Telling the Time

[wexer9]

Is there any way to tell the time without pulling out your alarm-clock watch at a safehouse? If there is, it would be useful in budgeting your time to make the most of the night hours (when you have to do most of your business when playing on Infamous).

Unfortunately, no. I seem to remember some members reporting that they'd seen something like the watch being used in the field in beta versions of the game, or in trailers, but it seemed to have been dropped from the final version.

Yeah, it would come in very handy indeed. It seems the only way to get at least a rough idea of the time is to look at where the sun is in the sky.

That's kind of odd that they would take it out, it would certainly increase immersion. However, telling the time by the sun's position is also pretty...ghetto. 8) :P

You can use (unlocked) undergound locations, they are always open and have a bed, hence a watch.

You can roughly guess the time by checking sun and moon -- look at sun or moon when visible and when you're near a safehouse/underground location. Check the clock in there and check the position of the sun/moon again. You should be able to roughly tell the time after a while of practice :)
