These overcast shots look to have Drake using that same feature to protect his new lady friend Marisa from afar, in-between picking off nondescript thugs and blowing up cars. Though it might break up the whole jumping around thing Nate does so well, we hope these sniping sections aren’t just tacked on to use the system’s new gimmicks.
