This is definitely going to be one of my first games for the PS4, along with Killzone, Knack and Drive Club (may upgrade from the PS+ version). I platinumed the first 2 and am going to really enjoy getting the plat on this one, too. This, as well as the other games I mentioned, are showing why we need an upgrade. Dem grafix iz purdy!

If only Second Son would have one or two songs from my favorite band in the soundtrack...

Nah, I'm just dreaming.

If you're a fan of Crackdown, then you're not worthy enough to own a Playstation 4. By all means, you can put the PS4 on your "radar", you can sincerely repent for playing an Xbox exclusive, and you can even give Sony 400 dollars; but it would all be futile. Nothing would ever redeem your tainted soul enough to allow you to experience the majesty of the Playstation 4.

Can I be a former fan of Crackdown who thinks that Microsoft pissed on the franchise with Crackdown 2, and also admits that Infamous is actually a much better game by any metric?

Cool but infamous crapps all over crackdown lol.

Once an Xbox gamer, always an Xbox gamer.... There is one exception, but only when the following four conditions are met:

(1) You had a near-death experience recently which damaged your brain so much that it changed you to a completely different person, erasing all memory and love of Crackdown, the Xbox, or any other entity affiliated with Microsoft; (2) this near-death experience must have come from an accident received during a sabatoge on Microsoft (the sabatoge attempt need not be successful); (3) you must get a tattoo of Kaz laughing on your left butt cheek (it MUST be your left butt cheek or the entire process is invalid!); and (4) whenever you come within 4 meters of a Playstation 4 owner, you must immediately bow to him and say "I am not worthy!"

All of the conditions must be met in that order. 

After these specific conditions are met, your file be given to a board of directors who will decide your fate. The process takes about six months. If you are approved, then you will have every right to fantasize about the Playstation 4 when you masterbate, and only on your birthday. But you will never have the pure soul necessary to play the Playstation 4, heathen!

Cool screen shot!

I've never owned or had the desire to purchase a Microsoft console, and my only experience with Crackdown was a matter of playing it over at a friend's house while he ignored me and played PS3 games instead.

I'm not worthy!!!!!! *bows*

I admit, this is an unusual condition. Your situation will have to be evaluated. If all goes well, you'll be able to masterbate to PS4 on your birthday and Christmas.
