He grew up just outside Seattle, where his great \u2013 if accidental \u2013 calling comes crashing into his life.<\/p>\n<p>After rescuing occupants from a fiery bus wreck, he discovers that he suddenly has the ability to direct, manipulate and even transform into\u2026 smoke. Could he have absorbed this power from one of the passengers he pulled from the wreckage?<\/p>\n<p>Setting the scene\u2026 It\u2019s been seven years since the Cole McGrath episodes and the world has clearly changed. Anyone showing signs of being a so-called \u201c<em>bio-terrorist<\/em>\u201d is immediately handed over to the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) \u2013 a government agency created to ensure there is never a repeat of the catastrophic events of Empire City and New Marais. So Delsin, who has never been particularly respectful of authority, finds himself caught in the DUP dragnet\u2026 and decides he\u2019s not going to go quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, Delsin is going to ask questions that are not just relevant to the world of <em>Second So<\/em>n \u2013 but to the world we all live in today \u2013 a world where we are often instructed to surrender our freedoms to help improve our security. Ben Franklin once wrote <em>\u201cThose who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.\u201d<\/em> Is he right?<\/p>\n<p>As you play <em>Second Son<\/em>, you\u2019ll explore lots of Seattle\u2019s familiar landmarks. As with all games in this series, the path the gameplay and story take will depend on the decisions you make along the way. And, of course, we are creating all these characters and locations at a remarkable level of detail \u2013 made possible by PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n<p>In fact this trailer was produced in-house using our game engine \u2013 can you tell we\u2019re having fun with the new GPU, tools, and our new VFX system?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h6>Source: <a title=\"PlayStation blog\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.eu.playstation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation blog<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More PlayStation 4 news<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"All PlayStation 4 news\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/tag\/ps4\"><strong>All PS4 news<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Diablo III coming to PS4, PS3\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/50850-diablo-iii-coming-to-ps4-ps3.html\">Diablo III coming to PS4, PS3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Watch Dogs heads to PS4, new gameplay video\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/50849-watch-dogs-heads-to-ps4-new-gameplay-video.html\"><strong>Watch Dogs heads to PS4, new gameplay video<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Killzone Shadow Fall revealed for PS4\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/50848-killzone-shadow-fall-revealed-for-ps4.html\"><strong>Killzone Shadow Fall revealed for PS4<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/columns\/50814-playstation-4-must-be-a-game-changer-for-sony.html\">Playstation 4 must be a game changer for Sony<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/50807-ps4-premium-subscription-release-date-pricing-rumours.html\">PS4 premium subscription, release date, pricing rumours<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/49517-next-gen-console-xbox-720-playstation-4-secrets-leaked-to-nvidia-by-ex-amd-executive.html\">Next-gen tech secrets leaked to Nvidia by ex-AMD executive<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/49653-next-gen-ps4-orbis-and-xbox-durango-hardware-details.html\">Next-gen PS4 Orbis and Xbox Durango hardware details<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PS4 sees a favourite return with a new hero to lead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":50873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,133,8965,1239,1853,71],"class_list":["post-50872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-infamous","tag-infamous-second-son","tag-playstation-4","tag-playstation4","tag-sony"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50872"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50942,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50872\/revisions\/50942"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
