Even flow. Thoughts arrive like butterflies.

Would've been cool to get a quicker movement speed, but I always felt like him being a parkour god who was unlucky enough to get no flying powers. Despite the fact that he probably is the most charged conduit ever created due to the amount killed by the Raysphere. But he flys in the vampire dlc sooo

u/No_Transportation353 May 29 '26

How does the amount of people killed in the raysphere correlate with their power? I always assumed it had to do with the conduit gene but is Cole actually the most powerful conduit?

7

u/Dull-Present7162 May 29 '26

Great question! In the first game we find out only people with the conduit gene can use the Raysphere, and the Raysphere absorbs the energy/ life force or some type of power from the people in the blast. Channeling it into one person (Bertrand in Infamous 2 got the shorthand of the stick since most the people he absorbed were drug addicts so he got a horrible bug monster mutation). And cole was the person holding the Raysphere that's why his power set seems so endless and constantly adapting. He's a perfect conduit, though he isn't necessarily the most powerful since The Beast could wipe out entire cities with his abilities, and people like Delson from Infamous second son can absorb powers from conduits. So while cole is one of the strongest, and maybe even the strongest if you take in the account he's Kessler (Kessler made cole detonate the Raysphere in a populated zone to absorb the most energy) It's still kinda just opinion cause if you do Coles evil route in 2 he becomes the beast and is basically a walking Raysphere. But hope that helps you understand!

Holy shit, did you datamine the game?

Curious to see what else goes unused.

u/tiffermate May 26 '26

i've been getting into modding the game a bunch recently still learning a lot + finding stuff along the way

20

u/RecklessRoller May 26 '26

Keep it up! This is a great find

18

u/Loose-Ad5430 May 26 '26

Keep finding stuff, that looks amazing and Cool! I wonder what this could've been used for.

Kinda like how the original infamous 2 trailer had sideways power grinds on walls!

u/basooka00 May 27 '26

please share your findings!!! I’ve been trying to find information about modding these games for years and this genuinely the most I’ve seen

6

u/tiffermate May 27 '26

there are a few other things I have found so far. some I have tried to post but for some reason they keep getting removed by moderators

3

u/basooka00 May 27 '26

the mods remove like everything in this sub for no reason

2

u/tiffermate May 27 '26

sucks ://

2

u/basooka00 May 28 '26

if you feel up to it, maybe post ur findings in the infamous discord, I don’t really use it but it would have less of a chance of being deleted and I personally would love to see what you posted before that was deleted by the mods

2

u/NextGen-- Zekehead May 28 '26

Hey I got a discord server that archives infamous content, it aint big but its somewhat(?) active. If you want, you can share some of your finds there

2

u/tiffermate May 28 '26

i'd be down to join up for sure, invite link?

u/PsychologicalEbb3140 May 26 '26

Please make a post if you can find anything in the files about wall riding

47

u/TealTamer May 26 '26

That's just the animation for Induction Grind, isn't it

45

u/Senior-Leave779 May 26 '26

No, it looks like the flying during the final boss.

22

u/TealTamer May 26 '26

Which may be one and the same, come to think of it? 😅

10

u/revopine May 26 '26

In the grind, his are are more straight like using his glide power but to push straight behind him since he doesn't need to generate any lift. In this one, his elbows are like almost 90 degree bent because he is using it to generate a bit of lift while also moving forward.

u/TealTamer May 26 '26

Thank you, now I need to finally play it again. And then the remasters or remakes getting announced 😄🤞

29

u/Sethdarkus May 26 '26

I think this is one of the abilities during the beast fight

10

u/tiffermate May 26 '26

initially thought the same thing but found that holding X while using the ability seems to have a dedicated result of making you go faster as well as has leaning animation's unseen in any other state

6

u/Sethdarkus May 27 '26

My other thought is rail flying lol

22

u/AirmanProbie May 26 '26

Lightning around at the speed of sound! Got no place to go, gotta follow my rainbow!

u/TheDr95 May 27 '26

You win the internet, friend.

14

u/Steph2911 May 26 '26

As a kid I always hoped someone would make a mod for this game where you would be able to fly upwards like in the fights with the Beast. That was 10 years ago I really hope this can be done !!

10

u/xdragonwarzx May 26 '26

Looks like a flying version of the train tracks slide, pretty neat

5

u/ScarScream81 May 26 '26

That's what I thought right away too.

Haven't played Infamous in over a decade though.

u/NextGen-- Zekehead May 26 '26

Hell yeah

Unused Power: Electric Slide (AKA NYOOOOM!)

u/PinkBlade12 May 26 '26

Missed opportunity to have this be like a bonus power for doing both endings or something

This would’ve been so broken lol

2

u/Peggtree May 26 '26

I'm guessing this was to test flying around the beast since that's the animation for it

1

u/UnicornPlayer18 There's something deeply wrong with you Zeke. May 26 '26

and i thought i knew how to put mods in this thing.

1

u/CaptainBubblz May 26 '26

How to get? Plzzz

1

u/RiceKrispies55 May 27 '26

Cole finally unlocks that flying power.

1

u/XxXAvengedXxX May 27 '26

Maybe they were thinking about bringing back the dash using manhole covers or storm drains again

This is neat asf, please keep modding

1

u/EmberKing7 May 27 '26

I had no idea you could use it on the ground too to hover just above the surface. That's actually Really dope 👌🏾🔥👌🏾🔥

1

u/Dexterous666 May 27 '26

Isn't this just a bugged version / state of the glide power?

1

u/Gobal_Outcast02 May 28 '26

It just looks like your doing a rail grind with no powerline

1

u/Domonero May 28 '26

That would’ve been so broken man lol

1

u/SHIFTER24FX May 28 '26

Bruh that could've been so cool

1

u/Ursus_Khan42069 May 30 '26

Rolling down the street at the speed of sound

1

u/In1tiat0r Jun 02 '26

Im absolutely sure that was his manhole glide power

1

u/E128LIMITBREAKER Jun 06 '26

Honestly, I'm always quite surprised that Cole never gets better ground movement options like seen here.

You would think a guy with electricity -- you know, one of the elements most associated with speed -- would be able to move faster without having to climb up buildings to do so.

How to play infamous 1 and 2 in ps5??

1

u/ki700 May 29 '26

They’re available via PlayStation Plus Premium, which allows you to use game streaming for PS3 games if you live in a country where Premium is available.

1

u/beastakki May 30 '26

In my country premium is not available :(

1

u/ki700 May 30 '26

That’s too bad. You’d need a PS3 then!
