a group of wannabe Draculas and serve up an all-you-can-eat stake buffet. As you find more collectable bottles of blood, you can extend your flight time and even incorporate it into regular combat using it to dust the clusters of vampires mid-flight. It’s visceral and looks absolutely badass. By feeding on citizens Cole can now take to the skies switching to first-person view surrounded by a colony of bats. The choice between good and evil is now moot with his vampire nature taking hold. The bloodlust Cole has inherited from his Sire, Bloody Mary, has given him a new lease on (taking) life as he chows down on New Marais' drunken louts to enhance these new abilities. The mechanic works well and it’s great to see Zeke take centre stage for a moment (in a manner of speaking). The story is told via comic book through Cole’s bro Zeke as he’s drowning his sorrows in a bar desperately trying to gain the affections of a stunning young lass. Running against the clock, Cole now has eight hours to stake this vampiric she-bitch before sunrise or join the ranks of the undead forever. The vixen is Bloody Mary and besides having a strong allergic reaction to sunlight, crosses and wooden stakes, she’s bat-shit crazy and on a rampage, and Cole is her latest pet project. Gallivanting around the first island of New Marais, amidst the revelers and partygoers letting off some neon-clad costumed steam, Cole crosses paths with a pale Gothic-looking chippy who takes him out for a bite. No such luck, for even on All Hallow’s Eve the universe just can’t stop frakkin’ with this poor unfortunate sonufabitch. Battling his way down to New Marais (totally not New Orleans) and going mano-to-mano with the behemoth simply known as The Beast, the guy could use a bit of R&R to recharge the old batteries and get himself a little down time.
After getting zapped with a mysterious thingy known as the Ray Sphere he’s more electrifying than Scarlett Johansson’s underpants and has a tendency to attract all manner of nasty vermin. Some guys just can’t catch a freakin’ break.
