The development team at Sucker Punch working on InFamous Second Son is delivering a new development diary for the game, which focuses on the ability of main character Delsin Rowe to absorb superpowers from other characters and use them for his own purposes.

One of the first powers that the protagonist gets access to is to manipulate smoke and turn himself into a cloud and the developers, including Horia Dociu, the art director, talk about how the impressive effects are implemented using the power of the PlayStation 4.

Second Son is one of the launch titles for the new Sony home console and its core gameplay mechanics are created to use the unique features of the hardware.

Recently, a retail listing has suggested that the game is set to launch on April 1 of 2014, even if it was initially announced as a PS4 launch game.
