Here is another inFamous video for you, this time focusing on the abilities gained through attaining different Karmic States.
The video includes the use of Shock Grenade and Shockwave powers - with the sinister red lightning highlighting bad karma, and the blue electricity spawning from the good. Here is what we know from behind the scenes…
Shock Grenades
Since the grenade is housed in a static electricity shell, it will stick to many surfaces, including an enemy’s clothing. As Cole increases in Good Karma, his shock grenades become much more powerful, increasing in blast radius and damage. At the highest level, Cole’s grenades will not only unleash a devastating blast, they will also automatically restrain wounded enemies.
If Cole’s Karmic State is evil, his body forges grenades comprised of positrons, or anti-matter electrons. As a result, his grenades literally split into smaller “grenadelets” that litter the target area. The most powerful upgrade can annihilate large groups of enemies.
Shockwaves
By manipulating the static electricity in the air, Cole can craft a spinning vortex of pure energy. When propelled away from him, this vortex creates a shockwave that immediately throws nearly any object into the air, including cars and people.
When in a Good Karmic State, the electron field will cause people to temporarily float in the air, and later upgrades increase the range and force of the shockwave.
If you spend experience points for Evil Karma upgrades, people and objects caught in the core of the blast will be bombarded with positronic anti-matter, causing them to electrify. At the strongest level, cars hit by the shockwave will explode, incinerating those caught in the blast radius.
Below you can find a couple of examples of what to expect when attaining good or bad karma, including the HUD that indicates the extent of Cole’s Karmic State. What path will you take?



Do want, badly!
