Infamous 2

Looks like he can launch himself up as well, which will be awesome for climbing instead of spending 20 minutes hoping from grip to grip with the same exact animation. Also, the melee combat looked interesting, far more fluid then the original, hopefully his little tesla coil tuning fork of power changes up the gameplay a lot from the original as well.

Game looks so much improved over the first, the new powers look really fun.

**Insanecyclone** · 2010-07-02 15:38

Curious to how he gets the ice power still. The gameplay flow looks really good now with him jumping around seems faster too.

I get the feeling climbing a building now will turn into a game of finding a metal pole to launch yourself up with rather than just jumping your way up piece by piece because we'll all be spoiled by the new method of scaling walls.

They must have been talking with Insomniac or Naughty Dog though as there is no way they could have improved the visuals that fucking much alone. Probably required a lot of retooling their existing engine as it wouldn't make sense to start that from scratch. Shit look nice and smooth without a hitch.

At least Cole still appears to have his "I take no bullshit" attitude so far.

Pretty sure it is a new engine. The first infamous was done on a tweaked PS2 engine if I remember correctly.

All I recall of inFamous 1 was that it was proto-typed using Sly Cooper on PS2 hardware, and then everything got moved forward to the PS3.

Makes me wish game developers would release making-of books (including concept arts) more often, I'd pick that shit up in a heart-beat. That or do what God of War 3 did and just include 3 fricken hours of documentary on the disc itself for our viewing pleasure.
(that was seriously an awesome bonus and making use of BluRay space that's typically wasted)

That was pretty awesome looking. Can't wait for this game.

From everyone's favorite IGN! I for one approve of this. The new Cole looked nothing at all like the old one.

A panel for Infamous just let out at San Diego Comic-Con, but the real news came before the show even started. Sucker Punch is changing Cole's look in Infamous 2 so that the protagonist looks more like he did in the original game.

A few weeks ago, the developer released the first screens and videos for Infamous 2, and all of that featured a drastically different Cole. This version of the hero had more hair, tattoos and a bunch of other stuff that made him look far different from the bike messenger we knew in the original game.

While the game is still in development and will continue to change, I was handed a manila envelope this afternoon that contained two images of Cole's new-new look. Due to the stage in development, I can't tell you exactly what he looks like, but I can tell you he looks more like the person we played as in the original Infamous and less like the man who was in all of those E3 screens and videos

I hope they found a happy medium between making him rat ugly and not ugly.

**OzzofAsura** · 2010-07-23 00:49

YES!!!!

I still don't like the new VA as much as the old one (though he was not great, he was more appropriate). He's Cole, not Spiderman... He's perpetually pissed off.

**OzzofAsura** · 2010-07-25 21:52

I thought the voice would not fit, and I'm pretty sure I was wrong.

New voice is okay. Sounds a little, I dunno...whiny? It's not too far of a departure from the first, but I'm not in love with it yet. It's not terrible, I just like the gritty harsh voice of cole 1.0 better. I'm sure it will be just fine in the end though, as it's gonna be another great Sucker Punch game.

**OzzofAsura** · 2010-07-26 01:42

I don't like it as much as the first either. I just thought it was gonna be a LOT more whiny. Pleasantly surprised that he still sounds somewhat disgruntled.

As much as they had good intention in trying to make a more 'likable hero', I'm still glad as all hell that they've listened to the fanbase on this one, as I liked what they had going already perfectly fine because the character's personality and current standings fit what was going on around him. New Cole looked like he didn't belong in the city at all. Hope we'll see some concept art soon of the new-old look.

Voice seems alright, appears to have a bit more of a vocal range than Cole 1.0 who was a bit monotone at times, better than nothing as things stand.

**Tyrath** · 2010-07-26 08:37

Thats a shame, I liked the new look better.

As like as Jenna Haze makes an appearance in it as well then I'll be fine.
